I don't look at rushes, or I don't go to the dailies. I don't even really look at playback... unless it's an action scene or a move that I need to do better, something like that.

I think it's important that we have strong, female characters in movies now, which can really leave an impression on people - especially young people - and that they're not 'sexy' or 'cool.'

It's very intimate. There are certain moments where it feels like it's just you and the lens. It's something that has been a very stable, consistent thing in my life.

I’ve always wanted to act and I grew up a little on film sets when my dad was working as an actor.

I don’t mind doing the whole red carpet thing when I have to when it comes to publicizing a movie. But besides that, I don’t like those kinds of things at all. Celebrity status is not really something that appeals to me.

There’s so many modern films where the fans take one side or the other. I’m hoping this isn’t going to be like that; I’m hoping it isn’t that kind of film at all. What I would love for the audience to take from it is to understand why she was so stuck in the middle and confused.

I’ve never really felt like I was a child actor. Just an actor who happened to be quite young.

That’s what acting is. You’re pretending to be someone else.

I think ‘Twilight’ was such a phenomenon that it will be awhile before anything like that will happen again. Cause it really influenced pop culture, and the stars of it – well, the people who became stars out of it – their lives were completely changed.

I know most of the photographers in Ireland. And if I don’t want my photograph taken, they will leave me alone.
