Contact lenses make me miserable, as soon as I put them in. That's what creates the pouting and brooding character.

I don't know how people will remember this series [of the Twilight Saga] at all. It's crazy how intense people are.

It's easy to get stagnate, if you play the same character. In New Moon, I felt like I was going a little bit deeper.

I went to do my first big movie when I was 17. I was in South Africa for three and half months, and I was by myself.

Sometimes I think, 'To hell with acting' and then I realize I could be working at a shoe shop. Acting is much cooler.

I used to be able to be in England and just be fine. No one had any idea who I was.I get a lot more abuse in England.

It’s funny now, trying to socialise with people. There’s this cautiousness about people which I just find really weird.

I never thought people would buy the soundtrack [to Twilight]. So, it's a little more nerve-wracking now. I don't know.

I'm afraid of buying a house or anything, 'cause if there's one paparazzi outside for one day, then they'll never leave.

I always think everything is going to be my last job so every single day is a gift. This whole life is an accident for me.

It makes me feel like working non-stop: at least, on sets, the level of security gives me a bit of privacy. It's a relief.

I prefer to be someone who has to confront his many fears instead of someone who has the illusion he doesn't fear anything

You feel quite strangely secure [doing any kind of series]. It's the opposite of how you're supposed to feel doing a movie.

I did this movie about Salvador Dali a few years ago and had hair extensions and a little bob. That was incredibly bizarre.

In a lot of ways, I was kind of crossing lines of what I thought I was comfortable doing. I had to do all this naked stuff.

If you took away publicists and things and people spoke for themselves, then they'd have to be responsible for their words.

I don't really see the point in washing your hair. If you don't care if your hair's clean or not then why would you wash it?

I have very, very low expenditures, but still I manage to spend it all. I guess Hot Pockets are more expensive than I thought.

You can put a dog in a scene and everyone's going to be better, I guarantee it. And if they're not better, just shoot the dog.

You can make five massive hits in a row and still not get cast by the directors who you want to work with doing little movies.

I don't know how many more of these awards I can come up for because I think a little bit is coming out of my pants right now.

I never set out to achieve anything, certainly not fame like this,I still have to deal with how to actually make my life work.

A 17-year-old girl in Australia hacked into my e-mail while I was on it, Then a 15-year-old girl in England did the same thing.

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.

Start drinking vodka instead of beer, and try to get a six-pack as early as possible and you'll be a much more successful actor.

It's not necessarily that satisfying getting monetary success, but sometimes it keeps the door open to make what you want to make.

Looking scary with a baseball outfit on and a little bouffant, you know, it just does not work. Especially with sculpted eyebrows.

I don't want people to hate me. I basically do whatever I want. But one of the aspects of what I want is, I want people to like me!

I am a big fan of music and clothing style of the 1960s. Whether in England or the United States, I like everything from that time.

Someone stole my shoelaces once from my shoes. I still wear them and never put laces in them - they're like my trademark shoes now!

I don't find myself that interesting as a human being, so I don't really think that much of what I say or do warrants being recorded.

I'm curious to see what happens in England because in all this madness I think I can always go home to England and it'll all turn off.

Just last year I couldn't even get a date, and then this year… it's so bizarre that everybody just changes their mind at the same time.

What worries me the most is that I don't know when my patience will run out, when I'll finally do something really stupid. Wait and see.

I get a lot more abuse in England. That's just a general English attitude. I did the same thing to famous people. It's just your instinct.

When I was flying to Rome, we flew over London; I felt like bursting into tears. It's part of me, so I can't leave London behind for good.

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.

In America there is a channel called TruTV which is just reruns of 'Cops' and 'World's Dumbest Criminals'. I could watch that the entire day.

It's hard for them because they want to be proud of me, but I keep reminding them that it's all luck. Luck is what got me here, nothing else.

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 hate people who cry around me. I'm not friends with them anymore. Especially girls. Cuz girls are crying all the time. It's like, 'Shut up.'

If I could get any semblance of - it's not really anonymity, but a little bit more - control over my public image, I guess that would be nice.

With Eclipse, I felt like I was doing a completely different movie and a completely different character. So, yeah, it was nice and challenging.

I had pecs for about two days. Everyone would hate me. Just look at me walking around with my little peacoat on. My little customized pea coat.

I wasn't at all focused on school, and I didn't achieve much. But I've got a sense of urgency now. I feel I can't let any more time waste away.

My biggest problem in my life is I'm cheap and I didn't hire a publicist. In every awkward interview, normally actors get these things scripted.

I started doing a paper round when I was about 10. I started earning $10 a week and then I was obsessed with earning money until I was about 15.

I hope there is such a thing. I guess it would be quite scary to find a soul mate when you're young because you're probably going to mess it up.

Frankly, I have no sex appeal. Just strolling in Los Angeles, London, or Paris, you will find a bunch of young guys like me. I am not James Dean.

I have to look over my shoulder all the time, be really vigilant because at any moment, someone could be filming me or recording what I'm saying.
