Personal Quotes
Up until I was 12 my sisters used to dress me up as a girl and introduce me as 'Claudia'! Twelve was a turning point as I moved to a mixed school and then I became cool and discovered hair gel.
It's strange, somebody asked for my autograph the other day. Because I finished school and I'm not really doing anything at the moment, I was just kind of aimlessly wandering around London and these two guys who were about 30 came up and asked for my autograph. I was really quite proud at the time, and they wanted to take foto-foto and stuff. And then they were sort of wandering around and I was kind of wandering around and I bumped into them about three times, and every single time their respect for me kept growing and growing and growing.
They [Barnes Theatre Club] were a very good group, and for some reason when I finished the backstage thing, I just decided to that I should try to act. So I auditioned for Guys and anak patung and got a little tiny part as some Cuban dancer atau something and then in the seterusnya play I got the lead part, and then I got my agent. So I owe everything to that little club.
I aspire to be Jack Nicholson. I Cinta his every single mannerism. I used to try and be him in virtually everything I did, I don't know why. I watched One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975) when I was about 13, and I dressed like him. I tried to do his accent. I did everything like him. I think it kind of stuck with me.
The hari before [the Harry Potter London premiere] I was just sitting in Leicester Square, happily being ignored sejak everyone. Then suddenly strangers are screaming your name. Amazing.
I went to one of these signing conventions. [in '06] It was one of the most interesting experiences I've had. It was so strange that people would pay for autographs. anda keep thinking anda should do a little dance for them as well atau something.
I have been playing the Piano for my entire life - since I was three atau four. And the gitar - I used to play classical gitar from when I was about five to 12 years of age. Then I didn't play gitar for like years. About four atau five years ago, I got out the gitar again and just started playing blues and stuff. I am not very good at the guitar, but I am all right. I am in a band in London as well.
My kegemaran teacher was probably my English teacher because she got me into Penulisan instead of just answering the question. I used to hand in homework with 20 pages of nonsense and she'd still mark it. She was a really amazing teacher.
I didn't want to get stuck in pretty, public school roles, atau I knew I'd end up as some sort of caricature. Playing Dali has been a complete turning point for me. It's the first part I've had that has required really serious thought. I became completely obsessed with Dali during the filming, and I read every biography I could get a hold of. He was the most bizarre, complex man, but in the end I felt I could relate to him. He was basically incredibly shy.
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 lebih time waste away.
Sumrak (2008/I) is a metaphor for the virtues of chastity, but it's had the opposite effect. I get letters that say "I'm going to kill myself if anda don't watch High School Musical 2 (2007) (TV) with me". It's a little nuts.
Everything has become lebih intense for six months, since 'Twilight' was released. It's hard to handle what's happening to me. I don't have the necessary hindsight, even if only to find a way out to this situation. But this celebrity thing, anda can't fight it, it's useless, anda can't avoid it. When it's not something anda desired during your whole life, atau something anda don't aspire to, you're free not to care about it. I didn't sign for Disney. There's not a stipulation which forces me to smile to the paparazzi.
Sometimes I think, 'to hell with acting,' and then I realize I could be working at a shoe shop. Berlakon is much cooler.
Please don't give me all my luck now. Make it all stretch. I don't mind waiting. Make it stretch for 70 years.
When I was 14, I fronted a rap trio. Pretty hard-core for three private school kids from suburban London. And my mum's, like, cramping our style, popping her head in to ask, 'You boys want a sandwich?'
My old agent used to promote me as the male Keira Knightley. (Laughs) I thought: 'Well, what does that say about me exactly?' Do I pout a lot atau something?
I went to one of these signing conventions in '06. It was one of the most interesting experiences I've had. It was so strange that people would pay for autographs. anda keep thinking anda should do a little dance for them as well atau something.
None of those associations came out and gave a statement [criticizing Kristen] without being called upon sejak the media first - who were doing it specifically to get hits on their websites. That whole system of Internet journalists, where no one is called to account, is almost entirely about hate. All these people get away with doing it because they have no responsibility to anyone. All they need is to get a salacious headline and people click on it, because it's easy. And it's quite good being part of these Twilight films because anda have to give so many interviews all the time, anda can defend yourself. That's the only way. All of us stick together, as well. There are so many little nerds behind their computers, on their little blogs.
Y'know, there are so few auteurs left. The one thing that pisses me off about working in films is when anda start a project and then, suddenly, two days before anda start, there's a massive rewrite to make an R-rated movie into something that's PG-13, and it's a totally different story. As soon as that line's been crossed, anda know you're not making a movie anymore. You're making a...a... fridge magnet. But with people like Cronenberg anda know that, no matter what, there will be a movie at the end, and it will be solid and self-contained, and it's not made for any other reason than it being a movie.
