1. “My first feeling was that there was no way to continue. Writing isn't like math; in math, two plus two always equals four no matter what your mood is like. With writing, the way you feel changes everything.”   

2. “When I write a story, it's not like I'm thinking about what I'm doing.”   

3. “All I can guess is that when I write, I forget that it's not real. I'm living the story, and I think people can read that sincerity about the characters. They are real to me while I'm writing them, and I think that makes them real to the readers as well.”   

4. “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.”   

5. “What's funny about that is when I was writing Twilight just for myself and not thinking of it as a book, I was not thinking about publishing, and yet at the same time I was casting it in my head. Because when I read books, I see them very visually.”   

6. “I always write things that entertain me.”   

7. “The only time I really did any research on vampires was when the character Bella did research on vampires. Because I was creating my own world, I didn't want to find out just how many rules I was breaking.”   

8. “Sometimes ideas feel like they were already there and that you're just discovering them.”   

9. “I can always make things longer than I intend for them to be, but cutting things down is just brutal. It's like cutting off your fingers every time you lose a word.”   

10. “It's important for me to be free and know I'm acting for myself. I do things because I want to, and that's important. You want to be your own person.”
