My love for animals started before I can remember.

Before 'Twilight,' occasionally I would get the 'Hey are you that girl from that movie?' but no one knew my first and last name. The fans of the saga are amazing, and it's very flattering.

Once I realized that the only thing I can actually control in this life is my own mind, how I choose to react, feel, and perceive, I felt immediately liberated.

If we don't start acknowledging our correct position as nothing more than a part of the planet as opposed to this perception that we're superior, then we won't have it much longer. We're facing a very turbulent, war-torn, drought-ridden existence for future generations unless we act now.

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

I enjoy feeling physically strong, so maybe I'd like to be able to lift a building and launch it at someone.

I think we are all overcoming tiny obstacles every second of every day even if that means just a small shift in perspective.
