I can't do what my mother did, which is tell me every single day of my life about her labor and how long it was and how it was 36 hours of hell .

People who call me the Twilight girl and mean it. Please, pigeon hole me. That means I did it right.

I've been working as an actress since I was very young, and I know a lot of people who are actors who don't have to deal with having a persona... You know, if you look up the word persona, it isn't even real. The whole meaning of the word is that it's made up, and it's like I didn't even get to make up my own. It can be annoying.

I don't think that there's much hiding that actors can do. If you're doing good work, you're showing a part of yourself to someone.

I really, specifically, love acting, and I think it's a really cool thing to be really indulgent and follow that. I have a lot of ambitions in life, but for the next few years, I just want to be an actor. That's a lucky opportunity, and that drives me to want to be good at that.

You can make a movie that's more focused on the jokes, but Young Adult was not that kind of movie.
