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 believe in the saying, ‘If you aim at nothing, you’re going to hit nothing.’ So if you don’t set goals, then you have nowhere to go.
At one point I had to shove as much food in my body as possible to pack on calories. My trainer wanted me to do six meals a day and not go two hours without eating. If I would cheat on eating one day, I could tell – I’d drop a few pounds.
If I had to choose, I would never take my shirt off again in a movie, but I guess that’s not very realistic. I certainly won’t be asking to do it, though.
The day I finished ‘Twilight,’ I came home and started bulking up. For ‘New Moon,’ I’m 30 pounds heavier than I was in ‘Twilight.’
I get nervous before everything – dates, filming, awards shows.
I’ve never been in a love triangle. I would not want to be in that situation.
I don’t want to become known as just a body.
I have had someone ask me to sign their ‘Team Taylor’ panties. She wasn’t a teenager. She was in her 40s.
I was exercising so hard that I began to lose weight.
I was not a vampire or werewolf fan at all. I’d never even heard of the series. I auditioned for the role, and as soon as I got it, I started reading the books. I’m not a reader, but I really did get hooked on them.
I still help out with the garbage. I still help out with the lawn.
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.
Boxing is so loose and flowy, and martial arts is more stiff, and about strength and structure.
I love action films. I’d love to do an action drama. I’m always looking to give my character something action-oriented to do.
Playing hard to get is not the way to win me over. I’m definitely more for the girl who can smile and laugh all the time and just have a good time!
My parents are pretty good about keeping me humble. They brought me up good.
There’s no ex out there who I’m not friends with today, and I’m extremely thankful for that.
Some of the actors that I love most have challenged themselves throughout their entire career. That’s my goal.
Probably the people around me and the people I care about. They are my motivation. That’s probably what drives me to succeed. Family and friends.
If I love the character and if I love the story, and the character requires me to be shirtless, or if it requires me to lose 30 pounds, I’m ready to do it.
