This wasn't a choice between you and Jacob. It was a choice between who I am and who I should be.

On the one hand I have very traditional values: I'm looking for love and want a baby one day. On the other hand, I have a secret and rebel side, that I maybe took from an Australian mom who handed down to me the love for adventure and freedom. And sometimes I feel a bit offbeat.

I'm also human so I have days when I look in the mirror and go, "All right . . . Things are definitely changing." I can see that.

You know what? I don't care. I'm going to do what I want to do.

I think what I've come to now is, that fear is good; it's what life is about. You need to be afraid because fear gives you the strength to carry on important tasks.

The sad thing is that I feel so boring because 'Twilight' is literally how every conversation I have these days begins - whether it's someone I'm meeting for the first time or someone I just haven't seen in a while. The first thing I want to say to them is, 'It's insane! And, as a person, I can't do anything!'

All I try to do in the press is to be honest about something that I really care about.
