When I’m challenged, I grow. I never want to be in a situation where I’m not challenged and not afraid. One of my favorite feelings is stepping into a film and knowing that I’m a little bit afraid of what I have to accomplish. – Nikki Reed
People think that saving the planet or finding their place in that effort is a really overwhelming thought. – Nikki Reed
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. – Nikki Reed
My mom and I would make bracelets and necklaces, and I would sell it in the first, second, and third grades because that was my lunch money. – Nikki Reed
The great thing about Adele is if you put her on top volume, you actually sound like her while you’re singing. – Nikki Reed
If I can have the opportunity to go into an editing room, it’s like the golden ticket for me. All I want is to learn about everything else in the filmmaking process. I just directed a music video which just came out and that’d sort of be the area of the field that I’m going to move into, I hope. – Nikki Reed
My brother and I have matching tattoos on our arms. It says, ‘Humility is strength,’ in Portuguese and Italian, because my genius brother taught English in both Italy and Brazil. – Nikki Reed
Young people are fascinated with the idea of love, maybe because they haven’t experienced it. The older you get, the more jaded you become with this, like, mystical love thing. It’s not as exciting because it’s not unknown. – Nikki Reed
Polynesian women are known for their long hair, glowing skin, and thick nails. And that comes from the local diet, which is mostly plant based with a little bit of fish and a lot of natural fats and oils. – Nikki Reed
My name is not big enough for people to go, ‘Let me throw money at you because you’re so famous!’ – Nikki Reed
I love to write what I see and what I do and what I experience, and I like to see if people can relate to that. I don’t know if I am as good at making up a story in my head that has no truth to it, so that is a challenge for me. – Nikki Reed
I’m really into the Tom Ford lipsticks. I was always afraid to wear lip color because I thought it made me look too masculine, but my makeup artist Fiona Stiles got me into wearing coral, orange-y colors from his line, and now I wear lipstick all of the time. – Nikki Reed
While most people turn 21 and decide to go out and party, I turned 21 and decided that I was going to become somebody that I never thought I could be: somebody who cares about herself and her body, her future, and her health. – Nikki Reed
I think my mother is my biggest influence. There are so many things I hate about her but at the same time I’m thankful for her. All I know is that when I’m a parent I want to be just like my mom. I can talk to my mom more than any of my friends could talk to their parents. – Nikki Reed

I’ve always loved music and felt connected to it, but was too afraid to explore that avenue. – Nikki Reed
I have a long-standing relationship with Autism Speaks. I’ve been supporting them for many, many years now. – Nikki Reed
Coconut oil mixed with olive oil is what I put on my body every day; I put rose hip oil on my face. If my hair feels dry, instead of going and buying something filled with chemicals, I put egg whites or avocados or mayonnaise in my hair. I leave it on there for an hour or two and I wash it out. – Nikki Reed
DJ Qualls and I have been best friends for I don’t even know how long – since I was a kid, 14, 15, many, many years. – Nikki Reed
