I know who I am. I have a very strong sense of self.

Pity is a really odd thing with abused women. You don't want anyone to think that you feel bad - even though you might.

You're literally being an actor - you're pretending - and that's not what I like to do.

People who call me the Twilight girl and mean it. Please, pigeon hole me. That means I did it right.

In personal conversations between director and actor, the male directors that I've worked with are just as emotional. Maybe it's because I had to start having very intimate conversations with adult men at a very young age in order to get the work, but I'm really comfortable with dudes. I mean, we push boundaries in this business in terms of getting to know people.

I'm not ready to get married, but I have a pretty great family and I'd like that too, someday.

I think what I've come to now is, that fear is good; it's what life is about. You need to be afraid because fear gives you the strength to carry on important tasks.
