Kristen Stewart covers the new issue of AnOther Magazine, a magazine I really don’t understand. Is this supposed to be high-fashion? Celebrity? Avant-garde art project? All of the above? Here’s what I do know: the photos aren’t that great and it’s not a sign of “avant-garde” art to put a blurry, out-of-focus photo on the cover. It’s a sign that you’re trying too hard! I also don’t understand the way the interview was written, much less conducted. The only quotes they gave from Kristen were these:
She’s all about the dance: “I know when I meet someone if we’re gonna jive and dance. And I do not want to construct anything with anyone. I wanna f–kin’ dance.”
Don’t sell your life as a comic book: “People who are interested in selling a life as if it’s a comic book story? It’s just money, money, money, money. It’s just bullsh-t distraction, and a lot of people make a lot of money on that, because we wanna get distracted.”
Again with the dancing: “I wish I could dance like nobody was watching. I danced the other night and it felt so f–kin’ good. And it’s so not like me. I envy people like that so much. I’m pretty physical, but I really need to let myself go. Honestly, I just wish I could f–kin’ dance more. That’s all.”
She’s perfected the art of screwing up: “I f–k up a lot. But it never stops. The work never stops. ‘One more time with feeling. Do it again, do it again. Oh, you think you f–ked up? You don’t think that was good enough? Sweet, do it again, do it again, do it again.’”
Selling a life as if it’s a comic book story? As opposed to selling your life like it’s a Teen Beat romance novel like she did for years with Robert Pattinson? Don’t get me wrong, I understand that she wants to burn that image to the ground and I understand why. But sh-t, Kristen, other starlets have to make a living too! I guess she’s the only one allowed to sell her life/love/romantic liaison for profit just as long as she insults the people who buy into that narrative, right? As for “I f—k up a lot,” yeah, girl, we know. We saw the Mini Coopering photos.

I don’t get the comic book metaphor.
I don’t either.
I don’t think she does, either. I think it’s part of her “I’m such a tough b*tch” persona, which IS a comic book creation. Nobody is forcing her to be a movie star. if she REALLY didn’t like the celebrity she’d be doing something else. She eats up the attention like vitamins and then whines about it.
Probably because she considers herself the only real and authentic rebel starlet with an epic and iconic private life and everyone else’s life is a comic book in comparison. And she would be desecrated if anyone thought that she didn’t understand vocabulary and language usage beyond a 3rd grade level.
Yikes, over reaction much? What a weird level of hatred over someone so vanilla as K-stew.
@Jess, not hatred. Just amusement that she always seems to take herself so seriously all the time.
@ctgirl. +1, nailed it. Lmao
Probably needs some context the magazine hasn’t given. Like the ‘if you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be?’ Question
Me either. I guess her bizarre analogy has to do with a life presented as a serial. Stay tuned tomorrow and all that. Soap opera-esque but she didn’t want to use the metaphor everyone else does (eye roll).
This girl, I swear. Every interview it seems she’s backhanding someone or something in the industry that she feels she is better than.
Inevitably she judges someone and the way they go about living their life and career in some form or fashion. She cannot help herself.
Her effing up comments? Again alluding to Rob Pattinson and the mini Cooper incident without discussing it. Talk about a comic book. (By the way, I just saw inferences that supposedly Sanders went downtown on her in that car…cldnt believe it until I saw the pics…Eeeeeew, she’s soooo gross)
After being a supporter when she was on the receiving end of a tsunami of hate, I’ve come to the conclusion that she’s just an unpleasant person. Rather than maturing (she’s what? 25 or 26 now?) she seems to be even more angsty, abrasive and sullen. She’s regressing. Overall, pretty harmless. But also, annoying as sh*
..and what is she promoting? Haven’t her movies flopped, the ones that came out several months ago? Don’t get why I’m seeing her of late.
She’s the face of Chanel makeup. So that, I guess, but mostly trying to stay relevant until her next shoot and miss at credibility.
Comic books have fans who are eagerly awaiting every new edition.
Tabloids also have their readers…
I love the cover. She looks great on it.
I understand she wants to move away from Twillight as much as possible, but shitting all over others isn’t the way.
