Kristen's Interview from Julia Magazine (Norway) scans + translation

Exclusive! Julia meets Kristen Stewart

Finally! The Breaking Dawn premiere is just a few days away. Julia make sure to grab a coffee with Kristen Stewart.

Kristen Stewart looks shocked on the cup filled with steaming, hot coffee.

- Who put this here? Is it for me? Did someone put poison in my coffee?!
She then laugh and says:
- I'm just kidding.

Kristen takes a sip from her coffee with a big smile on her mouth. She's dressed up with jeans, a saggy t-shirt with V-neck and wide arms. On her legs, she is wearing light-blue sneakers. Her hair is dark-brown and she's almost with no makeup on. Her nail polish is dark blue. Last time Julia met Kristen, she was very shy. Today, she's more talkative and very funny.


How have you changed as a person since the first Twilight-movie?

- I was only 17 when I started the first movie. Now I'm 21 and have now become a grown up. I think, at least. I'll never be entire grown up, ha-ha! But I?m not as unsure and shy like when I was younger.

Can it be seen that you've more grown up now, by the movie-roles you choose?

- Yes, except from Twilight, I've played in some movies that are not for children. It's always different reasons for why I choose a movie to be in, It could be a well-written manuscript, a good director or an interesting story that wakes attention and that make me feel like I have to be in exactly that movie.

Is it strange that the series are going to an ending?

- Yes, it's strange. Usually it doesn't feel like you are ending a chapter in your life when you are finishing a movie, 'Ok, it's over now, goodbye all friends, I'm now moving on to a new project'. But the Twilight-movies are different. They?ve been a huge part of my life in such a long time that it will feel like a part of me is gone forever.

At least you have the movies left as memories

- Exactly. It's good memories. I've met all my best friends through the last years, so the movies have given me beautiful memories for the rest of my life.

Do you love your job?

- Yes, I really do! I love to be an actress and I'm so happy and grateful that I get to work with this.

Isn't it tiring to be forced to have bodyguards?

- No. I love my bodyguard. He's big, watch out! Ha-ha. We've become very good friends and it feels safe to have him close by, even if it's not always necessary. But for example if I'm on a big film-festival and a group of photographers gets an eye on me, and runs screaming to me, it can be kind of scary. That's when I need someone to help me keep them on a distance.

Can't Robert protect you?

- Ha-Ha. Not in those situations. They are even more interested in Robert than they are in me!

What's make it so fun to pretend to be another person than yourself?

- I think everyone likes it. Especially young kids. They pretend to be different persons, changing their voice and act out different scenes. Adults also 'play' different roles, but in another way. Maybe they are different persons at work, than home. Or that they act different, depending on who they are with. When you act in theater or movies, you get to pretend you are someone else. It's exiting and it keeps your fantasy going.

Do you write your own manuscript?

- I love to write. I write every day, diary and stories. Maybe, someday, it will be a manuscript, let's see.

In Breaking Dawn, Bella gets married. Did you get to choose the wedding dress?

- I got to try it on, but it was the movies costume designer, together with Stephenie Meyer, who wrote the book, that decided how it would look.

Were you nervous on the wedding day?

- Yes, actually. In a way it was like another day of shooting. But at the same time very personally to be dressed up in a wedding dress and be a part of a wedding. I got nervous. It was a huge day and it was an ordeal for me as a bride, even though it was not on real.

How was Robert when you shoot the wedding scenes?

- Robert is so silly. He just wanted to tease me and laugh at me, all the time. But it couldn't be like that. He had to be serious during the shooting. But as soon cameras were off again, we just joked around again, as usual.

What will you miss most about Bella?

- I've been in this role for such a long time and Bella has become a part of me. I love Bella because she?s such a strong girl that likes to help people. She?s not very scared. She has this inherent anger and stubbornness that keeps her move forward and being a good leader. That's what I admire!

NEW interview with Kristen talks about love, marriage and pregnancy

It’s the beginning of the end for Bella Swan, but for the actress who plays her, it’s the end of the first major milestone in her career. Just 21, Kristen Stewart has spent the last three years of her life being one of the most famous faces in the world. The Twilight Saga can’t be avoided—it’s released a film a year since 2008 and made tabloid staples (for better or worse) out of stars Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner. For a young actress whose first love is the craft, not the celebrity, it’s been intense. But as Kristen Stewart tells Boxoffice, she’s so fused with the role of Bella Swan, she’s invented whole pages of Bella’s history that she swore were in the original books—until she looked it up and realized she’d just imagined those memories. So since she knows Bella better than anybody—maybe even better than Stephenie Meyer—we ask if she really thinks Bella is ready for marriage? And after so many years on the set, what was it like waking up knowing she’d never play Bella again?

