I feel like humor is a part of life. I don't think it comes through as much in the novels as it does in my head.

That actually is one of my huge challenges right now because I write best at night, no question. I can focus. You know you're not getting any phone calls, I can shut everything down, and I'm just more creative at night.

I always needed that extra fantasy world. I had to have another world I could be in at the same time.

The worst part is that I saw the whole thing -- our whole life. And I want it bad, Jake, I want it all. I want to stay right here and never move. I want to love you and make you happy. And I can't, and it's killing me.

I tried to be diplomatic, but mostly I just lied a lot.

I was stronger than Edward. I'd made him say ow.

He was a different Edward than the one I had known. And I felt all the more besotted by him. It would cause me physical pain to be separated from him now.
