I worked with and became close with these characters [in Twilight] and the people who are portraying them and it's kind of, I think, a safety net that we had, and it's going to be kind of strange not going back to set with these people that I've become so familiar with.

I'm very much a girl that likes to have options. That's the way I am with fashion, and that's the way I am with my life.

I think it's better that life is kind of like a mystery, I think that's what drives us.

I am certainly not perfect. I don't think you should try to be perfect for anyone. When you come to terms with that, then you're OK.

I think my mom gets weirded out, sometimes, by people knowing so much about me or people always asking questions.

I live a dual life. On the red carpet, it's complete glam. But at home, I'm a jeans and T-shirt kind of girl. Simple can be beautiful.

But I don't do the diet thing anymore. I'm a big believer in feeding your body what it needs. Deny yourself something and you're going to end up shoving your face full of it.

I focus on having a feminine body, a dancer's body. I do resistance and dance and cardio. I like hiking, swimming, being active. It clears your mind and it's a good way to decompress.

But as far as the fame goes, my parents make sure they keep me grounded, for sure. They make me wash dishes still.

I have a very classic take on fashion. I like my accessories to pop, but in general, my style is pretty classic.

Don't throw petals on the floor if they have no meaning. I would rather have a fun, casual relationship than have someone pretending they're completely in love with me.

I feel most beautiful at night, when I take my makeup off and it's just me.

We are so used to not having kids around [on Twilight] that we had to really make an effort to try and edit our language.

Hollywood is so small that everyone has either worked with someone or knows someone who knows someone and so it was kind of easy and fun. And I think there's something exciting about being, like, "Hey! Welcome to the set!" and making everyone feel welcome, and making it fun, 'cause everybody knows what it's like to be the new kid.

You need someone who is going to help you make that better version of yourself.

I was really, really, really nervous when I got this role because I did feel it was important to make Alice [Cullen] just as lovable as I read her being on paper and, kind of, full of vitality. In my head she is just this light and breath of fresh air in very dramatic settings - because I feel like we're always extremely dramatic in this film. I wanted people to be able to relate to her.

My mom is really great with me and for me, because I think she makes an effort to make sure there is some normalcy in my life, and her and my dad don't really treat me any differently.

I think with vampires, you can't really go wrong. For generations, vampires have been a hit because they're unobtainable, mysterious, sensual, dangerous, kind of sexy.

I want to play a role of a 24-year-old woman, not 17-year-old girls. So I have picked a couple of films like 'Butter' to show that. And it's perfectly fine not to do anything for a year if I don't find the right thing.

You know, my brother won't walk out of a restaurant with me anymore because he doesn't want to be linked to me as my new 'mystery man.' Same with my close guy friends.

Except, I think, it's more about me growing up and becoming an adult that I have this new best-friend type of relationship with my mom.
