Head to Hollywood Chicago to read the full article.HollywoodChicago.com: What has been the most surreal element of being put into The Twilight Saga spotlight?
Jones: For me, just how fast everything changed. I feel sometimes like I’m on a low-grade drug all the time. It’s just that my new reality is different, there is so much more energy hurled at you on a daily basis than before.
HollywoodChicago.com: The movie ‘Hell Ride’ (2007) was is a particularly interesting addition to your filmography. What can you relate about director Larry Bishop and his vision for that film?
Jones: Larry is a piece of work. He’s a wonderful writer and I responded to that script when I read it. I’d never read anything like it. I respect him for that, he does have a very unique vision.
HollywoodChicago.com: How do you connect to your Native American blood? What issues in that heritage are you most interested in?
Jones: There are so many. The one that comes closest to me in the midst of Twilight is there is a lack of representation for Native Americans in the media and what has been in the media thus far is generally misrepresentation. So I am excited that as part of Twilight it showcases young Native characters that are contemporary. People think we’re cool and that actually is a first in a lot of ways.
HollywoodChicago.com: Did you ever stop at some point, look around and think ‘how did I get here?’
Jones: I would say with Twilight I do it on a weekly basis. [laughs]
