Ashley Greene takes a bike ride in the woods in this new shot from the March 2011 issue of Teen Vogue magazine.

Inside the issue, the 23-year-old actress dishes on what makes her relationship with Joe Jonas work, karma and working with Miley Cyrus. Check it:

On how she met Joe: “We met through mutual friends in London, which is crazy because we both live in L.A. And we’ve already met each other’s parents, which I think is a good result of the kind of lifestyle we live. He’s sweet and really funny, which is huge for me.”

On taking it one step at a time: “Right now I’m in this amazing place, and there are open doors. I think it would be foolish to take a month off. So many people would kill to be in my shoes that it’s just bad karma!”

On working alongside Miley: “She’s young, but we could relate to each other because she’s probably been through as much as a 40-year-old!”

On growing up in the spotlight: “Plenty of Disney kids are perfectly normal and love what they do. But you always hear about the people who aren’t doing well. It’s kind of like the squeaky wheel.”

On her new roles beyond Twilight’s Alice: “As much as I love that character, I’m excited for people to see a bit of my range.”

On the future:“Right now I’m in this amazing place, and there are open doors. I think it would be foolish to take a month off. So many people would kill to be in my shoes that it’s just bad karma!”

On Hollywood haters:“There will always be people who love me or hate me. That’s why I try to focus on the positive.”

In her now-immortal novel Twilight, Stephenie Meyer describes Alice Cullen, sister of tween dream Edward, as a “devastatingly, inhumanly beautiful” pixie vampire with “obsidian eyes” and an “exquisite, elfin face.” Most actors would rather not admit that casting decisions were based on anything other than their craft, but 23-year-old Ashley Greene—who brought Alice to life in The Twilight Saga: New Moon and this summer’s Eclipse and is signed on for next year’s Breaking Dawn—has no such illusions. “Yes, I’m very thankful that Stephenie Meyer wrote a character that I happen to look like,” says Greene with a laugh. Given the series’ rabid “Twihard” fan base—legions of whom were locked in long before the film’s first scene was shot—if Greene hadn’t been an eerily perfect fit for Alice, the filmmakers would have heard about it. “The fans were already there,” Greene says. “Before they knew Ashley Greene, they knew Alice Cullen, and they all had an idea of how she looked.”

Ashley Greene has a way of making everything seem easy. Effortlessly chic, she possesses a raw acting talent that seems as natural as breathing. She advanced from total obscurity to the cover of Vanity Fair with such little fuss it’s as if it was delivered to her on a platter.
She was a complete unknown two years ago when she landed the role of saintly vampire Alice Cullen in Twilight, the first in a series of films adapted from the best-selling novels by Stephenie Meyer, which has so far grossed more than $1 billion worldwide.

She reprises her role in the third instalment, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. At 23, Greene is poised to step up to the Hollywood A-list, and the world is about to start paying attention.

Tae kwon do, kick-boxing, baseball… I’m prepared for anything.

I never rely on luck to get where I want to be. My father taught me that good things happen to you when preparation meets opportunity, so nothing is ever left to chance. I believe in being prepared at all times. In 2007, when I landed the audition for the first Twilight movie, I made sure I knew Stephenie Meyer’s novel back to front and I had a firm handle on the character of Alice Cullen. For the baseball scene in Twilight I learned how to pitch convincingly by training with a professional coach for two weeks. For the new Twilight movie I’m involved in a few fight scenes, so I worked three days a week in Vancouver with a special team who taught me to kick-box. Having learnt tae kwon do in high school, I also worked on sharpening up my Korean martial-art skills. As ever, I was fully prepared.

I got my work ethic from the marines.

