Ashley Greene is rocking out the cover of this August’s issue of Nylon.
On keeping her waitressing gig after booking Twilight: I was working at the Belmont Cafe in L.A., got the call, and two weeks later was rehearsing. Right when I was cast, my IMDb STARmeter [a chart that tracks actors based on how many searches are done on them] went through the roof — all of ours did, and we hadn’t even done anything yet!. I asked my boss if I could have my job back after the shoot. He was like, “I don’t think you’ll need it but OK.”
On drawing from life experience for characters:
Growing up, I didn’t have a hard life. Luckily, people are not the greatest in L.A., so once I got here and my heart was broken and people stabbed me in the back, I could use that to feel vulnerable.On being typecast post-Twilight: It’s not like, ‘Oh, you’re the quirky best friend-slash-sister’. There’s no stereotype with Alice. And she doesn’t really look anything like me, with the pixie cut and the white makeup. So to be put in a box, I’d kind of have to do it myself. And I’m not going to do that.

“We were just making a little independent film in Portland,” says Nikki Reed of the movie that changed her life. “I don’t know what happened.”
Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning stopped by the Roxy in LA last night to take in the music at Nylon Magazine’s Summer Music Tour. Great way to chill out after a hard days work on the set of the Runaways.
Looking stunning as always,
