Quotes by Stephenie Meyer about:
About herself
from Cynsations, an interview with Stephenie Meyer —
I was never one for goth or horror.
I keep having moments like that where you just stop and say, wait a minute — how is this still going up? I'm waiting for the rug to be pulled out from under me.
About The Twilight Saga in general
I just wanted to write for myself, a fantasy. And that's what Edward is. But it could be a good thing, too. There's nothing wrong with having high expectations, right?
I didn't realize the books would appeal to people so broadly. I think some of it's because Bella is an everygirl. She's not a hero.
About writing
I want to be a better writer...I read these other authors and I think, 'Now, that's a good writer. I'm never going to reach that level.' But I'm going to be a good storyteller.
Since I discovered how amazing it is to write a story, I can't stop. But the publishing and all the politics and the negativity? I don't know if it will be worth putting the stories out there forever.
From Cynsations, an interview with Stephenie Meyer—
Don't let your goal be having a novel published, let your goal be enjoying your stories.
About Stories and reading
Time Magazine (on researching vampires)—
Because I was creating my own world, I didn't want to find out just how many rules I was breaking.
About Life
I guess there's a conditioning from fairy tales that the wedding is the end of the story, but I think most of us know it's another kind of beginning.
Numbers are easy to change. Moving is harder. They'll have to drag me out of this place on a plank. Before I move, I'm going to put up a fence and get shepherds. And then I'll have a button and get to say 'Release the hounds!'
About Religion
It seems funny that it's still a story, because you didn't hear people saying, 'Jon Stewart, Jewish writer,' when his book came out. I guess being a Mormon is just odd enough that people think it's still a real story. Obviously, to me, it seems super normal. It's just my religion.
About Fame
I think that after 30 years of being the most normal person in the whole world, it's really hard to become ungrounded.
