I've actually always been interested in following a character more long term, but the only place to really do that as an actor is on a TV series.

I'm asked all the time in interviews about who I am, and I know a few people my age who have a strong sense of self, but I couldn't say I know myself and sum it up and give it to you in a little package. I don't know myself at all yet.

I think it went Twilight, Welcome to the Rileys, New Moon, Runaways, then Eclipse, so it was like one of those movies between each Twilight movie.

I push myself as hard as I can. Sometimes that can be painful and stressful but inthe end it's worth the price... I like to play characters that I can draw from in my own life. I've invested so much of my life into my work that I almost don't have any choice.

I love being on the periphery with a group of people who have the same values that I do. People who don't get off on fame, who just like the process of making movies and thrive.

Any good relationship that I've had with an actor has always been so emotional and personal. If you don't have that then you're just lying.

It's okay,' you know? It's okay to be you. It's okay to just not be okay. It's okay to not be okay.
