Interview Excerpt from 'In Their Own Words'
“Don’t protect me, I’m fine”
Sian Edwards / The Interview People
Looking casually stylish in a pair of black skinny jeans, black heels and a white shirt, Kristen Stewart, 22, is in a friendly mood and seems excited about this next chapter of her life. She talks about the end of Twilight, the transformation Bella goes through from human to vampire, how the franchise has changed her life, and the downside of fame. A fan of Fifty Shades of Grey, her role inspired the book and she says she’s not too prudish to accept the role, should it be offered to her.
Can you talk about the transformation from human to vampire?
One thing that I liked about Bella’s human version is that she gives as much as she wants to and doesn’t feel pushed. To me, she’s always been really honest, even if she’s technically lying to people, she’s emotionally very honest. Because of that, she’s sometimes unsteady, and sometimes I allowed her to be kind of just teenager- ish. It’s like, you are this very developed, mature version of what we all know her to be, but at the same time, you are this very young, new animal, quite a baby, and you are figuring out how to like use the tools that you have been given. It’s like a 12-year- old getting into a six-speed sports car and being like, "Whoa, so that was fun."
How about just the physicality? Any challenges to that? She’s so strong.
Yeah, that’s the thing. You want to get as close as you can to those experiences. I want to feel that strong, but obviously, you can’t always. Sometimes you have to fake certain things. I really appreciated it when we weren’t on treadmills. I liked being able to actually run on ground and get movement, actual space behind me, and there were different ways that we accomplished looking strong and fast and all that stuff, and my favorite bits were always the ones that we could actually do.
You look very different. You’re wearing a great jacket and the running and the new attitude. Did you have any input on that too?
Yeah, absolutely. One answer to that is that Alice dresses her after she becomes a vampire, because she’s so busy afterwards and she’s so focused on other things, one having the self-control to not rip everyone’s throat out and even though that comes very easy to her, and the fact that she’s got this child, all these things, they dress her. So, for a second, I was like, "Do we hold onto the idea that Bella doesn’t think about it, and so she just kind of looks plain (laughs) and puts on whatever is handed to her and it’s a natural, easy thing, or did she choose these things?" Now her clothes are pretty straightforward, and she will wear a random pair of high-heeled boots, so it’s like, "Whoa, Bella, what are you doing? This is weird."
You have all become huge stars since the first movie. Did you notice any change, like the way people treat you on set?
On the Twilight sets, towards the end, I found that people didn’t really talk to us anymore, which was weird. It was like they possibly were even told, "Hey, leave them alone. If you don’t have a reason to talk to them, don’t just go up to them." And I hate that. Don’t protect me, I’m fine, it’s like, now you are just completely isolating me, so thanks. And then it makes them seem like you are the one possibly who said that to people, which is like, do not represent me, ever. That is the most horrifying idea that that happens unbeknownst to me, but I am sure it does. Just really annoying.
Is it important for you to stay grounded and normal and effectual?
No, I just want to sit by myself all day. (Laughs) Yeah, God of course.
Are you looking ahead to new projects after Twilight and do you feel like these movies are going to cast a long shadow in some ways because you will always be referenced, or is that something that you aren’t thinking about at this point?
I mean, people will always talk about the fact that I got really super-duper famous on Twilight. If people who really love the books have a hard time seeing me in other parts, it’s kind of the ultimate compliment to really understand that. I can’t think of an example, but I’m sure that there are people who have experienced that and it hasn’t seemed to put a damper on anything that has to do with my personal experiences. I am so challenged, I’ve gotten myself into a position where I get to pick and choose my challenges, which is close to unparalleled. It’s very lucky and unique, it doesn’t happen as an actor and if I didn’t have that, then I would be pissed. If I didn’t have that, then I really would be worried. I think that I’m really proud of it and hopefully people keep talking about it, you know?
Have you read Fifty Shades of Grey?
I’ve read large excerpts.
Did you know it was based on your character? And if there were a movie, would you be in it?
Uh, (laughs) first of all, they haven’t called me or anything, they haven’t offered me the part.
Maybe you are being protected? Maybe someone didn’t take the call. (Laughs)
No, probably not, I mean if they probably told me about that, it would be funny.
But it’s pretty spicy.
It’s spicy. Yeah. I don’t know, I haven’t read the whole thing and it’s also a highly coveted part everyone is trying to. I don’t know, it’s... I don’t even...
But do you think you would be brave enough to do something like that?
I haven’t read it, and so I mean, I know what you are talking about, I’ve definitely read some of those bits, (laughs) and it’s really nuts, I couldn’t believe it. I see people reading it and I’m like, "Dude you are in public, what are you doing?" (Laughs) But I’m pretty daring. It just takes the right story, and so I don’t know because I haven’t read it. I’m not avoiding it or anything. I just think it’s been made this big deal, so I don’t even know how to answer it.
And what kind of character would you like to do after this movie?
I don’t know. Right now I’m about to do a movie called Callie that I’m really excited about. And it’s hard for me to project into the future like that, because I don’t know ever what it is going to feel like. You can tap into qualities that you don’t know you have, and always the first step of that process is reading something and being surprised by it, or being moved by something and going, "Wow. I didn’t know that part of myself."
