Quick Quote: “Someone on the internet wrote how I was taking myself very seriously, how I thought I was a method actor. Now, I did watch lion attacks on YouTube. And this was because Stephenie (Meyer) used the word “feline” to describe Victoria as being agile. So what am I gonna do? I’m going to watch cats, because that’s the word Stephenie used, feline. Because I’ve established that I’m not the most graceful person, when I say I acted like a cat I don’t mean I was drinking milk out of a plate. I didn’t want to feel like a fool doing all these vampire movements, so I wanted to put it in my body. It was like a theater-school exercise. But I’m glad that I did it. Though maybe I’m not glad I told people.”
