Taylor Lautner

'The constant tension going on between Jacob and Edward is hilarious.'

TAYLOR LAUTNER'S STYLE HIGHS AND LOWS

Taylor Lautner

'I really do like him [Jacob]. But the only thing, and this is what all the fans would say, is in Eclipse, when he pushes himself onto Bella and forces her to kiss him. That wasn't such a good move, but it's okay,  it's one mistake, and he learned from it.'

Kristen Stewart

'It was amazing playing a mother. I wasn't just playing a mom who has a different storyline; it was so much about that identity as a woman and that almost feral instinct.'

Taylor Lautner

'I can't imagine filming this franchise if the whole cast wasn't so close of friends. It would be a nightmare. Rob, Kristen, and myself are really close. It helps a lot.'

Taylor Lautner

'I just remember when it started getting closer to the finish of filming I kept telling myself, "All right, it's time to start soaking up every moment because I know that when this finishes I'm going to want to go back in time and do this again."'

TAYLOR LAUTNER'S STYLE HIGHS AND LOWS

Taylor Lautner

'The fact that we're [Robert, Kristen and Taylor] close and can talk things through in rehearsals, and if we're out at dinner, we'll just randomly start talking about the scene we're shooting the next day. . . . If we weren't able to do those things, I don't know where we'd be.'

Kristen Stewart

'After my true final scene [as human, Bella Swan], I felt like I could shoot up into the night sky and every pore of my body would shoot light. I felt lighter than I've ever felt in my life.'

Robert Pattinson

'I pity the person who takes over my part [if another actor were to play Edward]. I would destroy them. I would make a campaign against them.'

Taylor Lautner

'The quote I love the most is Jacob's quote: "Does my half being naked bother you?" That quote just cracks me up.'

Kristen Stewart

'I f*****g love me a vampire. Vampires are a little dangerous, and we girls like to test ourselves.'

Robert Pattinson

'The hardest scene to film was probably the birth scene in Breaking Dawn- Part 1, mainly because it was hilarious, and it was supposed to be really serious.'

Robert Pattinson

'I didn't want to do a stupid teen movie. I specifically hadn't done anything which anyone would see since 'Harry Potter' because I wanted to teach myself how to act. I didn't want to be an idiot.'

Robert Pattinson

'The more I read the script, the more I hated this guy [Edward], so that's how I played him, as a manic-depressive who hates himself. Plus, he's a 108-year old virgin, so there's clearly some issues there.'

Kristen Stewart

'If you don't get to play the part that really compels you then they might die right on the page and no one gets to experience them as you have and that was much stronger than my ideas about the [Twilight] fans.'

Robert Pattinson

'There are a lot of moments when Edward sort of acts like a p***y. I mean, throughout the whole series.'

Robert Pattinson

'After every take [in Breaking Dawn Part 1] there was polite applause. And it wasn't hysteria. It was literally devotion to the characters. It was amazing. I haven't felt that in any other situation.'

Robert Pattinson

'I spent a long time trying to figure out how to play [Edward] without making a fool out of myself. The whole book is written from Bella's perspective and she's in love with him. I mean, the guy can be anybody -- he could be an alien -- and you see past everything if you're in love with someone.'

Kristen Stewart

'The [Twilight] script was forced on me. It was in a stack of studio movies of Smart options for Kristen; I thought "This is crap, you're going to present a completely ideological idea of love to 11-year-olds and that's so not right."'

Taylor Lautner

'Eclipse is my favorite, because it's the most guy-friendly by far. It's dangerous. There's a lot of action. The romance is still there, but the action level is stepped up way more.'

Kristen Stewart

'Bella has given me everything. Thanks to Bella, I don't have to fight for every role I want to play.'

Kristen Stewart

'Twilight is really huge right now and everybody's freaking out over it, but it will go away soon and I will be back to doing what I'm used to doing - which is weird little movies that nobody sees.'

Kristen Stewart

'I was nervous for the wedding scene [for Breaking Dawn Part 1] when I looked at the set, with the pews and the lights, and I could see everyone was there in all their outfits, I cried. God, that f*****g dress! I was stuck in that thing for a week; I could hardly move.'

Kristen Stewart

'When you try to sum up this movie [Twilight] in a couple sentences, it sounds trite and superficial.'

Robert Pattinson

'I think I definitely look older in this one [New Moon]. But then I look younger in the third one, [Eclipse] which is just weird.'

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart-garticle

'The power balance between these two characters [Edward and Bella] I like the idea that it she wears the pants in this relationship.'

Taylor Lautner

'It is a little awkward for me to watch myself [shirtless] and, actually, when we're filming those scenes.'

TAYLOR LAUTNER'S STYLE HIGHS AND LOWS

Bella and Edward, Twilight

On and off screen, Bella (Kristen Stewart) and Edward (Robert Pattinson) have kept us guessing about their back and forth relationship. You can't deny the chemistry between these two characters and although we can only assume they'll live happily ever after when the fifth film finishes, we totally believe they will.

Kristen Stewart

'We set up an ideological idea of love and they're [Bella and Edward] are devoted, to play that I needed to believe in that. Girls don't always chose the easy thing!'

Taylor Lautner

'The coolest thing about the series is that we stay very true to the books; it would be silly for us not to, because the books are exactly what the fans want to see. There's an action side to it, which I love, and there are werewolves now. There aren't just vampires. There's a wolf pack.'

TAYLOR LAUTNER'S STYLE HIGHS AND LOWS

Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart & Taylor Lautner

'Most of the time I could relate [to Jacob], but there are moments where I'm just like "Dude, you've got to get over it. She's married now. This is her honeymoon. It's about time to move on."'

