If she is only interested in her art and being creative and if she cares more about those things, than being mainstream, she’d likely not have taken the Balenciaga gig. She also chose to star in another blockbuster, with SWATH. To me (and I could be wrong) that’s not a person who wants an artsy career.
I believe she was genuinely surprised by the first Twilight’s success, then she just hunkered down and saw the series through to the end. But why choose another blockbuster? SWATH was pitched as a blockbuster before filming started.

I look at Daniel Day Lewis, for instance, he comes out every few years to make a movie, then he goes back to shoe making. He seems to be someone who loathes the spotlight, comes to town to do a job, then goes back to “real life”. He has always seemed that way too, it’s not just about age.

You’re right about only her fan tolerating the surliness, the finger flipping and the swearing. I understand why she is so defensive, and there are times I feel some sympathy for her, but then she either says or does something that’s just so obnoxious or hypocritical (to me) that I go back to square one.
Regarding twitter/online chatter, I take it all with a sense of humour, or I’d be completely nuts. Good news is that it’s a shared responsibility so I don’t have to do it all day, every day.

I don’t disagree with you at all that Kristen cultivates an image. As I said, she is “playing” it differently that most of her contemporaries. I do think however that her artsy/rebel image is rooted in reality (vs. someone like Avril Lavigne back in the day). I think she does believe in her art, and all that. Kind of the way members of young alternative rock band believe when they start out. I hung around a lot of those in my early 20s, and they really are earnestly trying to create vs. the mainstream… but there is an interesting point, where that attitude becomes a badge of honor, thus a persona they constantly manage and try to put that out at all times (aka Kristen). But alas, the “sell-out” moment comes for every alternative band that has success and like that, Kristen’s will come soon. She will have to stop with the surliness, the fingers and such because if she wants to be a serious “adult” actress, few outside of her fans will tolerate that for long. I think we are seeing that already, with the fashion, the slightly improved interviews, etc. At some point she has to get out of her artsy head and stop believing every word, moment is a matter of artistic life and death. I had a boyfriend like that and it becomes intolerable and impossible to maintain.

I agree that it’s nice to have a civil discussion about potentially opposing views.

Erika, your post is ridiculous, she is not ungrateful, your comment is just an example of how much unfair criticism she gets for no damn reason.

You know, you don’t have to follow Kristen so closely or at all for that matter if she bothers you that much. If Kisten provokes a Tourettes-style outburst from you just by looking at a picture of her or reading an interview, you might want to rethink the amount of time and attention you are giving her.

And what’s with super sour face? All the time.