Every time someone talks about dancing I remeber a comedian who said: “She danced like no one was watching. But people were watching and she looked like a twat.”
“She danced like no one was watching. But people were watching and she looked like a twat.”
Lmao. Now I’ll never dance in public again.
I’ve never really been one for dancing in public. When ever I’ve tried my body tightens up because of my self consciousness, which is a shame because when I dance at home I’ve got the moves. I’ve got the groves.
LOL
Ha! I never dance anyway and this quote has given me sufficient reason to not have a go at it in the future. Ever.
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
I always KNEW that “dance like no one’s watching” had a follow-up……..
She reminds me of Kanye: insufferable.
Understatement.
Kanye is at least entertaining.
Insufferable….that’s a good word to describe her. Chick needs to lighten up and be grateful for her career. Sometimes things come through luck as opposed to talent. So I guess that would make her lucky.
She’s another who has profited from nepotism.
Where has she stated that she’s not thankful for her career? Just because she doesn’t like the over-exposed celeb culture involved with being an actor, that makes her insufferable?
And who cares if she’s not a walking ray of sunshine all the time. Are women just supposed to be bubbly and happy 24/7 just to seem more likeable in the public eye? Reminds me an awful lot of men going around and telling women “just smile honey”. It’s horribly condescending and annoying.
There’s a very big difference between being “bubbly and happy” and the relentlessly moody disaffection Stewart idles at.
Nah. She’s not as batshit crazy as Kanye. At least she thinks about what she says. Whereas Kanye’s stream of consciousness just pours out of his mouth unfiltered.
If she’s thinking before she opens her mouth then she might want to go back to school, or get help for her compulsive need to insult/alienate her potential audience.
Also let’s put this ‘not a ray of sunshine, you hate her because she’s not a people pleaser’ pseudo-narrative.
She’s critical of others while doing the same thing, and as a rule, people don’t like condescending poseurs who lucked out on nepotism preaching to them from a pulpit carefully crafted cooler-than-you unlikeableness that her stans like to call authenticity.
tbf to kristen, she never sold anything. in fact, she seemed very much against it, even when the whole rpatz pr thing was pushed on her, you could tell she couldn’t stand it. she also was very very young back then.
i don’t get the dislike for kristen btw, what she says makes a lot of sense. i’m also not very fond of celebs who need to sell their lives on social media, on the red carpet, and give endless tmi interviews. gossip is a lot of fun and guessing is half the fun, when you know to much about a celeb it gets tiring, also because it’s so obvious they’re trying to cash in on their image and why should i be interested in that?
This is true. I left Camp “Leave Kristen Alone” a few weeks ago (when she said stupid stupid things) but in this I agree with you. She did resist packaging her relationship for entertainment.
what did she say?
It was so inarticulate its hard to even say. Anyway on gender inequality in Hollywood she said that the people who complain are just idle and not driven like her. And the solution to the salary disparities is to make more movies (no idea how these idle complainers will fund the movies or how that would equalise salaries). Also, these were initially reported as comments on racial inequality and her publicist moved very fast to claim they were only about women. So basically the thing you couldnt say about race is made ok because you are speaking about gender? I think it was a Variety interview.
Naya & ell – I actually posted a link to this downthread before reading your comments.
oh god, i missed that interview it makes me want to slap her. fine, do something that’s great, but how on earth can you say it’s boring?
i still agree with celebs selling their private lives being annoying though.
It galls me that anyone would consider Stewart a feminist in light of those comments. How “let them eat cake” of the multimillionaire actress to pat her industry peers on the head and tell them to just get out there and make more movies, goshdarnit!
In 87 years of American film, AMPAS has awarded a Best Director Oscar to one – ONE – woman. And that’s not because women aren’t making movies.
SMDH
I find it just as tiring when every interview is about how much she is above what every other celebrity is doing. She used to crap on people who shilled products, until she started shilling products. And now I guess her thing is to crap on people who are selling their relationships. She needs some talking points that don’t involve criticizing everyone else in the industry and discussing how much of an wounded artist she is.
Yeah but what else has she got to talk about? Her impeccable body of award-winning work? Her craft? Her producing/directing/writing? Her political activism? Her million dollar company? Her next album? Her charity work?
