“I’m really excited for ‘New Moon,’ ” grinned the 23-year-old star, stopping by MTV’s offices Wednesday to promote the “Twilight” DVD hitting stores March 21. “I go on Sunday the 8th to rehearse and do our screen tests and make sure the contacts fit — which I’m not looking forward to. But we do rehearsals for about a week, and then I go up in April and we start shooting.”

and AnnaLynne McCord are potentials in it, but I think that’s all the stuff like ‘Michael Copon to play Jacob,’ ” he laughed, remembering the actor who had supposedly taken the role from Taylor Lautner. “I’ve known AnnaLynne for years now. It would be fun to work with her, but I won’t have any scenes with her; [she'd be] doing the Italy stuff.

“Her potential character is Heidi. I think they’re looking for someone who is local up in Vancouver,” he revealed of the recent casting scuttlebutt. “I don’t know what the chances are of her getting it.”

Along those same lines, we had to ask Kellan about the rumor that Jacob’s American-Indian friends (including fan favorite Solomon Trimble) are being replaced for the sequels, and he revealed that some unnamed friends are in the running to populate the Quileute tribe.

“I know [casting director] Joseph Middleton has been reading some of my friends for the werewolves’ parts,” Lutz told us, saying that new director Chris Weitz is determined to keep the American-Indian actors genuine this time. “[They're] really sticking to them and making sure of their ancestry, that they are real Native Americans. They asked a buddy of mine to bring in his family tree to show that he was part Navajo! It’s interesting; I really think it is important to have somewhat-real Native Americans to play these roles to some degree, but it’s really interesting to see the way things are handled.”

Asked for the names of his possible Quileute friends, Lutz grinned. “I could tell you,” he replied, “but then I’d have to hurt you.”

The most interesting revelation of our interview, however, might have been for Lutz rather than us. When we asked him about Summit Entertainment’s announcement two weeks ago of the release date for “Eclipse,” the actor was genuinely surprised to hear the news that he’d be immersed in Emmett until at least mid-2010.

“That’s the first time I’ve heard that!” he marveled. “I’m the last to know anything. It’s been funny doing these conventions that a bunch of us castmembers have been doing, to a bunch of states and countries. The fans know more of what’s going on with our jobs than I do!”

Before we get started, I have a question for Kellan from the fans online. They’re wondering if he enjoyed meeting all the UK fans at the Eternal Twilight convention last weekend.

LUTZ:  Oh, yeah. It was in North Hampton, an hour north of London and the population was about 200,000, so it was smaller venue. There was a big turn-out, 800+ people, and we did photo shoots and signings for hours. The Q&A’s were great because it was Peter, myself, Ashley, Justin and Christian, all on stage just having random questions. It was very well organized and a smooth machine. The fans were just great. They had a prom there that night and Peter auctioned off two dances because he wasn’t feeling so well, so he wanted to do that for them. It was such a huge hit that a couple hundred more people purchased tickets for pictures with him. Fans came from LA and we asked them when we had smaller Q&As why they came from LA and they said, “Well, what a great time to see London. I get to do a convention with you guys and then go see Big Ben.” It was a great experience

How have you all of you guys perceived the attention you’ve been getting? Do you find you have it a bit easier than Robert and Kristen or do you still feel like you’re drowning in it?

GATHEGI: A little easier? No man, I can’t imagine what they’re going through. Jokingly, I think Rob can’t leave the house without full security detail. He’s full-blown A-lister, presenting at the Oscars. He’s getting it bad. It comes with the territory though. It’s an icon right now, a full blown pop-culture phenomenon, this movie. I personally can fly a bit under the radar since I look different in person than I do in the film. I’m not wearing huge locks. I think people are starting to know who I am but my character is not big enough or significant enough to garner that kind of public attention. It’s nice when I do, but I can definitely retreat and enjoy a meal at a restaurant.

Those dreadlocks. I’m going to grow them out now. [Laughs.] I get a table at a restaurant, they’ll be like “Edi who?” “Edi dread.” “Oh, This way!”

Regarding New Moon, you’ll all be in the film.

LUTZ: Yeah we’re all confirmed.

LEFEVRE: It’s vampire camp. I keep calling it vampire camp.

