I have brothers, and that so-called boyish quality was something that I was deathly self-conscious about when I was younger. – Kristen Stewart
Success is always something completely different to people. I feel like I’ve succeeded, if I’m doing something that makes me happy and I’m not lying to anybody. I’m not doing that now, so I feel really good about myself. – Kristen Stewart
It’s a funny thing: You want so badly for people to see what you do – you’re proud of it – and I like the effect that movies have on people. But the attention can also make me uncomfortable. – Kristen Stewart
I like being in movies that have a great story. I’m not so interested in being a Hollywood star. It’s a job, you know. When you wake up at six in the morning every day for a week, it feels like hard work. – Kristen Stewart
I really, specifically, love acting, and I think it’s a really cool thing to be really indulgent and follow that. I have a lot of ambitions in life, but for the next few years, I just want to be an actor. That’s a lucky opportunity, and that drives me to want to be good at that. – Kristen Stewart
There are things that directors know about me that people shouldn’t know. But everyone’s really different. I’ve worked with women who I’ve never wanted to tell anything about myself to, and I’ve worked with guys who have been pouring wells of emotion. So emotional availability is not a gender-specific thing. – Kristen Stewart
Really, I’m incredibly disjointed and not candid. Just in general, my thoughts tend to come out in little spurts that don’t necessarily connect. If you hang around long enough, you can find the linear path. But it will take a second. That is why these interviews never go well for me. – Kristen Stewart
There are certain things in ‘Twilight’… As much as I’m proud of that movie and I do like it, I feel like maybe I brought too much of myself to the character. I feel like I really know Bella now. But most readers feel like they know Bella because it’s a first-person narrative. – Kristen Stewart
I just want the fans of the book to be happy. I don’t necessarily care about anyone else. – Kristen Stewart
Masses of girls identified with Bella in a really profound way, for want of a better word. The connection that I’ve seen people have – I’ve seen it physically. It’s the characters they’re flipping for. – Kristen Stewart
Despite what people think, I was such a rule follower at school. I loved the whole slacker look, like, ‘Hey, I don’t care, whatever,’ but if I didn’t turn my homework in, I would panic. – Kristen Stewart
A lot of actors think that what we do is so important, like we’re saving people’s lives or something. – Kristen Stewart
I had to act in a school play when I was about ten years old. I really didn’t want to do it. But everyone had to do it so I didn’t have a choice. A talent agent came and watched it and later gave me some work. It’s funny because I’d always known that I wanted a movie career. I just didn’t think that I would be in the movies. – Kristen Stewart
I go outside, and I’m wearing a funky T-shirt and my hair is dirty, and people say, ‘What’s wrong with her? She needs to invest in a hairbrush.’ – Kristen Stewart
There’s no way to eloquently put this. I just can’t go to the mall. It bothers me that I can’t be outside very often. And also to not ever be just ‘some girl’ again. Just being some chick at some place, that’s gone. – Kristen Stewart
Hopefully my fan base doesn’t lock me into ‘Twilight,’ you lose yourself. You should do things for you, and I have been really lucky to have things that really rock me and really move me falling into my lap. – Kristen Stewart
I just really am trying, trying, all the time. But I like to be scared. I love to suddenly feel out of control. – Kristen Stewart