She hasn’t got much more than: I’m not like those Hollywood fakers (just a different kind of faker) watch me overcompensate by pointing out how I keep all my relationships on the qt and retain the ‘awkwardness’ of someone ten years my junior.
Okay. I’m sure someone thinks that’s a hiring requirement.
Well if the rumors are true that she and Rob’s relationship was one long publicity stunt for the Twilight Series she did sell and package her relationship.
And didn’t she publicly apologize to Rob for cheating on him?
I agree. IMO, I don’t think she tried to sell the RPatz thing. They were very rarely affectionate in public and very guarded.
Yes she did and does. Pictures on her back balcony with Rob aren’t a coincidence. Bringing personal photos on talk shows, yep. Wearing products for your friends or having your friends sell products or items to fans. YES. That counts. Repping brands isn’t for passion or love – its a paid gig. And honestly everyone does it so to pretend your life hasn’t at one point or another been a walking billboard is a lie. Her mom used her name to promote her projects as well. And her gf uses IG to let everyone know whats going on in her life. You don’t need to recoup a check to sell your life. Chanel, Bal and all the brands worn to attract sales is part of her work. Attaching her name for money or promotion. Unfortunately its commonplace, but don’t deny K isn’t a participant because she is and has been.
Why the indignation over her statement? I don’t remember Kristen actively calling the paps everywhere she went or forming ‘girl squads’ like swift and parading around her and Rob’s relationship for attention. She always seemed uncomfortable in the limelight from the get-go so I don’t really see the hypocrisy.
Girl, she and RPattz and that Twilight studio were non stop leaking “private “photos of the immortal lovers and calling the paps. In every interview she was “hinting” and their uber private relationship even while she was having an affair with that director. She was non stop bashing other actresses for appearing on magazine covers, dressing up for premieres and award shows or for doing advertisment and she’s been doing it too. She is a prime example of a hypocrite.
“dressing up for premieres and award shows or for doing advertisment and she’s been doing it too. ”
So literally what every single actor has to do since they are contractually obliged to do so? Yeah, not buying that argument. You don’t have any evidence that she personally leaked anything to the paps either so not buying that argument as well.
The affair is completely unrelated to this issue but since you want to shoehorn it in…how does that relate to her message of not purposefully going out of your way to sell your personal life to the public as an actresses? I didn’t know she planned to have her affair leaked to the press.
Yea, though I think the girl’s a king sized putz for sure – I don’t believe for a minute her relationship with Pattinson was leaked studio hype or PR. Not that the studio didn’t grow to not mind it all, especially at the end. People forget she spent the first Twilight movie promoting around the world with another boyfriend, not Rpatz.
If it was PR, it was done very very badly.
Don’t know why people still have a hard time believing these two attractive young people boned, and fell in love or vice versa, but they did. It may have been one sided, in retrospect (or maybe not) but it happened. They were incredibly private and only the rabid shippers caught on at first.
IMO, though Pattinson would have been happy to shout it from the rooftops, she always seemed mortified that she was doing the cliche thing, by having a relationship with her uber desired leading vampire. Something she swore would never happen, on camera, while promoting Twilight with her first boyfriend Michael Angarano (sp?).
Though I agree she’s a judgey hypocrite. When it comes to that relationship, she stayed true to her word, she never talked about Rob, she treated him like sh* most of the time, and for most of the 3 or 4 films she almost broke her neck to not publicize it. It annoyed all the shippers, because they knew Rob really loved her, while she seemed to treat him like crap. Now of course we know why. But back then, she just came off as a prized douche. To the non-twihard objective observer, for a long time it was very easy to miss their relationship precisely because they gave away almost nothing.
That’s why the ‘Robsessed’ fans always went around saying they weren’t together.
When she cheated in such a public way with her married w/kids director, they had to change their broken record and admit they were wrong because it was just too enticing for them to be able to hate Stewart for being a home wrecker who broke Robs’s heart.
Bottom line, she was in a real relationship with Pattinson, treated him like dogsh* and humiliated him – in what probably was a subconscious need to blow up the whole twilight romantic bs, explore her bisexuality/lesbian side, and get the precious flop-laden indie career she claimed she always wanted and now has.
