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.

I think it's ridiculous that you need to look a certain way to be conventionally pretty.

With every project, you feel like you're trying to find your place to vent. For any actor, that's typically the feeling that drives you to do it.

There are always a lot of leading questions and opinions. Of course, our work is creative, and it's subjective.

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!'

But I'm glad I'm not one of those actresses who is just so ready to open up for everyone.

I love sitting down and having actual conversations. But I don't do that sound-bite, be-candidly-funny thing.
