I was not a vampire or werewolf fan at all. I'd never even heard of the series. I auditioned for the role, and as soon as I got it, I started reading the books. I'm not a reader, but I really did get hooked on them.

The day I finished 'Twilight,' I came home and started bulking up. For 'New Moon,' I'm 30 pounds heavier than I was in 'Twilight.'

Oh, it's soo hard being famous! I can't date anybody because everybody just wants my hot body and my Twilight millions!

Does my being half-naked bother you?

I love to have fun and goof around and be silly, so anybody who can also do that is good for me.

I am so crazy with my music taste and I'm so .... I mean, I'll listen to a song. I'll become obsessed with it and then I'm on to the next one. It's just very inconsistent.

It's definitely important to stay true to yourself and stay close to those people who you were close to before [becoming famous]. Family, your friends, and just not let that outside stuff get to you.
