Alice Cullen may seem like just the sweet, spunky 5 ft. teenager who throws the best parties and is always smiling and laughing, but her life is much more interesting than it appears. She was nice enough to share a bit of her exciting life with me reveal secrets that you would never suspect Alice or any of the Cullens to have.

Q: Where do you live?
A: My family and I live in a small town in Washington called Forks.

Q: How do you like living there?
A: I love it. My family really likes the rain so we chose a great place for rainy weather.

Q: Tell me about your school.
A: My school is fine. Nothing really exciting but the classes are very easy for me.

Q: Do you have a best friend?
A: For a while my best friends were my siblings. We all ate together and hung out together. But now my best friend is Bella Swan who is like a sister to me.

Q: Do you have a passion for anything or is there something you love to do?
A: I love fashion. My favorite dress-up doll is Bella. She sometimes lets me do her hair and pick out her clothes. I also love hosting parties and planning them. I just planned Bella and Edward’s wedding and I also did a graduation party. I am a very social person.

Q: If you could describe yourself in one word what would it be?
A: That is tough because it depends on what mood I am in. But I am almost always happy and very energetic so I would go with bubbly. That word suits me very well.

Q: How is it that you and your siblings are so close in age?
A: We aren’t biological siblings. We all are the foster children of Carlisle and Esme.

Q: Oh really? Is that hard to not be with your real parents?
A: I can’t remember them and you can’t miss what you never had. I love Carlisle and Esme so much and I couldn’t have greater parents.

Q: Do you get along well with your siblings?
A: We all are so close. We spend most of our time together. Edward and I are very close and Jasper is my husband so he doesn’t count as a sibling.

Q: Married? You are so young.
A: Well at this point in my life my age doesn't really doesn’t matter because I love Jasper and we have known each other for a very long time. We will always be young together.

Q: What do you mean?
A: I don't age and neither does the rest of my family. We all are a lot older than we appear. I am 17 but technically I’m over a hundred years old.

Q: That is impossible! How can you not age?
A: Our family is different from normal people. But there is no need to fear us. We all are very friendly and act completely normal.

Q: What do you mean by different? Are you some kind of superhero?
A: I wouldn’t call it being a hero at all. We are vampires. But don’t worry! Not the kind you think of when you hear vampires! We don’t have fangs or sleep in coffins. And don’t try to kill us with garlic because it’s not going to work.

Q: Wait…If you are a vampire, does that mean you drink blood?
A: Well, we are ashamed of it but there is nothing we can do about it. It is how we live. But we don’t ever kill humans. We drink animal blood. I would never hurt an innocent person. But when you first become a vampire, it is extremely hard to resist human blood.

Q: Are all vampires as pretty as you?
A: (smile) That's so sweet of you! Our appearances improved when we transformed. All vampires have cold pale skin and ochre eyes but we keep our height and hair color and basic features. My sister Rosalie is probably the most attractive of our family and makes sure everyone knows it.

Q: Do you plan on adding anyone else to your family of vampires any time soon?
A: Well it doesn’t really work that way. Carlisle will transform someone if he finds them in near death condition to save their life. But we don’t just turn people into vampires if we want another family member. That wouldn’t be fair. Bella was added a few months ago and we love having her.

Q: Do you prefer life as a vampire?
A: After I was transformed I couldn’t remember anything from my past. I woke up as a vampire and it was all very confusing. Not too long ago I did some research on myself and found out where I born and that I was put into an asylum because I had premonitions. I am very happy now and with what I know about my previous life, I think I ended up with the better life.

Q: Did these premonitions affect you in any way when you became a vampire?
A: Yes, actually they really did. I can now see the future. But only with humans and vampires.

Q: Does anyone else have any of these special powers?
A: Edward can read peoples minds, Jasper can control peoples emotions, and Bella can shield her mind and anyone near hers from mental attacks. It really depends on what your strengths are before you become a vampire.

Q: Wow, seeing the future sounds very exciting? Do you like having that talent?
A: It is a little frustrating because sometimes I misread the visions and I have a lot of pressure on me because everyone relies on my visions in case of danger. But I don’t know what I would do with out it. I feel blind when I can’t use it.

Q: So now that we know there are vampires, are there any other fantasy creatures we should be aware of?
A: Well there are werewolves living just a few miles from my house but that’s a whole other story…
