The star, who plays Alice Cullen in the world-renowned Twilight Saga, found sudden fame hard to deal with, but won’t change who she is to please fans.
Speaking with Interview magazine, the 22-year-old said: “There was a moment in time where I was kind of having this mini-breakdown because it was all very new, and it was all being thrown at me really quickly, and I was going, ‘Why are people reporting on this?
"Why do people care what I’m wearing or what I’m eating, and why are people looking down on me because I’m not wearing high heels?’ That’s the downside to being in the public eye.”
The star is also uneasy with being cast as a role model.
She said: “When girls come up and say, You’re my role model,’ it’s really flattering, but it’s also really scary because I’m not perfect and I’m going to make mistakes. I’ve just decided that I have to continue to live my life and do what I do.
"Hopefully, people love me because of who I am, not who I pretend to be.”
The actress, who was working as a waitress just weeks before filming box-office smash Twilight, has found there are great perks to being part of the film franchise.
“[Twilight] helped me get my foot into certain doors before the movie even came out," she said.
“I did four independent films during the break between Twilight and New Moon. I haven’t even really had time to sit back and process it all. But when you do finally sit back and think about it, it’s incredible.”
