I think I always knew that I wanted to adopt. It never meant that I didn't want to have my own children - I always felt that if I were in the right circumstances then I would totally have my own children.

I'm just not made for that kind of live audience where you don't create a fourth wall.

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.

There are certain things in 'Twilight'... As much as I'm proud of that movie and I do like it, I feel like maybe I brought too much of myself to the character. I feel like I really know Bella now. But most readers feel like they know Bella because it's a first-person narrative.

I think there are a lot of actors who act because they have an impulse to do it and they can't ignore it.

There's nothing stronger than a woman protecting her child

Sure, 'Twilight' is really huge right now and everybody's freaking out over it, but it will go away soon and I will be back to doing what I'm used to doing: weird little movies that nobody sees.
