I live in the present. When I finish a film, it is behind me. My reward is in my work, not in a lot of old memories.

I miss the movies. Still, I understood that my kind of movie has had its day. I thought it was over for me.

I think you tend to try, during the time you've got off, to forget about the film. It was such a total world. I mean, the sets were claustrophobic, and as soon as you were on there, you were right back into it.

I didn't go out of my way to get into this movie stuff. I think of myself as a writer.

I was a slightly melancholy child and I think films were a way of escaping for me.

Any time you make a movie where you're living in a certain head space for an extended period of time, it's tough not to take a little piece home with you.

I was working at a restaurant, I booked the role in 'Twilight,' put in my two weeks' notice, got fitted, flew to Portland, filmed, and then it started getting hype. That helped me get my foot into certain doors before the movie even came out.

I got into acting to get my foot in the door for film-making.