What’s it like working on a film where people are so fascinated by the tiny details? However you and your hair designer decide to style your hair for the wedding, thousands of girls are going to copy it for their own wedding or prom.

It’s funny. It’s something you have to put out of your mind while you’re working, or else it’s incredibly heavy, it weighs you down. You want to do something that is clear to you. But at the same time, it makes it exciting, like, “I hope they like it!” I’m also on their level: I’m just as worried about how the hair is going to look. It’s just not normal for other people to be as concerned about something that you’re concerned about on the movie. Usually, people don’t know, people don’t care. It’s unique, really unique in that way. I’ve never experienced that on another project.

Knowing that other people take your role as seriously as you do—it’s kind of a great confluence of actor and audience.

Yeah. It really is pretty amazing, and it’s so different. I’ve had a taste of it in a couple movies, but this case was the most extreme. Playing real people, you get a similar experience. With Joan Jett [in The Runaways] and then and then On the Road, where I play this woman who’s absolutely f–king incredible, LuAnne Henderson [who inspired the character of Marylou in the novel and film]. That was so important on a level that had nothing to do with me. So it’s a similar experience. Usually, I own these parts—they’re mine and the director’s and the writer’s. But this has relevance on another level in the real world.

That’s true. Especially with On the Road, Marylou is based on a real person but she’s also existed in the minds of readers for six decades. And you’ve got the pressure to make them all happy with your take on that character. Were there moments during Twilight where you were wondering how much you could make the character your own?

Having read the books and sitting down with everyone involved, it’s so funny. People don’t love the same things you love all the time. And some things I would remember from the book never existed. It was odd. Like, that something had happened to Bella between films and I would fight tooth and nail for it, but it wasn’t there. I had made it up. It was something I had imagined from between the times that are there. Which is a strange experience, especially when you’re arguing with the director. Then I’d go back and read chapter 23 and it wasn’t there. It was so weird. But different things are important to different people and you’ve got to choose. And that’s what makes the job cool, that’s what makes the movie ours. It’s a strange thing. It’s owned by so many people at this point—it has such a huge past and we’ve had so many directors. I must sound totally corny and weird, but it’s loved by an insanely diverse and large group of people.

We’ve culled pictures of Twilight fans posing with their favorite piece of memorabilia, or posing next to paintings they’ve made—sometimes even whole wall murals in their own house. I love their enthusiasm.

So do I. I always feel this intensely about things I work on, but to suddenly look up and see that other people do as well, there’s nothing more to say other than that it feels good. It’s nice to share that. On an energy level, that’s going to fuel you. It feels cool.

You mentioned all the directors you’ve been through. That makes you and Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner the old guard—you know the characters and this world so well. What do you tell the directors when they start?

Everyone was so different, it always felt fresh. As much as going back and working with Rob and Taylor and the rest of the cast and everyone else who’d been there the whole time was like picking up where we left off, at the same time we were pretty accepting of the fact that we were going to have different directors on every one. The director, you follow him. He sets the tone 100 percent. I love that. Feeling lost is not a cool thing and I rely heavily on directors. It’s the nature of doing the job—I don’t dictate, he does. Everyone genuinely had different ideas—not even different ideas, they were moved by very different things. The things that got them off about the project were all very, very different. That was interesting to see.

How did Bill Condon fit in? What made him different?

He had this very unobtrusive gentleness. He’s incredibly sweet. It’s funny, now I’m describing him as a character, but he accepts things that are simple, and I feel the same way. Somehow, the romance is easier to accept in this movie. Things started to feel genuine again, things started to feel real again, because he believed in them so much. And that’s pretty awesome considering the point in the series that this movie is at. I think that Bill is really collaborative and awesome, and I think that he really was able to get that Edward and Bella are united now and they really do feel, at least to me—or they’re working on becoming-whatever the f–k it means to be “adult.” And it’s nice not to see them scrambling around and not knowing what the f–k they’re doing. They’re incredibly steadfast at this point, and I feel like I believe it mostly because of Bill. For whatever reason, it’s hard to make these movies and I like how this one turned out, I really do.

