I wanted to play piano in restaurants in the south of France. I went there on holiday once and I saw this guy playing in an old tuxedo. He was all disheveled, with a whisky glass on the piano. I thought that was the coolest thing. So what's happened to me with 'Twilight' isn't really what I'd planned.

I have been lucky, of course. Like, last year, if I went out, I'd have to fight to chat someone up. This year, I look exactly the same, which is really scruffy, and yet lots of people seem to have just changed their minds and decided I'm really sexy.

We didn't have packed lunches at my school. I was a lunch monitor as well - I used to take everyone's chips!

People don't find the personal lives of people with much, much more power than any celebrity would have - don't find their personal lives interesting.

When you really love some one and you go to bed with them, you always want to give more than just sex.

I have been playing the piano for my entire life - since I was three.

In some ways I would like to be like Tyler, my char­ac­ter in the film.
