Kristen Stewart has a lengthy interview with Salon this week to support Still Alice. You can read the full piece here. To her credit, she spends much of the interview praising costar (and presumptive Best Actress Oscar winner!) Julianne Moore. She also talks about the technical aspects of making the film and how she signed on and all of that, none of which is very interesting. But she also talks about her career, how she’s a “lucky bastard” (seriously) and how no one in the world gives as many f—ks as our beloved K-Stew. Some highlights:

How she felt watching Still Alice: “I’ve seen it twice now. The first time I saw it I was so blown away. I was present for a lot of what she [Julianne Moore] did that was impressive in the movie, but for the things that I was not there for she so destroyed me. I thought nobody else in the movie existed. I’m super technical, I will sit and watch one of my films with a little list of checks and balances and this finally took that away. Usually the first time is never a proper experience, it’s always getting over hangups and weird memories, and this time it was just absolutely undeniable. What she does needed to be done. It’s so important.

After Twilight, getting the indie career she always wanted: “I’ve never tactfully maneuvered through anything I felt passionately about— my job being really, really high on that list. I haven’t planned, I haven’t thought about my trajectory or how to design my career in a way that I can get what I want. Luckily I’ve gotten what I wanted naturally — I’m such a lucky bastard— but I had no idea “Twilight” was going to be a big deal, it blew up. It’s always hard to compare projects and I think each moment we live obviously makes us the person we are right now, so each project has a bit of a through-line because it is me at different stages of my life but they don’t have anything to do with one another in terms of design.

Using the film to educated about Alzheimer’s: “You can f–k around on a movie set, do this and that, make fun of things. It’s like, this isn’t real, we’re not curing cancer. In this case, actually, we’re taking one massive step towards helping people overcome something that’s denied. Lisa Genova’s constantly talking about how we need to rip Alzheimer’s out of the closet and show that this is not an old-timer’s disease. It’s a very real thing and there’s a lot of shame in it. There’s so much isolation, so much loneliness, so much denial, and so much shame, and it shouldn’t be that way. We’re running marathons for cancer— why aren’t we doing that for Alzheimer’s?

Being told that people admire her ‘no f—ks given’ attitude: “I’m like, actually, no one gives a f–k like me. No one gives more of a f–k than me. It’s just ironic to me. I’m always like, really?

Supporting a project she loves: “Yes. I find myself saying things that I hear other people say where I’m like, ok, you’re lying. But I say the same thing, and I wonder if people think I’m lying when I say, oh, we were just a big family on set! I hate that stuff. People always ask if I chose the projects I’ve chosen because I’m trying to redefine myself or people’s perception of me. Uh, no. In a word, nah.

Is there no one else in the world who gives as many f—ks as Kristen Stewart? Debatable. I have to say… I’m sort of surprised that she would take that position. Even I think that she’s more of “I don’t care what you say about me or my films, whatever” kind of person and that’s one of the qualities I’ve always liked with Kristen. If she’s not really that girl, then who is she? Does she actually care about people calling her a trampire? Does she really care that people think she’s a bad actress with one trick (lip-biting) up her sleeve? SO many questions.
