Kristen's Interview with Weiner Zeitung
In Walter Salles new road movie, "On the Road" (in cinemas Oct. 5th),
the adaption of Kerouac‘s novel, she‘s part of a group of young people
that depart on a journey through sex, drugs and jazz.
Wiener Zeitung: 2008, before the very first Twilight premiere, hardly anyone knew you. Today you‘re fair game for all the tabloids out there. How do you deal with that?
KS: I don‘t like it but I learned from it. When I first went on promo tour for Twilight - with 17 - I didn‘t know yet where to draw the line when it came to my relationship with the press and what was relevant for the interview and what I should rather keep to myself. Today I know exactly what I can and can‘t say.
WZ: Was there ever a time after Twilight where you maybe felt the danger that the whole thing could get out of hand for you and you would end like one of those „Hollywood Girlies“?
KS: I think it‘s unbelievably embarassing if you think of yourself as a big seller. That‘s exactly what those girls do. There‘s this moment where everyone in a bar is suddenly staring at you and you think that maybe you‘re worth being stared at: I refuse to be that person because I don‘t wanna be an object of utility. You also have to know in this job: If you give certain parts of yourself up for the public, you don‘t ever get them back.
WZ: Hollywood requires though that you partake in the circus and to run from one talk show to the other.
KS: I know colleagues that constantly play these formed, well educated people because they‘re great actors. Just look at the talk shows. I always ask myself: How do they do that? How can they be so perfect? But in the end you realize: You‘re nothing. You‘re nobody. Because you‘ve always tried to please so many people, to play a part for them all.
WZ: Let‘s talk about „On the Road“: Did you read the book?
KS: Yes. This book really shaped the way I approach people. I got to know those characters while reading and thought: Oh god, that‘s the kind of people I need in my real life. People that challenge me.
WZ: Director Walter Salles is known for not restricting his actors - in contrast to big studio films like Twilight.
KS: With this movie we completely wanted to lose control over ourselves. That‘s in itself a contradiction to the way movies are shot: Script, set, everything is predetermined. The difference to Twilight was that with that I was obsessed with getting the dialogues right because I loved them. On the Road on the other hand was a project where the audience was supposed to be presented something to discover instead of getting a made, perfect sounding product.
Walter Salles gave us a lot of time to internalize the characters. For that we also had to get to know each other as actors. That‘s what led to the fact that nothing seemed posed when we were shooting. We just let go. And of course we forgot some text here and there but we found them again later on, through ourselves, because we knew these characters and that‘s why we knew when they‘d have to use that lost text.
WZ: That sounds like an enjoyable work. Do you feel the corset of profit-oriented Hollywood in real life?
KS: I feel very free in my decisions. For outsiders it might look as if someone like me had no freedom whatsoever because of all the hype. But that‘s not true. Nowadays I have access to so many possibilities and I have so much ahead of me. I think you shouldn‘t make compromises in life. That‘s something so fundamental but it‘s true. I don‘t deny myself anything in life. And I don‘t allow others to deny me anything.
WZ: Do you feel like through On the Road you will be perceived as an established actress?
KS: I‘m lucky that I‘m being offered so many parts. So I think: Yes, I‘m established. For me it‘s not about the results of my work but more about the experience that I go through. And the security to know today that I can do my job many more times. Or at least that I know I can do it one more time before everyone thinks I suck ass.

Johnny Harris About Kristen
Prior to being in Snow White I never got so much as a second glance from
them but as soon as I was in a film with Kristen Stewart, all of a
sudden I was getting calls. I got married last week and all my cousins
are around the 12-13 mark and you could see how I’ve changed in their
eyes. Now, all of a sudden they’re asking me about my work and asking if
I can get Kristen’s autograph!
Q. You’ve mentioned how helpful Kristen was on the set, even appearing in scenes with you when she wasn’t required?
Yeah, the scene in particular was the funeral scene when I had to sing. And it only got confirmed on the morning that I’d be singing on my own because of the technicality of getting us all to do it. In moments like that, when the camera is focused on you, you tend to find other actors disappear but they remained standing in. It kind of tells you a lot about the feeling in general on the set. So, when I looked around Kristen was there, and Chris [Hemsworth], and Ray and Bob were stood either side of me. I’ll never forget that moment. It was an emotional moment in the film, we were all crying a bit, and when I looked up Kristen was also crying and the camera was not even on her. So, I was tremendously grateful to her for that.