I interpreted her comment as a criticism of the tabloids for making up stories about celebs, as if they were fictional characters. I didn’t think she was criticizing other celebrities.
Common sense 🙂 If everyone was using it, there would be nothing to judge.
Talk about throwing stones!
Kristen can change or have an opinion without mentioning the affair.
I think she looks great and I think she’s matured a lot. She rarely gets papped and she works hard. I’ve not heard one complaint about her from industry types. I don’t get the ongoing hate for her. But then again, everyone is entitled their own opinions.
She has a tendency to say awful things ( although this isn’t quote isn’t so bad). She is also just grating and overrated as an actress. I don’t hate her but I tend to get annoyed by her interviews.
I think she’s just not great with print interviews. The way she communicates is very hyperbolic and negative, but she seems a lot more intelligent and easy-going in taped interviews.
You know, I might have agreed with you in the past when she was younger… but I actually think her taped stuff as of late is awful and more awkward than ever.
Exhibit 1 – the rolling of the eyes at the start is just…WTF?
http://variety.com/video/kristen-stewart-diveristy-hollywood-oscars/
I love this photoshoot, especially the cover and the photo in Chanel dress. She’s very beautiful.
Her comment about the celebrity culture is very apt even if it’s not new.
I love the quote about continuing to work and get better no matter how many times you got it wrong first.
I’m not a native English speaker and Kristen often sounds odd to me. It’s not so bad here, but what does she mean with, she doesn’t want to “construct” anything with anyone? She doesn’t want to build relationships with people? Wha?
She’s just trying way too hard to sound smart. It’s not your fault she has a way of speaking that makes reading her interviews like torture.
@Luca – if it’s so torturous then you should probably stop reading them, but i’m just gonna say that if Kristen compared something as trivial as an interview to ‘torture’ you all would be dragging her so much. That’s all she has to do to get people to jump on her comments and make them into huge deals. If you had somebody dissecting your comments with the sole intention of criticizing you then it would easily be found.
And again, if you find her so difficult to understand then maybe the issue is with you?
@kai
@kai
Yes I agree with @luca76. She’s trying to be articulate, and as usual, is failing spectacularly. I think she is trying to convey that she doesn’t really want to approach relationships like most people, I.e. dating, getting to know each other and building (constructing) a relationship.
She’s free spirited Kstew, she wants you to know..she’s saying if she meets you, she’ll know straight off ‘if we’re gonna jive and dance’ (get it on, schtupp, be bffs) She’s not interested in ‘building’ a relationship, or going from 0 to 35 to 60mph.. she wants to be at 60 from jump (sooooo edgy)…she wants to be in the moment and ‘fckn dance’ (eye rolling to infinity) – yes that’s a clumsy ham handed euphemism if I ever read one.
Sure there are people that sell their lives for publicity, and it’s way, way too much. She’s gone the other way to such an extreme that it’s kind of painful to watch.
how is she gone the other way though? she does her thing, and she’s fairly low key. i wouldn’t say she’s super cagey, in fact she’s rather honest and direct.
She kind of reminds me of a pretentious version of Jen Aniston. She avoids talking about her personal life so much that she ends up making inane and Idiotic quotes in interviews.
I also find her very honest.
It’s not common. The way to go in interviews nowadays is you have to seem humble and gracious and save the criticism for your friends only. It’s definitely the easier way, just not what I am looking for.
She’s like an evil hippie. All the cursing and badass attitude. She doesn’t seem like a happy person to me, but it might be the vibe she’s trying to send out. She’s young, things will change in the Twilight years of her life…..lol….
You know what honestly? I just want to see something positive from her.
I get it. She’s a dark and weary soul and she often puts her foot in her mouth while trying to get her point across, but as someone who’s tried to give her the benefit of the doubt and remain indifferent I’m tired of this angsty teenage box she’s crammed herself in.
I want to hear what makes her happy, not what she doesn’t like, not throwing shade, not subtly trying to complain.
