Quotes

“There’s a parallel to playing someone who’s not exactly human
and living a life that doesn’t always feel human here in Hollywood.
This is all fantasyland.” -Nikki from Marie Claire magazine

“I’ve kind of always been told – though I don’t know what it means,
really – that I'm an old soul." -Nikki

“It’s not that I don’t want to be an actor; it’s that I don’t just want to be an actor,
It’s that I want to do more, because I can. Not that it’s available to me but that I
know in my mind that I could. I guess that’s sort of what it is.” -Nikki

"[Nikki's] biggest struggle was between her and her mom, but she and her
mom were past that point when I came in. I missed the toughest stuff."
-Catherine Hardwicke on Nikki's past

"I don’t even have words to really describe how much Kristen Stewart means to me.
It’s bizarre. I’ve never met anybody that has her wisdom and maturity,
at such a young age." -Nikki

"The number-one rule of writing is write what you know--or something like that.
So I wrote about my experiences." -Nikki

"I was a really big advocate to get something from Rob on. I have a big musical
connection with Rob. Just for the sake of it I'm not going to say where he plays,
but they are just little shows and he plays for us. He's amazing. Jackson Rathbone
is amazing as well. I play a little guitar, but I'm not as good as Rob is."
-Nikki asked about Twilight Soundtrack

"I wish people could think I was funny. I think I’m funny. In my circle of friends,
people would say that I’m the comedian." -Nikki

"Kristen and I had a very natural progression to our friendship. She was in
rehearsal on her own a lot, as was I, but we became very close over the
months and now I’m like a part of her family." -Nikki

"Everything that she is and is continuing to do, I aspire to be and do
one day. Hopefully I'll follow in those footsteps." Nikki talking about Catherine

“I didn’t really have much of a childhood, I never really had a normal group
of friends.” -Nikki

“Maybe it’s because of Dogtown, but I have more of a bohemian style.
My wardrobe consists of like two pairs of plain jeans and white and
black wifebeaters." -Nikki

"To be honest, I hadn’t read the books before I was part of the film, but my
little brother was reading them. This is the first film I’ve done that he is
actually excited about!" -Nikki on Twilight

"I want a long lasting career and I want to produce, direct, write. I want
to be able to do what I want to do." Nikki in Venice magazine

"Rob and I went to see Kings of Leon and they were really good.
He's gotten me interested in that whole world, Van Morrison too.
I went and saw The Raconteurs with him as well. Oh, and Aretha Franklin!
I like a lot of old Bluesy singers." -Nikki

"Writing the screenplay wasn't exciting, it was painful"
-Nikki on Thirteen

"I do have a wonderful social life actually. I stick to my core group of
friends here. No, I'm definitely not like miss social butterfly
and at every party but you know, I did that, so I chose to
live an adult life." -Nikki

"Nikki Reed and I became really, really good friends.
She's really smart and funny. And we have a new movie
that we're working on together." -Kristen Stewart on Nikki

“She’s like my mentor – we talk all the time.” -Nikki on Holly Hunter

"I grew up in a very relaxed environment in one sense, without many rules.
My mother had a problem knowing where to draw the line, which
caused a chaotic and hectic home life." -Nikki

"She would wake up at 4:30 a.m. and spend two hours on her hair and makeup
... because she wanted to fit in with the cool girls. She didn't care much
about anything else." -Catherine Hardwicke about Nikki

"....I don't speak to my OC buddies as much anymore, but I'm VERY close
to some of my Twilight costars. Kristen and I are best of buds-she's one of
the most amazing people in my life..." -Nikki
