Maybe it’s because I’m a little naive, but I do like to think that there aren’t really very many truly bad people in the world. I think that everybody has their reasons for what they do, and if you really look through their eyes, you could probably understand them. Stephenie Meyer Read Quote
If I were to continue on with ‘The Host,’ which is a possibility, there are characters and stories that could continue… If I went ahead with that, it would be two more… Next would be ‘The Soul,’ and then ‘The Seeker.’ Stephenie Meyer Read Quote
With ‘Twilight,’ I felt the actors needed to be up-and-coming artists that haven’t been recognized yet. Stephenie Meyer Read Quote
With ‘The Host,’ I think the actors could be really big names. That would be cool. I’d love to see Robert Redford put on a beard and be Jeb; he would be amazing… Matt Damon has some very Jared-esque qualities, and then Casey Affleck as Ian and Ben Affleck as Kyle. Imagine the interplay. Stephenie Meyer Read Quote
I’d really like having a couple days of being a rock star, although I’d rather be a backup – like maybe the drummer for Muse… It would also be fun to be gorgeous, like be Charlize Theron, just for a couple of days. Stephenie Meyer Read Quote
I always write things that entertain me, and one of the things that I find really enjoyable to explore is the idea of love. I like looking at my own life and my friends and family and how love changes who you are. It fascinates me. Stephenie Meyer Read Quote
Being Mormon is a big part of who I am, and I try very hard to live the right way, but I don’t know that I’m an example. I hate to say, ‘Yes, look at me. I’m a good example of being Mormon.’ I want to be the best person I can be, so in that aspect, maybe I’m a good example. Stephenie Meyer Read Quote
I don’t want to be a vampire. A lot of other people do and I think it’s that dual nature – we have, you know, terrifying/intriguing. Stephenie Meyer Read Quote
And then writing, it was like I just found it, you know? Like you just found your favorite flavor of ice cream, all of a sudden there it is. ‘This is what I should have been doing for the last thirty years. What was I thinking?’ So I was, then I was in and then I had to just keep going with it. Stephenie Meyer Read Quote
What’s funny about that is when I was writing Twilight just for myself and not thinking of it as a book, I was not thinking about publishing, and yet at the same time I was casting it in my head. Because when I read books, I see them very visually. Stephenie Meyer Read Quote
