I just happened to have enough time to be able to take other parts between those first few Twilight films. But it wasn't about proving to people that I had something else to give.

I'm so grateful that I was raised by a mother who really instilled in me that my moral compass and achievements all had to come from a real place that had nothing to do with my beauty or how I looked. That was very big for her.

You should never step outside of your life and look at it like it’s this malleable thing you can shape so that people view it a certain way.

If you like yourself, other people will like you

I don't pretend to be perfect. I want people to see me as I am.

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

I prefer to be hated than be false and fool people.
