If you didn’t get a chance to listen to the audio here’s a clean transcript from IESB.net from this weekend’s press conference:
Q: How was it to make New Moon with a new director and a new story that has a whole different emphasis?
Ashley: This go-around, I think we were all a little bit more prepared, which was nice. In the first film, we were all going, “What’s going on? What’s happening?” And, we had the support of the fans behind us. In the first one, we were going, “Oh, God, we hope they don’t hate us,” and they completely embraced us. So, going into the second one, I think it was a much more fun, relaxed experience, at least for me.
Q: How was that different from working with Catherine Hardwicke?
Ashley: I think Catherine was thrown into it just as much as the rest of us. So, as the rest of us, she was kind of going, “Oh, my gosh, what’s happening?”
Q: Ashley, did you have any input into Alice’s wardrobe because she’s so stylish?
Ashley: Yeah, they definitely ask our input. We have a little bit of input in it. I don’t think it’s any secret that I really adore Audrey Hepburn, so I asked that maybe they throw that in there a little bit. And, I think Jackie O. was thrown in there a little bit. I loved it. I wanted to take my wardrobe home with me, each day.
Q: Was that you driving that car? What was that like?
Ashley: It was me driving the car, which scared all of the producers. Two takes and it was over.
