I don't know about the movies, but Stevie loved the Twilight books and said so many times. I don't think she should be persecuted for it though. I've read all the books myself. They are not great writing, but are rather addictive.

"It's bittersweet… because I really would be happier if it was not ending. I wish it could go on forever. I think that [Stephenie] is probably… god knows how long it took her to write this. And it's been five years!

It's a huge love story… I was just saying to the last [journalist], it's like Wuthering Heights, it's that kind of story… it's like Jane Eyre… it's a totally timeless kind of story that we can relate to."




I take anything she says about anything or anyone in popular culture at any given moment in time with a large grain of salt. Sometimes it feels like she tries too hard to convey that she's hip with whatever's hot. And she always goes over the top in her gushing... so and so is just "the next Stevie and Lindsey" or "destined to be a star" and blah blah blah and then they fade away..... it's kinda lame really. I mean if she just said "oh I really like so and so's work" or "I find their voice/song/book intriguing" that's cool. But she has to stretch it to "the best" "the most exciting thing I'd ever heard/read/seen" etc etc.....
