The author said she feels guilty that the pair's real life relationship has been scrutinised so closely after they played lovers Bella Swan and Edward Cullen in the movie adaptations of her books and claimed they hate the attention, reported Contactmusic.
Asked if she feels guilty, she said, "Absolutely. Here's the thing: there are some actors who are looking to be world famous, to be that household name, and although they might discover that there are a lot of negative things involved in that, it's what they want.
Meyer said that the main source of her guilt comes from the fact that they have had to deal with all of the public attention, which she has escaped.
"I just don't think they enjoy the parts of fame that other people would. And I totally get that, because it would not be my thing either. At the same time - and this is where the guilt comes from - it's created this nice, peaceful place for me.
"They took all of my heat, which I feel bad about. If they had the choice, I've no idea if they'd even do 'Twilight' again. I just don't know. I think this has all come at a heavy price," she added.