More specifically, my dad, who used to be a marine so he’s got incredibly strong discipline. Then he started his own concrete business, building it up from scratch. Like him, I can’t rest up for long before I feel the need to start grafting again. I like to take holidays, but rest is always more pleasurable after a long period of hard work

After a few days of doing nothing, with my phone switched off, I feel I’ve recharged my batteries and I’m ready to dive back into work. It helps that I love what I do, but I’d like to think I’d have a strong work ethic whatever I was doing. I can’t think of anything more boring than being on permanent vacation. I can be skiing in some of the most beautiful places on Earth, but I can only take a few days of that and I’m so ready to get back to work and be creative again.

Education is never wasted.

Before I started acting I studied psychology at public high school – I didn’t get to be a psychologist, but those lessons have been invaluable to me. When I first moved to Hollywood at 17, I was naive and inexperienced. I had to quickly learn how to read people and how to empathise with them. I don’t have my Twilight character’s gift for premonition, but I rely heavily on my own intuition. Psychology has also been useful to me in terms of being able to read a script and get to grips with the personality of the character I’m playing. Education is never wasted.

When the going gets strange, embrace the strangeness.

When I started out as an actress I thought only about work. I never stopped to consider what it would be like to be famous. The Twilight movies attract extremely devoted fans. When they meet me their reactions are sometimes a little odd. Quite often they just stand in front of me and start crying and shaking. It was slightly terrifying at first, but I’ve learnt to accept it. So long as people are responding in a positive way, that’s a huge compliment to me and to the movies I’m in. Going through my fan mail is always a big pick-me-up, no matter how unusual the letters. I have a team that can be relied upon to filter out anything too strange. One thing that did get through was a car manual. I’m still trying to figure out why a guy would send me that in the post.

Never stop learning from the people you work with.

Robert Pattinson, who plays my adoptive brother in the Twilight films, has been one of my biggest inspirations. As a person, he’s not like anyone I’ve ever met in Hollywood, and as an actor he’s a complete natural. He has no ego. Everyone loves him, but he’s unaffected by that and never seems fazed by the attention that comes his way. He’s not changed a bit since I worked with him on the first Twilight movie. He’s a great night out if you tag along with him to a pub or bar. He’s not the nightclubbing, get-up-and-dance kind of guy, but during shooting we’ll join him back at his hotel, where he’ll get out his guitar and we’ll have a loud singalong.

Taking a few risks in life can remind you that you’re alive.

A few years ago I was walking along a cliff in California with a friend and she jokingly suggested we jump in the sea. I took that as a challenge and went ahead and did it. The feeling was incredible and I was buzzing for days. Right at the top of my list of things I must do this year are skydiving and deep-sea diving. I want to do those things while I’m still young and feel a little fearless. I’m not one of life’s great risk-takers, but just occasionally I like to feel the thrill of danger.

You owe it to yourself to follow your dream.

I’ve always thought it would be completely awful to look back on my life and wonder what would have happened had I only taken a chance on something I wanted to achieve. At 15 I decided that acting was my true calling and that I needed to leave high school to pursue it seriously. Luckily I had parents who were completely supportive. I also had the confidence. I was driven to it because I knew I could make it happen. If I’d waited a few years, maybe that confidence would have evaporated. If you have a dream, then the time to start chasing it is now. Don’t wait until tomorrow.

I’ve signed up to the school of ‘try anything once’.

For example, food is a huge part of life’s adventure, and coming from Jacksonville, Florida, it’s not uncommon to find stuff like fried alligator’s tail on your plate. I’ve tried that a few times. I’ll try pretty much anything you care to put in front of me. The only thing I draw the line at is oysters. I refuse to eat something that looks as if it belongs up someone’s nose.

Always dress for yourself – never to impress.

Though I’ve been voted a Hollywood style icon, I’m no fashionista. I try not to think too much about what the clothes I’m wearing say about me. My personal style just comes down to what I feel most comfortable in. Audrey Hepburn is my style icon. She never tried too hard to look cool, but she always looked amazing. I love everything about her. She never had too much attitude – just enough. She was always perfectly understated. Everything she wore was simple but elegant. She proved that style is best when it comes out naturally from who you are and what you’re about.