New Kristen Interview with Style.com
On any given day, a front-row Salma Hayek sighting is something to write
home about. But not when Kristen Stewart is seated across the catwalk.
The actress was in Paris this morning, paparazzi be damned, to support
Nicolas Ghesquière’s Spring Balenciaga collection. Stewart, who took in
the show wearing a pale yellow motorcycle jacket and printed jeans,
refers to Ghesquière as a “kindred spirit,” which is likely what
has made the duo’s recent collaboration on Balenciaga’s Florabotanica
fragrance such a compelling story. Inspired by the “surrealist” floral
prints that colored his Fall 2011 collection, Ghesquière had duality on
the brain, specifically the darker side of conventionally pretty blooms
that are readily considered harmless. “Flowers can be carnivorous or
venomous—contain poisons,” he points out, and it is that “mystery” that
he was hoping to explore with the house’s latest eau.
If the elaborate fairy tale woven around the vetiver, amber, carnation, mint, and “experimental rose” flacon is to be believed, the flowers that have been bottled here shot up from torn paper shards containing a reclusive designer’s sketches that were embedded into hostile ground, and were found by a girl who had “the inspiration of a muse.” In the real-life version of the parable, of course, the designer (Ghesquière) met the muse (Stewart) on a shoot after the then 12-year-old starred in David Fincher’s Panic Room. “I had not forgotten her,” Ghesquière has said of Stewart, who boasts a beauty that is “pure and uncontrollable,” in his estimation—or in other words, very Balenciaga. Here, fresh off a press tour for her new movie On the Road and only a month away from the media frenzy that will be the conclusion of the Twilight saga, Stewart met up with Style.com to talk fragrance, front-row intimidation, and why Ghesquière’s Spring lineup may be her most favorite yet.
Up until now, Balenciaga’s only fragrance face has been Charlotte Gainsbourg. What’s it like to be in that kind of company?
I wish I could choose a better word, but I think she’s stunning. I sat next to her at the show [last season]—which was the first experience I had at Balenciaga—and I was so ridiculously intimidated by her! I didn’t even say hi. I was just kind of muted by her. It’s an odd relationship that us actors are allowed to have with fashion. For me it started at an extraordinarily young age. I met Nicolas [Ghesquière] when I was 12 [on] this little project that felt very similar to a photo shoot. A rack of clothes comes in and you can just pick out what’s from that company. [Balenciaga] was the first fashion brand I recognized.
Were you drawn to the clothes then?
I’ve never done anything tactfully. I just wanted to be around Nicolas. It’s like movies. You find kindred spirits. You say, “We need to make something together.” My creative vision is not clothes but…I want to be around that.
Nicolas has said that your “rebellious femininity” is what made you a good fit for Florabotanica. That characteristic seems to have followed you around a lot recently, especially in your work. Do you think it’s a pretty true character assessment?
Especially recently right now—maybe this is my age—you either have the boldness of heart or lack of fear that might differ from other people or you don’t. A true rebel, someone who is genuinely, authentically rebellious, has no idea that they’re doing it. It’s just natural. If you’re aware of it than you’re a contrived, fake person. Having Snow White [and the Huntsman] and On the Road—even Balenciaga—everyone is saying, “You’re taking on these strong roles,” and everyone is asking if I’m trying to convey these strong female roles. And objectively, yes, I am. But there’s also a void there right now and people want to fill it.
You’ve been wearing a lot of Balenciaga since joining the house officially. Have you had any favorite fashion moments with the line?
[Nicolas] made my Cannes dress. And I went to the Met ball with him. And we sat down together and I watched him draw this…thing. I think he would say that I had something to do with it, but that’s bullshit. I just sat there. I do love those graphic sweatshirts [from Fall 2012]. And the sheer long dresses—and the shoes! I love all of the shoes so much. I must say, I’ve seen the new [Spring] collection—and it’ so unbelievably cool. You need to know yourself pretty well to wear it, or it wears you. It makes total sense that it’s happening now, though. I don’t want this to sound arrogant, but it was made for me.
Speaking of red-carpet dressing, how do you go about choosing your looks for what has been a nonstop press junket for you that will continue when the final Twilight installment premieres in November?
A lot of actresses say you can play different parts on the red carpet, but I simply can’t claim that I can become someone I’m not. Tara Swennen is my stylist. I’ve worked with the same person my whole life. I can definitely unlock qualities and something very unexpected comes to the surface—and that’s fun, but you know instantly if [a dress] works or it doesn’t. You don’t even have to zip it up. It’s important to trust that.
Do you find wearing perfume—this perfume, specifically—to be an equally transformative experience?
[Perfume] is something that I’m just now stepping into, wanting to smell attractive. I’m 22. I wasn’t the 15 or 16-year-old girl putting on perfume. It’s such a funny thing that it does, that it suddenly gives you “something.” It puts you on another level. There’s sophistication to it. I feel a little bit…hello! And that feels really good. It’s sex. It’s vibrant. And thank God I liked [Florabotanica] when I smelled it; I’m not a good liar.
You’ve become known in beauty circles for your impossibly pale skin. How have you kept your complexion so perfectly alabaster through five Twilight films?
I am really white. Although for my next project, I’m not positive, but I’m going to be blonde and really tan! I keep clean and moisturized. I have oily skin so I use Proactiv. It’s good stuff as my face is…active. Skinceuticals is really great, too. I just discovered their serums.
On set, how important do you find makeup, hair, and costuming to be in properly getting into character? Have you had any truly transcendent beauty experiences, like when you wore that black, Joan Jett shag in The Runaways?
Oh yeah. If I didn’t have that there would’ve been nothing that would make me feel legitimate [in The Runaways]. I wore stickers on my face, I made my nose wider with contours, I thinned out my eyebrows—I had a really great makeup artist, Robin Matthews. On Snow White, I worked with [costume designer] Colleen Atwood—there’s no one like her. Her clothes brought so much. We did a medieval fantasy film but nothing was fake—there was no Velcro! I need that. It’s the same on the red carpet; if you don’t feel good, you can’t sell it.
Be honest: Are you happy or a little sad to put your Twilight days behind you?
As sad as it always is to leave something, the reason you start that project is so you can finish it. I hold it so close, as I do with all my projects. I could interview about Panic Room right now. I feel the same way with Twilight. I got to live in that world for four years and it was the most indulgent experience I’ve ever had. The amount of relief at being done is unbelievable—and even that is kind of sad.

