I Have So Much Residue Crap In My Hair From Years And Years Of Not Washing It And Not Having Any Sense Of Personal Hygiene Whatsoever. Even Today, I Go Into These Things Where I'm Supposed To Be This Sexy Guy Or Whatever, And I'm Literally Asking, 'if I Get Plumes Of Dandruff On Me, Can You Just Brush It Off?'

If I Do Decide One Day To Stop Acting, I Just Hate The Idea Of People Going: 'oh, Did You Ever Do Anything Else Besides That Twilight Thing?'

I Just Saw Twilight On Tv, For The First Time, A Few Days Ago, And, When My Song Came On, I Was Just Thinking That Is So Bazaar That I Actually Had A Song In The Movie.

Up Until I Was 12 My Sisters Used To Dress Me Up As A Girl And Introduce Me As 'claudia'! Twelve Was A Real Turning Point For Me As I Moved To A Mixed School, And Then I Became Cool And Discovered Hair Gel.

I've Never Really Taken Myself Seriously As An Actor, It Is Surprising The Amount Of People Who Think I'm Going To Be Really Dumb. I Think They Think Anyone Who Has Done Teen Movies Is Just An Idiot. I Don't Know, Maybe I Am. Some Of The Best Actors, If You Talk To Them, They're Not The Smartest People In The World.

I Don't Listen To Anyone Else. That's Why I Don't Have A Publicist Or Something Like That. I Can't Stand It If Someone's Trying To Tell Me To Do Something Which Might Be A Mistake Sometimes.

It Was Hilarious [last Scene With Edward Cullen] Considering We'd Spent The Entire Series Filming In The Most Miserable Conditions, And Then We End On The Beach In The Caribbean Filming For Two Days In The Sea. That Was Fun. We Literally Did The Last Shot As The Sun Was Coming Up In St. Thomas In The Virgin Islands. It Was A Nice Way To End It, Because They Were Considering Shooting It In The Sea In Vancouver, Which Would Not Have Worked At All.

I Wanted To Work With An Elephant.

I'll Probably Go To London And Hide.

My Ideal Of Manliness Is To Be Incapable Of Doing Anything

Peter Also Uses His Wig As A Cereal Bowl... He'll Some Times Have Some, Like, Top Ramen In It.

I Started Doing A Paper Round When I Was About 10. I Started Earning $10 A Week And Then I Was Obsessed With Earning Money Until I Was About 15.

I'm So Surprised It's Worked Out That Way. I Was Just Thinking The Whole Time That I've Never Had The Personality To Fit Into That. I'm Not Really Afraid Of It, Because I Don't Even Know How To Play Up That Aspect.

I Don't Even Know If Stephenie Meyer Could Tell You Why She Was So Fixated On This Very, Very Contained Story [the Twilight] With Obsessive Characters. It's Just An Anomaly. That's A Terrible Answer. I Don't Know.

The Stuff I Find Attractive In Women I Always Regret Finding Attractive. I Always Like A Kind Of Madness In A Woman... I Like It When They Hate Me Right From The Beginning.

I Hate People Who Cry Around Me. I'm Not Friends With Them Anymore. Especially Girls. Cuz Girls Are Crying All The Time. It's Like, 'shut Up.'

I Wasn't At All Focused On School, And I Didn't Achieve Much. But I've Got A Sense Of Urgency Now. I Feel I Can't Let Any More Time Waste Away.

I Have No Reason To Influence People. I Just Want To Have It All For Myself. I Just Want Someone To Pat Me On The Back. (laugh) It's Crazy. It Seems Just Completely Ridiculous. I Don't Know Why. I Mean, Three Years Ago, I Wouldn't Be Able To Influence My Dog To Walk.

What Worries Me The Most Is That I Don't Know When My Patience Will Run Out, When I'll Finally Do Something Really Stupid. Wait And See.

I Never Do Anything Normal Anyway. I Just Get Other People To Do It Now.

The Only Way To Establish Any Kind Of Mystique, Is To Completely Shut Up And Never Talk To Anyone. And I'm Contractually Obligated Not To Shut Up.

