The wonderful Chari (twilight to me) was able to get a short but sweet interview with Nikki Reed (Rosalie)!
Charlotte: Are you daunted by how big the whole twilight world is becoming?
Nikki: I think the most terrifying thing about being a part of a film that has such a huge following, is the natural fear that you will disappoint the fans. Considering that everybody has their own take on each character, and their own picture painted in their minds of who they our and what they look like, I had to walk into this knowing that you can’t please everyone, and all you can do is be committed and do the best job you can. It’s definitely scary, but everyday that passes I run into more people, (of all age groups) that love the books, and I’m reminded of how lucky I am to be a part of bringing them to life.
Charlotte: Did you know anything at all about Stephenie Meyer’s books before you got the role of Rosalie?
Nikki: To be honest, I hadn’t read the books before I was part of the film, but my little brother was reading them. This is the first film I’ve done that he is actually excited about! (He’s definitely going to be my date to the premiere.)
Charlotte: Which scene in particular was your favourite to shoot and why?
Nikki: As chaotic as it was, I would have to say the baseball scene was my favorite. I got to fly on cables, and hit a ball at a billion miles per hour. It was quite a challenge though, because not only did I have to learn how to play, but I had to learn to do it left handed in less than a month.
Charlotte: What part of the later books would you look forward to filming?
Nikki: I’m looking forward to the third, because it’s the first time Rosalie gets to open up, and talk about her backstory and where she came from. My biggest fear going into this was Rosalie coming off as a one dimensional character, 
being that there just wasn’t enough time in the first film to go into all of the Cullen’s “history”. I didn’t want people to see her as a bully, I wanted them to see her as a sister, who wants to protect her family.
Charlotte: Did you have any costumes (or part of a costume) that you loved so much you wanted to keep?
Nikki: My shoes! Because the actress who played Alice is actually taller than me in real life, and Alice is supposed to be much shorter than Rosalie, I was constantly put in like 7 inch heels. It was fun for the first 2 hours, but after a 15 hour day I was close to tears! (hint: after you see the kitchen scene, you’ll know what I mean!)
Charlotte: The chemistry on the set looked amazing, did you all kind of bond right away?
Nikki: I had an amazing time in Portland, thanks in large part to the little family that was created. Some of us bonded more than others, but we all enjoyed working together. It’s very rare that you walk away from a film and actually maintain friendships, only because everyone goes off and does other projects, but I will say there are a few people that I met on this film that have become some of my closest friends. I am in New york right now working, and Kristen and I are on the phone with each other every other day. That girl is not only an beautiful person, but a brilliant actress who I look up to and learned a lot from. Enough said.

cool she rocks she is trying to make the film great because really she wasn’t what i expected but its nice to see she know that and that she is going to be a great Rosalie
Nikki seems like a nice, funny, caring girl. She makes a great Rosalie. :]
Nikki seems like a sweet and caring person! i can’t wait to see her in the movie:> She also seems like a great actress Rosalie wasn’t one of my favorite charaters untill the thrid book, i felt sorry for her.I think Nikki will make a great Rosalie
She didn’t convince at first but know i think she is perfect. She’s beautiful.
Omg, Nikki seems so nice and fun! I bet she’ll make a GREAT Rosalie!!!!!!!!!
I love that they all got along so well…and that she and Kristen talk so much! I think she’ll make a fantastic Rosalie. She’s sweet, and so beautiful – inside and out!
She is an amazing actress. IMO, we’re lucky to have her. I think she’ll breathe life into Rosalie—who was pretty one dimensional in the first book.
She absolutely perfect for portraying Rosalie! She is such a gorgeous and talented actress and seems SO sweet! And I’ve got to say, whoever made up those questions is genius…definitely got to what I wanted to hear her answers of…
The whole cast is amazing! =D
wow…she was soooo honest…i starting to like her…well you know….
hope she’s gonna be a great Rosalie but i think she will though….
Whoo!!! Go Twilight!
the second question, her answer the her little bother’s gonna be her date, thats really sweet… i like her lol XD
What did i tell you charli? you’ve caught the interviewing bug, you definately have a knack for this!
She seems really nice, and I love that she mentioned her little brother, lol ^_^
she’s such a beautiful girl with a big heart… and she had to learn how to do it left handed, which makes me happy cuz that means rosalie is a leftie!!!! YAY a vampire who is left handed like me!!! *rejoyces and dances madly around the computer* l luv Rosalie!!!!!!
aww she is so kind!
i think nikki makes a great rosalie. =D
Well if Ashley is THAT tall that she had to have heels to be taller, then how was she not as tall as the guys… then again… I did see her and thought she was tall.. wow Ashleys taller, but how do they not make it look like seven inch heels!
WE LOVE YOU NIKKI! *my friend and I scream*
Does anyone know why, like her and Ashley and Jackson and everyone, why are they… are they all left handed in the book or something?
Wow… they dont always stay close… I hope Nikkis close to Ashley and vise versa, and Nikki and Kellen and Ashley and Jackson… and all.. of them together… but I’m gald Nikki is close to Bella! I find that cool because its such a flip because their characters… Rose hates… unless thats’ to strong… doesn’t like very much… Bella… so thats cool.
I love Nikki!!!!! She rocks!!!!!!!!!!

I love Nikki! She’s such a lovely person, genuine person. I warmed to her when I first saw her in the MTV video interviews, though I was slightly worried she was TOO nice to play Rosalie – but have since seen her act, and I know she’ll be perfect. Nikki and the other actors are just so sincere, and amazingly talented, I wouldn’t want anyone else in the cast for Twilight!
Nikki woulld be doing a great job as Rosalie.
No doubt about it and I’ll like to see the shoes that she was talking about, though..
YEs, I would LOVE to see the BASEBALL SCENE!!!
That is going to be so exciting…
Nikki is going to make a great Rosalie, there’s more to both of them, Nikki seems sweet and nice and Rosalie she seems the same way and there is more to her and we found that out in the 3rd book
Aw, she sounds really great! I’m SO excited for this movie!!!!!!!!! Wow. I can’t even explain it. =))
