I stand by every mistake I've ever made, so judge away.

And I like to keep whatever is mine remaining that way. It's a funny little game to play and it's a slippery slope. I always say to myself I'm never going to give anything away because there's never any point or benefit for me.

I know who I am. I have a very strong sense of self.

I say whatever I want, I look whatever I want. That doesn't mean I don't question myself and feel insecure.

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.

But, I'm kind of a control freak. I get really freaked out if I don't know what's going on and what's going to happen.

Despite what people think, I was such a rule follower at school. I loved the whole slacker look, like, 'Hey, I don't care, whatever,' but if I didn't turn my homework in, I would panic.
