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
