My parents were really, really cool about supporting what I

My parents were really, really cool about supporting what I wanted to do at a really young age. I think I was about 10 when I caught the bug.

When I get recognized for 'Twilight,' it's usually a teenage

When I get recognized for 'Twilight,' it's usually a teenage girl, and they're usually really loud. So it certainly feels like I get recognized the most from that, but it could just be because of the nature of how vocal those fans are.
