Fictional character Quote by Stephenie Meyer
“With Rob actually, we sat down and talked about Edward's character before the filming started and I'd just come in and met everyone. It wasnt an argument, but we actually disagree on his character. I'd be like, 'No, this is how it is.' Hes like, 'No, it's definitely this way.' And the funny part about it, you know, is here we are arguing about a fictional character and yet in the performance he did what he wanted and yet it was still exactly what I wanted. So that was really cool.”
