StarPulse got the chance to sit down with Kristen for a Q&A session about her co-stars and New Moon. Read it below.
At first it seemed like being the leading lady of a number one franchise would be too much for Kristen Stewart to handle. On her first round of press for Twilight, she appeared intensely nervous. She was photographed smoking a bong and later incurred the wrath of Twihards with some poor choice of words.
Two movies and a year of press later, Stewart seems a much mellower, well adjusted lady. Maybe it’s her Joan Jett hair that projects a more carefree attitude, but her body language is definitely more comfortable, and she speaks with decisive confidence. At least she did in her press conference for the second film’s release.
New Moon is the second film in the Twilight saga. This is the one where Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) breaks up with Bella Swan (Stewart) for her own good. Out of her inconsolable depression comes a relationship with Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner). This sets up the Team Edward/Team Jacob conflict for the rest of the series.
A year ago when we talked to you seemed to be a shy, sensitive young actor. How has this past year been for you in terms of this nonstop thing on New Moon?
Kristen Stewart: I think I’ve gotten a lot more comfortable with talking about myself and knowing that what you say people are really going to take into consideration. That always intimidated me so much that I minced every word that came out of my mouth. I couldn’t finish a sentence because I was so concerned about how it was going to sound. I didn’t want to come across insincere about something that I really love to do. So I realized that instead of refraining from saying, “I’ve put my heart and soul into this thing and I love it.” That’s what I should’ve said instead of, like the really logical, over analytical reason why I love it. You just do. I’ve gotten more comfortable with it.