LUTZ: It’s nice to be part of it. It’s very similar to the book. I loved the script, we all enjoyed it and I think it’s just great being back together again.

LEFEVRE: Yeah.

Rachelle, you’re badder than ever in this film…

LEFEVRE: Oh yeah, I’m bad. [Laughs.]

How do you get into that mindset?

LEFEVRE: For me I’m not treating it any differently because Victoria’s a vampire. For me it’s very straightforward in terms of what has happened here. The person who I loved and the person who I was going to spend literally eternity with has been taken from me in a pretty horrifying way. It’s something I see as an injustice, and it’s channeling very human emotions because vampires are humans with a virus. For me it’s channeling devastation and revenge. All the darker human emotions.

With this film you’re working with a new director. Can you talk about any differences you’re sensing? Is the vibe any different?

LUTZ: I don’t know if any of us have had the pleasure of meeting Chris.

LEFEVRE: I’ve talked to him on the phone.

LUTZ: Oh, good. You like him?

LEFEVRE: Yeah, he’s great. He’s quite different than Catherine. Because with Catherine there was a real sense of energy coming through. It kind of comes out in a different way with Chris. He’s more measured. I think because he comes from being a writer and has come off of a film like The Golden Compass that he’s just thought it through completely. He’s ridiculously smart. You can tell by talking to him. I think he went to Cambridge. He’s a real intellectual. It’s real interesting because he has a fresh take. At the same time, you can tell that he’s seen the movie, read the book and respects that we’ve already established something, and that it needs to be continued and fans expect some continuity.

Rumors are all over the internet about new casting. Can you talk about any of them, Dakota Fanning, Vanessa Hudgens, etc.?

GATHEGI: I heard the Vanessa Hudgens, Anna-Lynn McCord rumor for the first time today.

LEFEVRE: I heard Anna-Lynn McCord for the first time today. Who was she meant to play?

GATHEGI: Heidi.

LEFEVRE: Oh, I hadn’t heard that one.

GATHEGI: So that’s the kind of loop I’m in. I heard the Dakota Fanning thing and I had a chance to meet her but Kellan asked her about it.

LUTZ: Yeah, we got to talk with her because she wanted to hang out with us, potentially her future cast mates, at the Push premiere. So that was great. It would be an honor to work with her. I’ve grown up watching her films and she’s a brilliant actress. Even in Push she did an amazing job, so for her to play Jane it would only better the film.

LEFEVRE: I keep laughing because, if we got to work with her, she’s done more movies than I have.

There were also rumors about Madonna being involved…

LEFEVRE: I heard that. Did you guys hear that about acting or about the soundtrack.

GATHEGI: I heard the soundtrack. For some reason I thought I saw something about her company producing the first film. I thought I saw that online. I hadn’t heard though.

And yet another rumor is that Drew Barrymore may direct Eclipse…

LUTZ: I only heard that today but I’m very excited about the possibility, if it’s a possibility.

LEFEVRE: For me, she’s one of those actresses that has been doing it since she was 6 years old and has been in movies that I connected with my entire life. I love her work. I feel like she would fit right in with us.

Can you talk about anything on the Twilight DVD that fans might be especially interested in?

GATHEGI: Absolutely! The suggested retail price is $13.99. [Laughs.] It releases March 20th. It’s at midnight, that Friday night. It’s a 2-disc featurette with commentary from the director and Rob. There’s going to be music videos from Linkin Park, Paramore…

LEFEVRE: Kellan wants to invite everyone to his midnight DVD release party. [Laughs.]

Any deleted scenes to look for on the DVD?

GATHEGI: I certainly hope so. I know there’s going to be 5 deleted scenes and some extended scenes in there. I’m going to watch it from beginning to end! There’s a documentary on the DVD. It’s a 7-part documentary, a couple minutes each, kind of following the creation of the entire process. There’s a Comic Con segment where we’re first exposed to the fans.

LUTZ: That’ll be fun for me. Since both of you guys were there it will feel like I was there. Just to feel the craziness of what you guys told me about. It won’t be the same, but still intriguing.

LEFEVRE: I’m still excited to see it because I was there, but I wasn’t there. It was one of those crazy out-of-body experiences. I’m going to watch it and say, “I don’t remember any of that.”