Kristen Talks to Women's Wear Daily at Paris Fashion Week
Leaden skies over Paris greeted “Twilight” star Kristen Stewart as she arrived at this morning’s Balenciaga show. “Yeah, I guess I’m used to it,” she said with a smile.
The actress, who fronts Balenciaga’s Florabotanica scent, said she’s still hunting for her next film project, but if she had her druthers, it would be a screen adaptation of “Lie Down in Darkness,” a novel by William Styron about a dysfunctional family. “It’s hard to get a movie like that made nowadays,” said the petite star, dressed in a yellow biker jacket and printed black jeans.

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart Interview with Total Film
"They should do it as a straight-up porn film. That would be so good..." chuckels Robert Pattinson, speculating on a potential - but rather less chaste - future reboot of Twilight. While he may be joking about new beginnings, the billion-dollar vampire franchise is at its end with The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 (to give it its full title) and Pattinson is on his final round of press-junket interviews about the monster hit which has catapulted himself and co-stars Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner to Hollywood megastardom.
Wether Twi-hard or Twi-hater, there's no denying the impact of the films adapted from Stephenie Meyer's quartet of novels about clumsy teen Bella, her pretty-boy vampire beau Edward and werewolf loser-in-love, Jacob. Attracting a rabid fanbase, the films also fueled a craze for bloodsucking TV Dramas like True Blood and The Vampire Diaries and a slew of copycat books. Even this year's bestselling erotic novel, Fifty Shades of Grey, began life as Twilight fan fiction...
But the franchise's real lasting legacy might just turn out to be its three young who have made millions from the saga. Pattinson (26), Stewart (22) and Lautner (20) even made Forbes magazine's list of the highest-paid entertainers under the age of 30.
Today Lautner's tipically cheerful and straightfoward, while the self-effacing Pattinson greets Total Film in a hotel room surrounded by bottles of Vitamin Water, after overdosing on coffee. Sporting an anti-Edward backwards baseball cap, he's still stubbornly down-to-earth and remarkably unnafected by Twilight hyperbole as he was when TF first talked with him, four years ago "I was afraid I'd kept talking about myself," he explains putting away an electronic cigarette. "So I put an effort into forcing myself to be interested in other people, even if you're struggling to come to terms with what your life is."

