I kept her rings. Her moon-ring, and it totally reminds me of Catherine Hardwicke whenever I look at it. I have the engagement ring too. That was it! Those are really important to me, I love those things.

When did you realize the crazy fan following?
Never really realized it. Comic Con was the first time when I was hit with a wave of human energy and I was like realized that this is not a normal movie, and very much our own. The first dose of sharing it, and something that really effected and moved you, also moves other people. I thought, “We’re really going places!”

Action battle sequences?
I broke my finger on the first day we shot. So that was frustrating! i’d been on the sidelines so long, thinking “I could do that pretty well, those contacts would look pretty cool.” I think that's probably why I broke my finger, a little overzealous!

Bella’s life is paused at 18, what age would you pause yourself at?
I don’t know! Yeah, I’m not sure, sorry, most boring answer ever. Haven’t gotten to that point yet.

How did Bella’s journey parallel your own since you were similar in age?
Without taking the truth out of this, it’s so sort of general. Like that period where you’re like “do I go with this, or is that crazy?!” I think it ultimately is yes, absolutely! You’ll question yourself, but it just gets a little easier. I think I feel a little more realized, a lot more actually. Maybe just by chance we happen to be the same age. She lives so many years in such a tiny period of time. That’s only because of the story, it’s hard to put yourself there. I think I’ve grown up, definitely.

Effect this franchise has had on your career?
I can’t answer what my dream role is or what I want to do next. I’ve gotten insanely lucky, and things have had things fall in my lap. If I can keep doing that, I’ll be a happy girl! I mean, I can read a great script, and not think I have it in me, but you can also be surprised and read a script and be like, “wow, I did not know I had that in me!” Now, I want to dig a little deeper. You can shock yourself a little bit, and that’s what I’d like to do.

The final scene sums it all up, what was it like seeing that for the first time?
It’s so crazy to see. You typically don’t get that opportunity to look back, I recently got to see the final cut and I couldn’t. [Hides face] Nope! He understood, really puts his finger on what drives this thing. This movie is romantic, and I don’t want to say sappy, but that’s what was so stirring. If someone tried to be “cool” with it, I think that wouldn’t have been the correct choice. You can tell he’s a huge fan! It’s a nice little knife twist, like gah, it’s really over? I love Bill for doing that.

Playing a mother?
Some people have strong natural instincts, to be a mom. There was never enough about that in the script for me. Luckily Stephanie has been on set every day on this one, and we were really together on that aspect. Vampires have slightly more animalistic nature, and what better way to show that [motherhood]. I have a great relationship with my mom, and she has a bit of a feral nature to being my mom. I can’t wait to be a mom…but I can wait!

Relationship with co-stars?
We share the movies! The general question is how it feels to walk away from it, and I don’t think I’m walking away from anything. I think [Rob and Taylor] feel the same way, at least they say they do. There are a lot of exceedingly famous people, and they all get it too.

Are you glad it’s over?
I’m really happy to have the story told. We had five years, so excited to have it out there. I don’t want to sound excited to have it be over. Anything, like re-shoots, like anything falls right back into that. I will definitely miss that. However, I feel like it’s not going anywhere. It is sad, but it’s normal, things shouldn’t stay stagnant.

Would you do another franchise?
Yeah! It depends, it’s hard to sign onto something if you don’t know what you’re singing up for. My guess is probably not, but it’s hard to find something that lends itself to that. I’m not a huge fan of any comic book. So, as of now, probably not, but never say never.

What does Bella want for Christmas, what super-power would you want?
Bella’s not into presents! I would absolutely love to be able to run that fast. I wouldn't want to live forever.

Any question you wish you’ve been asked?
What do I desperately want to let out? Yeah, nothing?

 

 

Advice you’d give yourself?
I knew at the time that it was going to go by so fast, so just to soak it all up and enjoy each and every moment.

 

Line between caring and creepy with Renesmee?

It’s a fine line and I was worried about it. We were fortunate to have Stephenie on set the whole time for the last two, and she said stop overcomplicating it! It’s a lifelong bond between two people, so, it’s more of a protective thing. Like a brother and sister relationship. So I couldn’t allow myself to think ahead and go beyond that. I think Bill did a great job with it, because it is delicate.

 

Meeting Kristen for the first time?
I was nervous, I was the youngest. I think it was a little awkward when we first met each-other. We were shooting on the beach in terrible weather and I was wearing a nasty wig. Ever since then it’s been great!

 

Working on a big franchise?
It was an amazing experience being able to play a character across five movies. I love Jacob, he has so many qualities that I wish I had. His loyalty, his persistence, he’s going to be a tough character to say goodbye to.

 

Relationships with the other actors?
Our friendships will go on forever. I find it amazing that this cast meshed so well! We are so thankful for that, we have a blast everytime we film these movies, everytime we promote them. The relationships are what I’ll cherish most.

 

What was it like shooting the scene where you phase into a wolf in front of Charlie?
Billy is one of the coolest people alive. It’s always uncomfortable to take your shirt off, and I’m the only one in just jean shorts! This was a new one, the pants came off in the scene too. I was so nervous, because it was written so hilarious. I wanted it to come across that way. It was a blast to shoot!

 

The scene where Bella is yelling at Jacob about imprinting?
It was my favorite scene. In the book it was so awesome, and I’m so happy with how it turned out. Just the visual of Bella chucking me around like that! I think Kristen had a lot of fun with it.

 

You came close to not getting the role, can you talk about what your life would be like id you hadn’t gotten it?
Not really! I had amazing support, and I had to do a lot to make it happen. Every burger patty, day in the gym, protein shake. I remember it all! I just had one goal and went after it.

 

Filming both films (Part 1 & 2) at once?
It was tough. Some days you’d film part one in the morning, and you’d break and have lunch, and then you’d be filming a scene from part 2. So it’s a completely different Jacob in Part 2, I just had to really focus. For that, having Stephenie on set was helpful as well. I loved playing Jacob in this one, he had a great new side to him, he knew where his place was in the world. A large weight lifted off his shoulder, and I loved playing the comic relief.

 

Greatest thing you’d take from this experience?
We can pick certain extents of how I wanted to challenge ourselves. So I can’t be more thankful for all this franchise has given me.