Any chance you might go back to Comic Con this year with New Moon?

LUTZ: I think so. I was so bummed I thought this was the movie to make me go there.

LEFEVRE: I hope so. Maybe we’ll get to go as a whole cast.

GATHEGI: Yeah.

Prior to working on Twilight, were you guys fans of vampire films?

LEFEVRE: I was. Not so much vampire movies for me, but Dracula, Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Movie-wise, yeah. I love it. Interview with a Vampire – I thought it was awesome. Even From Dusk Till Dawn. It caught me completely off guard.

LUTZ: Yeah I wasn’t expecting it to go that way. I love Underworld because [of] my wife—well, when she breaks up with her husband. Kate Beckinsale, just letting you know I’m single.

LEFEVRE: I have to agree with your taste there.

LUTZ: She’s beautiful. I love the accent.

Adn the latex.

LUTZ: Yeah!

LEFEVRE: Her husband, who is a director, will now never hire you!

LUTZ: I heard they broke up?

LEFEVRE: No! What?

GATHEGI: Now he definitely won’t hire you. Wishing ill will on a marriage. [Laughs.]

There was another rumor about Taylor Lautner…

LUTZ: Who’s that?

LEFEVRE: Didn’t he play…

LUTZ: One of the high-school kids? Wasn’t he an extra?

LEFEVRE: I don’t think I liked that kid. He was the really annoying one that kept calling us.

LUTZ: Calling us like, “You want to hang out?” He’s the one that had that weird snorty laugh too.

LEFEVRE: Oh God! That snorty laugh!

LUTZ: I was like, “Is that his character? Him being a high-school kid?” Oh, I hope he’s not…

GATHEGI: [Laughs.] Taylor, of course he’s in New Moon. He is a third of New Moon.

LEFEVRE: We love him.

There was talk about him not being in it. What was that about?

LEFEVRE: They always tell you don’t take it personally but he handled it with such grace. It wasn’t personally. There was no doubt ever that he did a phenomenal job in Twilight. It literally was a physical thing. You open up New Moon and because it’s a book, he doesn’t have to adhere to growth spurts. Over the summer, he’s now 6 foot 5 and 200 pounds and looks 25 years old. They’re concern was what’s going to happen to Taylor. This kid though, he put on 30 pounds of muscle and worked out like mad. He worked on the character and figured out a way to give him a sense of maturity. I wouldn’t be surprised if he gives him a bit of a deeper voice. He’s been working on it and he’s earned himself the role just by telling them he could do it. Since they wanted him anyway it worked out.

LUTZ: He was already working out with this in mind that he would have to become this mature, much more mature, Jacob before he even knew New Moon was green lit.

GATHEGI: The day after we wrapped on Twilight he hit the gym. While we were filming Twilight he didn’t touch the weights, knowing that might have to change his look completely.

If I may switch gears for a moment… Are you guys fans of the horror genre in general?

LEFEVRE: I can’t watch horror movies because when I was a kid I used to watch Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th and I did not sleep for months. There was a scene in one of the Nightmare on Elm Street movies where the girl is taking a bath and Freddy’s hand comes out of the drain. No baths after that. I’m such a lightweight when it comes to that. I have one exception and that is anything with religious content, like The Exorcism of Emily Rose, The Reaping or even Stigmata. Anything with religious content I’m a sucker for.

LUTZ: I’m completely the opposite.

LEFEVRE: Like slashers?

LUTZ: Well, slashers I know are so pretend and I didn’t grow up being scared of the boogeymonster or a monster in my closet. But religious stuff… My family is so religious from the Midwest, exorcism stuff is such a real thing in a way. Bringing the religion to demonic creatures and beings like that is just scary. I feel like when I do watch Exorcism of Emily Rose I can’t sleep, because I felt like I had really seen something I shouldn’t have seen. They’re great movies. It’s funny, what scared me then and what scares me now. I watch Leprechaun now and I’m like, “Why did I like this?” There’s Puppetmaster. I wanted some of those demonic little dolls.

LEFEVRE: Chucky?

LUTZ: But it’s just funny now.

LEFEVRE: I don’t find it funny. I find it creepy. [Laughs.]

