Honestly, Twi-hards? Does it really matter what we write here? We didn't think so.

But for the handful of you who haven't already forwarded to the portion of Taylor Lautner's Today show interview where his naked torso is featured in all its glory, here's your daily dose of TL from the press tour that just won't quit:

"I embrace this role and this franchise," the humble cutie said. "It's done many things for me, I give all the thanks to it and I'm having the time of my life with it." And!

"Eclipse is definitely my favorite of the series. I feel like Eclipse takes everything about the franchise—the romance, the action, the danger—and it takes it all to the next level."

Well, we're sold. Oh, and Twi-hards? Please respect the fact that Lautner is more than just a piece of meat. He's a piece of meat with feelings.

"They ask you to take your shirt off a lot," he said of his No. 1 fan request. "I just tell 'em, you know what? Not right now, but see it June 30."

Don't worry, Taylor. We're pretty sure they've already penciled that in.
