“Being a part of a worldwide phenomenon.
“You never really get used to it. If you start getting used to it, you’re in trouble. I do the best I can.”

Laughing off the rumors and gossip.
“A lot of it is bull–. It’s really surprising that what you put on paper, people will believe. And 99% of that is false. I was really surprised about how much of that goes on. I was Joe Citizen before this came along. But when you start to deal with stuff like that, you just have to laugh at it. And on the set, there’s this huge bubble and nothing can really touch you. And you can kind of tune everything out. Then you leave the set and come out into the world and you’re apart of this huge franchise movie.”

Sticking up for co-stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson.
“They have a lot of heat on them. They’re in a world of their own. We get in the tabloids, but not even close to what Rob and Kristen get. And from what I see, they handle it really well and I think people should cut them some slack because they’re very young and just trying to get through this.”

The Australian site, the Blacktown Sun, interviewed Chaske Spencer. He is slated to be a convention in Australia in the near future.  This is one of the best articles we’ve seen by a mainstream media. You get a real sense of how grounded and humbled Chaske is by the whole Twilight fame tornado.

“It’s a good thing because it’s giving me opportunities. For me, I appreciate everything it’s done but at some point you’ve got to distance yourself and take other roles where you keep your shirt on. I just did a film called Shouting Secrets, a very character driven movie and worked with a brilliant cast and a beautiful script, and that’s what the saga has allowed me. I also did a film called Winter In The Blood in which I pretty much play an alcoholic. I’ve been working before Twilight it just happened that when I got this role it’s given me a lot of exposure but I think you’ve got to keep a smart head on your shoulders and at some point back off.”

Spencer said he was grateful to the saga for its portrayal of native Americans.

“This time around we didn’t have to speak with a broken tongue or slap on the leather and feather,” he said. “There’s character involved here and story, so it was a breath of fresh air … and the fans of Twilight don’t see us as native American actors, they see us as actors, which is something new. It’s a breath of fresh air that when the character’s introduced you have some rock music playing in the background, they’re not looking at you as long-haired native American. They’re looking at you as a werewolf that happens to be native.”
