New interview with Nikki Reed from gURL.com

In a new interview with gURL.com, Nikki reed talks about her childhood and her latest film.  Here  is what she had to say about co-star DJ Qualls and getting the part of Stefanie in Last Day of Summer.

So, we hear DJ Qualls (your co-star) hand-picked you to play Stefanie?
DJ and I have been best friends for I don’t even know how long now… since I was a kid! He was actually approached with the script before I was and they asked who he thought should play Stefanie and he said me.
What a great friend! The movie is so intense. Did you sign onto it right away?
There was a bit of resistance at first because I sort of carry around this weird false image that I can only play the hot or intimidatingly beautiful girl, which is just really strange because I’m not intimidatingly beautiful. I think just when you play those characters, people start to see you as that. And so I went in and met with them and they were like, “Oh, she’s not that beautiful. We can give her this role.”
Ok, Nikki. You’re just being humble.
(Laughs). I thought that it was just gonna be an easy breezy situation because DJ and I were so close, but it was really interesting to see how heavy it became just due to the nature of the project and how little time we had [to film it].

And here was her advice to girls that look up to her.

Ok, so aside from getting braces, what advice would you give gURLs who also feel like they don’t really fit in?
I think it’s important for people to experience. I don’t like when advice is given and it just feels so unrealistic, like, “Oh, just stay true to yourself and don’t ever join the cool crowd.” So just experiment and experience everything, but to a limit. Mildly. See things and do things but don’t lose yourself and don’t forget yourself in the process because it’s really so minor in the grand scheme of things.
