I love sitting down and having actual conversations. But I don't do that sound-bite, be-candidly-funny thing.
Kristen StewartWhen I was a kid, you went and saw movies. You knew very little about the actor's personal life except what would be, like, in Photoplay or something. We didn't hear "The Making of..." every single movie, and actors didn't have to put this tremendous piece of work that they'd done into a sound bite.
Kristen StewartPeople have a hard time accepting when someone displays even the slightest amount of discomfort in the spotlight. You're supposed to soak up every bit of fame like itโs sunshine.
Kristen StewartWho knows why women aren't - obviously, rock 'n' roll, I keep saying this, but aggressive and in a way that is sexually aggressive, like the singer is the aggressor. And people don't want to see girls in that position. They would rather go after them.
Kristen StewartAppreciate what you've got and follow your heart and you're all good. Don't over-complicate things.
Kristen StewartSincerity seems to be a problem today. I'd rather be true and hated than be false and fool people.
Kristen StewartI'm definitely never going to be a biker. I'm scared of cars so the idea of riding a motorcycle is just never going to be something that I'm into.
Kristen StewartSure, 'Twilight' is really huge right now and everybody's freaking out over it, but it will go away soon and I will be back to doing what I'm used to doing: weird little movies that nobody sees.
Kristen StewartIf the movie is good then great, but if it's not then God, I feel so bad for that person with their face fifty feet tall, all blown up. Some people would be happy with that, that as long as their face was out there they're stoked about it. I'm not like that.
Kristen StewartI think I always knew that I wanted to adopt. It never meant that I didn't want to have my own children - I always felt that if I were in the right circumstances then I would totally have my own children.
Kristen StewartOn the one hand I have very traditional values: I'm looking for love and want a baby one day. On the other hand, I have a secret and rebel side, that I maybe took from an Australian mom who handed down to me the love for adventure and freedom. And sometimes I feel a bit offbeat.
Kristen StewartI've actually always been interested in following a character more long term, but the only place to really do that as an actor is on a TV series.
Kristen StewartI don't want to discredit people's individuality, but I think people are pretty much the same. People are very similar. If you have a good enough imagination then you can feel things that you personally have never done before. That's acting.
Kristen StewartSuccess is always something completely different to people. I feel like I've succeeded, if I'm doing something that makes me happy and I'm not lying to anybody.
Kristen StewartI guarantee whenever I get married or have a baby, everyone is going to want to know my kid's name and I'm not going to say it for ages. That's just the way I want to do it. It'll come out but it won't have come from me.
Kristen StewartReally, I'm incredibly disjointed and not candid. Just in general, my thoughts tend to come out in little spurts that don't necessarily connect. If you hang around long enough, you can find the linear path. But it will take a second. That is why these interviews never go well for me.
Kristen StewartPeople don't really recognize me often. I think I just look different in person or something. I'm also not very approachable, and maybe they're just like 'Ooohhh, she's scary!'
Kristen StewartI don't want to be Angelina Jolie. Not that Angelina Jolie is not the most talented, beautiful, successful, amazing, admirable person who does good things for the world, but I don't want to be a movie star like that.
Kristen StewartIt's very counterintuitive to boil down something so personal, something that requires privacy. All of a sudden, you open it up to the world and put it in a context where you could easily trivialize what you've done. If people sense that discomfort, they're not wrong.
Kristen StewartI go outside, and I'm wearing a funky T-shirt and my hair is dirty, and people say, 'What's wrong with her? She needs to invest in a hairbrush.'
Kristen StewartI'm obsessed with my cat. We have a really strong, really weird codependent, almost Bella/Edward relationship. I'm going to be a crazy cat lady one day, I'm sure.
Kristen StewartI want to go to college. I'm going to take four years off. I don't want to miss that. I want to be a writer. I think that'd be awesome.
Kristen StewartIt's amazing to realize that a lot of the insecurities I had when I was younger have pretty much disappeared.
Kristen StewartYou watch the interview afterwards, and they didn't really say much, but it's interesting, funny, and engaging. Whereas I sit there and look a little bit too serious, and as soon as that happens then you're uncomfortable and you don't want to watch.
Kristen StewartEveryone wants to know about the gold ring. Everyone knows already - it's ridiculous.
Kristen StewartI just really am trying, trying, all the time. But I like to be scared. I love to suddenly feel out of control.
Kristen StewartI don't want to make statements about where I'm gonna be in 30 years. But as of right now, I definitely have a different relationship with the way I look. It's not all-consuming.
Kristen StewartWhat I really mean is that actors do the interview process because they have to. It's a good bargain: If I can do this part then I'll sell it. I just wish it wasn't me who had to do it because it feels very unnatural.
Kristen StewartPeople sometimes actually get me to think I take things too seriously and maybe I'm too earnest and it's coming across like I'm better than them.
Kristen StewartYou kind of go through situations that don't work out, and then all of a sudden you have this baby in your hands and you forget about all of that. You forget about the last three years of your life. You just realize that everything unfolded exactly the way it was supposed to unfold.
Kristen StewartWhen I stopped going to school, I got the strongest dose of perspective. When you're a kid, your friends, your school, your teachers, your family - that's your whole world, your whole existence. And then when I stopped going, I lost all my friends but the few that were really close to me.
Kristen StewartI don't talk to anybody about my personal life, and maybe that perpetuates it, too. But it's really important to own what you want to own and keep it to yourself.
Kristen StewartIt's impossible to always get across what I'm trying to say, but, if I just stay honest, then I'm not going to look back on any of these interviews and wonder what I was trying to do or be.
Kristen StewartIt's not like I sit around watching my movies again and again, but I've never quite believed actors when they say they don't watch themselves.
Kristen StewartI don't want to make movies for kids, and I don't want to make movies for adults either.
Kristen StewartPeople are obsessed. There's an incredibly large group of people that spend most of their time considering other people's lives. It's strange to me.
Kristen StewartI think in three or four years, there are going to be a whole lot more people who donโt think itโs necessary to figure out if youโre gay or straight. Itโs like, just do your thing.
