She says, “[It] is the one book in the series that I was intimidated by – in a good way. That’s the best feeling to start a movie with. But probably, my favorite line in the book is when I have to say to [Jacob], ‘It’s him; it’s always been him!’ Like, I have to say that. Yeah, it killed me, it killed me.”

Continuing to dish about her “New Moon” role, Miss Stewart adds, “Just like everything in our movie, it’s such a heightened version of reality. It’s like, people don’t just break up [in the “Twilight” films] – they break up and it literally kills you. It’s not like you just say, ‘Oh, I’m really depressed and crying.’ Everything is supposed to be a fantasy version of that. So I always had a really hard time figuring out, ‘Am I doing enough? Do I look like I’m going to die?'”
