Nikki Reed: Gurl Magazine Interview

Nikki_Photo_dosomethignWe just got to meet Nikki Reed at the Creation Entertainment Official Twilight Convention in Minneapolis. What really strikes you is Nikki’s openness with the fans the very different life that she has lead, not at all the typical Hollywood starlet story.

In part of her interview, to talk about her new movie The Last Day of Summer, Nikki talks about how hard it is for young girls to find themselves and her take how to pick your path.

Ok, so aside from getting braces, what advice would you give gURLs who also feel like they don’t really fit in?

I think it’s important for people to experience. I don’t like when advice is given and it just feels so unrealistic, like, “Oh, just stay true to yourself and don’t ever join the cool crowd.” So just experiment and experience everything, but to a limit. Mildly. See things and do things but don’t lose yourself and don’t forget yourself in the process because it’s really so minor in the grand scheme of things.

So true. Thanks for the reminder! We needed that!

Yeah! Even now at 22, I’m just starting to grasp the concept that there’s so much life ahead of me. It really becomes more about your family and your life so just make good choices and take care of yourself. If you wanna party and stuff and that’s what you feel you need to do, then try to do good in school also so that you can get somewhere. ”

See the whole interview on Gurl.

For those of you doing last minute back-to-school shopping this weekend (believe it or not school hasn’t started yet for those of us who are in the Northeast) Nikki has an ongoing campaign with DoSomething.org to get school supplies to kids who need them.
