You can put a dog in a scene and everyone's going to be better, I guarantee it. And if they're not better, just shoot the dog.

I'd like to be called Ransom Spunk or Spunk Ransom.

It's fun to deal with the terror and the huge highs and lows of things. We're still getting massive surprises, every time you have any kind of Twilight-related event or anything.

I don't think there is any analysis. I don't think anyone knows why people like [The Twilight]. I don't think even the fans know why they connect with it in the way they do. It's a visceral thing.

When you love someone, you want that person to know that she's is your everything.

I kind of wish people didn’t know who I am, that I could just lie, say I’m a speechwriter for Obama. This is what I said before Twilight. And then Obama came along and picked up all these young writers. I found out this guy, Jon Favreau — who’s not the actor Jon Favreau — is writing for him. And I was like, Wow, I wonder if the people who thought I was bullshitting at the time are like, ‘Oh my god. That guy! That kid who was drunk in some bar actually wrote the health care bill!’
