  • Kristen Stewart on Mistakes, Losing Robert Pattinson

    Kristen Stewart spoke recently during an interview with Marie Claire about her past mistakes, including that of losing Robert Pattinson by cheating on him with her Snow White and the Huntsman director, Rupert Sanders. She knows she’s made these mistakes and she hopes they take her to a better place in the future.

    The Twilight starlet, who is soon to star in a film based in a film based on Guantanamo Bay called Camp X-Ray, says she’s still trying to figure out a lot of things–one of them being relationships.

    “Some people have certain things, like, ‘That’s what I’m going for,’ and I have a subjective version of that. I don’t pressure myself … If you fall in love with someone, you want to own them – but really, why would you want that? You want them to be what you love,” she said. “I’m much too young to even have an answer for that question.”

    Of course Kristen Stewart’s mistakes have all been played out in public–on TV, in publications and all over the internet. That certainly has added some insult to injury for the 23-year-old.

    “I stand by every mistake I’ve ever made,” she said. “So judge away.”

    Stewart also talked about how she’s often the subject of public scrutiny when it comes to how she handles the public. Often deemed awkward, withdrawn or shy–she admits to it all.

    “People are like, ‘She just can’t handle’ – for lack of a better word – ‘the spotlight.’ No, actually, I can’t, and this is totally who I am,” she admitted. “I don’t try to force it or turn it into something else or fabricate this personality… so I totally agree when people say I’m, like, the most awkward person.”

    What a lot of people seem to forget, too, is that Kristen Stewart is only 23 years old. She is barely a woman. And yes, she has been in the public eye since the inception of Twilight–where she met Robert Pattinson. That life isn’t a real one as compared to the lives lived by most of those passing judgment. Perhaps now that she has admitted to her foibles the public will cut her a bit of slack as she works to figure out what she wants in a relationship, how to deal with the “people” side of being famous and more importantly–exactly who she is.

  • Kristen Stewart Fears Filming ‘Equals’

    Kristen Stewart has never appeared to be the kind of person who lets anything shake her, however the anticipated filming of a new movie called Equals is doing just that. The Twilight actress who dates her Twilight costar Robert Pattinson, admits she is terrified of playing this new role.

    “I can’t believe I agreed to do it,” she said during a recent interview.

    Stewart explained during the interview that Equals is a more modern day version of George Orwell’s classic film 1984. Filming is set to start later in 2014.

    “I’m terrified of it,” Kristen adds. “Though it’s a movie with a really basic concept, it’s overtly ambitious.”

    This sounds kind of strange coming from a young woman who thought nothing of becoming a vampire, fighting the Volturi, marrying a vampire and giving birth to his child. After playing Bella Swan opposite Robert Pattinson’s Edward Cullen, one might expect everything else would seem simple–or at the very least, refreshing–for Kristen Stewart.

    “In ‘Equals,’ things go wrong because you can’t deny the humanity in everyone,” said Stewart. “It’s the most devastating story.”

    The film also stars Jennifer Lawrence’s boyfriend Nicholas Hoult, and is directed by Drake Doremus. It’s the first film Doremus will direct that he hasn’t written. He certainly has an intriguing cast of characters to work with. Hopefully he is mindful of Kristen Stewart’s history with directors. It was her Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders she had an affair with, resulting in the end of his marriage and her split from Robert Pattinson.

    Kristen Stewart has no doubt learned her lesson from that experience, however. And now she’ll learn to portray someone other than Bella Swan. She actually heads to the Sundance Film Festival in Utah shortly, where she stars in a film called Camp X-Ray.

    Do you think Kristen Stewart was typecast as Bella Swan in Twilight? Hopefully her roles in both Equals and Camp X-Ray will break her mold and set her off on a new career path–once she gets over her present fears.