Rob's Interview
What advice would you give to your younger self on the first day of Twilight?
Robert Pattinson: On literally the first take of the first scene, I had to run over and pick up Kristen. And I almost tore my arse-cheek muscle, my glute, because I crouched down wrong. So I’d say: ‘Don’t squat down so low’.
How was the Twilight experience changed you?
RP: I’m probably more insecure. My ego got smaller [laughs]. I thought I was pretty cool after the first one. I finished the movie and for the first time, I had some money. The Twilight trailer had come out and got eight million hits so I had all the best parts of being in a big movie. I had meetings were people were saying, ‘This is the new hot thing, eh?’ Everyone gave a shit about you, but no-one knew who you were outside of that. So I spent eight months getting wasted with everyone thinking I was great. It was really fun. It was different at the start. TMZ and all that stuff was getting prevalent and now, it’s insane. Becoming big now, you became insanely conservative. Terrified about everything. Now I just stay at home.
Did you keep any mementoes from the films?
RP: The first one, I kept pretty much the whole wardrobe because I didn’t have any clothes then. There was an interview I did – with MTV or something – with a superfan. I was supposed to go in and surprise her, and after 10 seconds, she was like, ‘Are you wearing the same outfit as Edward?’ I’d completely forgotten, but they were the same clothes!
Kristen describes you as being ‘ridiculously ambitious’. Is that true?
RP: I think I want to be…The difference between me and Kristen is that she can do a day of work and at the end of the day be like,’I did the absolute best I could. Satisfied.’ Whereas I don’t think I’ve ever had that day in my life. I always go home irritated and want to fix it the next day. I don’t know who has the bigger ego in that case. Whether hers is bigger because she thinks what she did is fine, or whether mine’s bigger because I think I’m so great it’s never going to be good enough.
What has the franchise done for you career in general?
RP: It’s done a lot. But the same time, you have to steer it. You can sink just as quickly as someone who’s never had this. It’s not a free pass. I think about how to carefully plan the route afterwards. You can’t do anything you want. And if I ever stop acting, I want people to remember my stuff as interesting after I got given my break.
Kristen's Full Interview
What advice would you give to your younger self on the first day of filming Twilight?
Kristen Stewart: I would say: 'Stick to your guns on not smiling inTwilight. Angst is much better than bubbles, because it really works and everyone is about to be proved wrong.' All the scenes were so serious. They're dealing with really heavy stuff. [The filmmakers] were like, 'Maybe you can lighten things up? And I'm like, 'No you can't take that away. 'That's what people are addicted to- the rawness. Also, I would say: 'Things wind up OK for you in five years. You're pretty happy so just chill out. Relax, Kristen.'
What are your most memorable moments of the Twilight Franchise?
KS: Filming the wedding was very cathartic. I remember sitting in this elaborate wedding dress, wrapped up in a raincoat in a dingy, dirty garage with the whole cast sitting there trying not to be cold, realizing this is probably going to be the last time everybody was there to hang out. Also, at the beginning, meeting Rob and Taylor. I remember both moments. Big experiences.
How do you think the saga has changed you as an actress?
KS: Acting in the films has opened me up. I was more locked when I was younger. To play Bella in a really honest way is to show she wears her heart on her sleeve. I only have my heart and my awkwardness to show. It was interesting to watch. Some people hate it. But I'm proud of it.
In what ways has Robert changed since the franchise began?
KS: Rob is so ridiculously ambitious. I see the drive and its only starting… especially right now because this is all coming to an end. I guess its not a change, its just something thats come out and developed.
Is it sad or liberating to be finishing Twilight?
KS: Both. Fleetingly sad and maybe then once or twice after. Like when you suddenly smell something that reminds you of being on set. But its not sad in between those moments, because I feel like no stone was left unturned. Everyone things it's hard to say goodbye, but its harder to say goodbye to crews and casts that I've only spent five weeks with. This was four years. Im ready to say goodbye. Im perfectly fine. Once the story has been told, you feel like you've done all you can do. It's pretty easy to walk away. It's not like its going anywhere.
Part of Taylor’s interview – mentions Rob.
How have you changed since the franchise began?
Taylor Lautner: Myself, Rob and Kristen have grown up a lot. But they're the same people they were four years ago. They're not affected by this. I hope they'd say the same about me.

