If you're an honest person, you'll make mistakes, but it'll be okay. The most interesting things happen after making mistakes.
Kristen StewartYou easily close yourself off to certain things because you want to seem like you know it all, or you're not weak - emotion is often confused as weakness - so when emotions are undeniably physically affecting you, I think it's a gift.
Kristen StewartI just happened to have enough time to be able to take other parts between those first few Twilight films. But it wasn't about proving to people that I had something else to give.
Kristen StewartI want to make books. I want to take pictures and then write all over the pictures. And then I don't have to say a complete story, because I have the picture, and I have just a word.
Kristen StewartI think the way I approach things has something to do with growing up and seeing my parents go to work every day.
Kristen StewartI want to go to college for literature. I want to be a writer. I mean, I love what I do, but its not all I want to do-be a professional liar for the rest of my life.
Kristen StewartI think I've gone through my life with the understanding that you've got to let go and you can't think that you're going to control your destiny.
Kristen StewartReading something for the first time and getting this feeling like the material provokes you on some level, and doing the movie is really just sort of defining and figuring out why exactly you felt certain things when you read it.
Kristen StewartAs soon as I stopped trying to control everything that came out of my mouth and every picture that came out, that's when I became so much happier.
Kristen StewartI think I'm a bit less inhibited, and not thinking too much before speaking. It's not about being shameful, I'm just a bit more unabashedly myself because of this thing, and it probably started at age 15. I can be around people and say what I think without fear.
Kristen StewartI had to act in a school play when I was about ten years old. I really didn't want to do it. But everyone had to do it so I didn't have a choice. A talent agent came and watched it and later gave me some work. It's funny because I'd always known that I wanted a movie career. I just didn't think that I would be in the movies.
Kristen StewartThere are always a lot of leading questions and opinions. Of course, our work is creative, and it's subjective.
Kristen StewartI have a fan-base that apparently like you know, people...it's not that they look up to but you have certain figures that, you know, you'd like to be more like and people really love Bella and I do too but I'm not her...I don't think anybody expects me to try to just for the rest of my career appease an audience that once liked "Twilight", you know what I mean?
Kristen StewartMy best friend just had a baby, and she's my age. So I'm a godmom now, which is crazy.
Kristen StewartI always say every single moment that has led me to this moment has made me who I am.
Kristen StewartEven while starting out I took things very seriously; I wasn't the sort of kid that would do a doll commercial or do a series for Nickelodeon. They asked me to do silly things, and I wasn't a silly kid.
Kristen StewartI'm not the type of person that just needs to feel concrete and like nothing's going to change. I revel in the change.
Kristen StewartMy brother's a grip. My mom's a scriptwriter. My dad's a director. So it's like, at heart, I'm a below-the-line girl.
Kristen StewartI'm asked all the time in interviews about who I am, and I know a few people my age who have a strong sense of self, but I couldn't say I know myself and sum it up and give it to you in a little package. I don't know myself at all yet.
Kristen StewartI'm approaching the idea of taking on a responsibility as great as saying, "I'm good enough to be in your movie." It's a huge statement to make, and every time I do it, I think, "Is this the right choice?"
Kristen StewartI think there were moments on Snow White where I wished there was a little bit more of a sick humor toward Ravenna. But maybe the tone of the movie couldn't really support that. So you always have to kind of figure out where you are and adapt to it.
Kristen StewartAnd I like to keep whatever is mine remaining that way. It's a funny little game to play and it's a slippery slope. I always say to myself I'm never going to give anything away because there's never any point or benefit for me.
Kristen StewartBoth my parents work in film. They're crew. I love movies, and I just wanted to be involved. I got really lucky. I auditioned for a while and then started making films.
Kristen StewartIt's funny when you can actually relate to the fans on a human level and it happens all the time. People assume that's impossible. So when that happens it's a cool thing.
Kristen StewartWhen actresses play actresses, or actors play actors, they have to find another level.
Kristen StewartI think there are a lot of actors who act because they have an impulse to do it and they can't ignore it.
Kristen StewartIt's hard to actually take details from your personal life and apply them a scene because, as much as you can identify with a feeling, you just get muddled. As soon as you start bringing your own stuff in, it's like, 'No, that's not right.' You're playing a different person. You can relate, but you have to leave that stuff at the door.
Kristen StewartI learn a lot with actors that I don't think are good. Every experience shapes you. I've had experiences with actresses - and I say actresses because there's just a woman thing - that have achieved what she's achieved, by means that I can't understand.
