HOW WAS WORKING WITH BILL CONDON, THE DIRECTOR?

He is a director who enjoys being involved, and is a great writer also, so he can change things anytime. Something great is that with the other movies everything was so serious, like ‘this is the way it is in the book, and this way has to be on the movie’, but sometimes the things on the book don’t look very well on the big screen, and Bill was so daring to try new things.

WHAT WAS YOUR CHALLENGE IN THIS MOVIE?

I think the most interesting thing in this movie is that my character is very different. From all the Twilight Saga books, this is the most weird of all, because Edward is more impulsive and makes a lot of mistakes, while in the other movies he always was planning and controlling everything.

When i read the book i was thinking ‘Edward, what the hell are you doing?!’ and i didn’t like what he was he doing, and for some reason it’s more funny to play him this way. Here he is very neglected, selfish and doesn’t know what to do, and he has turned into pieces, including his relationship with Bella. I really enjoyed to play him now.

OK, WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THE MOST IMPORTANT IN THIS MOVIE: THE SEX SCENE. HOW WAS IT FOR YOU?

Well, the sex scene never was described in the book, so i think every single person who read it had an idea how it was already. But while we were filming we had to think, how to do the sex scene to look incredible for everyone!?, how to fill all their expectations!?. But you’re worried about how you look, i never worried about a scene like this, but after seeing all what Taylor had to work out for the movies, i was thinking ‘oh, god! everyone’s gonna judge me!’(laughs). I was always thinking about positions where i can look better and make my abs look flat. Ok, i think i just gave you the worst and most pretentious answer ever!

SO, YOU WERE REALLY WORRIED ABOUT TAKING OFF YOUR SHIRT?

Well yeah! Mostly because in this movie the body of some characters it’s a very important thing (meaning Taylor and the Wolfpack) so, for this movie i said, ‘well, its the last one, I’ll try to get a six pack!’, and i tried, but it’s so hard, i worked out for like 6 weeks, just before the sex scene, and once it was done i said… let’s eat!

WELL, WHEN YOU WERE FILMING THIS SCENE, WHAT HAPPENED?

The Director helped us a lot. He knew this was a important scene, and terrifying for Kristen and me, so he gave us a lot of ideas, because like i said, in the book just says ‘the house falls’ and that’s all, so, we had to do it like they do in ‘True Blood’, right?, but i think it is a good scene, with a lot of scenes and cuts very well edited.

YOU TALK ABOUT ‘TRUE BLOOD’, WERE YOU WORRIED ABOUT MAKING IT LOOKS LIKE THE TV SHOW?

Well yeah, i don’t watch that TV show a lot, but people say ‘Twilight’ is about abstinence, vampires don’t kill humans, and ‘True Blood’ it’s like a blood bath, is more passionate and in this movie, ‘Breaking Dawn’, the lead characters yield to the temptation and passion and blah, blah, blah… Like everyone wonders, how the hell do vampires have sex? and it’s very hard to do a transcendental sex scene, i think that could be weird to watch in the twilight saga, without being something… you know, dirty, does what i just said make any sense? Hey though, i didn’t answer your question, i was only talking about sex!

LET’S TALK ABOUT THE WEDDING, KRISTEN’S DRESS AND ALL THE PREPARATIONS.

Oh, well, all the weddings are about the bride, right? I was just there standing, waiting, hahaha. Kristen was going crazy with all the dress things and stuff, and i was like ‘and i have to wear a stupid tuxedo!’

HOW HAS KRISTEN GROWN AS AN ACTRESS ALL THESE PAST YEARS? HOW HAS SHE EVOLVED?

Well she just got older. When we made the first movie she was 17, and now she is 21, she has changed a lot on her personality, but as an actress, since i know her, she has been a very self confident actress, that’s why i laugh when people says she is very shy, and that’s not true!

THIS YEAR WAS THE END OF THE HARRY POTTER SAGA, AND THE PREMIERE WAS VERY EMOTIVE. WHAT YOU THINK WILL HAPPEN WHEN THE TWILIGHT SAGA FINALLY ENDS NEXT YEAR?

Harry Potter thing is very different, because they were very young when it all started. I can’t even remember what i was doing 8 years ago! When we ended the shooting between every movie, we worked on other movies, it’s very different.

THEN, HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT YOUR CAREER, A CHAPTER CLOSES AND STARTS SOMETHING NEW?

I’m a very paranoid person, and i always think if i don’t keep making movies, everything will end, and i will have a nervous breakdown. So i only think to keep working, till literally, nobody wants to employ me! hahaha

SERIOUSLY, YOU THINK THAT: THIS IS MY LAST JOB?

Totally. I always think the same. When i sign on for a movie, i start thinking, ‘oh no, people are gonna think this about me…’ and at the end i got to the set and i have an amazing time!
