Ashley Greene looks striking on the July 2010 cover of ASOS magazine.

The 23-year-old actress opened up to the mag about her beginnings and where she’s headed next. Check it:

On spazzing when Twilight came calling: “I was 20 when I got cast in Twilight. I was still working at this restaurant in LA called The Belmont Cafe and I was reading the books while I was there. I freaked out when they told me I’d got the role, like, holy crap, this might change my life! I don’t feel that anyone could have expected this though. It’s still insane and I still have to pinch myself.”

On just why she’s looking for a place to chill in New York: “The other day, I had eight paparazzi following me. For what? To watch me eat ice cream? It’s just silly. You can say it’s something that comes with the job, and it’s what everyone wants, for people to know who you are. When you can’t function in your everyday life and you can’t walk around without something being stated, it’s unnecessary and it takes away from what we’re here to do. It’s why I’m looking for an apartment in New York. There is so much more going on — there’s the music scene and Wall Street and I really don’t think everything would drop just because I walked in a room. It’s nice.”