Robert Pattinson

'There?' such a funny reaction to Twilight it's like Marmite they're like totally obsessed by it or they're blindly hating it.'

Kristen Stewart

'I feel like maybe I brought too much of myself to the character.'

Robert Pattinson

'I'd read the book and couldn't really picture myself in the role of this handsome, perfect guy.'

Kristen Stewart

'With Twilight we all really got lucky. It is a rare thing on a movie, when it hits and it gives you freedom. Because of Twilight I could make a film like Welcome to the Rileys.'

Kristen Stewart

'I do really enjoy playing this role. We got to do it for four years. When you do that, even though it is a bummer to walk away, I look back on it so fondly that I hold it and it's something I'll always have.'

Robert Pattinson

'I didn't know how big it was going to be. Now it's this huge thing and me getting the part was a complete fluke.'

Kristen Stewart

'Masses of girls identified with Bella in a really profound way, for want of a better word. The connection that I've seen people have - I've seen it physically. It's the characters they're flipping for.'

Kristen Stewart

'Twilight deals with the universe, and what life is about. You can make that cliche and make it with everything being on the surface, or in this case make it a pretty triumphant love story.'

Robert Pattinson

'Jacob just wants to give and doesn't ask for anything in return. That's the best kind of relationship.'

Taylor Lautner

'I'm like Jacob's Native American side. I'm very friendly, outgoing, energetic and easy to talk to. But playing the werewolf side, where he's holding all this anger and stuff inside him, that'd be very different for me.'

TAYLOR LAUTNER'S STYLE HIGHS AND LOWS

Taylor Lautner

'Before I was cast I hadn't even heard of Twilight. So then when I was actually cast I did my research, and I was like, "Oh, what am I getting myself into" I'm just excited to be a part of it now.'

Taylor Lautner

'I can't imagine filming this franchise if the whole cast wasn't so close of friends. It would be a nightmare. Rob, Kristen, and myself are really close. It helps a lot.'

Robert Pattinson

'People sent me hate mail and the internet was full of messages from Twilight fans who didn't want me. But then the trailer came out and everything turned around. I started getting love letters and fan mail instead of hate mail.'

Taylor Lautner

'There are many things that I look up to Jacob for. Jacob's one of the most loyal people, one of the most persistent people. He has amazing qualities to him that I hope I can learn from him and input into my own life which is kind of cool.'

TAYLOR LAUTNER'S STYLE HIGHS AND LOWS

Kristen Stewart

'Me and Rob got into a lot of trouble [in Twilight]. We wanted it to be not so polished. [The studio] wanted me to smile all the time. They wanted Rob to be not so brooding. We were like, "No! You need to brood your ass off."'

Taylor Lautner

'I felt bad for Jacob just reading the books, but now that I'm actually living this character, I feel so bad for the guy! It's really sad.'

TAYLOR LAUTNER'S STYLE HIGHS AND LOWS

Robert Pattinson

'I found Edward quite a restrictive character but in Breaking Dawn he kind of loosens up about everything. I mean, it's almost impossible not to when you're delivering babies and, you know, Bella is dying and all this stuff is happening.'

Robert Pattinson

'I wanted to have "I bit through all the pillows. Every. Single. One." as a line so much [in Breaking Dawn Part 1], And then [Edward would] start crying. By the way, that's what he should be ashamed of in the morning. All those beautiful pillows! Egyptian cotton! I ruined this bed!'

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart-garticle

'We ruined plenty of takes [in Eclipse] just because we couldn't do the tense scene when I enter shirtless I get a slap on one of my breasts by Rob and I got to look him straight in the eye and say "I'm hotter than you" there's been such funny moments!'

Kristen Stewart

'I thought we were making a cult movie; I had no idea it was going to be this, like, phenomenon.'

Taylor Lautner

'I'm like Jacob's Native American side. I'm very friendly, outgoing, energetic and easy to talk to. But playing the werewolf side, where he's holding all this anger and stuff inside him, that'd be very different for me.'

TAYLOR LAUTNER'S STYLE HIGHS AND LOWS

Kristen Stewart

Before she hit the Hollywood big time Kristen had a small part in The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas where she played the ring toss girl. Thankfully she found Twilight shortly after. 


Robert Pattinson

'The annoying thing about him [Edward] is that that the fans' perception of him is that he's this perfect guy, but whenever I read the books, he doesn't seem like the perfect guy at all.'

Robert Pattinson

'I have never understood the fascination with vampires though. I mean, people are obsessed and I don't know why.'

Taylor Lautner

'Before I was cast I hadn't even heard of Twilight. So then when I was actually cast I did my research, and I was like, "Oh, what am I getting myself into?" I'm just excited to be a part of it now.'

Taylor Lautner

'We didn't know what to expect when we were making Twilight we didn't know it would have a reaction like this. We felt more pressure with New Moon, we were aware of what we were doing.'

Taylor Lautner

'My last scene with Rob and Kristen was a scene where I was dancing with Kristen and I'm saying goodbye to her - she's getting ready to leave and go on her Honeymoon. It was a pretty emotional scene for Jacob, so it wasn't fun doing that, when it was actually me saying goodbye to filming with Kristen and Rob as well.'

Robert Pattinson

'It's just so nice being in a supporting role. There was so much pressure on Taylor for this one [New Moon], and it's like, he didn't have a single bad day the entire shoot. I just stroll onto set, I'm like, "Oh, I've got one line!"'

Taylor Lautner

'Taylor was a kid when I met him, and after New Moon, he literally wasn't a kid anymore. Meeting him was very strange. I was like, "Really" I fought for it, actually. I knew, with both of them [Taylor and Robert].'
