Nikki Reed

the L.A. native talks fans, fangs and fashion

By Laura Prudom

Nikki Reed has a sweet tooth.We first meet on the set of her Signature photo shoot, where the 21-year-old actress escapes with a fresh-baked box of brownies after a grueling day of back-to-back appointments. When we next speak, Reed has just baked a batch of cookies, giggling through a mouthful as we talk. "They're so good," she enthuses, "They're chocolate-chocolate chip!"

One might think that Reed's life is all sugar and spice - after all, she's young, gorgeous, and starring in one of the hottest movie franchises in recent history, the Twilight saga. But bearing such intense media attention takes its toll, especially considering that Reed is no stranger to the spotlight.

Her first role came in the controversial Oscar-bait, Thirteen, written by Reed and director Catherine Hardwicke. The movie was based on Reed's own tumultuous childhood, but the actress is quick to downplay the more salacious aspects of the narrative. "That whole thing with Thirteen has spiraled out of control, because it's just a movie," Reed sighs. "And for me to still, at 21, have to defend myself and defend my personality and still say, ‘but I don't go out, I don't drink, I don't do this,' all because I did this movie that was about a rebellious, sassy thirteen year old? Somehow that became a universal stamp that was put on my forehead: ‘Okay, so this is the party girl'." Fearful of becoming some kind of self-fulfilling prophecy, Reed admits that unlike her Young Hollywood peers, she doesn't go to clubs or out partying, "Because if there is a single photograph of me anywhere, it's like, ‘oh yeah, we knew it'."

Throughout our conversation, Reed pauses to consider whether she is being too pessimistic about her situation, but the actress speaks with a self-awareness that belies her years, all too cognizant of how the Hollywood system works. "I don't see myself necessarily [acting] in the years to come," she says soberly. "I don't know if I have what it takes, because our industry has changed a lot in the last decade in terms of what it means to be an actor; it requires a certain amount of notoriety and being photographed in certain places."

Citing reality stars like Paris Hilton and Lauren Conrad who have replaced method actors like Johnny Depp and Daniel Day Lewis in terms of visibility, the frustration is evident in Reed's tone as she speaks: "It's instant gratification and satisfaction -needing to know what people are doing at all times and it's like, if you're not on Perez, you're just not as famous, and if you're not as famous, producers don't wanna put you in their movies because they want people in some small town in Croatia to know you; I can't function like that."

Rather than being cynical about the industry, Reed appears to have a firm grasp on the politics of entertainment that many actresses shy away from acknowledging. "Women are recycled so much," she points out, "it's like, you're hot when you're literally hot, and other than that you just sort of get plucked in and out. You're sucked into this machine and you're spun around for a little bit and then you're just tossed."

Far from being dismissive of the fans that have made Twilight such a huge success - and arguably perpetuate the constant consumption of her life in gossip magazines - Reed is quick to acknowledge that the franchise and her career would be nothing without them. "They get full credit, they really do," she insists. "It has nothing to do with any of us, at all - anybody could've played any one of our roles and the franchise would've been just as successful because it had a following before us. They love these characters."

The attention that comes with playing a bloodsucking beauty can often become claustrophobic. Reed retreated to Greece for three months over the summer to escape the paparazzi that were camped constantly outside her home. But, the actress does admit that the Twilight series has given her much more freedom in terms of career security. "I love to travel and I get to go places in between working," she muses. "Other [actors] go right back to L.A. and hustle to get another job, and I just sit and think ‘great, I have my next job already'."

In her limited downtime, Reed dabbles in a number of creative pursuits, admitting that she plans to purchase a digital SLR camera after we've finished talking. "I'm a weird mix of everyone in my family," she says. "My brother's a photographer and my grandmother makes ceramics, my dad's an architect-slash-production designer so everybody does something artistic. I still haven't really found my little nook, but I make these really cool cards for people as gifts, gluing and painting like an arts and crafts project..." And in addition to scriptwriting, Reed also harbors a desire to direct someday. "That's sort of my passion. I'm not meant to be ‘the puppet'," she confides with a laugh. "I think I drive directors crazy anyway because I always wanna know what exact shot it is, I wanna look through the camera, I wanna look at the storyboards, I always ask to sit in the editing rooms and I always think that they're like, ‘Enough, Nikki!'."

It's clear that Reed has a natural aptitude for creativity, but she admits, that aptitude doesn't extend to fashion - surprising, after her confident performance at our shoot. "I'm totally clueless," she laments self-deprecatingly."Well, maybe not totally - I can look at myself and know if I look bad, but for the most part everything is really simple, like right now I'm wearing jeans and a long-sleeved shirt and a baseball hat, and that's kind of what I wear every single day!" Reed reveals that she likes to observe fashion, and adores it when people put an ensemble together for her so that she doesn't have to think about it. "I'm fascinated by clothes," she insists, struggling for a suitable analogy to define the relationship. "Sort of like how I'm fascinated with... tigers, but I would never want to own one!"
