I rarely get recognised. It's always a shock when someone notices me. I always think they must be confusing me with someone else.
There have definitely been more than a few moments in my life where I'm wondering where the next paycheck will come from and how I'm gonna pay rent.
I started auditioning when I was about 10 and I didn't get my first job until I was 12, and two years at that age is really hard.
Sometimes the best part of my day is imagining what I'm gonna eat when I get off work.
If you tell a guy you don't like being tickled and he tickles you anyway, that's a red flag.
I'm the person who wouldn't send back my food even if I got steak when I'd ordered fish.
Humility was an important part of the way I grew up. And I found that to be less common when I moved to California. That's not to say humble people don't exist there, but ambition seems really important.
I had a confusing relationship with my Barbies, but I love trolls. I tortured my Barbies.
I feel like if it's not scaring you, you're doing it wrong.
My goal all along has just been to work and support myself. I've been really lucky to walk away from the 'Twilight' series unscathed. Somebody asked me recently what it's like to be a star. I thought that was the strangest question. If you saw my day-to-day life, the word 'star' just doesn't apply.
I stole comic books from my brother when I was a kid, but I was never like an avid fan. I can't claim to be like a comic book geek.
I was at awards shows and felt really lost so it was good to play someone who was really lost.
You can relax more when you're playing a silly character than when you're playing a really rigid character. But to be fair, I think George Clooney is a bigger teenager than any of the 'Twilight' cast. He's the guy throwing a football at your head and then hiding around the corner, pretending it wasn't him!
I guess as long as people think of me for different ages, I'll trust their opinion. I remember noticing one year that Michelle Monaghan played 34 and 19, so I've kind of clung to that as my justification that I can be Jake Gyllenhaal's wife and a freshman in college in the same year.
