There's no way to eloquently put this. I just can't go to the mall. It bothers me that I can't be outside very often. And also to not ever be just 'some girl' again. Just being some chick at some place, that's gone.

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

I always say every single moment that has led me to this moment has made me who I am.

What really kills me—it really rips me up—is when people think I’m abrasive, inconsiderate or ungrateful because I don’t go outside in a bikini and wave to the paparazzi. Come on!

If you follow your heart, you're never going to regret anything, even if you completely mess up constantly.

You can make a movie that's more focused on the jokes, but Young Adult was not that kind of movie.
