One of the (few) pleasures of the Twilight series  (Meyer's horror, not Joss' horror) is the utter contempt its stars have for it.  Heh.  From EW.com:

“Look, there are a lot of moments when Edward sort of acts like a pussy,” Pattinson said.
“You can quote him on that!” Stewart laughed.

“My wife is dying, I have completely f-ed up my life and hers, ( Read more... )

Because it's come up in regards to Joss's brainfart crackfic  I thought that I'd link to some of the Sparkle Motion Awesome fandom put out regarding the original (and still cracky) S.Meyer Twilight Series:
