I Don't Think That I Would Ever Do Serenade To Be Romantic. You Have To Have So Much Balls To Do That.

It's Strange, Somebody Asked For My Autograph The Other Day. Because I Finished School And I'm Not Really Doing Anything At The Moment, I Was Just Kind Of Aimlessly Wandering Around London And These Two Guys Who Were About 30 Came Up And Asked For My Autograph. I Was Really Quite Proud At The Time, And They Wanted To Take Photos And Stuff. And Then They Were Sort Of Wandering Around And I Was Kind Of Wandering Around And I Bumped Into Them About Three Times, And Every Single Time Their Respect For Me Kept Growing And Growing And Growing.

If You Find A Girl Who Reads, Keeps Her Close. When You Find Her Up At 2 Am Clutching A Book To Her Chest And Weeping, Make Her A Cup Of Tea (coffee) And Hold Her. You May Lose Her For A Couple Of Hours But She Will Always Come Back To You. She'll Talk As If The Characters In The Book Are Real Because, For A While, They Always Are. Date A Girl Who Reads Because You Deserve It. You Deserve A Girl Who Can Give You The Most Colorful Life Imaginable.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

People Who Are The Most Normal Are Probably The Most Crazy.

I Was Obsessed With Eminem When I Was Younger. When He First Came Out I Was About 12 And Fanatical About His 'slim Shady' Cd. I Think He's A Genius.

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

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

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 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 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!

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.

I Used To Wear My Mom's Wayfarers. When The People Of Ray Ban Noticed That, They Sent Me A Box Full Of Sunglasses, Two And A Half Years Ago. Now They're All Gone. They've Disappeared During Trips, Many Were Also Stolen From Me, The Rest I Lost Again And Again. Now I Have Only One Pair Left.

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 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.

I Thought I Knew It All. Again, I Knew Absolutely Nothing.

Absolutely Nothing

My Little Cousin Tells Me I Look Like Magneto So I Guess That's Who I Should Probably Play.

This Is Quite Difficult 'cause I Have A Really Flat Head, And So It's Quite Difficult To Get A Correct Angle. And You Can't Go Up From Down Below As Well, 'cause I've Got, Like, Rock Solid Gelled Hair. And So, Like, It Was Odd. I Don't Know, Sometimes I Feel Like My Head Is Being, Like, Turned Inside Out. Like That Episode Of Ren & Stimpy When He's Inside His Own Belly Button. I Don't Know.

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.

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.

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

I Will Keep That A Secret As It Was So Indecent I Doubt She Was In Her Normal State Of Mind When She Made It.

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

Nothing Can Be Good If You Do It For Money Or For Fame.

Having A Persona People Recognize, It's The Thing That Probably Gets You Paid The Most - But It's Also The Thing That Virtually Every Actor In The World Doesn't Want. 'cause, Like, No One Would Believe Me If I Wanted To Play Something Ultra-realistic, Like A Gangster Or Something.

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!

I Want To Be With My Wife. Sitting On A Deckchair, Sipping Some Tea, And Reading Books In A Retirement Home, In A Beautiful And Warm Place. I'm A Romantic Guy.

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.

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!

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 Prefer To Be Someone Who Has To Confront His Many Fears Instead Of Someone Who Has The Illusion He Doesn't Fear Anything

[a Fan] Said, 'what Can I Do To Get Your Attention?' I Was Like 'um, Just Take Your Clothes Off.' She Stood There And Frantically Started Taking Her Clothes Off And Got Dragged Out Of The Room By Security.

I'm Not Particularly Good At Coping With It. I Just Cope. I Just Leave My Brain At The Door And Just Stand There. I Can Get The Screaming More Than I Get The Photo Things. That's The Worst, When You Have This Wall Of Photographers. I've Never Understood The Logic In How They Do It. Everybody Shouts At The Same Time, And You're Trying To Do A Logical Thing, Looking From The Left To The Right. And They Almost Always End Up Looking Disappointed With You Afterwards.

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

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 Haven't Really Decided To Be An Actor Yet! I Started Doing Plays When I Was About 15 Or 16. I Only Did It Because My Dad Saw A Bunch Of Pretty Girls In A Restaurant And He Asked Them Where They Came From And They Said Drama Group. He Said, 'son, That Is Where You Need To Go.

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 Used To Be Able To Be In England And Just Be Fine. No One Had Any Idea Who I Was.i Get A Lot More Abuse In England.

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.

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.

Umm Thanks For The Phone. I Think I Already Broke It.

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

Shooting On The Street In Brazil - Compared To People Trying To Sneak A Picture Of Something, If You're Shooting In The States Or Canada - People Would Literally Just Try To Grab You.

