INTERVIEW WITH FOCUS ONLINE (GERMANY)Focus: Miss Stewart, with „Breaking Dawn Part 2“ the vampire saga which made you rich and famous, comes to an end. Are you relieved or sad that itΆs over?
KS: Both. After the huge success of the first film we felt a lot of pressure, the series developed into a global phenomenon. We were part of a brand that had to be maintained. That's over now, and I'm not sad about it. The saga was a dominant part of my life during the past five years. So much happened during that time - and I've definitely become more mature.
FOCUS: First of all you became an international teen idol practically overnight. How did you cope with so much attention as a 17-year-old?
Stewart: The hype caught us all completely by surprise. The fans went literally crazy, suddenly we needed bodyguards. That was crazy. Jennifer Lawrence, the lead actress in The Hunger Games, whoΆs going through a similar situation right now, had asked me for advice on how to handle it. I told her: "Enjoy it and at the same time remember your own values."
FOCUS: Has the hype burdened you in a psychological way?
Stewart: Of course, nobody is really prepared for it. We travelled around the world to promote the movies. Wherever we showed up, huge crowds that screamed their heads off were expecting us. It is flattering, but at the same time itΆs also scary. Sometimes it was just too much for me.
FOCUS: You became a product and therefore got marketed?
Stewart: The film was the product. Well, probably we somehow were one as well. We followed the plan and the guidelines.
FOCUS: YouΆve been often described as "wooden", "arrogant" and on some internet forums really insulted. Have you been aware of that?
Stewart: At the beginning I often logged in the forums of the fans, in preparation for the role of Bella. It soon turned out as a mistake. I've read all sorts of things about me and quickly decided to let it be. I can understand, however, when some of the media describe me as "wooden". I was terribly anxious before the first rounds of interviews and was extremely nervous. Fortunately, itΆs gotten all better in the meantime.
FOCUS: What has helped you in getting there?
Stewart: I learnt a lot from Rob (Robert Pattinson, editor). For him it was a lot easier to deal with the fans and the media, right from the beginning. Rob was, in general, an important supporter during the "Twilight" years.
FOCUS: Talent shows are booming, many people dream of becoming famous. Do you understand that?
Stewart: There are probably several motives why people apply to those casting shows. Some of them have real talent; they just want to show it and maybe make a profession of it, if they get a chance. The others live in a dream world. IΆve never wanted to become an actress to be famous. Those who live out those fantasies will probably fail horribly. Fame appears many people worth striving for. They would probably change their minds if they would get to see what it feels like having to give up the private life to a great extent.
FOCUS: You are keeping your private life under wraps - which is not always successful.
Stewart: I already have so much of me to give away, that it just makes me consider my private life, what I do at home, or who I'm dating, just sacred. We must not surrender completely in this business, thatΆs what I learnt quite fast. Also due to the "Twilight" hype.
FOCUS: Is it difficult after all thatΆs happened in the last few months to do a joint promo tour with Robert Pattinson?
Stewart: No, we're okay.
FOCUS: Is it easier to play a couple in a movie when youΆre also in a relationship off-screen?
Stewart: In the end we both just focused on the roles which couldnΆt be further away from reality. I mean, Rob played a vampire. He was wearing red contact lenses and was painted pale. So you do not think: Oh, that's Rob there. On set I always saw him as Edward, the vampire.
FOCUS: Can you understand the enormous fascination for vampires?
Stewart: Sort of. It's just a kind of a fantasy world. Young girl falls in love with a vampire who can fly with her through the woods. A guy like a superhero. I can understand that especially young people like to immerse themselves in such ideas. Perviously the women dreamed of being picked up by a prince on a white horse, nowadays there are just vampires. But in the end it all comes down to the longing for romance.
FOCUS: "Harry Potter," "Twilight", "The Hunger Games" – does the desire for fantasy worlds get bigger the more problematic the real world is?
Stewart: ThatΆs what has defined cinema for about 100 years. If reality gets more complex, fantasy films gives a welcoming variety to the everyday life. WeΆve often been asked why the saga is extremely successful. We have attracted people in a world where the impossible becomes possible. Bella gives birth to a child of a vampire while being still human, and eventually turns into a Vampire with superior forces. On a bad day I would probably like to seek refuge in such a fantasy world, too. Sounds tempting, right?
FOCUS: Do you read fantasy novels yourself?
Stewart: I rather prefer the classics. Authors such as Albert Camus and John Steinbeck inspire me.
FOCUS: You once wanted to study literature?
Stewart: ThatΆs what I could absolutely imagine doing in the future. I left school after the eighth grade, was then taught mainly by private tutors and graduated from high school via the Internet. The idea of going to school again is appealing. But currently I rather use the opportunities that I get in the movie business. I want to be a better character actress. This is something I realised about my abilities as an actress in "Twilight". I still have plenty of room to improve.

http://kstewartfans.livejournal.com)INTERVIEW WITH L' EXPRESS MAGAZINE
Translation:Kristen Stewart - "I have a fiery personality."
The heroine of Twilight, the romantic series of a whole generation has become, at 22, the highest paid actress in the world. She's also the face of the "Florabotanica" fragrance by Balenciaga.
