MTV: As the “Saga” continues filming, do you feel like you’re growing into your character more or less?
Reaser: No, I feel like I’m nothing like my character. It’s interesting to me that I get cast as mothers and really maternal, sweet, nice people. … Maybe I have a vulnerability or something; maybe that’s what it is. But other than that, I don’t relate to this type of character. She’s so good and lovely, and it definitely makes me [a better person]. When I’m working, and I’m always trying to see people in their best light, it makes me a more generous person to play Esme, because I don’t feel that. It’s funny, but I think Bryce — who is playing Victoria, Bryce Dallas Howard — is the nicest, most amazing woman, and I feel like she should play Esme. I feel like she is Esme. She’s so lovely and beautiful and kind and good. I nominate her to play Esme Cullen.

first and i love esme even if Elizabeth Reaser says she is not like her in real life
i didn’t mean that to sound mean eather if it dose
I agree Reaser. I greatly dislike her as Eme.
Hmm…I liked her as Esme but if it turns out that her hearts not really in it they should get someone who can relate to the character
That’s a shame.
I gotta admit, her answer to this interview question REALLY bummed me out at first. I think most of us adore Esme’s character in the novels, so it was difficult to hear Elizabeth say that she doesn’t relate to her. BUT … last night I was running through the other characters in my mind and realized that Elizabeth’s hardly the only actor that doesn’t personally relate to their Twilight character in real life (think Aro, Caius or Jane). At the end of the day, it’s their job to play the characters well, and I DO think Elizabeth’s doing a good job at it. Do I wish she didn’t say the role should’ve gone to someone else? Yes. Definitely. But I still think she’s talented and the casting directors knew what they were doing when they hired her.
Sorry for the long comment. =)