Which makes sense because this is the book where things really get real: they make permanent decisions. Do you think Bella understands what marriage means at 18 years old?

Marriage means something so different to everyone. I think that’s just another step for her. I think it’s an interesting story point that marriage has no regard for her—she’s doing it for him. I get asked constantly whether I think she’s a strong character, whether I think she’s subject completely to this man and is a mindless follower. I think it takes a really ballsy person—and someone who really knows themselves—to be able to give it up and know that it’s worth it and know that the person they’re doing it with is on the same level. I just don’t really understand why people approach it from that way. Imagine if they were both girls or both guys, I think that Edward would probably be criticized just as much. They’re both kind of lost and crazy and stupid in the beginning, and in the end they really have f–king committed to each other. They both give things up and lose things. And I don’t understand why it’s criticized. Maybe because I’ve played the part and worked through it in my head in every way, but I don’t get it.

People look at Romeo and Juliet as this infatuation story between two stupid kids, but if they had lived longer, they might have been able to prove themselves.

Yeah. That was totally circumstantial. You look back on it and go, “No! Why the f–k did that have to happen?” Luckily, Edward and Bella are just a little bit more lucky.

I’m projecting some of my own fears onto this, but the idea of playing a character who is pregnant with something literally otherworldly that’s dominating her from within sounds totally terrifying. Especially having never been pregnant yourself.

What was strange was that was my every inclination playing the scenes, what the first rehearsal would always end up being. But ultimately, it became one of my favorite things to play: this pregnant, feral cat in the corner of a room who’s just like, “Stay the f–k away from me!” All that matters is what is inside, and that is awesome. But it took a little bit to get inside and on that page in a real way. It’s funny, you look down and your instinct is to be like, “Ugh!” But you can’t do that. It hurts, but it’s something that you’re willing to take. And it’s f–king weird. It really was like an alien baby pregnancy. It was so weird to get all of the logistics right and talking to Stephenie [Meyer, the author of the Twilight series] about really weird s–t. About [gestational] sacs and how you can get through them-just so many conversations about logistical pregnancy vampire baby stuff.

You know this character so well, what’s it like to take her through this huge change when she becomes a vampire herself?

It felt good. It was really weird. It was such a long process of the two movies being shot at the same time as if they’re one. You shoot, obviously, out of order and you keep going back and forth between pregnant, human and dead vampire Bella. There’s so many different versions of Bella in this, it’s insane. It was a strange experience walking on set the first time I played a scene as a vampire because I’d watched everyone around me doing it all the time. I sound so lame, but vampire Bella really is my favorite character—she’s very representative of a matriarch. She’s very intuitive on almost a psychic level and no one ever acknowledges it, which is interesting. Maybe that says something about Stephenie that she doesn’t get respect for all of her f–king amazing qualities. And that’s also one of the things that makes her appealing to me, so that’s not a strike at it—that’s something that I like about it. And I think it’s nice to see her finally get what she wants. That’s probably the best thing, even if it sounds simple and indulgent, which is why the f–king thing is criticized all the time. It’s nice to see people be happy. And she really-if I’ve played it right-is born to be where she is.

Tell me about the morning after the last day of shooting where you woke up knowing you’ll never go back to that set.

You literally go through a range of every single emotion. I didn’t care, and then ten minutes later I’d care a lot. I think it’s different on every movie, and obviously this it’s going to be the most heightened. Luckily I don’t have to say goodbye to anyone. That’s different. Usually, you kind of know at the end of a five week thing that you’re not going to hold on to every single relationship that you form on these little movies, and I’ve done a lot of those. But Twilight’s been a unique experience. It wasn’t like saying goodbye to everyone and how sad that is. It’s more like that you feel done. You feel like you’ve done your job. And obviously, it’s been a long process and I can’t just generally say, “Oh yeah! I was completely happy!” It’s definitely been torturing me for a little while. At the end of the day, I really f–king love it. I can’t wait for these two to come out. I feel like we really take it up a notch.

You started acting at nine and already had your own career before Twilight. And between Twilight films, you’ve pursued your own daring films like The Runaways [as Joan Jett] and Welcome to the Rileys [as a homeless teen hooker]. Now working with child actresses like Mackenzie Foy [cast as Bella's fast-growing vampire daughter] who is the same age now that you were then, what advice can you give about carving out their own career.

