BB: Does your relationship with George Clooney in the film have any romantic undertones?

AK: No, that’s actually one of the things I love about this script and this role. My character is a young woman, but there is never a romantic plot for her, and there is never a romantic interest with George. George has his own love interest, and the role really could have been for any general age, it just happens to be a young woman. She’s not romantic in any way, just smart and driven.

BB:What was your reaction when you got the role?

AK: I had already signed up to do Scott Pilgrim, and I was so worried about scheduling problems and letting anybody down that my immediate reaction was this overwhelming anxiety about not being able to all the things I was signed up to do at the same time. So, it should have been this really overwhelming thing and immediately my brain goes to, how is this going to work and who am I going to piss off?

BB:Do you think your supporting role in Twilight can result in backlash from fans of more serious fare?

AK: I understand a certain amount of backlash to something that’s really popular. I think particularly this being popular with young women, it takes a certain amount of flack. I mean, I can tell you a lot of the actors in Twilight are incredibly talented. It might be something that’s driven toward young females, but it has no bearing on anybody’s acting chops.

BB:There’s a picture online of Robert Pattinson kissing you. Do people tease you about that?

AK: I have seen fans comment on places that post them, but no one in person has ever said anything but nice things to me about being in Twilight. The fans, when you are removed from them and they’re on the internet, can seem a little scary and overwhelming. Even at the premiere, which was loud and massive and crazy, once you got up to the fans to start signing stuff, they were really warm and respectful.