You’re an adult now Kristen and no one can make you happy but you. You clearly still want a career in acting but have no clue how to show off your personality in a way that actually makes people want to support you. Pull an Angelina and find a cause that invigorates you enough that all the other bullshit can’t even frustrate you anymore. Bring something new to interviews that’s actually interesting.
Actually this interview is full of things she likes and that make her happy. The impression I got after reading it was she’s very passionate about her job, poetry and painting. I find her passion very inspiring. Many of her costars agree.
I’m sure her once and future costars were beyond inspired by the interview Stewart gave where she said if she doesn’t “like” who she’s working with, then it’s “sad, bad acting.”
Are we to take that as a built-in excuse for when critics don’t like her performance in something? That she would have “sucked” less if she “vibed” with her costars more?
What a thoroughly obnoxious thing to say.
Grownups work with people they don’t like all the time. She’s 25 and has been acting since she was a small child. She should know that by now.
LMAO @P is clearly an Rpattz fan. They took against that bad actor comment because in pretty much every other movie towards Twilight she gets rave reviews yet with Rpattz as a co-star…….
It must be hard seeing her career go from strength to strength and see her win awards, Rob is getting a lot of chances and working with decent directors but his movies just seem to tank/not go anywhere. At least his engagement to Twigs is keeping him in the limelight somewhat. He needs to jumpstart his career pretty quick though. He’s 30 soon and the likes of Eddie Redmayne, Andrew Garfield, Tom Hardy, Ryan Gosling are his rivals …
Another episode of judgy McJudy says judgement things about other people’s choices in life. With fans defending her by using her youth. It’s an embarrassment to the youths of this world who actually learned how to speak a complete sentence by age 5 and right from young by age 12.
Ah, I guess people who have social anxiety and can’t speak well in public are an embarrassment to society. Good to know.
& I love the irony of you calling her “judgy McJudy” while you’re making fun of the way she speaks.
Stewart has nothing but contempt for “Twilight” fans, and she’s made that abundantly clear.
@jess–are you Stews therapist? Does she have a clinical diagnosis of social anxiety or an anxiety disorder? This woman has been openly seen trying to buy the bad sh!t–and I don’t mean pot. Individuals with high anxiety usually tend to avoid the type of stimulant she was looking for in Texas. She’s an actor, ffs. It’s hard to buy that she has any kind of significant social anxiety that truly interferes with her life.
I don’t hate KStew, that’s a strong word. But I just can’t with her after the ignorant statements she made about mental health treatment a couple months back (I think it was at TIFF, but I could be wrong). She seems to have plenty of negative opinions re: psych meds for a person who is known to self medicate with booze, coke, and weed.
“Why lessen the feeling of anything?” Stewart said of antidepressants, like the flippant idiot she’s so good at being. People don’t take antidepressants to “numb” themselves. That’s not even remotely how they work, and to ignorantly insist that people are just numbing themselves to the true beauty of some idealized version of life in all its suffering is ignorant and dangerous.
Is she completely incapable of opening her mouth without insulting someone? Hey, maybe they have a medication for THAT.
And also: Does someone pay her for every single time she manages to work some version of the word “fuck” into an interview?
@P
Yeah she’s so contemptuous when she’s stopping for fans and signing/doing selfies/defending Twilight.
@Carey “She’s an actor, ffs. It’s hard to buy that she has any kind of significant social anxiety that truly interferes with her life.”
Are you her therapist or an expert on anxiety problems? What an ignorant remark to make. So actors apparently can’t suffer from any sort of anxiety issue because you’re the authority on who can suffer from mental illness right? She’s stated herself that she suffers from anxiety and if you hear her speak in interviews, it’s fairly obvious that she has anxiety issues and problems with public speaking. What I don’t like is posters (like the one I responded to) calling people “embarrassments to society” if they have difficulty speaking.
And the over prescription of psych meds are a HUGE problem in America so I’m not really seeing your point? Are you implying that the mental health system in the US doesn’t have that issue?
And I LOVE how you completely made up the coke use fact. It was Robert Pattinson who was caught snorting coke, not Kristen but nice try.
@Jess, you really are a true believer in the Kristen. At every turn you defend the object of your affection.
