Ashley Greene: "I want to pinch myself sometimes because I'm in this phenomenon. People are going, 'Are you going to get pigeonholed?' But Alice is in the limelight, but she's not in the limelight enough that she can't just be Alice. And she is a best friend character and she's so relatable. I'm just lucky."
Plus, you had all the cool clothes to wear in this one.
Ashley Greene: "Oh my god, that wardrobe!"
It was gorgeous. Did you get to keep anything?
Ashley Greene: "I got to keep some of the stuff in the second one. But it’s hard because you never know if you're going to re-shoot, and so they want to keep the clothes. And then because of how crazy this whole thing is, it’s really hard."
You look absolutely gorgeous in New Moon.
Ashley Greene: "Thank you."
And you get to drive a Porsche.
Ashley Greene: "I get to drive a Porsche. I got to go to Italy, I got to wear amazing clothes."
You couldn't ask for anything better?
Ashley Greene: "No."
So how was driving that Porsche?
Ashley Greene: "A little intimidating. It’s like a piece of machinery. It’s metal over turbo and they only had one, so they were like, 'If you crash this, you'll ruin the movie.' And I had to drive it and there were pedestrians and this little, skinny walkway that I'm driving in. But it was really good."
Any near accidents?
Ashley Greene: "Oh yes. They only wanted to shoot it twice and they kept getting closer and closer to the wall. But it looked good and that's all that matters."
If there's anything you want fans to take from the second movie as far relationships, what what would that be?
Ashley Greene: "I think even though they're so desperately and madly in love, they're still true to themselves. You know, she still holds her ground and so does he. They do have compromises, but none of them are ever asking the other one to give up anything. If anything, it’s actually the opposite and they're going, 'No, do not give this up for me. I will not let you give this up for me.' And I think that that's really important in a relationship."
