We live in a world where sort of nothing is shocking anymore.

If I ever find myself overwhelmed, it's only because I am overwhelmed by how much more I want to learn. That is what drives me.

I have a mother who allowed me to take in anything and everything that needed food, a bath, or a forever home, which resulted in a home that was always filled with warmth and love regardless of any other struggles we were presented with.

Follow your heart and don't question it, no matter where it tells you to go It will open up a world of experiences you can't even imagine.

My love for animals started before I can remember.

Right now I'm in 'Twilight' and I go around to signings and there are people screaming and crying, and it's so surreal. I know that when this is over in a month or two and whenever 'Twilight''s no longer relevant, that doesn't live on for me. It's because of this. It's not very often that this happens for people.

At the end of the day, that's our sole purpose and our sole reason for existing, is to love somebody else.
