My family is just embarrassingly proud of me. My brothers get a little protective... overly protective. I've made rules now where I say: "You can't go outside and scream at people if they have cameras!"
Kristen StewartYou're literally being an actor - you're pretending - and that's not what I like to do.
Kristen StewartI'm just going to let people watch whatever little movie they think our lives are and go for it.
Kristen StewartI really, specifically, love acting, and I think it's a really cool thing to be really indulgent and follow that. I have a lot of ambitions in life, but for the next few years, I just want to be an actor. That's a lucky opportunity, and that drives me to want to be good at that.
Kristen StewartWhen you can literally Google anything, you don't feel like you have to go see it in person. You can do a lot of traveling in your bedroom, but you're not touching anything and you're not feeling it.
Kristen StewartSome people work to have a weekend and so on the weekend they genuinely don't think about anything apart from the fact that they're on their weekend. Some people are like that so maybe some people would be like, "Yeah that'd be great. Take away my anxiety and give me a nice lounge chair." But I would be so not interested in that.
Kristen StewartA lot of actors think that what we do is so important, like we're saving people's lives or something.
Kristen StewartI have been criticized a lot for not looking perfect in every photograph. I'm not embarrassed about it. I'm proud of it. If I took perfect pictures all the time, the people standing in the room with me, or on the carpet, would think, 'What an actress! What a faker!'
Kristen StewartTimes have changed, but people don't change. That's why ON THE ROAD has never been irrelevant.
Kristen StewartPeople expect it to be easy because there you are, out there, doing the thing that you want and making lots of money out of it. But, you know, I'm not that smooth. I can get clumsy around certain people. Like if I were to sit down and think, 'OK, I'm really famous, how am I going to conduct myself in public?' I wouldn't know who that person would be! It would be a lot easier if I could, but I can't.
Kristen StewartIt's weird talking about projects as an actor because you're so in them. I would prefer to write a paper and deliver it to everyone via e-mail.
Kristen StewartIt's a funny thing: You want so badly for people to see what you do - you're proud of it - and I like the effect that movies have on people. But the attention can also make me uncomfortable.
Kristen StewartI think that I have a pretty varied taste in music I think. And it is primarily rock music big umbrella that I am, I am not into hip-hop. But, I do like both.
Kristen StewartI'm 19, and, being a public figure, I'm supposed to present myself in a certain way, but it's hard and you're never going to be able to tell people who you are through the media.
Kristen StewartIt took me a long time to realise that I was a girl as a teenager. At that point I never really believed it. I looked like a boy for a long time. Now, finally, I feel like a woman.
Kristen StewartThere's no way to be prepared for a conversation with someone you don't know about something that means the world to you.
Kristen StewartI'm going to stop smoking. I'm not such a good smoker, anyway. It's not in my bones. I'm gonna drop it.
Kristen StewartI think to be a good director you have to be a good person and you have to care about people.
Kristen StewartI do not approach my life tactfully at all, i'm incredibly impulsive and I am definitely an intense weirdo. I love living and I love people. They trip me out and I want to know more about them all the time. That isn't something I can turn off and on.
Kristen StewartI do things very impulsively; I don't really like to plan things at all. If I am passionate about something then I will do it.
Kristen StewartLook at a picture of me before I was 15. I am a boy. I wore my brother's clothes, dude!
Kristen StewartI can only play characters that I feel like are real people and in a complete way and in such a whole way that if I fake any aspect of it I will have failed them and literally they're slaughtered.
Kristen StewartThe strangest part about being famous is you don't get to give first impressions anymore. Everyone already has an impression of you before you meet them.
Kristen StewartI don't think that there's much hiding that actors can do. If you're doing good work, you're showing a part of yourself to someone.
Kristen StewartWhat I did suffer when I was young was because I was sort of a hick coming into New York City. I was made fun of by a lot of the Factory people. Even Andy Warhol thought I was a hick.
Kristen StewartMaking movies is just as much of a game. They say Hollywood is like high school with money.
Kristen StewartI like being in movies that have a great story. I'm not so interested in being a Hollywood star. It's a job, you know. When you wake up at six in the morning every day for a week, it feels like hard work.
Kristen StewartAny good relationship that I've had with an actor has always been so emotional and personal. If you don't have that then you're just lying.
Kristen StewartFor most actors, it's such a struggle to get work. Once they have it, they feel that there's an enormous amount of pressure on them to make it work, and have everyone love them.
Kristen StewartIt doesn't matter if you're doing a studio movie or you're doing an independent movie. When you get to set and you're doing a scene, it's always going to be the same job.
Kristen StewartThis weird thing happens when you're in a movie that has some level of success. People start offering you all kinds of things, and they just expect you to do them because they'll be good for your career. It's not about the project's integrity or anything like that.
Kristen StewartAnytime I hear that somebody's really rich, the first question is, 'Do you do anything with it? Or do you, like, chill? You just sit on it?'
Kristen StewartWith every project, you feel like you're trying to find your place to vent. For any actor, that's typically the feeling that drives you to do it.
Kristen StewartI can't do what my mother did, which is tell me every single day of my life about her labor and how long it was and how it was 36 hours of hell .
Kristen StewartI went through an experience that taught me that as soon as you think that you know how your life is going to be, something in the universe will make you realize that you really are not that in control of it.