If I Could Get Any Semblance Of, Not Really Anonymity, But Control Over My Public Image, That Would Be Nice. But No, I Think It's Impossible [to Maintain That], For One Thing. I Don't Think Anyone Can Do That, Apart From Denzel Washington. It's A Strange Place That The Film Industry Is At, Where You Can Just Play Superhero After Superhero.

It's Been Amazing To Play The Same Character Through So Many Adventures. And It's So Strange Because My Life Has Changed So Much Over These Years, But 'twilight' And Edward Cullen Will Always Be A Part Of Me. It's Been My Whole Life. My Whole 20s. And I Wouldn't Have It Any Other Way.

Looking Scary With A Baseball Outfit On And A Little Bouffant, You Know, It Just Does Not Work. Especially With Sculpted Eyebrows.

Obviously, The Best Dressed Awards Is Very Relevant, I'm Best Dressed At All Times.(smiles)

It's Awkward Doing It With Anybody, But It's Like Twister.

If I Could Get Any Semblance Of - It's Not Really Anonymity, But A Little Bit More - Control Over My Public Image, I Guess That Would Be Nice.

I Get A Lot More Abuse In England. That's Just A General English Attitude. I Did The Same Thing To Famous People. It's Just Your Instinct.

It's Funny, People Were Asking Me How I'd Feel When It All Ends, On The First Movie, And I Don't Think I've Ever Felt More Completely Bewildered, Knowing That I Only Have A Month Of Twilight Stuff Left To Do.

I Don't Really Know How Accepted I Am. Nothing Ever Matters To Me Apart From The People With Negative Opinions. That's Literally It. That Always Drives Me On To The Next Thing. It's Funny, You Just Focus On Them And Then The Next Movie. That's The Only Thing You're Thinking About When It Comes Out.

After The First One [twilight Saga Movie], As Soon As People Start Referring To Something As A Franchise. A Franchise Is A Burger King Or A Subway. It's Not A Movie. The People Who Start To Say It Are Generally The People Who Are Making Money Off Of It. That's How They Refer To It. They Love It When Something Has Become A Franchise. But, As An Actor, I Think It's Scary.

I Was Quite Intimidated By Ralph Fiennes. I Didn't Really Talk To Him While I Was Doing Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire And The Only Thing I Did With Him Was When He Stepped On My Head. Then I Went To This Play And He Was There. And This Girl Said, “you've Worked With Ralph Fiennes Haven't You, Robert?” And I Was Like, “well, No...” And Ralph Said, “yes, I Stepped On Your Head.” And That Was The Extent Of Our Conversation.

I Don't Really See The Point In Washing Your Hair. If You Don't Care If Your Hair's Clean Or Not Then Why Would You Wash It?

I Can't See Any Advantage To Fame. I'm Happy With The Life I Have Now. I've Got The Same Two Friends I've Had Since I Was 12, And I Can't See That Changing.

My Dad Says He Likes To Bask In My Glow.

It's A Little Bit Over The Top. I Feel The Same In My Head I Guess. I Was Quite A Paranoid Person Anyway, So It Doesn't Really Feed Well When People Are Looking At You. I'm Not Really In The Right Job. I Don't Like Having My Photo Taken. I Don't Like The Attention.

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.

It's Always Been Strange To Me That Someone Can Say They're A Vampire Fan. I'm Not A Non-fan, But It's Such An Unusual Thing To Be A Fan Of. That's Like Saying, "i Love Zombie Movies! I Just Love 'em! They're My Favorite!" That's More Of A Psychological Problem Than Being An Actual Fan.

I Guess I Had To Learn How To Run Properly. I Spent A Lot Of Time On A Giant Treadmill, Like One Of Those Wheels Mice Run Around On, And Got Filmed Doing It To Improve My Form.

When I Was Flying To Rome, We Flew Over London; I Felt Like Bursting Into Tears. It's Part Of Me, So I Can't Leave London Behind For Good.