Getting back to New Moon… Do you guys find the script to be very similar to the book?

GATHEGI: I read New Moon before I started filming Twilight, so I can’t recall scene by scene but I know the care that Summit is taking care to bring to life the vision and make the fans happy. Chris cares about that too, so I’m sure it will be very close in the same way that Twilight was very close.

LEFEVRE: It’s really similar to what they did for Twilight in a sense that it’s really condensed time. There are certain things that just didn’t make it in or got added. It’s not new. It’s just an amalgamation of things they needed to condense. It’s just a way to move the story forward. Those are the only real changes, in the same way that Twilight was. They take the center of the story, which is the love triangle between Bella, Edward and Jacob and then everything is tailored to fit.

You get to fight werewolves, Rachelle.

LEFEVRE: Uh, yeah!

Are you looking forward to that?

LEFEVRE: Somewhat. Edi and I definitely have some encounters, so I’ll be back at the gym working out, working on the wires.

Will there be even more stunt work for you guys?

GATHEGI: Definitely for me. I didn’t get to do wire work last time.

LEFEVRE: I had some but. All my major fight stuff is in Eclipse. [To Lutz.] You always have fight stuff. You’re the fighter.

LUTZ: I love it.

What do you like best about playing a vampire?

LUTZ: For me, with Twilight, we were these supernatural creatures portraying humans in civilization. I think it’s brilliant and it makes it that much more real. I was having a discussion with, I think it was you Edi, and we were talking about how in Push they had special powers but they weren’t wearing special suits, so I could relate to that. With Twilight you can’t tell we’re different from anyone else in high school. They just think we’re weird and have pale skin.

GATHEGI: I like playing characters of status, kings or people that demand attention. They don’t do much but people respect them. I think it takes it to another level: the evil vampire.

LEFEVRE: Plus it’s closer to how you think people should treat you in your real life. [Laughs.]

GATHEGI: Right. [Laughs.]

Edi, you also recently did My Bloody Valentine. Are you a fan of the genre in general?

GATHEGI: I’m not a fan of the genre in general because I often feel things aren’t plausible in the worlds that they create. I just can’t get into it. If there’s a plausible storyline and things are realistic but there happens to be this fear, I’m a fan of that. That’s why I wanted to do My Bloody Valentine. That’s why I wanted to do Twilight — because it wasn’t about vampires it was about romance.

In general, how do you feel about the rumors of well-established stars joining the film series? Since you guys seem like a tight family unit at this point, are you at all apprehensive ?

GATHEGI: I think it’s cool that we’ve been a part of something that stars are attracted to and want to be apart of.

LUTZ: Yeah that’s really cool. Dakota Fanning, Madonna…

GATHEGI: That’s awesome. I welcome them. The more stars we have the cooler the project can be. I’m not threatened. I’ve got mine, now come get yours.

LEFEVRE: I think also we spent so much time together filming, doing press, hanging out. We’ve really gotten to know each other. The perfect example is…  Rob, for us, isn’t Rob Pattinson. He’s just dorky Rob. That whole thing has been an indication that it doesn’t matter who comes in. We get along, we do our thing, and we have a great time. I think that energy is infectious. No matter who comes on board, even if they come from a bigger status, I think they’d be welcomed.

LUTZ: We do hazing.

LEFEVRE: I don’t care who you are. We will haze you. There’s no hierarchy.

What’s the worst thing you’ve done to a cast member?

GATHEGI: Killed them.

LEFEVRE: Edi named Taylor “two-times-eight” because he’s only 16. He’s the youngest cast member. We never called him by his name, we’d just say “What’s up two-times-eight?” And by the end the press tour he just looked like he was going to throttle us.

GATHEGI: By then we learned that he’s a karate champion two times over so I had to tone that down. Plus he’s not two-times-eight anymore – he’s 17.

LEFEVRE: About Kellan too… Whenever anyone would say, “Where’s Kellan?” I’d say, “I don’t know. Probably bench-pressing the hotel.”

LUTZ: [Laughs.]

LEFEVRE: Where’s Kellan? “Oh, I don’t know. He’s changing the tire on my trailer, on his back.” [Laughs.]

What’s your biggest fear?

