This is the first thing I found searching for "Stephanie Meyer Buffy fan":

Q: Were you a fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer? Angel? What are you watching now that those shows are off the air?
A: I have never seen an entire episode of Buffy or Angel. While I was writing Twilight, I let my older sister read along chapter by chapter. She's a huge Buffy fan and she kept trying to get me to watch, but I was afraid it would mess up my vision of the vampire world so I never did.

Here she again says that she's never seen it: http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1592141/twilight-tuesday-stephenie-meyer-interview-part-two.jhtml

I found this same thing repeated all over the place. Of course, Meyer could be lying, but I see no real reason to disbelieve her, because the similarities between the two series are extremely superficial.

That's fine! It's easy to get mixed-up!

Oh, yes. That's why I said "to the best of my ability." A lot of old material isn't around anymore.

That said, it's sometimes surprising what *is.* I once found the actor Misha Collins directly contradicting himself by comparing statements made at a recent con to things he said while doing a press junket for the film Karla. The information was very easy to find, so I think he was just going with the idea that no one would look up his old interviews. :)
