SheKnows Twilight's Edward & Bella

As Twilight fever grips the world, SheKnows was front and center with the film's stars that play the iconic characters Edward and Bella in Stephenie Meyer's now-legendary vampire saga.

Bella has a deep thought There are millions of upsides to Twilight fame and for one, Stewart sees them as artistic.

"This is going to make it so easier for me to not be gutted every time a movie I'm in love with is never getting off the ground. I never have to wait for a movie to get money and then become too old for the role or just move on from it," Stewart says. "That, I don't think is going to happen anymore. I'm really thankful for it."

Stewart had not read Twilight before accepting the role. "I frequent used bookstores," she says and laughs. "I was working on other things and I didn't want my focus to go anywhere else, so I didn't even read the script. People were telling me all about it, so I read the script and I was begging for the audition."

Stewart does not believe that Bella's fascination with Edward was unhealthy message for young girls. "She doesn't have a choice. It's something ten feet taller than her," she admits. "It's a physiological need. If he wants to kill her, go for it, because if that's all you can do with me, then that's what I want."

The "perfect man"

In the Twilight books, Edward is a perfect creature. The most gorgeous man you will ever meet. For Pattinson, the most compelling aspect of the Twilight saga was in Edward's response to Bella. "Here's a guy who crumbles at the feet of this normal girl and completely relies on her on everything," he says. "You have this Demigod to the naked eye with superhuman powers, and he really feels he has nothing. And that's where the love story comes from."

Sequels?

It will be interesting to follow a character that long. I started out doing it because I felt a responsibility for her," Stewart says. "We don't know if we're going to make the second one. They don't think we're going to do as well as everyone. I guess when we get the results."

Everyone involved in Twilight should be extraordinarily optimistic for the franchise's future.

Aloha!!! My name is Danielle and i realllllly would absoultly love to the max if i could meet the cast members of twilight. I am a huge fan, but i don't have really ayn chance i mean they are incridalby famous, so why even wish for a dream that big but please if anybody knows how please please tell meeee!!!!!!!!

From the first twilight i fell in love with the movie and robert pattionson.God bless your mother for having you.

Hi again! I'm so sorry, I didn't finish my comment the last time. Actually, I'm not a fan of Twilight. I even favor Harry Potter more than this. But I just wanted to warn my classmates and friends(who are ultra, mega, ultimatum, and super addicted to Edward(Robert Pattinson)), that in choosing the right man for them; they should not only look at his eternal or physical beauty, but most importantly his internal or emotional and mental or inside beauty-- deep within his heart; if he truly and sincerely loves them.

omg!i absolutely love twilight! and now new moon's out now too!i am totally crazy about it.team Edward 4ever!

i love all the twilight shows that there is and i love robert pattinson

Okay!! I have to admit i am obbsessed with Twilight! :) it is the best movie EVER!! i would love to meet Robert Pattinson in person!! :] i would pass out or go crazy. I would talk to him like hes a regular every day person. Thats whats different from crazy fans and fans who care on how they feel..Not just if the actor or actress is hot..and im only 14!! I understand how people want to be treated like every day people like you and me. So im just saying if you ever get the chance to meet Robert Pattinson just talk to him not go crazy over him or chase him. do you know how annoted people get by that?? Well anyways...i do say i LOVE ROBERT PATTINSON!! :] im his BIGGEST fan INin the whole world!! lil ole me from Louisiana not you!!!! i dont care what any of you people say!! i am so get over yourselfs!! remember he wants to be treated like a normal person he has friends and family and he has crushes just like evryone so dont act like a freaking maniac!! be nice and show true hospitality!! you never know what poeple do...they might try and get you a role in the next twilight movie... well thats about all i gotta say so bye!! :) -Samantha all the way from Louisiana!! :] i love you Robert!! :] HATERZ!! :] i can feel your hating on me!! :] dont be!! dont hate appriciate! :] bye darling!! :] once again... i LOVE you ROBERT!! more than your one family!! :] peace hoe!! :]

I LOVE TWILIGHT MORE THAN ANY OF YOU! IT RULES!

wow unelieveable I just love kristen stewart. she is just an amazing actor. If she didn't smoke pot she probably win the hearts of a lot more people. I feel bad for her because people are always pushing her aside for robert. Even if his is really hot kristen stewart has more years of acting on him. but i do think they would make an amazing couple

hi... robert pattinson, why did u cut ur hair? i don't like it:( i like wrighting songs heres one of my songs it's name is... please read:? Twilight saga by: Vicky Le Nguyen

Twilight is so cool. All of my classmates are addicted to it, except for me. Especially Edward, they are dying to have him. They even wanted to be bitten by a vampire as cute and handsome as him. Weird! hand