@CTgirl
wow, such an original and thoughtful reply CTgirl. Now, do you have anything of substance to contribute to the convo other than a failed attempt at at being oh-so “witty” and sassy?
But I guess making fun of someone for speaking at a “3rd grade level” is a much better use of your time.
Edit: and honey, you’re really the last person to be talking here since you MOSTLY post comments on K-stew related stories. I was wondering where I’ve seen you handle before and a quick google search shows that you mostly comment on stories about Kristen and almost always negative. LOL wow, stay pressed honey, that’s pretty embarassing to be honest.
But judging from your horribly ignorant comments on bi-sexaul people, I can see why you have this weird hate-boner for K-Stew.
@Jess, I comment on celebrity stories that catch my eye and let’s face it, KStew is like a bottomless pit of possible comments. I never said anything ignorant about bi-sexual people. The only recollection that I have of commenting on a story that involved a bi-sexual person was the one involving Gavin Rossdale and my comment wasn’t about his bi-sexuality it was about the unexpected revelations that kept coming out during his relationship with Gwen Stefani and how they impacted her by her own admission in interviews. Especially the one about him having a daughter. Nothing more, noting less and there was not any judgement about his sexuality. At least get the context correct. And if you don’t want to be considered a true believer then you might want to consider not commenting so many times when people make comments you don’t like about the Kristen.
@Louise lol I think fans like you are pathetic. Do you have to bring someone down to make her look good? Rob is doing great in his career he have said in interviews that he is happy with the career path he has chosen in .He loves doing independent movies. Right now he is filming the movie Good Time in NYC in a studio. Then he has 2 more this year. He will get his awards I believe in him. He does get praised from critics. If you don’t follow his career then you shouldn’t talk about it if you don’t follow him. In my opinion both are doing great in there career. They are doing there own thing. You sound bitter like seriously there’s no reason to bring someone down. It seems you always bring Rob in your comments. He has nothing to do in this article at all. Why bring him in the conversation? I get the feeling you must of been an ex Robsten fan or just a bitter Kristen fan who is upset he moved on. Tired of seen fandom wars and putting everything as a competition. As the way I see it both are doing great in there career. They both have follow the path they want.
So seriously just stop bringing Robert and trash him. Be a great fan and just be happy for Kristen.
She made think about the kardashians with that idea of selling you’d life like a comic book.
Perfect example. She and Rob never asked to have that life. She was 17 when she did Twilight and nobody knew how huge it would get. So people saying she ‘asked for it’ are talking thru their asses as usual
This is how I interpreted what she was saying, as a reference to PMK and the Krazy Klan.
“Selling a life as if it’s a comic book story? As opposed to selling your life like it’s a Teen Beat romance novel like she did for years with Robert Pattinson?”
but this is the thing, she never actually sold her private life to anyone, that’s why people are still guessing when they got together in the first place everytime a gossip mag tries to comment on her romantic life. the only vague statement she ever made about her private life was that press release about the mini cooper thing as damage control possibly controlled (i love me some conspiracy theory) by summit entertainment cause they still had one final twilight film to sell.
but she never hangs out in place where celebs know paparazzi stake or anything like that, because we barely see her and the only pics we’re getting is at events or on set (the last i saw her was from the woody allen film set and sundance, and even there she wasnt papped), so i don’t get how you can say she sold her romantic life. she wasn’t the one selling it.
Stewart willingly participated in the marketing of a fake relationship to sell movie tickets and merchandise, and became a very wealthy woman as a result. Just because she’s ashamed by it now doesn’t make her role in that studio farce disappear.
LMAO only crazy people think Robsten was ‘faked’… Twilight was already huge when she and Rob got together, they spent birthdays, New Years, went to family weddings together . WHY WOULD THEY NEED TO FAKE ANYTHING?
And Kristen is the last person to be ashamed by Twilight. You are clearly clueless when it comes to her and just criticize aimlessly. Go and read her interview when Patti Smith interviewed her and tell me she’s ashamed of Twilight. She even got involved with the Twilight stories w/Stephenie Meyers last year. Rob on the other hand has done nothing but insult Twilight yet he’s given a pass for it.
