"I'm less blood thirsty but we both have a big Southern background and so that comes with the old school qualities, such as taking a girl out or meeting people daily and talking to them."—September 2008, on his similarity to his Twilight characterPortrait Magazine: Jackson Rathbone Interview

"We're definitely not making 'I Know What You Did 3 Summers Ago' or anything like that. When you get down to it, we all feel dread and we all have reasons for what inspired it. That's what we're trying to get to the root of in this film. The imagery in this film is haunting, stuff that's made a lot of people sick."—October 29, 2008, on the filming of DreadShockTillYouDrop.com: Set Visit Preview: Clive Barker's Dread