GATHEGI: Never working again.

C’mon now — a realistic one.

GATHEGI: Oh, thank you. I’ll go last on this one…

LUTZ: It used to be death but now it’s… I guess losing someone, or not being able to help someone out because they have a disease or something that you can’t do anything about. It’s that waiting period and you can’t fix it. Helplessness.

LEFEVRE: That’s a thoughtful answer and now I’ll be a bit dark. I don’t know what it is, but we’re pushing the racy envelope, and as a woman I feel like everyday I’m bombarded with images of women being attacked, whether it’s sexually or domestic. I don’t know. I just feel like everywhere on TV and movies, it’s just so pervasive. It’s the woman, or the lone woman, being stalked and then attacked. It started to really get under my skin, and I notice just walking down my street I started to feel afraid everywhere I went. Now I just won’t watch things that have those pervasive images in it. As soon as I eliminated watching those things I started to regain a sense of self. The world isn’t as safe as we want it to be, but its okay to walk my dog around the park.

GATHEGI: Barnacles.

LEFEVRE: [Laughs.] That they’ll attach onto your ankles?

GATHEGI: I just get the heebie-jeebies when I see things with raised surfaces and patches. The hair on the back of my neck stands up and I get very incapacitated. I hate barnacles. Anything that looks like a barnacle. You burn a bagel and it gets bubbly and raised. It freaks me out. Otherwise I’m not scared of anything. [Laughs.]

So far, audiences seem sold on the film, sight unseen. Twilight cost $37 million to make, but judging from the groundswell of support from Meyer’s fans—many of them teenage girls—producers should have little trouble recouping their costs, especially considering the ensemble cast of young male heartthrobs they’ve assembled. Meyer may not be J.K. Rowling, but she’s certainly no slouch. The final book in the series, Breaking Dawn, sold about 1.3 million copies on the day it was released last August (about a sixth of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows’ first day). Translation rights to the books have been sold in thirty-three different countries, and the second, New Moon, spent thirty-three weeks on the New York Times children’s best-seller list. Vampire stories have some staying power—especially vampire stories about lovelorn kids.

In adapting the first book, Hardwicke and screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg opted to stay faithful to Meyer’s narrative. (Probably a wise decision, considering how rabid the readership is.) Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) is an average teen living in Phoenix who decides to move to her father’s house in Forks, Washington, a dreary place where it rains three-quarters of the year, to give her mother and her new stepfather time to travel. At school, Bella meets Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), an alluring and initially distant presence, whom she begins to suspect is a vampire. As it turns out, Edward belongs to a coven of beautiful vegetarian vamps—a family of sorts, brought together by a shared mandate to drink animal blood instead of the human kind.

The two begin a relationship, fraught with all the usual, uh, interfaith difficulties. Meanwhile, a rival group of equally beautiful but less friendly bloodsuckers descends on the town, one of whom decides to hunt Bella for sport. The chase is on, and it’s up to Edward to save her. “It’s just such a great metaphor for unrequited love,” says Rosenberg. “Bella feels very normal, and that can be hard when she’s surrounded by these modelesque figures, who are so difficult to relate to physically. It’s the same for any kid growing up in L.A., when you’re surrounded by models and actors.”

Perhaps energized by the beauty-myth subtext and the allure of forbidden love, Meyer’s fan base has proven to be an active one. Groups like Twilighters, Twi-Hards, and even Twilight Moms have organized online, and in July they flocked to San Diego’s Comic-Con, where Meyer, Hardwicke, Rosenberg, and members of the principal cast showed footage and took questions from the crowd—at least when they could be heard over the screams. The response to actors Robert Pattinson, Cam Gigandet, and Taylor Lautner was “a little like the Beatles on Ed Sullivan,” Rosenberg recalls. “It was insanity.” The coming-of-age story’s sequels have yet to be planned, but given the reaction so far, Hardwicke is sanguine about her chances of revisiting the series. “I mean,” she says, “who wouldn’t want to be bitten on the neck by a handsome vampire?”

