Jackson, my love
"I couldn't do without my guitar, Annabelle. When I picked it out, I thought, 'This is a great sounding Southern Resonator, and it needs an appropriate Southern girl's name."
"I guess my guitar was my sweetheart... I took it everywhere with me! It will never work out though...her parents hate me..."
"After I booked the project, I called my parents and let them know I was doing the film, and my mother was like, 'Oh, the book Twilight, okay.' And, she told my little sister, who’s 13, and all of her friends love the book and were just going gaga over it. And then, my family read the books and they just fell in love with them. They burned through the first three within a week or two. And then, all my cousins started calling me, from all over. They had all found out that I was doing it and they were so excited. That was the first tip to me. I was like, 'Wow, people know this book!'"
"I like alliteration."
"I stay away from Facebook and MySpace. Whenever I go out with a friend, they`re like `I didn`t know you had a MySpace.` I don`t have a MySpace. There`s actually three MySpaces for Jackson Rathbone. I don`t know who these people are but they`re not me!"
"I have turned down roles that I found morally reprehensible... but in the same breath I must concede that I love playing morally reprehensible characters. As long as it's tasteful and intelligent, and my family promises to never see it, I might do nudity... Might."
"So it's like we're in a new age [vamps], a new age that says, 'Hey, you've got some pretty nice canines. I've got some pretty good canines. We can sink our teeth into some flesh. We could do some damage, couldn't we?'"
"I can’t call it a hobby because it’s so much more than that but I don’t want to do music as a career. It’s a huge part of my life though... I need it to survive! I would love to have a place to play! I’m also working on an album by myself but if nothing happens with it, I don’t mind. It’s mostly for myself..."
"I'm all about nightlife. I live during the night."
"If there was ever is a movie version [of my life], I'd demeand it to be a cartoon. Then, perhaps Christopher Walken could play me? I doubt he'd want to.."
"When it comes to my sisters` boyfriends, I`m either cool with them or my sisters know that I hate them. I`m pretty blunt with them and to the point. Back in high school, there were a couple of boys my sisters had and man, I let them know I didn`t like them. I was pretty upfront but my dad always had it right. Whenever my sisters brought them over to the house for the first time, he`d be teaching me how to clean the shotguns."
