'New Moon': New Portraits of Rob, Taylor, and Kristen

''I've been working since January 14th. I've had three days off.'' [winces] ''I know I'm making it sound like I'm complaining.''

''It was a lot of hard work,'' he said of the 32 lbs. of muscle he packed on before the sequel. ''But mentally and emotionally as well. Jacob doesn't just change physically.''

''The only reason you need a publicist is if you want to be constantly in the media — I would prefer never to be in it.''

''I feel like all the exchanges I've had with the fans have been so awesome. It makes me forget about the people who look at everything they're given in the media and take it at face value and decide what their opinion is about me without knowing me.''

''I'm just thankful that I had all the support behind me. [Director] Chris Weitz, my cast, I really couldn't have done it alone. It was a matter of a lot of people stepping up.''

''There's always a fear of not being able to grow.''

For more of our interview with the stars of New Moon, plus a look at which actors they view as role models, pick up the new issue of Entertainment Weekly, on stands November 13.

''No one's ever going to write, 'Oh, she's actually just a pretty f---in' average chick who really loves what she does.' That's not gonna happen.''

''I don't want to give my secrets away, but you, like, sit low in cars.''

''It was a stress-free job for three months...All the pressure was on Taylor.''

''The hardest part is not the working out. I knew what I was working for, so to get to the gym and work really hard was easy for me.''

''It's challenging, because he's not human. I mean, what human walks around with a frown, looking like he wants to kill something?''

''[Jacob and Bella] are so open, and they can tell each other everything. So it was very important for me and Kristen to grow very close before doing this.''

''People have seen his body and all that stuff and it's a shocker because it's hard to believe that anyone can be quite so carved. But he actually delivers a really great performance. He wasn't just exercising all day.''

''I love that kid. I would do anything for him. I would kill for him, literally.''

''I told Summit that they could probably get a talking chimp to direct New Moon, and it would still do well.''
