• Nikki Reed Quotes

  • "Being a part of this film (Twilight) is the first time I've felt old. It's the first time I've realized there is a generation below me. I'm not part of the MySpace / Facebook generation. I had dial-up internet when I was twelve."Film.com: Nikki Reed on Twilight (November 14, 2008)

  • "There's a lot of pressure.When it comes to beauty, when it comes to perfection ... nobody is ever going to be the definitive, beautiful queen. It's an impossible task. That was the most difficult part for me when I was approaching the part (Rosalie Cullen). You have to let that go. There's a lot of little girls out there happy to say Rob (Pattinson) is the most beautiful guy in the world, but there aren't 650 boys out there behind the ropes screaming for me."Film.com: Nikki Reed on Twilight (November 14, 2008)