I did not realize this board was populated with rabid 14-year-olds who draw on themselves with sharpies. Duly noted. O_o
So are we to assume every time she graces us with her presence in a magazine or an interview, she does it for free?
Its not some deep unknowable truth that the entertainment industry commodifies people. You’re a paycheck until you’re not anymore – especially for “stars” with teen appeal. If she hates it that much maybe she should find something else to do with her life. Seriously.
God, she’s insufferable.
You don’t get paid for magazine covers, its considered a privilege to be asked so there is no fee. You don’t even get to keep the clothes. So yeah….. you can assume!
Of course celebrities get paid for doing magazine covers, in merchandise, publicity and photographic royalties.
How else would Angelina Jolie fall all over herself to announce that she would donate the proceeds from every cover over the years to charity?*
*(Psssst – because they pay her.)
She is not eloquent but I like what she says. She thinks for herself and she sounds real.
I liked the part about failing and then doing it again and again and again until you succeed.
This is how you become successful. This is reality. I don’t like when successful people , especially women, pretend like success simply happened to them. And they act so surprised by it. Don’t do the humble act, own it.
I’ve never liked Kristen Stewart, always seems like she’s either moaning or judging everyone else. How about you do you, Kristen? And if you’re happy who cares what anyone else does? Similarly, why not recognise that other people live their lives differently and you don’t have to like them or their choices, but just let them do them.
Eh, I have a habit of being harder on celebrities who have zero talent.
Conversely, I can be a bit of an apologist when it comes to actors whom I perceive to be talented.
So yeah….I’ve softened on KStew since she started doing cool projects. She was hit-or-miss for me for while (never watched that Twilight crap) but she seems to be making a lot of good career moves and her acting really does seem to be improving.
She’s inarticulate and awkward for sure but I can’t get on the Hate Train.
I wish she would go back blonde for a change. I don’t usually say that, because I like darker hair and her hair dark. But she was blonde when she was a kid, like a tween.
Here she is with blonde hair in late teens. She used to give much better interviews before she decided to be so awkward and tortured.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qf_9vVWtSzQ
Yeah she was blonde in the first movie I saw her in with Adam Brody. I forget the name now… I remember thinking “who is this young actress?” because she was very natural in that role.
I’m all in favor of her going back to blonde.
I do remember this… she was very well spoken and thoughtful of others then. I have no idea what happened but she’s regressed majorly. This is still one of her best interviews and promos.
@Danni, I don’t get why she gets in these print interviews about herself and tries to come off tortured and too cool for anybody and uses the F word every other word it feels like, trying to be so tough. I’m not offended by her using the word, but roll my eyes at how much she uses it in a short interview. I feel it’s so contrived a lot of it and immature, like you said regressing, and I don’t get it.
She was in an indie flick I was thinking about renting. So I looked up an interview to see if I would be interested. This is 2014, about Camp X-Ray, where she is in the military and befriends a detainee at Guantanamo Bay . She is very engaged in this interview with Tavis Smiley. So she’s still capable of being interesting in interviews, not a self-involved boor.

So I am a bartender and the daughter of a ships captain. I can curl wallpaper with my mouth and have been able to do so since I was five. Having said that it is time for her to grow out of the f-bomb in every paragraph in every interview. Its jarring. It takes away the power of a very useful word and looks terrible when its repeated over and over in print.
“Curl wallpaper…” LOVE IT.
It IS jarring, and what bugs me about it most is that she comes across as so contrived. If the moody aloofness is truly her authentic self, she wouldn’t have to try so hard all the time.
WTF? It’s like some old Hwood gangster movie? Like that scene in Home Alone where the kid plays the movie clip to scare away the robbers. “I can tell if we are gonna jive?? I wanna f-ckin dance?? Oh god. Was she listening The Stray Cats right before this interview? I do not want to see jump jive and wail. Just away.
Her attempts to sound smart always accomplish the opposite. In addition to some acting classes, homegirl needs to invest in some english lessons. I say this as someone who speaks english as a second language! I wish I were a white girl so I could get away with being a talentless charisma vacuum and still get rewarded for it :-(. I can’t wait for her and her sister in white mediocrity (taylor swift) to no longer be a thing!
