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.

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 s- 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!

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

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.

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 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.
