Here are some old video interviews with Twilight Saga Author Stephenie Meyer, sorry if you have seen them but I assume many of you fell in love with the Twilight Saga after the release of the first film and if that is the case then these should be pretty new to you 
as they were for me 
Stephenie speaks about Breaking Dawn and sheds light on the direction the book took and why she did what she did with BD. The video’s are from August 2008, which (and I stand to be corrected) was before Twilight was made into a motion picture so she is very honest and they stay nicely on point. They are definitely worth a watch if you get the chance

Wow, I am super excited about this and I am not necessarily a comic book fan-type (well, apart from wanting Buffy season 8 for forever ) It is the first official look at Twilight: The Graphic Novel, Vol 1 and will be published on March 16 in the USA, with a first printing of 350,000 copies. Artist Young Kim will be doing the artwork and adaption but will be working closely with Twilight Series Author Stephenie Meyer, it is Kim’s first time working on a graphic novel and it looks like she is doing a brilliant job. Stephenie spoke with Entertainment Weekly, here are a few questions from the interview which can be read in it’s entirety in their next issue:
The text of your original novel is boiled down so carefully that it doesn’t feel like anything is missing. Were you the one who did that?
I was definitely involved. I didn’t do the original “script” for the book, so to speak. But when I got the dialogue with the images, I did a lot of tinkering. In a couple of places, I asked for missing scenes to be inserted. For example, the conversation in the car that Bella and Edward have after she faints in Biology.
How does the feeling of reading the graphic novel compare to that of reading the original? Does it bring something new to the experience for you?
For me, it takes me back to the days when I was writing Twilight. It’s been a while since I was really able to read Twilight; there is so much baggage attached to that book for me now. It seems like all I can see are the mistakes in the writing. Reading Young’s version brought me back to the feeling I had when I was writing and it was just me and the characters again. I love that. I thank her for it.
When this project is done, are you done with Twilight?
I can’t say that I am done with Twilight forever. I’m not working on anything new Twilight-related now, and probably not for a while. But there’s still a possibility that I’ll go back and close some of the open doors.
Ah I wish Stephenie would just give us a bit more closure on the series I so badly want another book and all this maybe maybe not talk is not good for the soul you know what I mean? The novel should be good fun though, ease the longing just a little

With Twilight and New Moon great successes and Eclipse in post production and scheduled for release in June of this year, the thought on every twi-mind is Breaking Dawn. There has been some controversy over whether or not it would be made into a film and now that it is, there seems to be some confusion as to what exactly this means. Everyone seems to have a different take on the movie, especially with regard to the number of films the book should warrant. Twilight Saga author,Stephenie Meyer, posted this on her website to try bring about some calm
Don’t you worry folks, I’m sure it is all in good hands 
Just a quick note on the subject of the Breaking Dawn film: there is no drama over whether the book should be one movie or two. My personal feeling is that it would be very difficult to cram the whole story into one movie (as I’ve said in many interviews previous to this), but if a great way of doing that surfaces, I’m all for it. Two or one, whichever way fits the story best is fine by me, and everyone I’ve spoken with at Summit seems to feel the same way. We’re all excited to move forward on this, and we are slowly and surely getting there. I know people are anxious for news, and so sometimes gossip gets fabricated to stir things up, but there’s no basis to this particular story.