I Don't Know What's Wrong With Me, My Brain Doesn't Work Anymore. I Haven't Any Memory. I Can't Write. All I Can Do Is Sign My Name. I Tried To Write The Other Day-it Looked Like I Was Writing In Braille.

I Got £25. My Friends All Gave Me £5. It Was A Very Thoughtful Present.

Very Thoughtful

I Walked Out The Wrong Car Door And Started Walking Into The Crowd, An Interviewer Said, 'give Your Best Horror Scream,' And Stan Did This Great Scream, And I Was Too Much Of A Wimp To Do One. It Was Pathetic!

That Was The Good Thing About Having Different Directors [on Series]. You Had To Stay On Your Toes.

I Remember When I Was Younger I Used To Write In My Diary: I Want My Luck To Be Spread. “never Give Me Anything Too Lucky All At Once. I'll Take A Little Luck Now And Then, But Spread It For Seventy Years. “now That All Of This Is Happening, I'm Sure The Rest Of My Life Will Be Ruined.

I Never Understood The Nudity Thing. I’m So Envious Of People Who Can Walk Around Naked.

I'd Love To Have A Family -- Sometime In The Future.

Thats The Worst Thing, I Don't Really Care If People Say I'm A Bad Actor, I Can Like Work On That, But If They Just Say That He's Ugly Thats Just Like “oh.. Really?

I Think That's Just A General English Attitude [being Abusive]. I Did The Same Thing To Famous People.

People Would Be In Hysterics If They Saw That. It's Like, Wow, He's A Superhuman Moron.... So He Wears Lipstick, Has A Little Bouffant, And Does Little Circus Acts As Well. Oh, He's So Sexy.

I Was At A Small Private School In London. I Wasn't Very Academic. My Dad Said To Me, 'ok, You Might As Well Leave, Since You're Not Working Very Hard'. When I Told I Him Wanted To Stay On For My A-levels, He Said I'd Have To Pay My Own Fees, Then He'd Pay Me Back If I Got Good Grades.

I Like Being Meticulous And It's Quite Difficult As An Actor To Have That Much Control.

I Really Wasn't Very Much Of A Rebel. I'm Seen By People Now As More Of A Rebel Which Is Strange. I Don't Like Doing What People Tell Me To Do. I Don't Deliberately Rebel Against Them.

I Had Pecs For About Two Days. Everyone Would Hate Me. Just Look At Me Walking Around With My Little Peacoat On. My Little Customized Pea Coat.

Contact Lenses Make Me Miserable, As Soon As I Put Them In. That's What Creates The Pouting And Brooding Character.

I Actually Quite Like Working With Kids And I Like Working With Animals, Which Everybody Says You Shouldn't Do. It Makes You Feel Like You're Not Acting, As Soon As You Have Someone Who's Providing Stuff To React To.

You Can Make Five Massive Hits In A Row And Still Not Get Cast By The Directors You Want To Work With, Doing Little Movies. There Are No Guarantees. I'm Trying To Sign Up And Do Movies That I'll Be Proud Of, If It's My Last One. That's How I Think About It.

I Never Thought People Would Buy The Soundtrack [to Twilight]. So, It's A Little More Nerve-wracking Now. I Don't Know.

If I Were A Place, The Area Of South Bank, In London. Between The Hayward Gallery, National Theatre And All Other Activities, I'm Never Bored. I Would Also Say New York For The Breathtaking Skyline Formed By The Buildings And The Fast Pace Of The City, Whatever The Time Of Day.

I Don't Find Myself That Interesting As A Human Being, So I Don't Really Think That Much Of What I Say Or Do Warrants Being Recorded.

I Have Very, Very Specific Ideas About How I Want To Do My Work And How I Want To Be Perceived And To The Point Of Ridiculousness Sometimes.

I Never Really Considered Myself Attractive, Really. I Was Always Kind Of Gangly In School.

I Definitely Want To Record An Album, Direct A Film And Start My Own Religion.

I Watch So Many Movies And I Find A Lot Of Them Very Predictable, And Also, A Little Bit Playing It Safe.

