LIMELIFE: INTERVIEW WITH JULIA JONES PART TWO

Posted October 29th, 2009 By: Evie 1 Comment »

LimeLife has part two of their interview with Julia Jones now up. Julia talks about how being a part of The Twilight Saga has changed her career and what she thought of the books. Read more below:

LimeLife: Have you read the Twilight books at this point?

Julia Jones: I read the books when I got cast. I read them all in two weeks, I think partly because it was a place to put my head! (Laughs.) There was so much going on around me and I just wanted to sort of check out, so I just got lost in these books. It was great.

LimeLife: That’s where all your energy was, huh?

Julia Jones: Yeah. This was a really big leap for my career. It wasn’t like I’ve had other franchises in my past or other big blockbusters at all. This was a really big leap, so it could feel so overwhelming sometimes in the very beginning and just to have a place to put my head that was grounded, and something that I had control over…it was a release. By reading the books I felt like I was doing something that would help me do my job, and that was a relaxing feeling.

LimeLife: Have you been affected yet by any of the Twilight craze? Are you being followed, or has your private life been affected at all?

Julia Jones: Being in Vancouver affected me every day because you’re sort of in the middle of it while you’re there. But since I’ve been back in Los Angeles, I’ve just been busier. It hasn’t affected my personal life so much. My friends fortunately have just been amazing. I’ve heard stories of people who’ve said, “Everybody around me is changing,” and all of that, and I haven’t experienced any of that whatsoever, my friends have just been so supportive.

I’m incredibly grateful. My best friends for the most part are my best friends from high school and not one of them is in the entertainment industry and they’re just like, “She got a really good job.” Which is exactly what it should be – it’s a really good job.

LimeLife: Tell us one more thing you want Twilight fans to know about you.

Julia Jones: (laughs) “Is there anything you want to say to the universe? That’s like remotely interesting?” I guess when I really think about the place that I am right now in my life, it just amazes me how fast things change. I’ve been working in this industry for so long, and all of a sudden, it just starts paying back, it’s like the lottery. It’s kind of a numbers game. I’m really glad I stuck with it.