OK, so now she is showing interest in dancing.
I remember an interview for On The Road where she said she would rather get nude than dance.
Hmm… I wonder from where she got this sudden idea to dance…
Hmm… FKA Twigs. Ha!
Wrong, Smartass. Kristen has talked about dancing for years, long before Twilight. In fact, she even went for ballroom/swing dancing classes in her mid teens and talked about it in an interview.
Also, Kristen isn’t interested in Rpattz. She has been with Alicia (if they are still together) long before Rob even met Twigs, so your theory doesn’t make any sense;
I think its pretty honest of her to say how much she loves dancing knowing people like you will immediately say it’s because her ex of 3 years ago is currently with a dancer. zzzz
Kristen sounds high or wasted here. And girl, you did sell it. To Chanel, to Bal, to gossip mags for years. You don’t just work for free or for art – you are still paid to do a lot of false advertisement. And her biggest flaw is she’s inarticulate. When discussing a topic, she’s not learned at 25 you can get your point across without being judgmental. Whether ageism, gender, bipolar medication, celeb status… You can make you viewpoint without it being a negative at others. And i say this as someone who wants to see her move past this.
She is not a fave of mine but I did see Snow White and that Clouds of Sils Maria and I have to admit I enjoyed them. Her acting wasn’t bad either, imo. I was actually surprised because I usually advoid watching anything with her in it.
Why do people on this site act like she is speaking another language and that you all are too articulate and high brow to understand a word she says? Talk about looking for things to twist.
And people did turn her and Rpattz relationship into entertainment .. even BS Star stories are taken seriously on this site when most of you know know there isn’t a grain of truth in it. So you can act like Kristen hasn’t a clue what she’s talking about… meanwhile she’s hanging out with Patti Smith and Joan Jett!!
People don’t understand because they are not reading the interviews, just some parts of it often presented without the context or completely twisted, like the case with Variety.
She’s been complicit with the machine though. So it’s s the hypocrisy some people might be responding to, more than her inarticulateness (which is a flaw she does have, but in this instance, it’s her failure to understand the she participated just as much in selling a story that probably has people side-eyeing her). She has achieved a certain level of success now where she probably doesn’t have to sell her life as a comic book story anymore, but she had to do the same stuff that everyone else who is up-and-coming has had to sell out to. So it’s dumb now to judge others for doing that. Plus, last I checked, she didn’t seem to have a problem turning down any of those paycheques. She was all about the money too (which is fine — I don’t begrudge her that. She was being practical with her career. If I got that kind of money, I’d most likely be all about the money too. But acting like making money isn’t as important to you as everyone else in your industry seems disingenuous.)
Now people who like her can disagree with me. That’s fine. You’re more than welcome and free to do that.
I don’t have any problem with different opinions. I think it’s possible to have opposite opinions and still stay civil, without belittling and namecallig.
The problem here is that her quote is completely out of context. She was asked about tabloids, how they creating stories/ lies. What she said is not so different from what many here say every time there is a new ridiculous story from any given tabloid.
I went to the original link, and it’s hard to know if she’s strictly talking about tabloids. The quote doesn’t appear in the original link to be contextualized at all. Who knows what the original question is because the magazine hasn’t given the original question she’s responding to (from what I can tell — I checked if there were page numbers to click on to see if there was more to the story, and those weren’t there either). I’m not sure if there’s more to this article that will come out in the print edition, but in the actual link provided the only thing we have to go on is just the quote itself — so if people are saying the quote was taken out of context, it’s not really clear to me how it’s possible to tell that it was if the quote is just hanging in the air like that in front of a white background.
There is a digital version of the magazine with the full interview.
Interviewer: The balance tips when it comes to trash TV and tabloid exposure bullshit.
The quote is her answer to this.
Since the quotes in the linked source were without a context, it’s completely up to a reader to think what they may be about. It’s very interesting to see how people judge.
It’s a really good interview for people who are interested in acting process.
She’s so much the indie, art for art’s sake type.
The parts about dancing probably would have sounded fun and even made sense if they came from Drew Barrymore. Somehow Stewart manages to make even dancing sound like a chore.
