Nobody lived my life. Nobody cried my tears. So don't judge me.

People cultivate these fully formed personalities.

Maybe I'm completely different from everyone else.

My God, I'm so in love with my boyfriend.

I went through an experience that taught me that as soon as you think that you know how your life is going to be, something in the universe will make you realize that you really are not that in control of it.

If you look at the actual movies that I've done, the whole struggle is to get to that point, so it's not something that you just have so easy . . . But it's okay. It doesn't bother me. I've done okay so far.

I've been doing things myself in the sense that I haven't had a night nurse or anything like that, so I've spent every night with baby except for the nights that I've had to travel.

I'm not sure if I'm most happy when I'm comfortable and content or when I'm pushing myself to the limits. There are such different versions of happy, and I really appreciate both.

I'm 19, and, being a public figure, I'm supposed to present myself in a certain way, but it's hard and you're never going to be able to tell people who you are through the media.

I wouldn't want to play a normal princess who always walks around in nice dresses. I never had a connection to it when I was a child, I preferred playing with plastic soldiers.

It doesn't matter if you're doing a studio movie or you're doing an independent movie. When you get to set and you're doing a scene, it's always going to be the same job.

I went to do Eclipse right after The Runaways, and I think the director of that movie might have said to another cast member that he had to beat the Joan Jett out of me.

I would have been very happy just working from job to job, paying my rent one movie at a time. I never wanted to be this famous. I never imagined this life for myself.

I'm obsessed with my cat. We have a really strong, really weird codependent, almost Bella/Edward relationship. I'm going to be a crazy cat lady one day, I'm sure.

I'm definitely never going to be a biker. I'm scared of cars so the idea of riding a motorcycle is just never going to be something that I'm into.

I've actually always been interested in following a character more long term, but the only place to really do that as an actor is on a TV series.

If you didn't have anxiety, then you wouldn't have passion for anything. The reason we have anxiety is because you care and you're thoughtful.

I'm about to play an emaciated pregnant vampire, so I've stopped using as much butter as Paula Deen - just until 'Breaking Dawn' is over.

If you're an honest person, you'll make mistakes, but it'll be okay. The most interesting things happen after making mistakes.

I'm not the type of person that just needs to feel concrete and like nothing's going to change. I revel in the change.

If you follow your heart, you're never going to regret anything, even if you completely mess up constantly.

It almost makes the secrets more important, those few things you actually do choose to keep to yourself.

I'm going to stop smoking. I'm not such a good smoker, anyway. It's not in my bones. I'm gonna drop it.

I'm just going to let people watch whatever little movie they think our lives are and go for it.

I'm not ready to get married, but I have a pretty great family and I'd like that too, someday.

If you respect yourself and you love yourself, that's the only way anybody else is going to.

I'm just not made for that kind of live audience where you don't create a fourth wall.

If you fall in love, it's because it captures you and sweeps you off your feet.

I've always had an aversion to looking sexy, but I've grown out of it.

If you are going to make something forever, you should be yourself.

Suffering is not good for the soul, unless it teaches you how to stop suffering. That is its purpose.

The imagination, backed by great expectations, can bring about almost any reality within the range of probalities.

You create your own reality

One of these days, you're going to fall in love with some guy, and you're not going to know what to do with yourself.

The dreamer dreams, and the dreamer within the dream dreams.

There seems to be no unexpressed self in animals, as if they are as fully themselves in flesh as possible, with no lag of consciousness to fill up, while we keep trying to grow into something else.

Magic is the beingness behind and within all things." Jane Roberts via Oversoul Seven's Little Book, The Charmed Life, Oversoul Seven Trilogy

True religion is not repressive, as life itself is not.

Therefore, as always, make of this voice what you choose to make of it. Make of me what you choose to make of me, but recognize within yourselves the vitality of your being. And look to no man or no idea or no woman or no dogma, but the vitality of your own being, and trust it. And that which offends your soul, turn away from, but trust yourself.

You must begin to trust yourself. If you do not then you will forever be looking to others to prove your own merit to you, and you will never be satisfied. You will always be asking others what to do, and at the same time, resenting those from whom you seek such aid.

I stand upon a block of stillness. It is more secure than any sidewalk. I bring with me my own sidewalk.

To change the world for the better, you must begin by changing your own life. There is no other way.

The God concept, of course, originated from mankind’s innate knowledge that consciousness precedes physical construction.

For enjoyment is a weapon. The man who is capable of joy is capable, to a large extent, of changing his world. Joy is not a weak spineless idiot either. Its backbone is stronger than bitterness.

Time does not cause change in matter, appearances to the contrary. I am going to skip a giant step, and say that man himself and all conscious beings produce matter subconsciously.

It is only the ego that steps from moment to moment, as a man who walks from puddle to puddle. It is only the ego who drowns in time.

Because you are obsessed with the idea of past, present, and future, you are forced to think of reincarnations as strung out one before the other. Indeed we speak of past lives because you are used to the time sequence concept... You have dominant egos, all part of an inner identity, dominant in various existences. But the separate existences exist simultaneously. Only the egos involved make the time distinction... a thousand years in your past or in your future - all exist now.

Hate is love looking for itself everyplace but where love is.

Each mental act opens up a new dimension of actuality. In a manner of speaking, your slightest thought gives birth to worlds.

By going along with feelings, you unify your emotional, mental and bodily states. When you try to fight or deny them, you divorce yourself from the reality of your being.