TWILIGHT IS OUT IN NOVEMBER 2008 FROM SUMMIT ENTERTAINMENT

See all 11 photoshoots by VMAN Magazine

It’s 5 p.m and Taylor Lautner is the first to arrive at the Venice, California studio for our CosmoGirl shoot. A few minutes later, his Twilight costar Kellan Lutz walks in. The guys high-five and joke about how Robert Pattinson – their other costar – is always late. By 6:30, I’m getting a little impatient because we’re still waiting for our lead vampire. Finally, Robert tiptoes in, sleepy-eyed and full of apologies, “Sorry, I overslept,” he explains in his sexy British accent.

He’s so charming that my aggravation immediately vanishes. I totally see why Kristen Stewart’s character, Bella, would want to spend an eternity with this guy, vampire or not. As the three actors change into jeans and white shirts, every girl on set finds an excuse to sneak into the dressing room, hoping to get a peek. Then – as if on cue, just around twilight – Rob, Kellan and Taylor emerge. Check out what we chatted about during the shoot.

Q: So how would you describe your three characters?
Rob: [My character] Edward is the conflicted and reluctant vampire. He’s a poet, and very deep and profound. He’s just extraordinarily troubled.
Kellan: Emmett’s the tough guy, the protector, but he’s a big old teddy bear to his little brother. He’s a goofball, but when he snaps, he’s menacing and there’s no stopping him.
Taylor: Well, in the first film, Jacob is a normal high school guy – outgoing, friendly, and loyal. I’m a lot like him in Twilight, but I’m excited to play him in the sequels as his character evolves.

Q: Are you at all similar to your characters?
Kellan: Rob is definitely Edward. He’s so complicated, so poetic… I mean, you cannot help but like this guy! I’d say I’m definitely the protector type. I have six brothers and one sister, and I got beaten up a lot because I was in the middle. But then I learned to defend myself.
Rob: Yeah, Kellan protects me all the time. It’s like having a globe around me. Really, he’s like a globe of protection!

Q: Twilight isn’t just a “vampire movie”, it’s a love story. Do you guys like romantic films?
Taylor: I really liked Enchanted. In fact, I’ve seen it five or six times.
Kellan: I like The Notebook, Tristan & Isolde, and Romeo + Juliet. [I enjoy] period pieces that aren’t just about winning the girl but are also about the struggle of class, wealth and privilege.

Q: What about horror movies?
Taylor: My friends just introduced me to how great they can be. I really liked The Hitcher, and Gothika gave me nightmares.
Rob: I don’t like that “hiding behind doors” element when suddenly it’s like “Boo!” I like the more eerie and disturbing horror flicks. One of my favorites is The Exorcist.
Kellan: I love scary movies. I think the pure gore movies are pretty funny. It doesn’t bother me to see someone get their head chopped off.

Q: Twilight’s tagline is: “When you can live forever, what do you live for?” Would you want to live for eternity?
Rob: Uh, yes, I think so, especially if I could turn it on and off. I kind of like the idea that I could see what death is like and then come back again. That sounds good to me. I want to have my cake and eat it too.
Kellan: I can’t wait for the afterlife, to spend eternity wherever it might be. But it would also be cool to live for hundreds of years and get to see how the world turns out. If I could stay 23 years old for 500 years, I’d probably take that deal.

Quotes:

Rob: I never felt like I was making a ‘vampire movie’, even when we were ripping each other’s heads off.

Taylor: I hadn’t heard of the Twilight books before the movie. Now I see girls everywhere reading them. The series is huge!

Kellan: I loved vampires growing up. I dressed up as one for Halloween three years in a row.

From Cosmo Girl – October 2008.

So, without further ado, MTV hereby present the third entry in their “Twilight” Stars Answer Fans’ Burning Questions series. Feel free to keep submitting your wildest queries, and look below for all you’ve ever wanted to know about Anna Kendrick’s lung capacity, Lutz’s love of velour, and RPattz’s promise to suck on your neck. (Head over to the MTV Movies blog for news on special fan events leading up to the “Twilight” premiere.)

Q: “What’s it like kissing the most gorgeous man alive, Robert Pattinson?” – Ceejay
Kristen Stewart (Bella Swan): His teeth are pretty sharp. It’s great. I like it. It’s cool.