Playing It Safe

I'm Just Scared Of Crowds. I Just Think People Require Things Of Me Whenever There's A Screaming Crowd, And I Always Think I Won't Be Able To Provide What They Want, So That's Why I Look Scared All The Time.

I Don't Know If I Could Ever Really Be Cast In A Heartthrob Role Apart From 'twilight,' Which I Didn't Really Know Was A Heartthrob Role. I Really Don't Feel I Am One.

I Put A Flower In Someone's Locker When I Was 15 Years Old. This Girl, Called Maria. Maybe I Was 14. She Actually Thought It Was From Someone Else, And The Other Guy Claimed It As Well, Which Was Just Great.

Peter [facinelli] Would Be So Good At Doing That. I Want Him To Do The Beyoncé Biopic.

I Read Some Gossip Thing Saying, Because I Looked Really Uncomfortable In A Paparazzi Photo Or Something, They're Like, 'he Should Get Used To It. That's The Price To Pay If You're Getting $12m A Movie'. If I'm Getting Paid $12m A Movie I'd Walk Around Naked. That's All Nonsense. I Don't Know Who Makes That Stuff Up. Even The Price For The First One Was Nonsense.

I Was Doing Progressively Smaller Movies In England, After Harry Potter... To The Point Where I Was Doing Nine-day Shoots For, Like, 20p And A Packet Of Space Invaders. And Then This Happened. So I'm Not Just Another Actor Who's Around And Jobbing. When You Hire Me For A Job, You're Hiring.

My Back Is Too Long Or Something Because My Ass Is Constantly Hanging Out.

Since The Day I Finished Shooting There's Been At Least One Person Come Up To Me Every Single Day And Then After The Trailer Came Out, At Least Four. It's Absolutely Bizarre To Me. This Was Before There Was Any Systematic Promotion Of The Movie. It's Just Completely Nuts.

I Don't Want People To Hate Me. I Basically Do Whatever I Want. But One Of The Aspects Of What I Want Is, I Want People To Like Me!

We Didn't Have Packed Lunches At My School. I Was A Lunch Monitor As Well - I Used To Take Everyone's Chips!

A 17-year-old Girl In Australia Hacked Into My E-mail While I Was On It, Then A 15-year-old Girl In England Did The Same Thing.

If I Go And Try To Watch A Movie By Myself I'll Be Completely Transfixed The Whole Time, Concentrating One Hundred Percent. But If I'm With Another Person On A Date Or Something, Within Two Minutes I'll Be Like 'this Is Rubbish, This Is Rubbish. We Should Leave And Do Something Else.' I Don't Really Know Why.

I’m Just Trying To Not Be In Stupid Gossip Magazines, Basically, And I Think The Best Way To Do It Is Never Be Photographed Ever. As I Get Older, I Just Get More And More And More Self-conscious About Getting Photographed. I Don’t Know Why. I’ve Done It Too Many Times And Now I Feel Like Everyone Can See Through Me.

I Want To Strangle Whoever Invented That R-patz Thing.

Someone Stole My Shoelaces Once From My Shoes. I Still Wear Them And Never Put Laces In Them - They're Like My Trademark Shoes Now!

I Never Ever Would Have Thought Initially It Would Have Been Someone Like Pierce Playing Charles. I Think He Has An Innate Likeability To Him, As Soon As You Meet Him He's Very, Very Charismatic. Charles, On The Page, Was Someone Who's Very Domineering And Quite A Negative Character, And Pierce Just By Being Pierce Can Change The Whole Dynamic Of It, Which Made For A Much For Interesting Relationship. He's A Really Nice Guy.

I Still Remember, I Think It Was With The Third Movie, When We Went To Munich And The Entire Olympic Stadium Was Filled With Fans, And Just To Walk In There And Do Nothing.

I Went Out A Couple Of Times With Pierce. He's Totally Recognizable, And He Makes No Effort To Tone It Down. Some People Were Glancing Over At Us In The Restaurant, And He Just Went Over And Introduced Himself. And It Does Work. It Dissipates All The Attention. Me? I Just Crawl Under The Table.

