Twilight Lexicon were lucky enough to interview New Moon’s Tinsel Korey!
Here’s a little bit of the interview:
Have you read the Twilight Saga books? If yes, which book is your favorite and why?
I have read New Moon, and I’m reading Eclipse right now. I also own Breaking Dawn. I’ll have to get back to you on which one is my favorite.
Did you, along with the other cast members who were also in the Quileuete roles, spend any time building back-stories or relationships?
I built my back-story before I met the boys, I already had an idea of who Emily was. Meeting and hanging out with the boys only helped build upon what my prior thoughts already were. I think when we all hung out the back-story just was there in who we were. Most of us are pretty similar to our characters.
How long is the process of getting into makeup and costume for Emily and can you describe it?
It takes hours to perfect the make-up and you’ll have to wait for the movie to see the magic that the makeup/SPX department created.

The Province have an article where Tinsel Korey talks about New Moon.
“I know this is the pinnacle of where things are about to change for me,” says Korey, who hasn’t worked a day job since a brief stint as a waitress when she came to Vancouver from Toronto as a teen in 2002. “It was happening gradually but I just have an internal feeling that it’s about to get a little crazy.”
In New Moon, Korey adds sweetness and light as Emily, part of the story’s community of natives who befriend lovelorn teen Bella (Kristen Stewart) when her vampire beau (the freshly minted superstar Robert Pattinson) leaves town. Some of those natives have another side as werewolves, and human Emily bears the scars from where her werewolf boyfriend once got too close.
The fan frenzy around all things Twilight has Korey lying low.
“I wasn’t even allowed to say I was in it for months,” she says. As well, Korey has stayed away from the Internet fan chatter.
“My agent is like, ‘You’re banned from the Internet, you’re not allowed to Google yourself, because people can be really mean.’”
