I’ve always kind of had an interest in the drums but nothing else. The drums are the only thing I feel I would be good at, because I’m a very physical person. I’ve always played sports and stuff. Drums would give me something to do. – Taylor Lautner
When we were filming ‘Twilight,’ we didn’t expect anything. We were just filming a movie that we wanted the fans to enjoy. And then it kinda just blew into this whole other world. – Taylor Lautner
I think of ‘Twilight’ in terms of the fact that the popularity has given us the opportunity to do the things that we love, and now we can pick and choose. – Taylor Lautner
Honesty and loyalty are key. If two people can be honest with each other about everything, that’s probably the biggest key to success. – Taylor Lautner
When I went to Australia, I went shark diving. It was crazy. It was called ‘extreme’ shark diving because even though we were in cages, we literally could touch the sharks swimming by. They were huge and I’m terrified of sharks. Then I went to a wildlife park and held kangaroos. That was nice. – Taylor Lautner
At one point I had to shove as much food in my body as possible to pack on calories. My trainer wanted me to do six meals a day and not go two hours without eating. If I would cheat on eating one day, I could tell – I’d drop a few pounds. – Taylor Lautner
It’s hard enough condensing 500 pages into a movie, and it would have been impossible to condense 800. – Taylor Lautner
If I were trying to impress a girl, I wouldn’t get all super dressed because I would look like I was trying too hard. Instead, I would probably wear what I normally would. – Taylor Lautner
When we’re not filming or promoting then, you know, I live two different lives. So when I’m just in Taylor’s life, and I’m just, you know, at home spending time with friends, it’s great, it’s a totally different life than this ‘Twilight’ world for sure. But it’s amazing; our fans are the most passionate fans in the world! – Taylor Lautner
I love challenging myself, doing different things, and exploring different areas that I haven’t been to or gone to before. – Taylor Lautner
I believe in the saying, ‘If you aim at nothing, you’re going to hit nothing.’ So if you don’t set goals, then you have nowhere to go. – Taylor Lautner
I was in the gym five days a week, two hours a day. At one point, I was going seven days straight. I had put on a lot of weight, and then I started losing it drastically, so I was worried. It turned out I was overworking myself. My trainer told me that I couldn’t break a sweat, because I was burning more calories than I was putting on. – Taylor Lautner
I’m not sure what ‘cheeky’ means. I hear it used so much and in so many different ways, I can’t identify the real meaning of it. – Taylor Lautner
I definitely love Australia. I’ve been to Sydney and Melbourne a couple of times, and I love those places. – Taylor Lautner
I love action films. I’d love to do an action drama. I’m always looking to give my character something action-oriented to do. – Taylor Lautner
There’s no ex out there who I’m not friends with today, and I’m extremely thankful for that. – Taylor Lautner
I think the one film that I could watch over and over and over again – and I have – is ‘Man on Fire.’ – Taylor Lautner
The actual getting into the gym and working out process was easier, but the eating was harder. I had to eat every two hours. At one point, my trainer said, ‘Put anything in your mouth. Go to McDonald’s, get the biggest shake possible. I just need to get calories in you.’ Because my body fat at the time was only, like, 7.5%. – Taylor Lautner
My dream as an actor growing up was always to challenge myself to different genres, different roles, and it’s actually rare that an actor’s given that opportunity to do that. – Taylor Lautner
When you make a movie independently, you raise the money beforehand, and then you make the movie kind of by yourself. – Taylor Lautner
What’s really important to me is somebody who can totally let loose and pretty much be themselves and have fun. – Taylor Lautner
I’d love to do a movie with Denzel Washington, or some action star such as Matt Damon or Mark Wahlberg would be really cool, too. – Taylor Lautner
I’ve always been really active. I grew up playing sports, so I’m always shooting hoops or throwing the football with my friends. I’m super-active in that sense. – Taylor Lautner
I like to think of myself as very loyal, and I love everyone I surround myself with, whether they’re friends or girlfriends or whatever. – Taylor Lautner
Regular martial arts is traditional, with no music and no flips choreograhed into it. But extreme martial arts is choreographed to music. It’s very fast-beat uptempo, and you put a lot of acrobatic maneuvers into the routine. – Taylor Lautner
If I start thinking, ‘Is this movie going to open? Is this movie going to do well?’ I’m not focusing on the job. The job is to make a good movie. – Taylor Lautner
