Kristen har gjort en intervju med metronews, jag har plockat ut de bästa delarna till er..;) (källa)

What is it like to be back on set doing another Twilight film?

It's a little bit surreal to be back doing a second one, just because it's something that I thought about for an entire year and now it's happening. But it's sort of like I couldn't wait any longer.

It's hard. Usually you finish a movie and there's a very long grieving process. You have to lose the character. You have to drop it from your mind or else it just continues to bug you. In this case, I couldn't drop her completely and I worked in between, which is a strange sensation. It's weird how easy it was to slip right back into it. I don't know if it's because I have such a reference, like the book, or because I knew that I just had to do it. I don't know, but it feels good. It feels like I can finally release the pressure.

What are the changes in this second installment? Your character Bella takes risks again...

Well, she loses what basically gives her the drive to do anything in her whole life. She loses the man she's in love with, but she also loses her entire life plan, and she's so young to have to be forced into a decision like that. It's just a glorified, elaborate version of the worst breakup you've ever been through. All of a sudden you question everything. All of a sudden you know nothing and you're dropped in the middle of a freezing cold ocean.

Oddly, we have a character that's warm enough and bright enough to bring her out of that, and it's truly gut-ripping. Because as perfect as Jacob is for her, she holds on to an ideal, the ultimate fiery love that she has for Edward even though it's not comfortable, it's not practical and it's not a good idea. So it's really a very strong thing to do. It takes someone who really trusts themselves.

So basically the movie starts out and everything's great, and then it gets absolutely terrible, and then it gets maybe OK again, and then it's" no, no, no, no - life is hard." It's going to get hard again because he comes back again.

Is she introverted or just seeking an ideal?

It's not that she's incredibly introverted. She's just yet to have found a connection that is truthful. She's a seeker of the truth. She's not one to get wrapped up in something that is a fantasy. She doesn't set herself up for disappointment. So that's what makes the story with her and Edward so compelling, in that this is a girl that normally wouldn't do something this crazy.

So what does Kristen prefer, the werewolf or the vampire?

Kristen shouldn't open her mouth (Laughs). Kristen is entirely torn. Kristen should stop using her name in the third person.

Do you feel a responsibility towards the author's fans and the movie fans?

Yeah, absolutely. It's a strange thing. You start something and you know that it's going to take on a life of its own, but its already something so whole -- there are so many people that you're going to inevitably either make happy or not. Everyone's understanding of the story and love for it is going to show, even though there are little issues that everyone's going to have because everybody reads the book differently. So of course we have a massive responsibility. Because of them, we're able to do what we like to do.

What was it like coming back to a different director?

As an actor, you don't work with the same director on every film. And this, it's a continuation. It's the same story but it is a different movie. I love Catherine (Hardwicke). She's a dear friend of mine, but Chris (Weitz) - it just works out.

Besides all the technical, logistical reasons, Chris is so devoted and because he's a man, there's a common question. How is it having a man director? Is it a huge difference? You can't make generalizations about people like that. He's one of the most compassionate human beings I've ever met. Unfalteringly compassionate. He cares way too much for the story, and you need that. So he's perfect.

How would you describe it to someone who hasn't read the books or seen Twilight?

Anybody who's ever been broken up with will probably watch this movie, and their temperature will probably go up.

How do I describe this? It's a movie about ultimate devotion being ripped from you and thinking that your entire world that you've established is wrong. And then trying to get it back and realizing that it's all OK. (Laughs) And vampires, werewolves, too, so that makes it even more exciting. Robert Pattinson is just so cute. So is Taylor Lautner. That's what I would tell someone who doesn't know about the movie yet.
