LE FIGARO -You compete in Cannes On the road from Walter Salles . And Robert Pattinson with Cosmopolis of David Cronenberg . Between you it is competition or rather a game?

KRISTEN STEWART - (laughs) Between us there is no problem! And we consider it as a game It's so incredible, unthinkable, crazy ending up the same year in Cannes, in competition, as we have just finished Twilight ! It's strange ...

Fate?

- (Laughs). I do not know. Maybe ...

What led you to the film by Walter Salles On the road , adaptation of the work of Jack Kerouac ?

I am committed to this project for five years. I read the novel by Jack Kerouac at 15. It was on my list of books to school. Intstinctivement, I immediately selected. This is the first book to have lit a flame in me and giving me a taste for lecture.Tout therefore began with Jack!

What do you think Marylou, the heroine who was inspired by LuAnne Henderson?

She was never afraid of anything. For many young girls, including myself, many times our actions are guided by fear. Even today, it would be considered quequ'un unique. She had an ability to love, generosity of spirit. She was not a rebel or persuaded to be a pioneer or a girl avant-garde. She was just herself.

Filming of Twilight is over. Chapter 5, Part 2 Revelation , released November 14. Relief?

We redid the catch because I had hurt myself. Then, we will promote for its release. I'll have to talk about Twilight to end my day! I'm sure! Twilight represents a long and important in my life.
