It happened while I was filming “Water for Elephants in which my partner is Reese Witherspoon. We had a scene with elephants but there were so many paparazzi around that it was scaring the animals and it was impossible to film. Out of the blue, fans, that were waiting for autographs, had enough and circled around the paparazzi. Teens made big guys run away. It was unreal! I was pleased.

I hope there is such a thing. I guess it would be quite scary to find a soul mate when you're young because you're probably going to mess it up.

I think Betty White is one of the sexiest women in America.

What was the worst thing [making Twiligh]? Playing the part where you can't get hurt and you can't die because there's no framework. There are too many possibilities if you can't die. If you're playing a normal human being, there's always that.

Peter also uses his wig as a cereal bowl... He'll some times have some, like, Top Ramen in it.

I don't know [what things are forever]. Friendship. I can think of lots of things.

I can’t remem­ber who said it, but a soul and a heaven must exist because good peo­ple aren’t rewarded enough on Earth. I always liked that idea, if that makes sense.
