Twilight Cast In UK Glamour

Who says the US fans get all the fun? Looks like the UK just struck gold with the December UK edition of Glamour. Ashley Greene, Nikki Reed, Kellan Lutz, and Jackson Rathbone talk about relationships, soul mates, and then there are the photos.

“Ashley on soulmates: “Gosh, I hope so. I’m a strong believer in chemistry [too]. It has nothing to do with what you want, just how your chemicals react with each other.”

Jackson on love and lust: “Lust tastes like tequila and love tastes like whiskey. Love burns for longer and warms you up on the inside and sometimes it makes you do stupid things. Tequila just makes you wasted”