It’s tough to say. I’ve done what I’ve done, and it feels like a lot. But at the same time, I feel so young, so it’s weird for me to spout out stuff or give advice. It makes me cringe a little bit. But if I personalize it, I think it’s pretty important not to do anything that doesn’t feel right. People do things constantly in this business that they do not believe in, and that’s obviously where people make huge errors. Even if I make a bad movie, I look back and go, “Well, that thing didn’t necessarily turn out the way I wanted it, or it could have been better, but I loved the experience and it was something that was worthwhile. Basically—and this is so lame—but if you follow your heart, you’re never going to regret anything, even if you completely mess up constantly. Whenever I hear anyone giving acting advice, it’s either really vague and general like, “Follow your dreams,” which is basically what I’m saying, or actual agent-y weird s–t that I have absolutely no idea about.

Corny advice is corny because it’s true.

Exactly. In most cases.

You’re shooting Snow White and the Huntsman right now which imagines Snow White as this warrior princess. What’s her fighting style like?

Not to trivialize it at all, but it’s hard to play an action hero who is also the most compassionate person on earth. You can’t hate. You epitomize bleeding hearts, so how the f–k do you do an action movie like that? She is sort of the last shred of hope for her land. She has this ethereal, spiritual connection to her people-she really feels things—and so it’s like we don’t really feel empathy. I’ve had some f–king eye-opening experiences on this movie. I think that to truly care for something isn’t just putting yourself in that situation aesthetically and then going, “Oh my god, I feel so bad for them.” It’s truly not thinking of yourself at all. The way that you fight is that you must take out anything that hurt your people. Basically, I’m fighting evil—I’m fighting the most evil motherf–kers-and it’s fine that they’re being killed. It’s anguish. It’s literally f–king anguish. She takes absolutely no pleasure in ever hurting anything. I’m exhausted right now and I was thinking, “The fight stuff is coming up, maybe that won’t be so bad.” And then I realized that they’re probably going to be my most emotional scenes because I’m killing people and I’m Snow White. It’s a really f–king cool way to approach a movie where so many people die. Not that I’m criticizing violent movies—I love them, generally—but it is nice to do it this way.

You’re the type of fighter who would take a bullet.

Yeah, and also very impulsive. She hasn’t learned how to fight—she’s just smart, she’s just fast. If you’re smarter than someone and you’re not scared and you know you’re doing it for the right reasons, it doesn’t matter how big you are: you could probably f–k them up. She’s a weird kind of savant. She has to kind of click off her mind. You either have to completely feel it or completely turn it off and just slaughter people. Which is awful, but they’re the bad guys, so whatever.

Sarah Clarke talks about Kristen and 'Breaking Dawn'

As the final countdown begins, Popstar sat down for a chat with actress Sarah Clarke who portrays Bella's enigmatic (if not always present) mother Renee Dwyer.  During this exclusive interview, Sarah talks about Breaking Dawn I (2011) and delves into her character, offering fans new insight into Renee's complex relationship with her daughter.   She also gives us her take on what makes this installment in the Twilight Saga different from it's predecessors, and reveals the one major cast member she has yet to meet. 

Tell us about playing Bella's mother.

It's such a weird role {laughs}.  An enigmatic one for me, because when reading the books I was like, "Where's the mom? What is she doing?" Bill and I had a great time with Kristen sort of figuring out the relationship, especially with the wedding and how it brings up all the old bonds that never really go away.

I definitely had to make my peace with the kind of mother that I am as Renee because I would be just a lot more involved {laughs}.  So it was a very interesting discussion that Kristen and I ended up having in terms of the role reversal in our relationship.

In light of the storyline that includes Bella's marriage and pregnancy in the film, will we finally see more of you onscreen?

Oh yea.  We have some great scenes.  I do get to come to the wedding, so I get to have a lot of those conversations that I was hoping would happen.  And they do happen.  Bill was such a firm believer that we have to believe that this mother was real - that there really is some connection that grounds her in reality because that makes the transition that much harder for her.  It can't be just about the dad and his inability to communicate, you know?  It definitely brings for Renee this idea of a full circle to her own marriage and her own reasons for getting married quickly, and then sort of abandoning my family.  None of that really comes out, per se, in the story lines but it's something that resonates through Renee at the wedding and in what her daughter is embarking on.

