I'm honour to have made the first FOTM interview on the Jasper&Alice spot, especially with KathyHalliwell! Thanks everyone who nominated and voted for this to become a reality!:)
So... I want to start by asking you:
When and why did you start to love Jasper and Alice?
It was in New Moon, when I first noticed them as a couple. Before that it was all about Edward & Bella for me and I couldn’t care less about the other Cullen couples. NM however changed that. Alice and Jasper’s phone call changed that, to be exact. Since I’ve never really given much thought about A&J before, it shocked me to read just how far Alice would go to keep Jasper safe. It was shockingly beautiful. Add the the airport scene to the picture and I was sold. I thought it was beautiful how they communicated without words.
Do you use the nickname Jalice or do you prefer Jasper & Alice or another?
I use Jalice quite often, nowadays more often than before (don’t know why is that, btw) but I think I use AJ the most. Simple and easy. I use Alice & Jasper too, but not too often, it’s too long. :P :D
If you got to write a Jalice scene for the next movie (BD), what would happen, what song would you put in it and why?
Only one? Okay… well, I’d stick to the books, so as much as I would like to put in a hot, steamy kissing scene, I wouldn’t. There would be no place for a scene like that. So after thinking long and hard, thinking through all the possibilities I have, I’d probably go with a scene on Bella and Edward’s wedding day. Dancing and all… Oh, I’d just love to see them dance. Plus, I could put in a little innocent kiss there too. Kill two birds with one stone.
As for the song… this is a really hard choice. There are so many great songs I could imagine this scene to. Just to mention a few: Avril Lavigne ‘I will be’, Jason Walker ‘You fill my Heart’, Matt White ‘Wait for Love’ and Boyce Avenue ‘Find Me’. In the end, I chose ‘Everything’ by Lifehouse, because I love the band, the song is one of my all time favourite songs ever, and the lyrics is beyond belief. Unbelievably beautiful.
Which do you think is the sign that shows Jalice's love most?
It’s hard to choose only one… but I think communicating without words is pretty impressive. In Midnight Sun, Edward said it was like they could read minds too, only just each other’s. They don’t need words or public affection or big weddings every few years. Sometimes love doesn’t need words.
Which is your favorite Jalice kiss?
I love any kiss which is Jalice’s ;) My favourite is the one when Jasper tells Bella his story and then he and Alice kiss. I just wish it was a few seconds longer…
Which other character do you think have one of the best relationship with the couple and why?
Well… I think, Edward. He and Alice are obviously close. Also I think him being a mind reader helps a lot too. He probably understands them more than anyone else in the family.
If you were Alice and got to spend one day with Jasper, what would you wanna do?
So, I should probably keep this PG, right? :P Well, I can’t deny some kissing. Or more like some hot making out… Besides that, I’d really wanna talk with him. Just a simple conversation, you know. About anything at all. I bet he’d be an interesting person to talk to. I’d also want to make him smile. He never really smiled in the Saga and that’s just sad. Oh, and I’d make him say ‘I love you’ to me. :D So nothing special. Spending the day with him would be enough (god, that sounded really corny).
What's the first thing that pops up in your head when you hear "Jalice"?
Hope. *dreamy sigh*
What's your biggest wish for Jalice right now?
A book about them. Possibly a sequel to Breaking Dawn in Alice or Jasper’s POV. Something interesting, like the Volturi coming back for Alice (cause we all know Aro really wanted her) or Maria coming back for Jasper… But I’d take any book about them. Stephenie should really write one.
Which other couple, from a show, in real life, or whatever, reminds you the most of Jalice and why?
Well, I gotta say this is the hardest question in this interview… Jalice has such an extraordinary, special bond that can’t be compared to anything else. They’re one of a kind, very unique.
But… if we’re talking about the pairing and not about the love they share, I always thought they were sort of similar to Brooke and Lucas from ‘One Tree Hill’. Happy, cheery girl with fashionable clothes plus broody, reserved guy who likes books. Ring a bell? However, the love they share is not similar at all. BL’s love was kind of… dysfunctional (no offense to any BL fan who might be reading this), high school love. Jalice’s love is deep, meaningful. Jasper would never cheat on Alice.
I think I got a little bit carried away, back to the point: if we’re talking about the love they share, Sam & Dean from ‘Supernatural’ sort of remind me of Jalice. I know they’re brothers, not a couple, but they would sacrifice, they did sacrifice everything for the other. Love like that is hard to find, whether it’s sibling love or couple love, and both Jalice and Sam & Dean have it.
And if we’re talking about the story they share, then I can’t compare them to anyone. Their story is one of the most unique love stories I’ve ever heard.
Which Jalice quote or moment do you like the most?
Quote: “For the first time in almost a century, I felt hope.” Anyone surprised here? I don’t think I need to explain why…
Moment: I think I’ll go with the airport scene in NM tied with their first meeting in Eclipse. I’m sorry, I just couldn’t choose between the two. But truth be told, I love every single Jalice scene we have. :D They make the books for me.
What are your hopes for BD regarding Jalice?
Well, I read this article recently… it’s about Joe Jonas being jealous of Jackson kissing Ashley. According to the article, the kissing scene is ‘hot and heavy’. And all of the sudden, I feel much more excited about BD.
Besides that, I’m not sure what to expect. BD probably had the fewest JA scenes in the Saga, so… Though, the directors could really give us that dance scene I was talking about earlier, and maybe a short scene of them leaving the Cullens.
What is your favourite moment from each movie?
Twilight - the hand holding in the car, when they’re taking Bella to Phoenix. It’s so sweet.
New Moon - Jasper attacking Bella is priceless. I’m sorry, I can’t help it, I just really hate her. Plus Jackson’s acting was brilliant, and Alice calming Jasper down is a great bonus too. She called him Jazz! *melts*
Eclipse - That’s easy: Jasper’s story and the kiss. Awwwwwww. Though, I do like the fight training too…
And from each book?
Twilight - well… I’m not sure. I like the moments when they’re in Phoenix, I guess…
New Moon - Jalice at the airport, for sure. Their phone call is a close second.
Eclipse - Jasper’s story. Especially when he meets Alice and that beautiful quote he says… That chapter is my favourite chapter in the whole Saga.
Breaking Dawn - you know what, I’ve been sitting here for the last five minutes, thinking about which is my favourite scene from BD, when I realized that I don’t have one. :D Okay, so maybe when Alice & Jazz come back. I was so happy. I knew they wouldn’t abandon their family like that.
Anything you want to say?
Yes. I just want to thank you all for giving me this title. I really am grateful, even for those who did not pick me. This is a huge honor. I know this sounds a little overdramatic, but for me it is a big deal. This the first time I’m the FOTM for a spot, and I’m so glad it’s Jalice’s spot. I wouldn’t want it to be any other spot’s. So THANK YOU!
Hope always,
Kathy
