Kino: The Twilight Saga: Eclipse - Biss zum Abendrot

Zitat

(when asked why the series has such mass appeal) "Well, I mean, I think people — there's a thing about the books where, uh, when I was reading them, I, ugh, I didn't know how to read it from, you know, teenage g—or any woman's perspective, I guess. I don't really know why they like it. But what I thought was weird about it, the, what, the reaction I had with it was...umm.... When I read it, it seemed like (grimaces) I was convinced that...Stephenie was ... convinced that she was Bella, and uh, and you, it wasn't, it was like it was a book that wasn't supposed to be published, like reading her...her sort of sexual fantasy about some—especially when she says that it was based on a dream, and it's like, "Oh, then I had a dream about this really sexy guy" and she just writes this book about it, and there's some things about Edward that are just so specific that it's like, I was just convinced that, that this woman is mad, she's completely mad, and she's in love with her own fictional creation and I—sometimes you, like, feel uncomfortable reading this thing, and I think a lot of people feel the same way, that it's kind of voyeuristic, ah, and it creates this sick pleasure in a lot of ways. But then it kind of introduces a lot of the, the action elements and it's very honest and really really honest and that's kind of what's weird about it."

When you read the book, it's like 'Edward Cullen is so beautiful I creamed myself.' I mean, every line was like that. He's the most ridiculous person who's so amazing at everything. I think a lot of actors tried to play that aspect. I just couldn't do that. And the more I read the script, the more I hated this guy, so that's how I played him, a manic-depressive who hates himself. Plus he's a 108 year old virgin so he's obviously got some issues there."
