Had you read the “Twilight” books before getting the script?

I read the first book in one day, and then before filming, I read the second and the third. Now, I am actually into the fourth. I’m a big fan.

What I liked about the “Twilight” series is that it is kind of a throwback to the original vampire vibe, which is that they are these mysterious, beautiful creatures with sexual undertones. Lately I think vampire movies have kind of gotten a bad rap. When I first heard that my agents wanted me to go up for a vampire movie, I was thinking blood and gore—like, zombie movies. Right away I was like, “No, that’s not for me.” And they said, just read the book.
