Nikki Reed wants to sit back and think about her life
Nikki Reed plans to “sit back” and think about her life and career when Twilight officially comes to an end. The actress says she hasn’t figured out what direction she wants to go in.
“Life after Twilight has consisted of me, honestly, figuring out what direction I want to go in, who I am, what kind of films I want to make — or if I want to make films, or TV, or work on a novel,” she said.
“That’s what Twilight has actually done, afforded me time to sit back and think for a second, ‘What do I want to do?’ Focusing on the things that make me feel unique or different in any way is kind of what I want to do right now.
Reed then talked about living life in the limelight.
” I have such strong feelings about internet-cyber bullying and all that. I was sitting with Lauren Alaina, who’s one of the Idol’s, in the Philippines two weeks ago. She was talking about someone saying something about whatever. And I was like, ‘Dude, I just was on E! Online — not Marc Malkin, but Ted Casablanca—and because of whatever was written, the people who go on there and the things that they say, the comments, are faceless so they’re empowered.
“It doesn’t get any easier. There are moments when I’ll go on a wall and be like, ‘Oh, that doesn’t bother me.’ But words can be vicious. My mom taught me that as a kid, to watch what you say to others because you can’t take it back, but it’s a whole different game when it’s in writing and there’s no one to point a finger at.”
