This interview with Nikki Reed, Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Rachelle LaFevre, is from 2008 before Twilight was released. It is really cute, I love the way they interact with one another, you can tell they actually like each other and Rob is so funny. Enjoy.
MD: You allegedly sent Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke a letter before you were cast as Victoria. Can you share its contents?
Rachelle LaFevre: The first part of the letter was how much I loved the books. I read Twilight right before my audition, and I read New Moon shortly after. So it was about why my desire to be a part of it was genuine. The second part was how Catherine had been on my wish list of directors since Thirteen and Lords of Dogtown. And lastly, it was about the character. The truth is, [Victoria] was who I felt connected to. Stephanie describes her as always on the balls of her feet, like she could pounce at any moment. She just seemed to be free and instinctive and I was attracted to that.
MD: How would you describe Victoria?
RL: She has been described as evil. But I don’t see her as evil at all. Nature is about a food chain, and she is just at the top of the food chain. Nature doesn’t have those moral applications. It comes down to instinct. And eating something…there’s no malice in it. I just see her as really powerful.
