She’s the world’s most favorite sister, The Twilight Saga: New Moon’s Ashley Greene, chatted it up with About.com, on the directors, paparazzi and of course the adoring fans. Here’s a bit from the interview about her work with New Moon director Chris Weitz–
And your character gets to do so much more in this one, so that must have made it a lot more interesting.
Ashley Greene: “Yes, it was fun, and you know what? I’m glad it happened when it happened though, because during the first one I was so new and nervous and just going, ‘What the heck is going on?’ But by the time I got to the second one, I was a little more grounded and had my bearings a little better. Plus, Chris Weitz was incredible. You couldn’t ask for a better director.”
Can you compare him to Catherine Hardwicke?
Ashley Greene: “Chris and Catherine are just so separate and different. They’re both incredible, but Catherine is so high energy and she’s kind of all over the place. I just don’t understand how the woman goes and goes and goes. And then you get Chris and he is the most Zen, calm person ever. He’s very like, ‘This is here and this is there. We’re going to try this. If you don’t like it, then…’ But he’s just so Zen. It’s so funny, the difference between the two. And then I think Chris had a lot more preparation.”
“I think that Catherine, the kind of nice thing about it is that she was going through this crazy madness with us, going, ‘What the heck is going on?’ And so that was actually kind of cool because we could all relate on that level. And then Chris had time, and he definitely did his homework. He came with a packet of what he wanted to do. The mood and everything, it was just very [calm]. He was very respectful.”
She’s such a gem, anything including Ashley Green I’m all ears. She is the sweetest, kindest gal around, not to mention humbled by all this. For the entire interview check out About.com

We are on Chapter 16 of our countdown that means 9, YES 9 more days until the release of New Moon,we are in the single digits folks! Join us by reading a chapter a day together. So in order to help pass the time while we wait for New Moon to be released, I will continue to post a thread everyday for each chapter in the book, counting down the days until the official release of the film on November 20th.
Chapter 16: Paris
“It was a black car-a car I knew. I might be the furthest thing from an autophile, but I could tell you everything about that particular car. It was a Mercedes S55 AMG. I knew the horsepower and the color of the interior. I knew the feel of the powerful engine purring through the frame. I knew the rich smell of the leather seats and the way the extra-dark tint made noon look like dusk through those windows.”
Shh, she’s coming. Tomorrow my lovlies! I had to do that guys, I just had to. Let’s just get through this chapter & be fair to the wolf pack lovers after all they have been excellent in this book.
First of all Jacob does an amazing job, saving Bella from drowning. This better be in the movie and I want detailed scenes!
Bad news is Harry Clearwater has a heart attack
I thought it was too cute when Jacob & Bella went back to the Blacks’ home, Jacob didn’t even stretch out across his bed, he simply crashed on the floor of all places, next to Bella’s feet
Bella reflected on Romeo & Juliet for too many pages for my taste & I simply skipped it all
It’s official Harry Clearwater has passed away Now Harry played such an insignificant role in the saga, but it’s Harry Clearwater man! I hated that he died
Pg 374-375 Bella finally professes her love for Jacob(In her own Bella way). “I couldn’t imagine my life without Jacob now-I cringed away from the idea of even trying to imagine that. Somehow, he’d become essential to my survival. But to leave things the way they were…was that cruel, as Mike had accused? I remembered wishing that Jacob were my brother. I realized now that all I really wanted was a claim on him. It didn’t feel brotherly when he held me like this. It just felt nice-warm and comforting and familiar. Safe. Jacob was a safe harbor.” “I would have to commit to this-commit as much of me as there was left, every one of the broken pieces. It was the only way to be fair to him. Would I? Could I? Would it be so wrong to try to make Jacob happy? Even the love I felt for him was no more than a weak echo of what I was capable of, even if my heart as far away, wandering and grieving after my fickle Romeo, would it be so very wrong?” Umm yes Bella it would be! smh
Pg. 376 Even though he has proved it over and over(which is never enough for a greedy gus like me) I think this is where it finally sunk in for me, just how deep Jacob’s love for Bella truly is. “Sorry I know you don’t feel exactly the way I do Bells. I swear I don’t mind. I’m just so glad you’re okay that I could sing-and that’s something no one wants to hear.” Cuuuute
Pg. 377“What’s wrong?” “Vampire.” His eyes were wild, raking the dark street. He barely seemed aware of the tremors that were rolling through his body. “Phase or get her out of here?” Ok folks this is freaky. Who is Jacob talking to? This is the thing that scares me about young wolves, they aren’t completely in control of their emotions yet. I honestly thought Jake was going to morph right then and there and fly out of the truck window lol.
Pg. 379 Attention: The honeymoon is over. This is where it all goes south for me, and where my love/hate relationship with Jacob begins. “There’s a vampire in your house, and you want to go back?” “Of course.” “You’re sure it’s not a trick?” “It’s not a trick. It’s Carlisle. Take me back!” “No. Take yourself back, Bella…Bye Bella, I really hope you don’t die.” Wtf? Seriously Jacob? Was all that necessary?
Pg. 381“Suddenly something Jacob had told me this afternoon echoed in my head, finally sinking in…”She took off into the water, he’d said. The bloodsuckers have the advantage there. That’s why I raced home-I was afraid she was going to double back swimming.” My hand froze in its searching, my whole body froze into place, as I realized why I recognized the strange orange color in the water. Victoria’s hair, blowing wild in the wind, the color of fire. She’d been there. Right there in the harbor with me and Jacob. If Sam hadn’t been there, if it has been just the two of us…?”
Like I said before, the honeymoon is over, but I also meant between myself and the wolf lovers, because this is where all my issues begin. I will never make an excuse for Bella, she is the hottest mess I think all of us can agree on that. But Jacob oh Jacob. Correct me if I’m wrong, but he can’t risk breaking the treaty because his enemy “might” be in the Swan house? He didn’t even stick around to make sure it was Carlisle or Victoria. “Bye Bella, I really hope you don’t die.” What was that? So he just leaves? Treaty or no treaty, don’t you at least have to make sure? Can he not smell the difference in vamps? He’d been chasing Victoria for weeks now, couldn’t he decipher one vamp smell from a fresh one? After all, he did know 2 vampires had returned to Forks when Laurent came to town. I know you all have tons to say, and feel free, maybe you can put me in my place and shut me up…good luck with that lol…Love you guys!!
