You don't know who you will fall in love with. You just don't. You don't control it. Some people have certain things, like, 'That's what I'm going for,' and I have a subjective version of that.

Adoption was something that was always under my skin, that I knew would be a part of my life, and, when I decided to start filing, it was very clear.

People cultivate these fully formed personalities.

Usually, at the end of a film it's like I've finally gotten to know this person completely, and then we're done. That actually happened on the set of Twilight, and then it happened again on New Moon.

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