I Might Go To Some Tiny Little Town In Idaho With, Like, Three People Living There.

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

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

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 Look A Bit Like Him.

I Feel Like You Have To Earn Something With An Audience. If I Just Did It Now, I Think Producers On Any Superhero Movie, I Think They Wouldn't Trust Me To Do It The Way I'd Want To Do It, Because I'd Want To Do Something Basically Really Strange. I Think You Have To Earn That Freedom To Do Stuff Like That. So I Think, If I Keep Kind Of Chipping Away, Trying To Do Good Movies And Interesting, Strange Movies Then People Will Eventually Trust You To Do That On A Bigger Scale.

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

After The First One [twilight], People Started Referring To It As A Franchise, But 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. They Love It When Something Becomes A Franchise. But, As An Actor, I Think It's Scary.

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.

The Only Time I Ever Follow Twitter Is If I'm In A Restaurant Or Something, Just Before I Leave, To See If People Are Waiting Outside. It Does Make You A Bit Of A Loser, Especially When Someone Asks You, 'hey, You Want To Go To Dinner At This Place?' And I'm Like, 'can We Have Dinner At This Place? It Has Three Exits.'

I Can't Say I Prefer Blondes, Brunettes, Or Redheads. I Like Emotion And Elegance. Even Expensive Clothes Do Not Guarantee A Good Look. You Must Be Yourself Above All!

I Didn't Want To Get Stuck In Pretty, Public School Roles, Or I Knew I'd End Up As Some Sort Of Caricature.

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

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.

You Have This Weird Thing Where You End Up Trying To Fight Against This Faceless Blob, Where The More You Hate It, The Bigger It Gets, Because It's All In Your Head.

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.

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.

I Went To One Of These Signing Conventions. It Was One Of The Most Interesting Experiences I've Had. It Was So Strange That People Would Pay For Autographs. You Keep Thinking You Should Do A Little Dance For Them As Well Or Something.

I Did This Movie About Salvador Dali A Few Years Ago And Had Hair Extensions And A Little Bob. That Was Incredibly Bizarre.

[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.

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've Never Met Anyone Who's Left A Comment On Anything. It's Just Demons Who Live In Basements.

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.

It's Hard For Them Because They Want To Be Proud Of Me, But I Keep Reminding Them That It's All Luck. Luck Is What Got Me Here, Nothing Else.

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 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.

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.

Frankly, I Have No Sex Appeal. Just Strolling In Los Angeles, London, Or Paris, You Will Find A Bunch Of Young Guys Like Me. I Am Not James Dean.

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 Like The Story About Me Being Pregnant. It Was In Some Australian Magazine, On The Front Page! I Was Like, 'wow, That's Just [insane].' And It's Not Even Ironic. I Don't Even Think The Article [tried To Justify It]; It Was Just A Headline. The Article Was Just Like, Nothing.

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

I Think Betty White Is One Of The Sexiest Women In America.

I Wanted To Play Piano In Restaurants In The South Of France. I Went There On Holiday Once And I Saw This Guy Playing In An Old Tuxedo. He Was All Disheveled, With A Whisky Glass On The Piano. I Thought That Was The Coolest Thing. So What's Happened To Me With 'twilight' Isn't Really What I'd Planned.

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.

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.

I Liked A Lot Of Tyler's Character, The Rebelliousness And Audaciousness Of It, It's Like A Fantasy Of Myself, Like Yeah, I'm The Kind Of Guy Who Just Randomly Gets In Fights. Yeah, I Do It All The Time. But, Not Really.

Sometimes I Think I Look Like I've Had Facial Reconstructive Surgery. Like After Burns.

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

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.

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

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 Actually Think Being Involved In The Cesarean Would Be... I Just Can't Wait!

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

You Feel Quite Strangely Secure [doing Any Kind Of Series]. It's The Opposite Of How You're Supposed To Feel Doing A Movie.

My Ideal Of Manliness Is To Be Incapable Of Doing Anything

I Haven't Found One Place In The World Yet Where I Could Disappear.

I'm Always Really Worried About Ruining Their Lives. Especially With People That Aren't Famous. It's Such A Massive Change. I'm Kind Of A Paranoid Wreck. I've Eaten A Lot Of Room Service.

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.

I Got Expelled From My School When I Was 12; I Was Quite Bad!

My Dad Said To Me The Other Day, I Really Am An Artistic Person. I Was Shocked As I Never Saw Him As A Creative. I Think Me And My Sisters Are Living Out That Side Of Him As My Sister Is Another Creative Person, She's A Songwriter.

My Dad Says He Likes To Bask In My Glow.

The Golden Globes Are Always Fun Because Everyone's Drinking.