MTV: People are also debating whether Edward and Bella will French kiss.
Robert Pattinson (Edward Cullen): It’s more of a Chilean kiss.
Stewart: What’s that?
Pattinson: That just wasn’t funny. Whenever we kiss, I just try to kill her all the time.
Stewart: And I love that. She’s a total sadomasochist, if you think about it.
Pattinson: And I’m just gay.
Stewart: Or impotent.

Q: “Kellan Lutz likes Runts. Do you have a favorite candy?” – Liz
Cam Gigandet (James): It changes a lot, because I do something I shouldn’t do: I will lock in on a candy, and I will eat it until I can never have it again. I don’t know why. I do love cookie dough more than anything in the world, but that’s not really a candy. I would probably say, right now, it’s Heath bars. No, Skor. Skor bars! That’s it for sure.

MTV: Well, Mike Welch was sent thousands of socks after he made a comment about how he needed them. Are you ready for thousands of Skor bars to come your way?
Gigandet: Hmmm … I love Lamborghinis. [Laughs.] I love them, I really do.

Q: “If you had a choice to play any character (gender aside), who would it be?” – Bob
Kellan Lutz (Emmett Cullen): I’d play Rosalie. She’s just so feisty. And you know, to think about the gender thing, playing a female would be quite fun. It would be a stretch for an actor who is male, so yeah, I would enjoy playing your role.
Nikki Reed (Rosalie Hale): Well, thanks, babe.
Lutz: And she has a hot outfit. I’m wearing velour, by the way, so I doubt anyone said Emmett.
Reed: My monkey man! I think I would play Alice. There’s something about Alice that’s just [intriguing]. I’m sure a lot of other people feel this too. Like her psychic abilities … and that she was in a mental hospital. They checked her into a mental hospital before she became a vampire because she could see the future, and so they thought she was crazy.

Q: “Do you have the lung capacity to speak as fast, for as long, as Jessica? Because I don’t.” – Evangeline Annie Van Holzen
Anna Kendrick (Jessica Stanley): It was a cake walk after “Rocket Science”! I remember Stephenie Meyer [being on set] the day that I was doing that big speech about the Cullens. It was just a lot of dialogue. … She is quite a chatterbox, but it wasn’t too bad, because it all seemed to make sense and come from this really sweet, desperate place.

Q: “Are you aware that you’re being stalked?” – Serena
Peter Facinelli (Carlisle Cullen): Am I? Yes, and I wish you would take the tent down from the front of my house — now. That’s kind of rude! No, I had no idea.

Q: “If there were such a thing as vampires, would you want to be turned? – Kristin
Christian Serratos (Angela Weber): I don’t know. I probably would, just out of pure curiosity.

MTV: Would you want to be frozen now or later on in life?
Serratos: There’s a lot of thought that’s going to go into me becoming a vampire. I’d probably wait — no, why not? If I’m going to do something crazy, I’m going to do it now. I’d become a vampire right now.

Q: “If you could describe yourself in three words, what would they be?” – Em
Ashley Greene (Alice Cullen): I would like to think that I’m kind of chipper, upbeat and fun.
Jackson Rathbone (Jasper Hale): Um … I’m a loner who loves company.
Greene: [Laughs.] He’s a weirdo, basically.

Q: Michael, how does working on a production like “Twilight” compare to the work you’ve done in the past? – Ann
Michael Welch (Mike Newton): Well, I started out my career in television, just doing different guest spots. [I] started out with sitcoms. Actually, my first role that I got was as Young Niles on “Frasier,” because when I was younger, I was always doing impressions. That’s how I broke into acting to begin with. That allowed me to break into the sitcom world, and then from there I made the transition into dramas and then got lucky enough to be on a show called “Joan of Arcadia,” which was on for two years. Since then, I’ve been doing independent movies that probably will never come out, most of them. And then all of the sudden, this “Twilight” just came out of nowhere! It’s the biggest thing I’ve ever been a part of, man. It’s so exciting.

Q: “Robert, will you suck my blood out?” – Alley
Pattinson: Yes. Right now? Do they give their addresses and stuff?

MTV: They give their names, and I am sure if you click on MTV.com, you could e-mail any of them.
Pattinson: “Will you suck my blood out?” Is that, like, a worried question? Or is it kind of a desiring question? I won’t if you don’t want me to.