Now that Twilight is over, can you reflect back on what was the scene that most touched you or was the hardest to shoot?
There are so many of those moments throughout the entire shoot. She lives a whole little life and in five years, or four years, whatever it is, and God I think probably there have been a lot of challenges. I don’t know, ‘cause all the ultimate life milestones happen and I think maybe in New Moon I was definitely not excited about having to play ultimate death.
What was the most awkward scene you had where you felt like you were completely off?
I think that if I should go back and do that moment again, I could do it better.
Did you take any mementos from the Twilight set? Have you stolen anything? Thumbtacks?
No, I didn’t take those. I took all of her rings and stuff, I have all the bracelets, the wedding ring. I think I have a fake one, actually. I don’t think I have the real one. And I love how I don’t even know that. It’s probably sitting in some baggie somewhere, like a real big diamond.
What are you going to miss the most now that it’s definitely over?
Sometimes there’s just like a feeling. Every set has its own feeling. It’s very consistent, there’s a mood on every set, and we recently did reshoots and as soon as we were back there, it was like, "Oh, fun. Wow, I can’t believe we are doing this again." And it’s crazy how it just assumes the exact same tone, and I will definitely miss that. That’s what people attach themselves to. I think it’s just day in and day out, and you find certain relationships and comforts and creative charges and highs and lows and then just like boredom with certain people, and then at the end you’ve made something and you are like, "Oh good job," and you can pat each other on the back. I always will have that. Even the other day at Comic Con when we saw everyone, it was like, "Here we are again." Instantly right back into that same mood, and I like that mood, it’s a good one.
And what do you miss doing the most doing that you can no longer do because of your insane fame? What would you like to do if you could?
Well, there’s nowhere in the world that I’m not like [that] at some point. Even if I feel like I’m the most remote, even if I feel like I’m literally at the bottom of the ocean, I’m always going to be recognized. I swear, behind that shell, there’s going to be a lens popping out or something, and so I think to maybe just feel like I literally could actually do anything without someone seeing.

Rob Mentions Kristen:
Q: Is it cool to see Kristen play and look different as a vampire? She’s sexy and not clumsy anymore?
For some reason, I listened to Taylor at Comic Con talking about the clumsy thing, and I thought, ‘Was she clumsy?’ (laughs). And everyone always talked about the clumsiness. But yeah, I never understood it. It’s always the aspect of female characters and young female characters that’s supposed to be unattractive about them when they are clearly not unattractive? (laughs) It’s like, she’s really clumsy, and I’ve never met a genuinely clumsy person or noticed someone who is like handicapped by being so clumsy, (laughs) like it’s so weird.

Pics and Interview from Madame Figaro Magazine
Between the actress star and the fashion designer, it was an obvious fact. They both cultivate a complicity based on agreements of head, heart and bottom... It is not amazing that the art director of Balenciaga chose the beautiful to embody the image of Floridablanca, the new flavor of the brand. Artists' confidences.
We meet Kristen Stewart before the "scandal" which fed the international press celebrity all summer long. A private affair - an adultery revealed by paparazzis: the young woman would have had an affair with the director Rupert Sanders, a husband and the head of a family - was transformed in the United States into affairs of state. The "culprit" had to present public excuses to her fiancé, the idol Robert Pattinson, "humbled" according to her million fans. Tarnished, moral blazon at the lowest and Hollywood which sulks at her, curious lapel of the fate for K-Stew, subjected to the merciless trial by the mob while she had managed of the tour de force to lock hermetically her intimate sphere. It is to say the ridiculous Puritanism which reigns in the United States, where, in 2012, the whim of a 22-year-old kid can be again set up as deadly sin and lead to an excommunication deserving of the scarlet letter. The earth will continue nontheless to turn. Hollywood will pass in the other thing and beauty queen Stewart will probably get back into the good graces before long. Because everything smiles to this bright actress, to the happy mortuary and to the underlined charisma: last June, she took the head of the Forbes ranking of the ten American the best paid actresses (27 million euro approximately for the past year). There is something of terribly animal at this beautiful girl with the green eyes and with the deep voice, to whom the world belongs. Her look did not escape Nicolas Ghesquière, very sharp art director of Balenciaga, who has a sound to spot the atypical or the rebels (Charlotte Gainsbourg, Jennifer Connelly) and chose Stewart as muse of his new woman perfume, Florabotanica, a given name which makes reference to the botanical gardens of the XVIIIth century in which the rarest and the most exotic botanical species lived. Where from the concept of a heady garden, alternately enchanted or poisonous, in which princess Kristen would get lost. Interview in two voices.
Madame Figaro. - Do you remember your first meeting?