Did You Get to do scenes with more of the cast this time around?

I did.  I got to meet all the characters, finally.  It's so funny because I knew Peter Facinelli from a previous project and I saw him during the first movie because I was rehearsing when they were rehearsing, but then I never got to see anybody again except Billy {laughs}.  Billy Burke, Robert Pattinson, and Kristen Stewart were sort of like my understanding of the movie.  I still have yet to meet Taylor Lautner.  I haven't come across him, even though I met all the other werewolves.  Isn't that funny? But that's how big this cast is.  I got to know some of the vampires really well - some that I don't have scenes with.  It's funny the people I did become close with while shooting that I never even got to work with.

Tell us something about Renee that even the most dedicated Twi-hards may not know.

Well probably the back story that we created that didn't really make it in, but it helps forge the friendship and the relationship.  I think the reason I have such a lenient, or shall we say "hands-off" approach as a mother, is my own back story as to how I went off and became a mother so quickly.  We got pregnant really quickly, decided to elope.  I just left my whole life and decided to follow him (Charlie Swan) to Forks and then was miserable there.  I thought it would all work out and I loved my daughter, I just couldn't take his quiet and being isolated, basically.  Because I sort of forced her to take on my way of life and breaking up The Family by leaving him, I think there was a part of me that when she turned 18 I had to let her follow her heart and only let me in when she wanted to.  Because I see myself in her, I know that she's gotta figure this out for herself and I've given her the tools to do that.

What's crazy is what then ensues, and I just wish that Stephenie Meyer had written more for me after the wedding because that's the time that I think it would have been so interesting as a mother.  I'm speculating here, but I just don't think Stephenie knew how to reconcile that, because I think any mother would have been like, "You're coming home with me."  So that's the only disappointment that I had was that Stephenie didn't rise to that challenge to say "This would be really interesting as to how to convince the mom that everything is OK, and that she's OK with it."  It probably was too complicated.

Is there anything interesting or funny that happened during filming that you'd like to share?

I will say that when we were in Squamish, this remotely beautiful location where the wedding scene is, it rained probably every day except for the day of the wedding.  We were like "How are they going to make this wedding look pretty when everything is drenched?"  And they did pull it off.  But I was laughing one night because of course they dressed us as if it was summer, it's a summer night, and for whatever reason they decided they need to have a tent.  They really wanted to make it outdoors.  So they had all these tarps and things, but it was just so loud from the rain.  And you're literally sitting at the dinner table at the reception and there's like a waterfall next to you from the tarp.  You're soaking wet.  The candles aren't staying lit.  They're coming to put a coat on you between takes because it's freezing.  The power went out a couple of times, the wind generator died a couple of times.  There was a cougar that came onto the set one day.  We were in the woods, so it was like Squamish didn't care that we were shooting a movie {laughs}.

But in the end, from the footage I did see, they still managed to extricate all the unsightly things and make it beautiful.  It will be exciting to see it.

So making movies is not always so glamorous then.  Is that what you're trying to say?{laughs}.

It's so not! {laughs}.  You would have been laughing at how people were coping with this.  Even the makeup and the contacts and everything.  I know the vampires have tons of stories of when they were shooting the fight sequences.  They had to be in the fake snow and it was always getting into people's eyes.  The contacts were a big issue with having to wear them day in and day out with all the dust and different things.  I think it was really tough at times.  But luckily, Renee being human, didn't have to suffer those indignities {laughs}.

Is there anything about Breaking Dawn Part I (2011) that is fundamentally unique from the other Twilight Saga films?

I think it's that you do get to see all the different characters together under one roof.  That in itself is exciting in how it all plays out.

What has been the best part of being part of the Twilight phenomenon?

It is a phenomenon and I would have to say just getting to work with these people.  I enjoy Kristen and I was really happy I got to play her mom.  I feel such an affinity for her and I really like her a lot, and Rob as well.  Working with all the directors.  Just to watch something on this scale unfold and to watch the progression of it from the first movie (which you would have thought was an independent film the way we were shooting it), to the way it was by the end.  It really did have a grand scale to it, and that doesn't come around very often.

