I wasn't a proper producer. I only came on at the end. I always liked what ["Remember Me" director] Allen [Coulter] and ["Remember Me" producer] Nick [Osborne's] idea for the whole movie was, and at the end, I didn't want it to be messed about with, by the studio or by whomever — whatever I could do to help protect that. I did little contributions and things, not as a producer. I felt really bad [for not contributing more], but I thought, "I can’t take my name off it …"

What led you to do "Remember Me"?

I read it just after "Twilight," in the summer, and there was just something about it. I liked the way it didn't fit into any formulaic structure, and it didn't seem like a teen movie. I really liked Allen and Nick. The period in between the second and third "Twilight" films was only two months, and you can't shoot that much stuff. It wasn’t that big of a film. It seemed like the perfect meat to put in there. And it was also an ensemble piece. Everyone’s character was pretty well-written. That was the main reason for doing it.
