Here is an excerpt:

Movies.com: I remember back when we met for the first Twilight film, and you talking about loving the character and doing her justice for the fans. How much of the character is yours now, three films in?
Ashley Greene: In general I always try to break characters down in the most basic form, being a human being – or having human characteristics, in Alice’s case. So if I’ve experienced anything in my life that is similar to them, I try to connect to that and I really kind of become this character.
With Alice, I definitely tried to stay optimistic like she does. And of course I love fashion! She loves fashion. For the family aspect of it, I’m extremely close to my family, as is she. So that was an easy connection. It wasn’t that big of a stretch. If someone messes with Alice’s family she’ll go to bat for them, and I’m the same way for my family.
