Many of you watched this press conference live online already, and I've seen the videos, and it was pretty much mass confusion all around due to a poor translator. However, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner held their own during the press conference in Mexico City. Here are a few of the highlights courtesy of Twilight Poison:
"What is it like to be a girl who loves a wolf? What is it like to play a wolf? What real life things do you use for this performances?" actors can't understand the horribe translator, translator asks fan to reformulate her question, fan asks "what is it like to play a girl who related herself to vampires and wolves, and how has thing affect your life?".
Kristen: "To a certain extent it's hard to play these characters. We were actors before making this movie. The fact that he's a vampire defines pretty well the situation and the relationship (people Lol), and it's easy to be in her shoes. There's other interesting creatures and characters. But Jake is totally the best! (she tells directly to Taylor, they laugh awkwardly.
Taylor: "the series has impacted my life in a huge way, for instance, I'm in Mexico right now (audience cheers). He says he wouldn't be where he is if it wasn't for Twilight. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to visit you guys".
Taylor: "Personally, I wasn't a fan of books or reading. And I started reading Twilight and realized that the story was amazing."
Kristen: "Yes, and characters were easy to relate to. In this production literally everyone was so immersed in reading the books, and obsessed. They didn't just read the script."
Taylor: "We're also promoting the books"
More questions and answers after the jump, plus five videos from the press conference!
11 year old fan asks: "Taylor, would you have liked to play the role of edward?"
Taylor: "Yes, absolutely. I mean, I'm on Jacob's side, but they are complete opposites. Neither of them is better or worse, it all depends on what you like depending on what you're like. I had a lot of fun with Jacob, but I'm curious to see what Edward is like".
Online fan asks: "If you could be another character in the movie, who would you be?"
Kristen says: "Alice. I love that. I would've liked to be Alice".
Taylor: "Is Bella an option? Her character is amazing, her mind is crazy. I would've liked to see what is it like to be in her mind, and what's like to feel what she feels, torn between two people. It would be fascinating but scary".
Fan asks: "Which would be the ideal ending for Bella and Jake in your perspective?"
Taylor: "I don't know. I don't want to force Bella to do something she doesn't want to do. Jake ends up with her daughter (laughs). But if she ended with Jacob it would've been nice. If not, they were not meant to be".
Online fan asks: "If you could choose for Bella, who would you have chosen for her, Edward or Jacob?"
Kristen: "The only way that I can justify her decisions, is that evethough they change, she is in love with Edward and not with Jscob. Who would I choose? I don't know. She has many options, and according to every option, the outcome is different. She needs to follow her heart, even if it's not for the best".
host thanks them for being there and asks for a final round of applause.
Taylor: "Thank you for having us. we've had a lot of fun."
Kristen: "You guys are so amazing, thank you for being so nice".

lovebug says:
I'm not sure what Stewart meant when she said Bella should follow her heart even though it may not be the best? Does she think Bella made the wrong choice? We've all read the books. Edward had his faults, but at least he never tried to force himself on her the way Jacob did. I'm so tired of this glorification of Jacob.(No, I'm not lashing out at TLautner). The guy was a manipulative prick in the books. Do young women not have standards nowadays? I just don't get it???
