Here is what the 18-year-old Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 actress had to share with the mag:

On her friend and co-star Kristen Stewart‘s recent scandal: “Well, I just think that media frenzies like that… Everyone thinks they have the right to, you know, publicize the struggles and sadness and heartbreak and all of that. It’s like, ‘Why do you think you are the authority to judge people’s experiences?’”

On shooting a rape scene at 14-years-old: “I’ve always been drawn to material that’s more kind of heavy, you know? Whether it be dark or dramatic or sometimes disturbing. And that can be hard to do when people think you’re still a kid.”

On only ever having one boyfriend in her life: ”You know, I’m not the kind of girl or person who really wants boyfriends in my life. I’m also the kind of person… I’m very black and white in what I feel and I don’t wanna be with someone that I don’t foresee spending a long time with.”
