"These movies, as great as they are and as huge as they are, they don't just spoon-feed you careers. It's like you still have to go and bust your butt and work just like everybody else," the 23-year-old actress said in an interview Wednesday in New York.
Reed's character, Edward Cullen's sister Rosalie Hale, takes on a more prominent role in the latest installment, the first of a two-part finale being released in theaters Friday. "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1" finds Rosalie teaming with Bella (Kristen Stewart) to protect Bella's half-vampire baby who's growing quickly and violently inside the human teenager.
Reed's post-"Twilight" plans include pursuing more comedic roles, though she worries fans are used to seeing her as the serious, standoffish vampire she's played since the saga debuted in 2008.
"You know, I play very bold, very confident women, and I'm so different from the characters that I play. But it's true that people can't separate you," she said, noting that many people are surprised by her sense of humor.
Reed first entered the Hollywood scene in 2003 as a screenwriter for the film "Thirteen," loosely based on Reed's experiences with drugs, sex and self-harming in junior high. It starred Evan Rachel Wood, and Reed played a supporting role.
Reed has also dabbled in music with her husband of one month, "American Idol" alumnus Paul McDonald. The newlyweds recently released a duet, "Now That I Found You," which Reed wrote.
