The lovely Ashley Greene will be covering the August 2012 cover of Cosmopolitan. Here Ashley chats with the magazine about her thoughts on marriage and why she doesn’t have a type. You can pick up a copy of the magazine on newsstands July 10th, but check out a little sneak peek below:

On getting married:
“I’m not one of those girls who sits at home thinking, By 25, I have to be married. Right now, I’m like I’m 25, I need to book my next movie! My parents have such a beautiful marriage. I’m not someone who takes it lightly. So I’m not going to get married until I know I’ll be with someone forever.”

On whether she has a type:
“It’s about chemistry and a connection. I’ve changed so much over the past 10 years. What I wanted when I was 16, I didn’t want when I was 20, and that’s changed to something else now that I’m 25. Having a type is not for me”

Julia Jones has a nice little chat with Cosmopolitan, where she gives some details about what we can expect to see in the relationship between Leah Clearwater and Jacob Black. Julia goes on to describe how that role in Breaking Dawn even bled over a bit into real life, making her feel a bit protective of Taylor Lautner. Julia also gives more insight into the cast of Breaking Dawn and even a bit on the CGI technology used for the wolf transformations. Check it all out below:

What’s the relationship like between Jacob and Leah?

Jacob and Leah have a very close bond. It’s a little like family but it’s also a partnership. In Breaking Dawn, when Jacob lets her join his pack, he’s giving her an opportunity to stop feeling the pain of being around Sam all the time. I think her gratitude for that and her ability to understand his pain over Bella gives him strength as well. They would literally kill for each other.

In the novel, Leah is quite protective of Jacob. Are you protective of Taylor?

I actually do feel protective of Taylor. He’s so mature in a lot of ways that it doesn’t seem like he needs protection but every now and then I’m reminded of the fact that he’s still pretty young. I adore Taylor so it makes sense that I’d want him to be happy and safe.

Can you tell us a bit about the CGI technology behind the wolf transformations. How does it work?

There is a whole team of visual effects people whose job it is to make the wolves look amazing. We got to spend a lot of time with them and it was very exciting for me to learn about that part of the process. To do the transformations you have to get cyber-scanned, which is kind of like getting an MRI except you’re standing. This provides them with a three dimensional digital image of your body, which they can then manipulate into a wolf.