Christoph Waltz Is Stunning, An Insanely Nice Guy. He Is Not Only A Ridiculously Good Actor, He’s Also Funny, Helpful & A Good Colleague. I Like His Work Ethic. I Mean, The Guy Has Won An Oscar And Despite That He Is Receptive, Open-minded & Not The Least Bit Snooty. Reese Witherspoon Is The Same. It May Be The Nicest Cast That I Have Worked With Yet.

I Always Get Carried Away When I'm Kissing. I Just Go Nuts! Walking Away After It Is The Strangest Moment For Me. It's Embarrassing - Not Knowing What To Say To Each Other.

I Think The Most Stressful Thing In Movies Is When The Weather Is Really Random.

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.

I Aspire To Be Jack Nicholson. I Love His Every Single Mannerism. I Used To Try And Be Him In Virtually Everything I Did, I Don't Know Why. I Watched One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest When I Was About 13, And I Dressed Like Him. I Tried To Do His Accent. I Did Everything Like Him. I Think It Kind Of Stuck With Me.

There's A Thing, In General, About Doing Any Kind Of Series, Especially When The Characters Remain The Same. It's Just That You Can Go Back And Try And Improve Whatever You Did In The Last Movie, Which Never Happens. That Tone Or Work Ethic Is Nice.

I Always Think Everything Is Going To Be My Last Job So Every Single Day Is A Gift. This Whole Life Is An Accident For Me.

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!’

When You Read The [twilight Series], It's Like Saying 'edward Cullen Is So Beautiful I Creamed Myself'. I Mean Every Line Is Like That. He's The Most Ridiculous Person Who's So Amazing At Everything. I Think A Lot Of Actors Tried To Play That Aspect. I Just Couldn't Do It. And The More I Read The Script, The More I Hated This Guy, So That's How I Played Him, As A Manic-depressive Who Hates Himself. Plus, He's A 108-year Old Virgin, So There's Clearly Some Issues There

I Had To Do Two Roles In Two Days, I'm In A Hairflux.

I Am A Big Fan Of Music And Clothing Style Of The 1960s. Whether In England Or The United States, I Like Everything From That Time.

If You're A Fan Of It, There's A Lot Of Things That Plays Into What The Fans Of The Series Want. If You've Never Seen Them Before, A Lot Of People Who Have Seen It Tell Me That It's The Most Accessible Of The Three. It's A Solid Story, By Itself, And It's More Of A Sort Of Action Film. When I Was Watching Twilight The Other Day, I Realized That You Do Need To Read The Book To Get It.

Twilight Fans Are Literally On The Verge Of Being Clinically Insane.

Just Last Year I Couldn't Even Get A Date, And Then This Year… It's So Bizarre That Everybody Just Changes Their Mind At The Same Time.

I Like Being A Part Of David Cronenberg’s World, I Feel Very At Home There

I Still Had The Same Frustration With Trying To Play [edward Cullen], The Entire Way Through, Right Up Until The Last Shot. It's A Strange Part Because, On The One Hand, A Lot Of The Audience Projects Their Idea Of Edward[cullen] Onto Him. It Doesn't Matter What He Is. They Want Him To Be A Certain Way. And Then, My Instincts Were To Try And Play It And To Try To Find The Fallibility In Him And The Weaknesses.

It Makes Me Feel Like Working Non-stop: At Least, On Sets, The Level Of Security Gives Me A Bit Of Privacy. It's A Relief.

[sometimes] I Will Go Through Periods Where I Will Think 'oh Maybe I Should Do A Commercial Movie' And Then I Just Think, Someone Gave Me A Really Great Piece Of Advice, Someone From My Agency Weirdly, They Said The Only Clients That Are Happy Are The Ones That Just Do What They Want To Do. So I Just Kind Of Do Everything For Myself.

You're Trying To Play An Archetype On One Hand And A Character On The Other, So I Felt Insanely Frustrated, Right Up Until The Last Shot, And Then It Ended.

