Ashley Offers a Taste of ‘Twilight’ Gossip

The love triangle between Edward, Bella, and Jacob is at the heart of the "Twilight" movies, but Twi-hards can expect another character, Ashley Greene's Alice Cullen, to command more attention in the latest installment, "Eclipse," which will hit theaters on June 30.

Check out a few tidbits from the actress' new interview with Seventeen magazine:

On the evolution of Alice: "In 'Twilight' and 'New Moon,' Alice acts so human it's easy to forget she's a vampire. By 'Eclipse,' she begins to show a darker side because -- regardless of her demeanor -- she's still an animal and she'll do absolutely anything to protect her family."

On what she would have liked to know a few years ago: "I wish that in high school I would have realized sooner that it's not worth all the time and effort to hate someone or think about how you're going to hurt someone's feelings."
