Here is an excerpt:

J-14: Some fans of the books think that Bella comes off as depressed and is almost seen as weak because she’s lost without her guy in New Moon. How do you feel about that?

Nikki Reed: I think that’s what makes Bella so appealing though, is that everyone can relate to that time. I mean, if we’re going to associate her with, like, a completely healthy woman then I would have a lot to say about Bella — but she’s a kid. She’s a kid and we forget because Stephenie [Meyer] has created such an adult relationship between Bella and Edward. You forget that Bella is still just a kid who lives with her dad, who’s very opinionated and very self righteous in a certain sense, but she still needs guidance. This is just her perspective, you know what I mean?