When I Was 17 Until, I Don't Know, 20, I Had This Massive, Baseless Confidence. This Very Clear Idea Of Myself And How I Would Achieve Success, Which Involved Making Decisions. I Saw Myself Picking Up The Phone And Saying 'absolutely Not' Or 'definitely Yes.' Having Control. Except You Have To Figure Out Whether The Way You Think At 19 Or 20 Has Any Value. And Eventually I Understood, With All That Control, Which Was Probably Illusory, I Wasn't Progressing. So Now I'm Relinquishing A Bit. I'll Be A Tiny Bit Naked.

My Biggest Problem In My Life Is I'm Cheap And I Didn't Hire A Publicist. In Every Awkward Interview, Normally Actors Get These Things Scripted.

I'm Boring. I Stay Home, Watch Tv, And Eat A Lot Of Fast Food. That's Really Exciting, Isn't It?

People Just Project Their Idea Of My Character On To Me And They Just Seem To Assume That I'm The Same, When In Reality I'm Not.

The Script Changed So Much Over Seven Months And Just Had Loads And Loads Of Re-writes. I Tried To Tailor Things To What I Was Interested In, Like The Relationship With The Dad Changed Quite A Lot Because I Thought One Of The Things When You're A Young Guy One Of Your Biggest Fears Is This Irrational Fear Of Walking In Your Dad's Footsteps And Living The Same Life As Him. I Thought, Even If Your Dad's A Good Guy, You Just Want To Assert Your Independence On Everything And It Causes These Irrational Sort Of Rages.

I'm Not One Of These Guys Who's Constantly In A Relationship, Not At All

The Girly Movie I Secretly Love Is Pippy Longstockings.

You Can Make Five Massive Hits In A Row And Still Not Get Cast By The Directors Who You Want To Work With Doing Little Movies.

There Was One Rumor That I Saw In A Magazine Saying I Was Pregnant. I Thought That Was Brilliant And It Still Crops Up Now. But It's Definitely Not True. I Can Promise You That.

I Went To Do My First Big Movie When I Was 17. I Was In South Africa For Three And Half Months, And I Was By Myself.

I Really Like Nicki Minaj. I Think She's Great.

I Would. I'm Just Too, I'm Kind Of, A Pussy, I Guess. That's The Problem. But, No, I'd Love To. I Think Everybody Should Do Open Mics. I Think It's Very Healthy For Your Soul. So Yeah, I'd Love To Do It Again, But I Don't Know. It's Like I'm Cutting A Record If I Do Open Mic Now, So, I Don't Know.

If You Are Using A Digital Camera Specifically For That Reason You Have In Mind From The Beginning, Then Yeah, It'll Work. But Like If You're Just Shooting A Normal Film And Just Kind Of Just Shooting Extra Stuff Because You Can Because You've Got The Memory Space, It's A Bit Pointless.

You Really, Really Feel Like You Have No Control [participating In Franchise] . I Mean, It's A Huge Juggernaut, Especially When Something Becomes Part Of The Cultural Landscape In A Way As Well. It's Really Scary Because You Get Trapped And You Get Scared Of Changing, Which Is The Worst Thing That Can Happen If You Want To Be Any Kind Of Artist.

It's Easy To Get Stagnate, If You Play The Same Character. In New Moon, I Felt Like I Was Going A Little Bit Deeper.

In This Scene, I'm Talking About How Much I Don't Like Cookies.... I'm Sayin', 'listen, Guys. Have You Read The Book? We're Not Supposed To Be Eating.'

Me, Kristen [stewart] And Taylor [ Lautner] Stood In The Middle Of The Olympic Stadium With 30,000 People Just Screaming For 15 Minutes. It's Absolutely Bizarre. There's No Way You Can Ever Compute It.

Every Time I Would Say Put A Baby In Every Scene.

When You Really Love Some One And You Go To Bed With Them, You Always Want To Give More Than Just Sex.

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.

