A thousand words with stars from ‘Twilight’

A thousand words with stars from ‘Twilight’

Part one of “Breaking Dawn,” the latest in the “Twilight” movie series, comes out today. On Nov. 9, cast members made a stop in Dallas, where more than 300 screaming fans awaited.

Cast members Ashley Greene (Alice Cullen), Nikki Reed (Rosalie Hale), Jackson Rathbone (Jasper Hale) and Charlie Bewley (Demetri Volturi), answered questions about the set, filming and life as a movie star.

Q: How do you balance a normal life? Do you ever just do normal things?

Reed: I have a very normal life. I play with my dog; I go to the grocery store and cook, not that well. I have a very normal life. I think most of us do, except for Charlie.

Q: How does it feel now that it’s starting to end?

Rathbone: Doesn’t really feel like it’s ending yet. We got part one coming out and it’s a beautiful movie; we have the wedding, the honeymoon, some baby-making scenes and that’s just all in the first 30 minutes. We even got some wolf drama; it’s really exciting.

Bewley: From a Volturi standpoint, it’s definitely not over.

Q: What’s the day like on the set? Ya’ll must’ve had some long days.

Rathbone: Long nights. When you’re shooting a vampire movie, you stay away from the sun or you sparkle like a diamond; or as I like to say, you sparkle like David Bowie circa ‘76.

Q: Many of your fans are passionate; do you have any crazy stories?

Greene: I actually got my hair pulled the other day, and I spent a lot of time growing that. And marriage proposals, they’re always insane. I got one from a woman who asked if I would marry her husband.

Q: Do you ever go to the theater and watch the movie yourself?

Rathbone: Nikki and I saw it recently; it was us and about six other people, and it was kind of like watching the “Twilight” movies if they failed. It was a very surreal experience to look around and be like, “err, this could’ve been the opposite so thank you for buying tickets.”

Q: Do you do any rituals before filming or get into character?

Greene: I think for me going and sitting for two hours to get hair and makeup, the contacts, the wig; if that doesn’t get you into character, I don’t know what does.

Q: If you weren’t acting, what would you be doing?

Greene: Oh gosh, I’d probably be homeless. No, psychology always interested me finding out how the human mind works, so yeah.

Rathbone: When we were shooting, I would go to school and when we were shooting “Breaking Dawn” I actually went to LSU and was studying psychology, but I would probably work with children.

Wow, I’ve only ever wanted to be an artist, but I guess when I was growing up in Midland, Texas, I was part of this theater troupe and got to teach theater to little kids, so I think I’d do that because it’s just really fun.

Bewley: Well before I was an actor, I was a taxi driver and got paid all day to drive around to do doughnuts and crank my tunes up; it was the best job in the world.

Q: What was the most memorable part of this whole experience?

Bewley: For me was getting cast. This was huge when I got cast, and literally 10 weeks later I was with Ashley Greene, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, who I knew from the magazine covers and then there was me and I was like, “What am I doing here?” It was wonderful.

Q: How are you most like your character?

Greene: I think I’m honestly related to how much she loves her family and I’m very close to my family.

Rathbone: I relate to the fact that Jasper’s from Texas. I love that.

Q: Who’s the craziest and jokes around the most on the set?

Rathbone: Peter Facinelli. Sadly he couldn’t make it because he’s on the set of “Nurse Jackie.”

Q: Jackson [Rathbone], what’s your biggest fear in real life?

Rathbone: Biggest fear in real life; well I don’t like spiders, but not as scared. Spiders serve a great function. Spiders eat flies and flies are annoying; it’s true they bug me. But you know, I guess it’s getting sick; even if I feel it coming, I make chicken noodle soup.

Bewley: The first day I was in Twilight town I go to hair and makeup and there’s the man Robert Pattinson and I walk up to him and said, “Hey Edward, how’s it going?”

Q: Which of the “Twilight” movies is your favorite?

Rathbone: “Eclipse!” I really liked going into Jasper’s story and show the civil war and getting to ride a horse again.

Greene: I’m going to go with “Twilight” because it’s where I first met all these guys and it’s the book I fell in love with, all the characters in the franchise, especially Alice. Oh, and especially Jasper; I’m in love with Jasper.
