As soon as you start claiming you can be someone that you are not, you are crazy.

There are certain things in 'Twilight'... As much as I'm proud of that movie and I do like it, I feel like maybe I brought too much of myself to the character. I feel like I really know Bella now. But most readers feel like they know Bella because it's a first-person narrative.

There's no way to eloquently put this. I just can't go to the mall. It bothers me that I can't be outside very often. And also to not ever be just 'some girl' again. Just being some chick at some place, that's gone.

Don't let other people's conversations about what you're doing or you've done be part of your own conversation.

I like fashion because it’s sort of my job, so I’m into it when I have to be. But when I’m not working, I wear jeans and T-shirts. I go to vintage stores all the time to find funky T-shirts.

I've always had an aversion to looking sexy, but I've grown out of it.

I'm not ready to get married, but I have a pretty great family and I'd like that too, someday.