The Link Between My Brain And My Mouth Is Just Not There Anymore.

The Whole First Movie [twilight] Was Pretty Fun. I Had Never Really Done A Movie Like It, When There's Such A Big Cast Of People That Are Around About The Same Age. Everyone Didn't Really Know What Was Going To Happen With The Movie, But There Was A Good Energy. There Was Something Which People Were Fighting For, In A Way. They Wanted It To Be Something Special. None Of Us Were Really Known Then, As Well. It Felt Like A Big Deal, At The Time.

If It's Just Screaming - And I Know This Sounds So Ridiculous - That Gets Old. But Sometimes When There's Literal Chaos, It's Like Being In A War Zone, And That's Kind Of Exciting. You're Just Running Through The Crowd Of People Chasing After You And No One Knows What's Going On.

The Only Thing That You Can Do Is Do Jobs And See If People Respond To That. I'm Always Holding Onto The Fact That I Don't Really Know Who I Am. Hopefully I Won't Compartmentalize Myself Because Of That, Because I'm Completely Ignorant Of The Whole.

Probably My English Teacher Because She Got Me Into Writing Instead Of Just Answering The Question. I Used To Hand In Homework With 20 Pages Of Nonsense And She'd Still Mark It. She Was A Really Amazing Teacher.

It's Insane. I've Had Girls Throwing Themselves At Me Since The Hype Started. Now The Film's Out I Can't Walk Down The Street Without Being Pounced On. All My Life I've Hated Crowds. Now I Only Have To Step Outdoors And I'm At The Centre Of One. It's Very Cool But It's Very Uncomfortable Too.

Everyone Just Screams And Screams And Screams. I Have Accepted It As Real Now, But It Still Feels Surreal.

People Ask Me If I'm Afraid Of Getting Typecast, But You Can't Be Afraid Of That. It's Really Not Up To You. I'm Getting Other Parts That Aren't Vampires.

No, Not Really. I Mean, At The End Of The Day, It's Just A Part. You Just Go Into It, And Like Your Life, You're Walking Along The Street, As A Really Bad Analogy, You Step On A Little Stone, And It Just Kind Of Flies Away And You Have No Idea Where It's Going. And Then You Are Just Trying Not To Drown Afterwards. And That's My Life. See, That Was Really Terrible.

The End Of The Day

I Always Think That You Have To Have A Certain Understanding Of What An Audience Would Want To See From You As A Public Person As Well As A Character.

The Person Who Proclaimed Me Best Dressed Man Never Saw Me In My Sport Outfit.

This Is Crazier And Louder Than I Was Prepared For. With Every Week, The Fervour And Anticipation Seem To Grow. People Know My Name And Ambush Me In Public And Try To Figure Out What Hotel I'm Staying At And Ask Me To Bite Them And Want To Touch My Hair.

You Can't Win. The Annoying Thing Is That You Can't Attack Them, But You Can't Defend Yourself. The Best Thing You Could Possibly Do Is Punch A Paparazzi And Give Them Their Big Payday.

As Soon As You Have Someone Who's Providing Stuff To React To, Especially Working With A Baby, It's Great.

Your Ideas Dry Up Sometimes, And You Get Lazy Sometimes 'cause You're Around The Same People. That Was The Good Thing About Having Different Directors. You Had To Stay On Your Toes.

I'm Afraid Of Buying A House Or Anything, 'cause If There's One Paparazzi Outside For One Day, Then They'll Never Leave.

The Only Emotional Connection Of Relevance Is With My Dog. My Relationship With My Dog, It's Ridiculous.

Sometimes I Think, 'to Hell With Acting' And Then I Realize I Could Be Working At A Shoe Shop. Acting Is Much Cooler.

I Thought I Was Supposed To Have A Fake Six-pack In This Scene

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'm Just A Tool, I'm Just A Big, Hard Tool.

I See Love As An Evolution Of True Friendship.

True Friendship

Only For Practical Reasons. To Find Out If I Said Something Stupid In An Interview. So I Can Limit The Damage.

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.