I had meetings were people were saying, ‘This is the new hot thing, eh?’ Everyone gave a shit about you, but no-one knew who you were outside of that. So I spent eight months getting wasted with everyone thinking I was great. It was really fun. It was different at the start. TMZ and all that stuff was getting prevalent and now, it’s insane. Becoming big now, you became insanely conservative. Terrified about everything. Now I just stay at home.
Did you keep any mementoes from the films?
RP: The first one, I kept pretty much the whole wardrobe because I didn’t have any clothes then. There was an interview I did – with MTV or something – with a superfan. I was supposed to go in and surprise her, and after 10 seconds, she was like, ‘Are you wearing the same outfit as Edward?’ I’d completely forgotten, but they were the same clothes!
Kristen describes you as being ‘ridiculously ambitious’. Is that true?
RP: I think I want to be…The difference between me and Kristen is that she can do a day of work and at the end of the day be like,’I did the absolute best I could. Satisfied.’ Whereas I don’t think I’ve ever had that day in my life. I always go home irritated and want to fix it the next day. I don’t know who has the bigger ego in that case. Whether hers is bigger because she thinks what she did is fine, or whether mine’s bigger because I think I’m so great it’s never going to be good enough.
What has the franchise done for you career in general?
RP: It’s done a lot. But the same time, you have to steer it. You can sink just as quickly as someone who’s never had this. It’s not a free pass. I think about how to carefully plan the route afterwards. You can’t do anything you want. And if I ever stop acting, I want people to remember my stuff as interesting after I got given my break.
Kristen’s interview –talks about Rob.
In what ways has Robert changed since the franchise began?
Kristen Stewart: Rob is ridiculously ambitious. I see this drive and it’s only starting…especially right now because this is all coming to an end. I guess it’s not a change, it’s just something that’s come out and developed.

Robert Pattinson: On literally the first take of the first scene, I had to run over and pick up Kristen. And I almost tore my arse-cheek muscle, my glute, because I crouched down wrong. So I’d say: ‘Don’t squat down so low’.
How was the Twilight experience changed you?

Audio Preview of Robert's Interview ''In their own words''
Via
1)Are you afraid that everything else you do will be compared to Edward Cullen?
Robert Pattinson: I’m not sure. I’ve always been of the opinion that if something explodes really quickly, it takes the same amount of time for people to think of something else. I mean, I don’t know. I hope not. Maybe it’ll be a good thing…I have no idea.
2)What’s the one part of your costume that always transforms you into character?
Robert Pattinson: Probably the contact lenses because it makes me miserable as soon as I put them in. That’s what creates sort of the pouting and brooding character. You’re just like, ‘Ugh.’
3) What drives you to succeed?
Robert Pattinson: I guess probably fear of failure and an inadequacy complex, and I just drive rental cars. I drive different things. I don’t have a car.
4) There are so many fan sites not just for you, but for Edward. Do you check any of those fansites out?
Robert Pattinson: It’s kind of incredible the information they get so quickly. Sometimes I’ll check them to see what my schedule is on stuff, like on weekends when I can’t get through to my agency. They know way better, or even to see my emails sometimes!
5) Talk about the past year or so of your life. The sudden celebrity. The paparazzi. How are you dealing with things, and do you find yourself more comfortable with it all now?
Robert Pattinson: I guess it’s inevitable that you become more comfortable. You still fight against some things. There’s nothing really scary about the franchise itself. I like all the people I work with. I generally have very few disagreements about the script or anything while we’re doing it, especially on New Moon. It just seemed so relaxed and easy.
6) What about in a fight between you and Taylor Lautner?
Robert Pattinson: I don’t know. I did hear, the other day, that Taylor had agreed to an interview where the interviewer was going to fight him. And, after looking at Taylor’s martial arts videos from when he was like nine, I wouldn’t really want to do anything. Maybe if I had some kind of weapon.
7)Love plays such a major part of these films, and so many fans want what happens on the screen to happen in your real life. How do you separate falling in love in real life with the women that you’re cast opposite?
You’ve always got to remember that you’re being paid. There’s a lot of connotations that come with that. That’s one of the major separations.