Kristen Stewart. - I remember it as if it was yesterday: it was on a photoshot for a magazine, with Bruce Weber, I was quite young, I had to be 14 or 15 years old. I was kind of used to photography sessions, but that does not mean I was in my element. It was the first time I crossed the path of Nicolas and when I identified clearly the brand, Balenciaga. I had the intuition that we would see again each other. At that time, I knew nothing about fashion: at least, people are capable of quoting Chanel; me, no, absolutely nothing. I was intimidated enough, I was neither a model nor a known actress, and I was there, in the center of the fashion world. We could feel on set a so contagious energy that I was seized, an energy comparable to the one who makes me like the cinema. Today that I know better this world, I assure you that we can easily make the difference between those who create because they are carried by an internal necessity, and the others, the followers. Nicolas is a member of the first category, he is extraordinarily invested. It is an obvious fact: there is only to see as his face gets clearer when he looks at a garment. A light emanates from him.
Nicolas Ghesquière. - The ideal, it is when clothes are embodied. When Kristen wears one of my creations, I clearly see that she takes it up and that then everything makes sense. When I saw her the first time, I knew immediately that she and I would share something. It was indistinct, but I was sure of that. I urged to see her again and I began to send her signals: can we dress her? Would she agree to see the current collection? It was the beginning of our dialogue.
You seem to be free spirits, each in your respective domains...
Kristen Stewart. - it is necessary to accept yourself. If we really want to come true, you should not be ashamed of who you are, you have to face your choices. To say : when i did this, i was l'île That, i am different nowadays. It's useless to look into the mirror, you have to keep going forward. We criticize my work. It's my decision to make something positive and to progress out of it. I always trusted myself, that does not mean that I fall asleep on my laurels or that I do not make a mistake. Everything evolves and the life takes care to make you move.
Nicolas Ghesquière. - Otherwise, we are stuck and we atrophy.
Kristen Stewart. - I hate what stagnates. It is necessary to create, to go towards the novelty. Even when we do not like each other.
Nicolas, how do we make the resistance in such an environment ? Does it require Will, some stamina?
Nicolas Ghesquière. - We are carried by a desire, but we ignore where this power of the desire comes from. Later, we work hard to make the difference, and the expectation towards yourself is big. The freedom of speech exists at the price of this permanent questioning.
Kristen Stewart. - Absolutely, it is ceaselessly necessary to question yourself but not to be afraid either of letting it go.
Nicolas Ghesquière. - In the fashion, everything is disproportionate: we love or we hate, but there is a half-measure, never of warmth...
Do you have a dangerous job for your nerves?
Nicolas Ghesquière. - There is obviously way more dangerous jobs, but the risk lies in the very permeable border between what we are and what we make.
Kristen Stewart. - Similar to the cinema. It is not so normal, these jobs which cannibalize our lives. For my part, it never stops. As soon as we tell me a story, I think: would it make a good movie? Everything becomes confused and the life leads me ceaselessly to movies. To be an actress, it is to try to understand. It is also what I try to make every day. Then, when a journalist asks me: "does it ache? Does that matter?", I answer: "Yes, but it is so good!"
Is it easy to stay yourself, subjected to such a high pressure?
Kristen Stewart. - Yes, if we dash challenges to preserve a line of conduct.
Nicolas Ghesquière. - Kristen and I began early, and when we begin early, we harden faster: we have to fight more to convince and make our point of view heard.
Kristen, are you from now on trendy creature?
Kristen Stewart. - I have never had problems with what I wore, even when it was approximate and when we noticed it. What I observed since then, on the other hand, it is that a garment, even if it does not change you, can make you understand things on yourself or make you discover new territories. A garment, it is as a movie: a door opened on a horizon. This is why the fashion is fascinating and this is why I appreciate it.
Nicolas Ghesquière. - There is a side effortless at Kristen: she wears a dress effortlessly. And she goes quite naturally towards strong pieces...
Kristen Stewart. - As I am rather casual, people think that the fashion does not interest me.... Nevertheless I go exactly towards the opposite of the casual!
Nicolas Ghesquière. - She embodies ideally a modern sophistication. It was blatant in the last Cannes film festival, during the presentation of on the Road, Walter Salles's movie.
Nicolas, would you say of Kristen that she is your muse?
Nicolas Ghesquière. - Much better than a muse! When she wears one of my clothes, she confirms it and I am fulfilled. Between us, there is a relation and I want to continue this conversation.
Kristen Stewart. - With Nicolas, I can participate, and it is what pleases me: be active.
Kristen, the magazine Forbes awards you the first place in its ranking of the actresses the richest in the year, and thus the most powerful...
Nicolas Ghesquière. - It is promising! (He laughs.) Strong choices, legitimacy, energy, sensibility I take!
Kristen Stewart. - The power? It means some more of responsibilities and movement because nothing in the life has to remain immovable. I hope to be reflected and to responsible. I do not live a frivolous life, but I do not either see myself making as many actors, charity galas only because it is popular! I do not want to scatter, I want to be sincere and to be invested in all that I make... As for the Forbes ranking: nonsense! (She laughs.)
Kristen Stewart by Nicolas Ghesquière
"She is brave, really brave. She made artistic strong choices, which translate a radicality. She embodies the creative freedom. And I do not speak either about her charisma or about her beauty. It is a source of inspiration. "
Nicolas Ghesquière by Kristen Stewart
"It emanates from him such a quiet strength, such an invincibility and such an authenticity. I want to follow him blindly! "
