I play characters that are pretty; I play characters that are sort of intimidating and confident, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that I’m that. – Nikki Reed
At the end of the day, that’s our sole purpose and our sole reason for existing, is to love somebody else. – Nikki Reed
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. – Nikki Reed
What is important is to treat everyone like an individual and learning not to generalize autism. With autism, people make assumptions, but it’s very broad, and everyone’s so different. You have to treat each person as an individual. – Nikki Reed
My mom can’t defend herself to the world. She is such an amazing woman, with such an open heart. It’s a real hard line, and I crossed it. I took everyone’s life story and assumed it would be a great thing to put on screen. I was being selfish and I feel so horrible about it. I feel so guilty. – Nikki Reed
Junior high is so much worse than high school because at least in high school different is more accepted, celebrated actually: all the girls with blue hair and gothic Hello Kitty backpacks. – Nikki Reed
I try to think of food like fuel. I don’t look at calories; I just look at ingredients. If my body were an engine, what would make it run? What would make it perform at its highest level? – Nikki Reed
I’m really diligent; I have a really militant side of my personality that comes out in areas of work. I’m very motivated, you know? – Nikki Reed

Being an actor, you have to be working even when you’re not working. You never really get to relax because anytime you’re relaxing in between jobs, you’re just worried that you’re not going to get another job. – Nikki Reed
I have great respect for actors like Jodie Foster and Natalie Portman who went to school the entire time they were acting. All I did was one small little independent film, and I realised I couldn’t balance both lives. – Nikki Reed
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. – Nikki Reed
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. – Nikki Reed
I never skipped a meal. I can’t even recall a time when I’ve skipped a meal. I never understand when people say ‘I’m so busy, I forgot to eat today.’ It’s never happened. I always find time! – Nikki Reed
People send everyone hate mail. That’s the way the world works right now, I’m nothing special. – Nikki Reed
Right now I’m in ‘Twilight’ and I go around to signings and there are people screaming and crying, and it’s so surreal. I know that when this is over in a month or two and whenever ‘Twilight’s no longer relevant, that doesn’t live on for me. It’s because of this. It’s not very often that this happens for people. – Nikki Reed
