We keep running into these Twilight people everywhere that we're starting to run out of questions to ask them!

Since director Catherine Hardwicke is about to finish her crazy-ass ride on the Twilight-train we couldn't pass up an opportunity to chat with the dame director, again. Why? Because she's friggin' unpredictable and we effin' love it. Cathy confirms what everyone else in the cast is too scared to say:

That Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are not just friends.

Check out our interview with her from Sunday's Teen Choice Awards:

Your poor cast! They've all become insane tabloid targets. Do you pay attention to all the rumors?
Well, when I'm in the airport on trips I'll look at the magazines. It's pretty wild. I feel pretty bad for everybody. You wish you could just have a life!

Some aren't exactly rumors though—Like Rob and Kristen being more than "good friends." Do you like them as a couple in real life, too?
Well of course! I cast them together, so obviously I think they're awesome together. There's no question about that.

Last time we chatted you told us how you knew there was something special with Robsten from the start. What exactly do you think makes them work as a couple?
Well, I think they're both fascinating, tortured, artists. Which is kind of cool to be with somebody else that gets what that's like. They are both amazing with very interesting minds. So that's kind of cool, too.

Couldn't agree more. So is Breaking Dawn going to get way sexier now that Rob and Kristen are heating up?
It has to be! I mean, come on. There are feathers flying!

Whoever directs it should write some extra Robsten love scenes…
Oh yeah, yeah, they totally should.

So there's some more Twi-fun for you Robsten lovers out there. We dig the way Catherine described their relaysh, too. It couldn't be more true. But, then you all knew that already, didn'tcha?
