Transcript (of the first page of the interview):
Benn Northover: You live in east LA, right I don't know that part of town.
Kristen Stewart: It's one the only places in LA where you find things that don't have a double of themselves. It's not very commercial. I don't know where else I would live in LA if I didn't have the east side.
BN: Last time in LA, I found myself at the Ace Hotel.
KS: I like downtown.
BN: It's still got those old diners and deserted movie theatres.
KS: Yeah! I saw Patti Smith at the Ace.
BN:Really?
KS: We hang out and talk, but it's the only time I've seen her live, and that's a really sick venue. I sat at the soundboard, and in the middle of her show she cae down to say hi to me. I was like, 'Get back on stage, your psycho! Thank you, but stop!' It was amazing.
BN: How did you guys meet?
KS: At an after party for on On the Road thing (Stewart starred in the 2012 adaptation of the Jack Kerouac classic). I was in a bit of a fragile state, to be perfectly honest. Also, in a crowd that was fairly focused on, you know...myself. And she came up to me and asked me if I was OK.
BN: She got it.

It had just started to rain as I pulled up outside the Chanel office on rue Cambon. I was there to meet Kristen Stewart who was in town for a few days after wrapping on her latest collaboration with director Olivier Assayas. We’d planned to meet after her morning appointment and then go in search of lunch. Heading north, we ended up in a quiet corner of the Rose Bakery in the 9th arrondissement. One of the first things that hit me, sitting across from Stewart as we began to talk, was her total focus. It’s that grounded presence that is so evident in much of her work to date – that impulsive energy that weaves throughout her performances, keeping each moment alive with a sense of spontaneity and the rare ability to reveal a human truth in front of the camera. If she had stopped after the multi-film franchise, which brought her to the world stage, she would have already achieved a career that many actors spend a lifetime striving for, but to Stewart, she was just beginning.
Over the past few years she’s built an impressive body of work, proving a talent and conviction that sets her apart from many of her contemporaries. It’s no wonder her magnetic portrayal of Valentine in Clouds of Sils Maria has earned her best actress trophies from both the New York Film Critics Circle and the César awards, sending the words “Oscar nomination” humming through the echo chambers of Hollywood. Characteristically focused on journey over destination, Stewart is taking this all in her stride. With several projects in the pipeline, including films with Woody Allen, Ang Lee and Kelly Reichardt along with an eye on stepping behind the camera herself, 2016 looks set to be another busy year for Stewart.
