Kristen’s interview with LA Daily News

“It’s really important for me to make movies that make me feel like `The Yellow Handkerchief’ made me feel,” says Stewart, sounding self-assured and far less daunted by her exploding popularity than a lot of media speculation would have us think. “And `Twilight’ did the same. I mean, it turned out to be this huge thing, but that’s not something that you knew going in was going to happen.

“People should know where that came from. I’ve grown up feeling very entitled, like I can do whatever I want. But she didn’t have that.”

Q: As the world is your oyster now, what attracts you to a role?

KS: I mean, as much as you can say I’d like to do this because it’s different from what I’ve done before, I can’t really plan things out like that because despite whether or not a character sort of fits my description and the script is good, what actually drives me to do something like this, which is a really bizarre thing if you think about it: to play a part in a film and for more reason than just “Oh, I get to be in a movie.” It’s like no, I want to live out this life. It’s like, why? So it has to speak to me in some way and that’s always hard to describe, so I don’t know what I want to do. This is the first time I haven’t had one of my next jobs lined up so I have a totally clean horizon. That’s actually pretty exciting.

Q: Is that a great place to be?  What kind of offers are you getting?

KS: I mean, it’s not like I’m getting – - it’s not like everyone’s like, “Oooh.” To be honest, it’s such a weird thing to talk about in this capacity. I’ve been getting – - you always sort of don’t look at scripts that are very clearly just framework and they just want to put a dollar sign in the picture frame. It’s so obvious. I only want to do work that I find to be moving and that’s something that I can’t be specific about. So I’m totally lucky and I can’t believe that I am. I’m not saying that I can do anything but I definitely have more opportunity than I’ve ever had so it’s awesome.

Co-star William Hurt discusses Kristen

So what do you make of this three-ring circus that surrounds Kristen Stewart wherever she goes?
I’ve defended her in public as regularly as I can. I think it’s absurd, that they’re not giving her a break. I think that she’s holding her own, that she’s courageous, that she’s inventive, and that she’s got character oozing out of her, and I say, “Give her a break. Who is she to pander to your idea of what she’s supposed to be?” She has every right in the world to express herself exactly as she chooses to, and she’s got a lot of surprises up her sleeve. Why won’t they give that woman a break?

If you were starting out right now and you were her age, do you think you’d be able to withstand all this pressure?
I couldn’t take it. No. My route was categorically different from hers. I have to study something for fifteen years before I take a risk, and then I take a very calculated and big risk, but I really have to work hard before I jump. I do jump, but I look at where it can make the most impact. [Kristen’s] route may be different, but the ends might be the same.

You know, we were discussing preparation for a role earlier—
She was one of the ones who prepared the most! Kristen and I worked together great, and so did me and Eddie. We had two weeks of wonderful rehearsal on this project, and that’s why it’s a good film. [A publicist enters the room] Excuse us. [“One more question,” says the publicist. Hurt raises his voice.] Come on! Give us a break. We’re just getting started.
