No, actually The Host was totally a palate-cleanser for me. I wanted to do something a little bit different than romantic love. Romantic love is in there, obviously, because I enjoy writing about that and living it a lot. – Stephenie Meyer
Ive seen little pieces of Interview with a Vampire when it was on TV, but I kind of always go yuck! I dont watch R-rated movies, so that really cuts down on a lot of the horror. – Stephenie Meyer
With The Host, I think the actors could be really big names. That would be cool. Id love to see Robert Redford put on a beard and be Jeb he would be amazing… Matt Damon has some very Jared-esque qualities, and then Casey Affleck as Ian and Ben Affleck as Kyle. Imagine the interplay. – Stephenie Meyer
