"Gotta Love'Em" found this short interview on an Austrian magazine homepage. It�s about �Eclipse� and the �Twilight Saga� in general. Translation is made by her.
For all GERMAN SPEAKING readers: here is the original interview in german:http://www.nachrichten.at/nachrichten/kultur/art16,427166
TRANSLATION:
2002 Kristen Stewart made her international breakthrough in David Finchers film �Panic Room� alongside Jodie Foster. The role of Bella Swan in Stephenie Meyer�s �Twilight Saga� made her a star overnight.
The role of Bella in �Twilight� made you a star. Do you enjoy your success?
Stewart: I�ve played tons of roles I put everything into but hardly anyone ever saw them. I�m happy that more of my films are being appreciated because of the success �Twilight� has.
The author Stephenie Meyer is said to be very conservative because vampire Edward refuses to have sex before being married and wants to protect Bellas virtue�
Stewart: The characters in the books take completely different moral stands and are from completely different worlds. Bella doesn�t believe in the same values Edward does. She�s practically begging him to sleep with her and tries to convince him to see things from her, more modern, point of view. The same goes for him: He also tries to make her see that he feels that it�s his responsibility to protect her virtue. Although Bella told him that he doesn�t have to worry about that. But Edward does, what Edward does because he loves her and because he�s from another century.
Why, in your opinion, are people so fascinated with this virginal love story?
Stewart: Of course the world we live in is completely different. Nobody has a relationship with a 109-year-old vampire. But that�s what makes the whole story interesting. When you fall in love for the first time you have the feeling that you�re stronger than everybody else. The story projects this unreal feeling of being in love into Edward, who as a vampire has this supernatural power.