One morning, in the suit of a Parisian Palace, Kristen Stewart, green eyes, slender figure, is anxious to start. "No dictaphone!" she ordered in a strong voice, in all her 5 ft 4 glory. "Take notes! Use your memory! Invent things!" The interview isn't starting really well. But she burts out laughing. She was joking. The heroine of the romantic series, Twilight, for which the latest chapter just came out in theaters, has been playing Bella Swan for five years, this young teenager in love with a 104yo vampire, who brought her success. (...) Today, Kristen is still going strong with her head held high. Here's what she had to say...
TALK TO US ABOUT BELLA SWAN.
In this new movie, she's not the young & shy romantic teenager that we've seen anymore but a vampire, dreadful warrior with eyes red like blood... She now runs at the speed of a cheetah & wins at arm wrestling with monsters three times her size... To prepare for this role, I had to follow an exhausting physical training. It's also the first time that I played a mother: My daughter is also a vampire that talks & walks when she's 1 month old and is 3 ft tall.
WHAT DID YOU FEEL WHEN YOU WERE FILMING THAT LAST TWILIGHT? MELANCHOLIA OR RELIEF?
I had a lot of fun: There were 100 vampires on set, it felt like Halloween. The ground was covered with red contact lenses that we were losing constantly. At the time of the first Twilight, I was barely 17: None of us were expecting something like this. We grew up together with each movies, we were there for each other and it helped a lot. These five years helped me grow on a personal level.
THE SUCCESS OF TWILIGHT ALSO OPENED A LOT OF DOORS FOR YOU IN THE WORLD OF CINEMA.
Absolutely. I have access to more important roles: Marylou in On The Road by Walter Salles... The novel by Kerouac has always been important to me. I love Marylou, she is funny, intelligent, uninhibited. I fought for years so this movie could get made. And before we started filming, I had my own road trip with a few friends..
DO YOU RECOGNIZE YOURSELF IN HER?
Yes and no. I'm neither a leader nor am I someone who like to set trends, and unfortunately, I'm not someone who has this impulse which forces other artists to create so they don't get devoured by their inner demons. But I have a fiery personality, an absolutist side, sometimes strict. I impose some rules on myself: I choose strong characters I can indentifiy with, hypersensitive, tortured. I need to be honest with myself.
WHAT IS YOUR DEFINITION OF HONESTY?
It's hard to explain. Listen to my heart & my guts. Do something I deeply believe in even though I make mistakes. But how do you second guess something in which you believed in so much? Knowing who I am is what matters the most to me, and it's the work of a lifetime. It's also necessary to have roots: values, instilled by your eduction.
HOW WERE YOU AS A CHILD?
I was wild, very shy. At school, people were calling me "the wall". I had ADHD. I quit school at 13 & stayed at home. I loved cooking. If I hadn't been an actress, I would have probably been a chef. But I've always had the world of cinema in my blood. I was almost born on a set. I loved following my parents around [Father: a stage manager and television producer / Mother: a script supervisor] on sets. I started acting when I was 9.
WHICH STAGES WERE THE MOST FORMATIVE?
Panic Room by David Fincher. I played the diabetic daughter of a divorced mother (Jodie Foster). I was 10... Looking back, I realize that I got really lucky, even if I wasn't really good enough for the part. Jodie encouraged me. She is an example for me. I always think of her when I'm shooting a movie, of her integrity. Another important movie for me was "Speak", in which I played a traumatized teenager who gets raped. For the first time, I felt like I wasn't really acting but I was pouring out my emotions. And then, there was this encounter with Sean Penn & Into The Wild. Sean gave me the push to be a part of the independant cinema that I've always loved.
DO YOU HAVE OTHER ROLE MODELS?
Yes. Charlize Theron with which I filmed "Snow White & The Huntsman". I admire her choices, her way of transforming herself in every movie, her kindness - It's someone I can confide in. She's not a diva at all. She thinks of herself as an element of a movie. Other than that, someone I'd love to be like is... Brigitte Bardot. I couldn't have thought about someone more different than me!
RECENTLY, PATTI SMITH SAID: "KRISTEN IS VERY CHARISMATIC. I WOULD LOVE HER TO PLAY MY ROLE IN THE MOVIE ADAPTATION OF MY BOOK 'JUST KIDS".
Patti Smith is a strong woman, real, deeply moving. Her words really move me. It's true that I have a passion for music. I've been playing guitar since I was little, I have a collection of Fender Telecaster & Gibson. My father used to be a hippy and he taught me how to replicate the chords of Neil Young & Bob Dylan songs. I write songs that are similar to small scripts & that I only share with friends - All musicians. But you can hear some of them in Into The Wild & in The Runaways. I'd love to record a rock album.
HOW DID YOU FORGE YOUR STYLE THAT IS SO PERSONAL?
I am simple California girl who mostly wears jeans & hoodies. But I also love high fashion designers, particularly Balenciaga, the textures & cuts look like art. I accepted to be the face of Florabotanica, because of its androgynous & mysterious chemistry, and the bottle is almost a work of art on its own. This fragrance has an edge to it. If I was a fragrance, that's what I would like to smell like.
