I got the famous Oprah hug!

The actual getting into the gym and working out process was easier, but the eating was harder. I had to eat every two hours. At one point, my trainer said, 'Put anything in your mouth. Go to McDonald's, get the biggest shake possible. I just need to get calories in you.' Because my body fat at the time was only, like, seven and a half percent.

The coolest thing about the series is that we stay very true to the books; it would be silly for us not to, because the books are exactly what the fans want to see. There’s an action side to it, which I love, and there are werewolves now. There aren’t just vampires. There’s a wolf pack.

I hope that I would be considered romantic. I don't know... one of my favorite movies is 'The Notebook' so I guess that would be considered romantic. But I think being romantic is more than the flowers and the gifts. It's about connecting with the person and being able to talk and share things with her.

I live with my family. I moved to L.A. eight years ago, and it's the same room. But I'm looking now. I might get a condo.

Honesty and loyalty are key. If two people can be honest with each other about everything, that's probably the biggest key to success.

I think the fans would love anybody who played Jacob. I'm just lucky to be the one who got the chance.
