“I don’t want any special powers. I’m powerless. I wouldn’t want to see into the future, I wouldn’t want to know what anyone was thinking, ever! And I don’t want to relive my past.”

I’m just a believer in keeping all of the creative brain cells moving and working even when you’re not working because the inevitable loneliness and boring drought in the actor’s world, it can eat you alive.

When you’re playing a character in a book, there’s already a lot of pressure because all of the millions of people who have read the series have been able to envision and become very attached to the characters.

Before ‘Twilight,’ occasionally I would get the ‘Hey are you that girl from that movie?’ but no one knew my first and last name. The fans of the saga are amazing, and it’s very flattering.

I think so many young girls get caught up in the challenge of being with somebody who’s dangerous, who’s bad, who’s enticing, who’s all of those things, and you forget what it’s like to enjoy simple love.

I definitely think that females have a harder time. It’s a lot harder to be a girl because you’re always in your head. I’ve heard my brother go and take it out on the football as he says. Whereas girls would rather sit down and over think things.

I have a mother who allowed me to take in anything and everything that needed food, a bath, or a forever home, which resulted in a home that was always filled with warmth and love regardless of any other struggles we were presented with.

I think we learn some of the greatest lessons in life from animals, whether it’s love, suffering, or the value of silence.

People send everyone hate mail. That’s the way the world works right now, I’m nothing special.

With girls, friendships are hard because you have to learn to get to a maturity level to love them but not want to be them.

Having people wait outside of my house sort of gives me a panic attack. I’m a believer in the concept that people should not be followed and photographed everywhere.

I’ve always loved music and felt connected to it, but was too afraid to explore that avenue.

Young people need to vote. They need to get out there. Every vote counts. Educate yourself too. Don’t just vote. Know what you’re voting for, and stand by that.

My little brother is autistic, so I would love to be involved in a charity for autism, but I haven’t found the right one yet.

We live in a world where sort of nothing is shocking anymore.

Part of being young is making mistakes.

Drama sells more than the truth.

The hard work of the future will be pushing buttons.

For me it was never about money, but solving problems for the future of humanity.

The doctor of the future will give no medication, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, diet and in the cause and prevention of disease.

It is not for us to forecast the future, but to shape it.

You are a success when you have made friends with your past, are focused on the present, and are optimistic about your future

If time travel is possible, where are the tourists from the future?

The future will show whether my foresight is as accurate now as it has proved heretofore.

If you think about the long term then you can really make good life decisions that you won’t regret later.
