Interview with El Pais at the San Sebastian Film Festival for 'Seberg'

Google translated.

"I do not feel attacked in a specific way, as happened to Seberg," says the actress, "but more generally, I feel attacked, like many Americans, by my Government." And he continues: "The United States is at war with itself. Sometimes it is difficult to recognize my country in the current scenario. However, I am hopeful, there are elections soon. When people are unhappy they disconnect from the rest. It is time to reconnect."

Playing Jean Seberg could even have been therapeutic for Stewart. An actress can feel comforted to hear her fears in the character that embodies another actress: "In art, things get interesting when you're afraid. It's the first step to any philosophical conversation, and so that you feel committed to what You also recognize that the gift of being able to share a job with the public is wonderful. If you lock yourself up, if you protect yourself, you will create something boring and without interest, which is not worth it. My luck is that I distinguish my work very well from my life, I have them clearly compartmentalized and I don't need an alternative life in the cinema to complete mine. I don't confuse. But I insist: when something scares you, it's usually worth it, "he replies. Stewart has a variety of chains around his neck, including one with a padlock. His eyeshadow is a rectangular black spot that highlights a sizzling look. The directors who have worked with her speak of someone sweet, shy, with a lot of judgment and a very well furnished head. In interviews, he prefers long answers, even if in the middle of his speech, because he doubts and self-corrects.

Kristen Stewart likes to work on stories that she feels are necessary for viewers. "This was. Not so much to tell in a very specific way what Seberg lived, but how through it we come to a time and a place." But the Frenchwoman was one of the pioneers in using her star position to be a spokesperson for social causes, something that today has become commonplace. "And it seems good that we all use the speakers, the platforms around us to make our opinions clear," she says. "I don't mean just famous actors and actresses, but everybody. That's what social networks are for, or that should be useful for being oneself. Actually, I don't know what I do talking about these networks if I don't have I recognize that I live in a privileged place and benefit from it. I don't even have to raise my voice: you journalists ask me the questions. Well, I'm not special and I think the conversation has been opened with social networks to everyone. "

When asked about whether she feels spied on in today's world, Stewart jokes, recklessly, about the intentions of the film's producers, Amazon Studios. She gets serious and goes into it: "Not the whole society is a closed set. And that's why you don't have to be angry when someone thinks the opposite of you [Stewart gestures as if screaming]. Sometimes there you are projecting your own insecurities into another people".