I Don't Know Much About Contemporary Music. I Do Have An Ipod But I Listen To A Lot Of Old Blues. I Listen To John Lee Hooker And Elmore James. I Have Been Listening To Them For Years. I Was Obsessed With Van Morrison For Years. I Went To See Him Recently Where He Performed Astral Weeks. I Just Spent The Entire Night Crying, But I Was Really Obsessed With Van Morrison.

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.

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.

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?

There Is A Price, Which You Have To Pay. You Are 24 Hours On The Job, If You Go Out In Public.

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 Think 26 Is The Turning Point. I’ve Got To Make Up For 10 Years Of Living Like A Degenerate. I’ve Suddenly Become Conscious Of Being Unhealthy. You’ve Spent Every Bit Of Free Time Since [the Age Of ] 15 In A Pub. And Suddenly You’re Like, ‘oh God, I Don’t Want To Be This Grey Ghost Sitting There With A Pot Belly. I’ve Got To Get It Together.

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!’

In 15 Years Or Something - I Like The Idea Of Just One Paparazzo Coming Out And Trying To Get A Picture, And I Just Beat The Shit Out Of Him. I Mean - Out Of Nowhere - When My Picture's Not Even Worth...and I've Spent All My Money, So You Can't Sue Me!

With Eclipse, I Felt Like I Was Doing A Completely Different Movie And A Completely Different Character. So, Yeah, It Was Nice And Challenging.

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

I Remember When I Was A Teenager Thinking My Girlfriend Was Cheating On Me, And Going Around Riling Myself Up. Pretending To Cry. It Was Totally Illegitimate-i Actually Didn't Feel Anything. I Went To Some Pub And Then Went Crying All The Way Home. And I Got Into My Dog's Bed. I Was Crying And Holding On To The Dog. I Woke Up In The Morning, And The Dog Was Looking At Me Like, 'you're A Fake.'

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.

So I Know Where My Feet Are.

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. If You Don't Know What The Story Is By Now, Then You've Probably Never Been To The Cinema Before. How About, "why Not Go To The Cinema For Once?" I Don't Know.

I Don't Know [what Things Are Forever]. Friendship. I Can Think Of Lots Of Things.

I Was Only Given This Life Because I'm Strong Enough To Live It.

I Think Someone Follows Me. They Do The Most Random Stuff. I Get A Photo Taken Through A Burger Drive-through Window And It's Like, 'what?'. They Always Seem Like They're Six Feet Away. I Don't Understand. I'm Walking Around And I Don't See Anybody.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

I Have Very, Very Low Expenditures, But Still I Manage To Spend It All. I Guess Hot Pockets Are More Expensive Than I Thought.

I'm Trying To Make Something Every Time That Feels New And Surprises People. Hopefully At Least One Person. But It's Not Like I Turn It Off. I Don't Make A Movie And Then Go Back To My Normal Life. When I'm Finishing One Movie The Next Day I'm Thinking About The Next One.

I Remember, With The Third [twilight] Movie, When We Went To Munich And The Entire Olympic Stadium Was Filled With Fans. We Walked In There And Did Nothing.

I Don't Know How Many More Of These Awards I Can Come Up For Because I Think A Little Bit Is Coming Out Of My Pants Right Now.

I Have Been Playing The Piano For My Entire Life - Since I Was Three.

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.

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 Think It's Such A Risky Thing Doing Interviews. I Try To Limit The Amount Of Interviews That I Do Because No One Is That Interesting Especially When You're Not Really Saying Anything. And I Don't Particularly Want To Be An Character In Society Or Whatever.

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 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.

I've Said, I Think Since The Second One [part Of Twilight Saga ], That It's Going To Take 10 Years To Really Settle In My Brain, And I'm Four Years Into It.

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

I Was Just Taking Out My Trash And I Had, Like, 300 Cans Of Diet Coke. It Was Just Like, 'how Did That Happen?' I Don't Even Remember Buying Them. I Also Like Cinnamon Toast Crunch. My Addictions Are Pretty Much The Only Things I Consume.

If I Had Known That This Movie Would Bring So Much Craziness, I Don't Know If I Would Have Said 'yes' To The Twilight Saga. I Never Asked To Be A Poster-boy.

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

One Of The Interesting Things About Having An International Fanbase Is That Every Single Country Has A Different Reaction To You And To The Movie.

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.

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. It's Completely Bizarre. Everybody Would Ask: 'where Are You From?' And I Would Say, 'oh, I'm From London.'

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 Don't Really Like Watching My Stuff. It Makes Me Feel Sick. You Imagine You Look A Certain Way In Your Head, And When It Looks Even The Slightest Bit Different From What You Imagine, You Go, 'rubbish!'

