On Taylor Lautner: “He and I have gotten really close. It would be confusing on the set with two Taylors in the same scene. They were like, ‘Taylor, on your mark – no, not you, the other one!’ So halfway through the shoot, I said, ‘How about you guys call me Swifty and call him Taylor?’”

On being single: “I’ve never thought it was a curse to be single, and at this point in my life, I’m in the mind-set where I choose to be single – like I got to light scented candles and write in my diary and I wouldn’t have time for that if I had a boyfriend right now!”

On having a level head amidst super-stardom: “I don’t feel as if I need to make some giant statement,” she told us. “When you start over-thinking everything, you stop being who you are and start being who you think you should be… I’m just going to continue to be who I am.”
