Fan Questions:
Eric: What was it like to shoot the wedding?
Kristen: I'd been ramping up to shoot that scene for four years. They also put it at the end of the entire filming.. so had to wait so long for it to happen. When I got to set I was just as nervous and terrfiied as I expected myself to be.

Kristen: When I got to set.. it was just so beautiful. I had to go get locked away in a room for the rest of the day because I was locked into my dress and had to protect it. It was secret service style security

Kristen: I ended up being much more relaxed than I thought I was going to be.


Question: Nice hair Rob. What was your initial reaction to reading the Renesme birth scene?
Kristen: I thoguht it was so cool. I think we did try to go as hardcore as we could. It's not your typical birthing scene. It took two days to shoot. Two day labor is really hard (bill condon laughs). In the book, as you all know, she's literally joking on blood. It was always in my head that she's able to fight harder than any human would really be able to.. because it's in her.. literally (huge laughs).

Kristen: In Part 2 I get to play with the venom running through my veins. And that's after a moment of sheer exuberance. Having a calm breath after the birth.


Question: I was very pleasantly surprised by your back muscles in the trailer Rob. I can speak for all of us when I say "nom nom nom" (huge laughs). My question is actually for Kristen. After all these years you got to experience vampire make up. What was that like for you. Was Rob's whining justified or was he being a big baby?
Kristen: So, so justified. You feel locked in there all day. But it helps too because you're so much more aware of your movements. The contacts suck cause you cannot see anything. especially when we both have them in there, we can't see each other.


Question for all: My mom would like to know what was the difference between filming in canada and louisiana?
Kristen: All the exterior stuff was shot in Canada. In Louisiana we were on a stage primarily. Mostly the stuff we had to do inside was kind of more emotional. More based in reality. Not that anything in the story isn't.. it's just personal intimate scenes. It was a different tone change between the two. I was a vampire more in Louisiana which was cool.


Question: I'm so excited for Breaking Dawn. What scene are you excited to reveal to the fans in Part 2?
Kristen: You have to give Bella credit of having semi devine intution at times. She's said at time she's going to times. This time she's willing to


Question: My questions for Kristen. Being pregnant is such a life changing experience. What experiences did you pull from to have that moment?
Kristen: What experiences? Hah. I've been asked recently what it's like to play such a far fetched story. This story feels the most real in terms of what can happen to you in your life. At 18.. it's so very very ossible. It's hard to talk to you about this (the person who asked the question is pregnant). I didn't have any experiences drawn.. there ya go.

Question for Rob and Taylor: How's it like working with such a beautiful cast.
Rob: it's crazy (laughs).

Kristen: that's the first time it's been asked at one of these!

Rob: Not true! I've always been asked.

Taylor: And what do you say?

Rob: Any way to approach this answer is inappropriate or just plain wrong. So.. Taylor you answer!

Rob: it's great, it's nice to be surrounded by hot girls all the time. It's why I became an actor.

Taylor: You summed it up. There could be worse jobs. We have a lot of fun. It is weird. We're all so close.

Kristen: it's so weird that we're all so hot (laughs).

Question from little girl who gets a lot of "awws": Rob.. do you like having the baby with Bella? (awwws)
Rob: The look on your face makes me think you're asking something else (laughs). No i do. I really like babies. I like doing scenes with them too. It was really fun.. especially with this series as well. You're playing this statue-esque guy most of the time. Can't be hard.. but he has the baby and it makes everything more human. And babies.. in terms of acting with it.. they just do their own thing. It's more fun. You're basically improvising.


Question: Thanks for talking to all of us. My question is for the director. What tool did you use to make the movie more like the books. What did you use and what were your inspirations?
Bill: Having Stephenie Meyer there. And also Kristen. She's the biggest fan you'll ever meet. We had a week long process where we talked through the script. We put things backed based on suggestions from Kristen. Then on the day of shooting.. we both spent the night before going through it again. The films are from Bella's point of view so we wanted to get inside her head. That was our mission, right?

Kristen: Yeah. Ultimately you should let moments live. Bill makes it pretty easy. As do all these folks.


Question: For Taylor.. first off, i love you. I was just wondering, what's it like to be such a main focus in the movie and being so in your mind?
Taylor: It's a lot of pressure because there's some great stuff going on down in Brazil. It's interesting to see moments, tidbits from Jacob's point of view to see what he's dealing with. He matures so much. It's interesting to see how he handles situations and how he handles them in the end.

Kristen: Also, to step out of Bella's point of view is quite perfect because she's really withdrawn from everyone. It's good.. she says "everyone go away".. so it's cool to not know what's going on with her. You wonder what's going on with Edward. They're definitely at odds.


Question: I just want to say congratulations to everyone on your success. This is for the panel. Which movie is your favorite in the saga?
Kristen: My favorite book was always New Moon, but I really like Twilight a lot. Catherine did a spectacular job that made it different from the rest of them. I like this one (Part 1) a lot. I just saw it. Seeing them at points that are nostalgic for anyone.. seeing them at weddings, Bella pregnant.. it's weird. It's incredibly connected to it.


Question: I love the audiobooks. Will any of you ever do voiceover acting?
Elizabeth Reaser: I would love to because you can wear sweatpants.
Kristen: Everyone probably would right? I would.


Question: Do you guys use music to get pumped up for the emotional scenes while filming?
Kristen: I definitely use music. I have a perfect story for you actually. On the day we shot the wedding ceremony. There was a perfect song. It'd be great if it was in the mvoie. Band of Horses has this song For Annabelle (spelling?) that should be in the movie. That was one of the most moving experiences. They played it loud and it helped me out.
