Do you think Kristen evolved as an actor in this movie?
I’m not sure she evolved as much as she had room to run. She’s a thoroughbred as far as actors go. To me, she can do know wrong. The experience of working with her and the caliber of work she was doing was pretty extraordinary. Let’s put aside girl in love with a vampire, her ability to manifest these emotions below the surface, above the surface just to get things right. She’s extraordinarily exacting of herself and in those moments where I was able to give her the room to do that are things I’m very proud of. That’s a high point.

It seems that every director that has worked with Kristen really has a lot of respect for her talent. She is my favorite actor in the Twilight Saga. I get the impression that she has an excellent work ethic.
Kristen is my favorite as well. She did an amazing job in New Moon. What a blessing to have that kind of talent. She is so gorgeous.
I just want to congratulate Kristen for a job very well done!!!!

She’s extremely talented…I predict that she’ll be in the game longer than all of the other Twilight actors…I see Rob more as a director/producer type…
