London: Actress Ashley Greene says she struggled to cope with her new-found fame because her celebrity status negatively affected her relationships with her closest friends.
The 25-year-old, who became an overnight star in 2008 after landing the role of Robert Pattinson`s sister Alice Cullen in ‘Twilight’ series, said that her hectic work schedule makes her relationships fleeting, reported a leading daily.
"I`m always here and there - everyone in my industry is - and that`s why a lot of relationships are fleeting. I`ve gotten very good at detaching whenever I have to go away for three months, which I realize is hard on friends and kind of selfish.
"After the movie came out, some people said, `You changed`. And I said, `I haven`t changed, dude. Your opinion of me has changed because I`m working on this film.` Trust me, my parents would let me know (if I changed)."