Rob Spotted at Jimmy Kimmel Emmy's Party Last Night at Soho House
LA Times: Jimmy
Kimmel has received tepid reviews for his Emmy Awards hosting gig, but
if you're counting the star support behind him? He was a smash.
Following his gig Sunday at Los Angeles' Nokia Theater, Kimmel shut down West Hollywood's Soho House, inviting winners and friends to join him at the exclusive space.
Robert Pattinson, dressed in his uniform of denim and a baseball cap, showed with a male pal and enjoyed conversation with a small group on the patio.
eOnline: Emmy host Jimmy Kimmel threw a party at Soho House. Guests like Robert Pattinson, Aaron Paul, Ellen DeGeneres, Portia DeRossi, Ashley Judd, Aziz Ansari, Carson Daly, Dominic Monaghan, Glee's Harry Shum Jr. and many more enjoyed eats from Umami Burger along with Don Julio margaritas and Bulleit Bourbon cocktails.
More from eOnline ( Also sightings of Rob at the LA Dance Project) The Twilight star, 26, was first spotted Saturday night attending the premiere of Natalie Portman's choreographer husband Benjamin Millepied's ballet Moving Parts at Walt Disney Concert Hall in downtown Los.Angeles.
The performance was also the debut of Millepied's new L.A. Dance Project company and was followed by a Van Cleef & Arpels dinner.
"He was there the whole night," a source says of R.Pattz. "He came at 5:30 and didn't leave until the end of the after party. He just seemed really relaxed and happy. He was drinking beer and puffing on an electronic cigarette."
Pattinson, scruffy and dressed in a gray Gucci suit and black shirt but with no tie, seemed to have come to the gala with a male pal, the source said.
But last night, it was a much more casual Pattinson who hit Jimmy Kimmel's star-studded Emmys afterparty at members-only Soho House.
He arrived at about 11 p.m., another source reports.
"Rob was with a male friend and they were both dressed down, Rob in a hat and leather jacket," the source said. "They hung outside for most of the night…Rob chatted with a few different people throughout the night but was mellow and hung in a smaller group."

Nicolas Ghesquière Talks About Kristen in His Interview
HR: The campaign was shot by Steven Meisel and stars Twilight actress
Kristen Stewart, why was she chosen to be the face of the fragrance?
Ghesquière: For me, Kristen Stewart has a very unique personality. I had this special project due for a magazine and I asked her to be a part of that story. That’s how we met. The moment I met her I thought she was so Balenciaga and she had such an interesting personality and a great beauty. I began wishing for her to be part of my story so I kept that in mind, and when we started working on this project, I knew it had to be her.

Laurie Halse Anderson, Speak Author, Talks About Kristen in Her Blog
"In other news, Kristen Stewart named Speak as one of the three books that changed her life.
This PSA aired after the first showing of Kristen in the Speak movie.
The hotline had never gotten such a tremendous response. Blew. Up. The.
Phones.
Someone sent me a link to a recent interview
in which she said that the response to both the movie and the PSA
helped her see the impact that film can have in people’s lives. She
talks about Speak starting at about the 3:40 mark. She was so, so young
when she made the movie, but her talent was undeniable. It’s been fun to
watch her develop as an actress. (Though when the press hounds her, I
get really defensive and want to start yelling at people!)"