When The Whole World Is Watching You, They Create Stories And Give You Labels That Have Nothing To Do With You. It's Almost Impossible For You Not To Explode!

Money By Martin Amis. I Read It When I Was 15, I Read It Hundreds Of Times Since Then And It Always Makes Me Laugh. Amis Has Managed To Create A World That Is Both Funny And Abrasive. I'd Love To Play John Self, The Depraved Hero, Who's Without Illusions, He Created.

Up Until I Was 12 My Sisters Used To Dress Me Up As A Girl And Introduce Me As 'claudia'!

Sometimes Just When I Say Hello The Right Way, I'm Like, 'whoa, I'm So Cool.'

I Think So Much Of A Director's Job Is Just To Convince You That What You're Doing Is Worthwhile. "yes, This Does Mean Something, We're Not Just Messing Around." Even Though At The End Of The Day It's A Film. But At The Time It's Something Else. I Don't Feel Like I'm Making A Film, I'm Confronting Things In Myself. I Don't Know What It Is. So If Someone Is Enthusiastic Enough To Convince You That It's Important It's Kind Of Magical.

There's A Thing, In General, About Doing Any Kind Of Series, Especially When The Characters Remain The Same, To Go Back And Try To Improve Whatever You Did In The Last Movie, Which Never Happens.

I’ve Always Said To My Agents And Stuff, Like, It’s Going To Be 10 Years Before People Forget About Twilight, And That’s Totally Understandable. Normally People Keep Working And Working Until Their Big Break. You Just Keep Trying To Make The Best Of Your Decisions. Like I Try To Think How I Used To Think Before All The Twilight Movies.

Honestly, I Didn't Think That I Would Be Recognized So Easily.

It's Strange Because I'm A Sex Symbol To 14-year-old Girls Which I Guess Is Not The Most Helpful Situation To Be In. But Yeah, I've Never Really Thought Of It. It's Just So Funny. I Mean, Just Last Year I Couldn't Even Get A Date And Then This Year, The World Turns And It's So Bizarre That Everybody Just Changes Their Mind At The Same Time.

I Don't Think Anyone Knows Why People Like [twilight]. I Don't Think Even The Fans Know Why They Connect With It The Way They Do. It's A Visceral Thing.

Everyone Used To Chuck Snails At Each Other At School, And I Used To Try And Save Them. And Not Only Did I Get In Trouble For It, I Got Suspended For Doing It. For Saving The Snails I Kept About Four Or Five Hundred Of Them At The Back Of The Class -- In Snail Land. We Were Like Six Or Seven Or Something, People Didn't Even Realise What They Were Doing. I Had A Strange Compassion For Snails. And The Teacher Just Chucked Them All In The Trash In The End.

I Don't Know What To Say To People. It's Become So Big. It's Become Part Of The Cultural Environment. For The First And Second Twiglight, I Knew Exactly What To Say To People.

I Go Through Fan Mail Myself, But I Think I Might Get Them Censored, Because I'm Always Expecting To Get The One Thing That Says, 'i Know Where You Live And I'm Going To Kill You!'

The Most Embarassing Is When Friends Ask You To Meet Up With Them And You Have To Tell Them "sorry I Can't Go To That Place" Because You're Fully Aware Photographers Will Be Waiting For You There. I Feel Like Such A Weasle When Things Like That Happen, Like The World Has To Revolve Around Me.

All The Time. A Few Months Ago I Came Really Close To Losing It, I Was Getting Really Paranoid. And Then I Started A New Job, Things Fixed Themselves. I Can't Turn My Back On The Situation And Ignore It. If Tomorrow I Say: "okay, I've Had Enough, We're Stopping Everything" It Won't Change Anything. Might As Well Try To Accept It And Stay Zen As I Have No Control Over It.

What's It Like Kissing Taylor Lautner.

All Of My Favourite Actors Are American And I Grew Up Watching American Movies. It's Weird, But I Used To Do A New Jersey Accent In Every Audition In The States Just Because I Liked To Do It, Really.