Kristen and Rob's Vanity Fair Italy interview

Translated Transcript

First Question: and you, what do you think about weddings?
Rob: I don't know until now, I've been around twenty funerals and just 2 weddings, certainly for what I saw they're more fun than the funerals.

but, didn't you got emotional after the ring exchange?
Rob: the truth? I think that the major part of the men who get married, live the same kind of experience: you stay there, waiting.. the wedding day is a woman's thing, it's their day. It was different for Kristen: the dress, walking to the altar, the music. I got away with an "you are very pretty, let's get married!"
Kristen: I have to admit it, I felt like a real bride: at the center of the attention, in a wonderful dress.. for that scene everybody had to leave their phones before entering: the dress had to be kept a secret.

In the movie there's also a sex scene, it was hard to film it?!
Kristen: To be honest it was funny to shoot, when there's confidence with someone everything comes naturally
Rob: It was more embarrassing to take off my shirt near Taylor, have you seen his abs?! I felt like a loser.

there's everything in this movie: sex, wedding, the honeymoon..
Kristen: yes, in Brazil. But since that we (of Twilight) are pro in programming stuffs, we went there during the rainy season. It was fun tho.
Rob: yeah: the honeymoon was really fun even if it was always raining.


and then you have a kid…
Rob: I'm not the one who gives birth.
Kristen: the baby bump was huge, unusually lightweight

How did you felt being pregnant?
Kristen: do I have to be honest? not particularly sexy

the sex, honeymoon and the kid were all good: wasn't there something about Twilight that you hated?!
Rob: contact lenses, a torture and I'll definitely not miss them
Kristen: I agree: terrible and painful, but I particularly hated them because you couldn't watch people directly in the eyes, the humanity aspect was off in someway

you have shot all the Twilight movies, so is over for you. but everybody else have to wait until the second part of BD.. How do you feel about it?!
Rob: Are you sure it's over? it depends on Stephenie Meyer. I'll say it right now, if she writes a sequel, I'll be in.
Kristen: it will be over only when we'll talk about it using the past tense. It's been a really important part of my life: I was 17 when it started and now I'm 21. And finally I can legally drink.

and your dreams, before Twilight?
Kristen: Let's see: I didn't move to Sydney, the city I love the most, and I think I'll not do it for quite some time. I really wanted to continue studying, but that was in the past. Right now I'm happy like this.. ah yeah I still write.
Rob: When I was a kid I wanted to be a pianist in a restaurant in the south of France. I went there with my dad, and I saw a relaxed man in a smoking playing, with a glass of Whiskey on the piano. I thought it was the coolest thing in the world. I'll admit it: what it happened to me with Twilight, it's not the life I thought I would have .

Why Kristen Stewart Matters: A Screed About Girls, Role Models And Tearing Down Those Who Are Different

Why Kristen Stewart Matters: A Screed About Girls, Role Models And Tearing Down Those Who Are Different

Some exercepts from the article written by Kate Spencer:

"It’s confused me for years as to why the general reaction to Kristen is so negative. Why more people - more women - don’t applaud her and say, “thank fucking god.” Because that’s what I say every time I see her walking down a red carpet in a pair of Vans, every time I hear her swear, every time I read an interview where she shuts down repeated inquiries about who she’s dating and attempts to answer ridiculously inane questions with a thoughtfulness that is so rarely found in Hollywood these days."

"As a “journalist” (quotes because duh, I’m a nerdy blogger who never learned AP style) I find this criticism to be unfounded. I’ve interviewed Kristen a few times and she’s pleasant, sweet and spends a lot of time listening to each question and offering up an interesting and at times complex response. Yes, she smiles and laughs. She also furrows her brow and bites her nails in thought. She comes across as incredibly unrehearsed and real, and in a world when many actors offer up robotic responses taught by a media trainer, it’s overwhelmingly refreshing."

"What the critics often tend to ignore, oddly enough, is Kristen’s massive and unconditionally supportive fan base. They are active and vocal and speak of her like a close friend. I’d argue that the reasons they adore her are the same as the ones I’ve listed above, and I trust that they’ll tell me if I’m wrong (@katespencer). Clearly, she’s getting through to an ever-growing group women and girls who see a part of themselves in her; who admire her ability to stand apart from the accepted and encouraged norm. Why this is never part of the media’s Kristen Stewart coverage has baffled me since the beginning. "

"Bill Condon, the director of Breaking Dawn, said the following about Kristen Stewart in an interview. “She was pitched a female role in a comic-book superhero movie that’s about to get started - I won’t say which one - and she was like, ‘Well, screw that.
