I'm just a believer in keeping all of the creative brain cells moving and working even when you're not working because the inevitable loneliness and boring drought in the actor's world, it can eat you alive.

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.

I think my mother is my biggest influence. There are so many things I hate about her but at the same time I'm thankful for her. All I know is that when I'm a parent I want to be just like my mom. I can talk to my mom more than any of my friends could talk to their parents.

I think we learn some of the greatest lessons in life from animals, whether it's love, suffering, or the value of silence.

I learned how to change a cloth diaper on a raccoon, i was maybe 8 or 9.

I think the greatest lesson I have just recently learned is how powerful the mind is, informing our decision making unknowingly.

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.