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.

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'm Really Afraid Of Getting Hit By Cars, Like Terrified Of It. I`m Terrified Of Crossing Streets. I'm Also Very Accident-prone...i Think People Aim For Me.

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'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.

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.

Whenever I Have To Do Anything Fan-related There's Always A Whole Bunch Of People. My Brain Kind Of Shuts Down When There Are Loads Of People Screaming At Me. I'm Not Thinking At All So I Can't Really Remember What's Happened Immediately Afterwards.

On One Occasion I Got This Really Bizarre Horoscope Thing From Someone. It Was A Full-on Zodiac Reading, Charting And Intersecting All This Stuff. It Was Over 20 Pages Long And Said We're Destined To Be Together. That Was Totally Bizarre. I Don't Really Believe In That Stuff Anyway, Although I Do Believe In Karma Because It's Already Bitten Me On The Ass So Many Times.

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.

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.

In America There Is A Channel Called Trutv Which Is Just Reruns Of 'cops' And 'world's Dumbest Criminals'. I Could Watch That The Entire Day.

There Are Too Many Possibilities, If You Can't Die. If You're Playing A Normal Human Being, There's Always That.

I’m, Like, A Compulsive Eater. I’m Going To Be So Fat When I’m Older, It’s Ridiculous.

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

I'm Trying To Sign Up And Do Movies That I'll Be Proud Of It. That's Kind Of How I Think About It.

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.'

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.

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.

Outside Of My Family, I Don't Really Know. They're Great People And My Parents Are Great Parents, And They Brought Me Up Very Well, I Think. I Don't Know, I Think That's About All The Heroes I've Had.

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.

It's Not Necessarily That Satisfying Getting Monetary Success, But Sometimes It Keeps The Door Open To Make What You Want To Make.

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

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.

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.

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

I Don't Think Anyone Can Understand What's Happening. Something Like This Is So Rare. It's A Mix Of Chance And Coincidence. You Wake Up One Day And You're Suddenly A Star.. Really Weird. All Of A Sudden Everyone Knows Who You Are While You Haven't Changed One Bit

People Were Asking Me How I'd Feel When It All Ends, On The First Movie [of The Twilight Saga], 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 Think Pretty Much All People Who Love Each Other Had Some Kind Of Thing At First Sight. I Mean, There Has To Be Some Kind Of Moment Where You, Like, Feel A Different Energy Around Someone.

In Some Ways I Would Like To Be Like Tyler, My Character In The Film.

I Have To Look Over My Shoulder All The Time, Be Really Vigilant Because At Any Moment, Someone Could Be Filming Me Or Recording What I'm Saying.

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 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.

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.

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.

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 Don't Really Understand It Even Now, It Does Have An Angle Which Is Attached To Something Quite Primal In Girls. I Guess People Want It To Define Them, Like 'i'm A Twilight Fan.' That's Crazy To Me. I Think People Really Just Like Being Part Of A Crowd. There's Something Just Tremendously Exciting About Hyping Yourself Up To That Level.

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

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.

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

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.

People Will Know You For Whatever They Want To Know You For.

I Really Like Blade. I Wish People Would Make Hard R-rated Fantasy Movies Again. It's Completely Irrelevant, But People Should Do That More. I Haven't Seen That Many Vampire Things.

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

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.

Never Trust A Guy Who Plucks His Eyebrows.

It's Supposed To Feel Totally Foreign [to Play In A Series], Every Single Time. But, Going Back For Another Go At It Is Good, On The One Hand, But It's Also Bad, On Another Hand, Because Your Ideas Dry Up Sometimes, And Also You Get Lazy Sometimes Because You're Around The Same People.

Girls, You Know It's All Just A Game To Them, Relationships. Just Go Around Stomping On Everyone.... I Mean, Look At This Poor Guy In The Background With His Collar Up. You Know He's Just Gonna Get Ruined By Women.

If You're Happy All Of The Time, It's Difficult To Acknowledge When You Actually Are Happy.

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

The First Period Of Getting Famous Was Incredibly Strange To Me And Really Fun At The Beginning Because You Didn't Realise The Consequences Of Anything. You Could Say Or Do Whatever You Wanted And It Just Didn't Matter.

To Be Honest, Everyone Thinks That A Digital Camera Is More Reliable And Every Single Time I Work On Any Movie, It's Just As Many Problems, The Memory Card Doesn't Work Or Blah Blah Blah, It Overheats; It's The Same Volume As Another Camera. I Think People Are Bit Taken In By It.

Music Means Freedom To Me. But In Acting You Can Pretend To Be Someone Else And I Like That.
