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.

If you respect yourself and you love yourself, that's the only way anybody else is going to.

I'm really proud of Twilight. I think it's a good movie. It was hard to do, and I think it turned out pretty good. But I don't take much credit for it. So when you show up at these places, and there's literally like a thousand girls and they're all screaming your name, you're like, why? You don't feel like you deserve it.

I really don't think about my career, in terms of planning it out and what any role does for me.

People sometimes actually get me to think I take things too seriously and maybe I'm too earnest and it's coming across like I'm better than them.

Vanity is a silly thing to be obsessed with because... it sounds cliché but it leads you to emptiness; it goes away.

I don't want to be Angelina Jolie. Not that Angelina Jolie is not the most talented, beautiful, successful, amazing, admirable person who does good things for the world, but I don't want to be a movie star like that.
