I'm not the type of person that just needs to feel concrete and like nothing's going to change. I revel in the change.

I have a great family by the way, but you need to find people who can pull something out from you that might be otherwise unseen.

I got a call from Tom Hanks, who directed That Thing You Do!, when he was done cutting that film. I was like, "Oh, my god. Tom Hanks is calling me. This is amazing!" And then, of course, he was calling me to tell me that I was barely in the movie. But I'll never forget it - and this is why he's Tom Hanks, because he's got such a way with words.

I think the way I approach things has something to do with growing up and seeing my parents go to work every day.

I'm about to play an emaciated pregnant vampire, so I've stopped using as much butter as Paula Deen - just until 'Breaking Dawn' is over.

I think I'm a bit less inhibited, and not thinking too much before speaking. It's not about being shameful, I'm just a bit more unabashedly myself because of this thing, and it probably started at age 15. I can be around people and say what I think without fear.

Pity is a really odd thing with abused women. You don't want anyone to think that you feel bad - even though you might.
