Q: There a lot of ironic moments in "Eclipse." Was that something that you welcomed?
A: "Yeah, I loved it. Because when you put Edward and Jacob together, it's bound to have that sarcasm, that tension. But in the tent scene, I think the tent scene sums up the whole entire movie. It's extremely tense, these guys hate each other. But at the same time, the situation is just pretty funny."
Q: Some might say you are objectified in these movies because you are so often shirtless. Does that help you understand what it's like for women actors in films aimed at guy audiences?
A: "I just feel that all of the love going toward the ("Twilight") cast members is love going toward the characters. I mean with Megan Fox and Jessica Alba, sorry -- they're gorgeous. They just are, and they play many different characters where they're gorgeous. I'm just lucky enough to be playing Jacob, the guy that doesn't wear a shirt, and I think all of that love is going toward Jacob, not me personally."
Q: I hear you had a crazy encounter with a "Twilight" fan at an event in Australia where you were signing autographs. Can you talk about that?
A: "I get down to one (fan) who has the Wolf Pack tattoo right on her forearm. And I was like, 'Whoa that is so cool. That's the real tattoo. Is it real?" And she's like 'Yeah.' And she's like 'Can you sign it, right here?' And I was like 'Yeah, sure of course.' And I had a feeling about it, I did. And Kristen actually predicted it. Then the next day I got a call from one of my buddies asking if I signed a girl's arm, and I'm like 'Yeah, I signed a lot of girls' arms.' And he's like 'One of them got it tattooed to her arm.' And I'm like 'It was the girl with the tattoo.'"
Q: Your family moved from Michigan to the Los Angeles area to help you pursue your acting career. Did you feel any added pressure because of that?
A: "I was like 10 years-old when I moved out. I was just like, 'Yeah this is going to be fun, my family is moving to California, this is going to be great.' I didn't realize all the sacrifices they took, and everything involved in that move. Now, looking back, I'm like 'Wow, good thing something worked out,' because if it had bombed that would not have been good."
