Kristen Stewart did what most actors in her situation wouldn't: in the
midst of personal scandal, she stepped out to promote her small,
intimate and very personal film, On the Road.
"Thanks, man. Thanks," says Stewart, when told it was good of her to put herself out there, given the scrutiny she's been under.
Granted, she did her interviews with costar Garrett Hedlund and director
Walter Salles. But she put herself out there and for that, I respect
her.The film is based on Jack Kerouac's seminal American novel. Hedlund
plays Dean, who has what could be generously described a very
unconventional relationship with his teen bride, Mary Lou (Stewart).
Plus,Twihards, she's just a cool chick who's smart and well-read, with On the Road being a favorite. "I
was a freshman when I read it. I was projecting to the future a little
bit. Is that what's on its way? It was about knowing that I wasn't there
yet. I hadn't realized what my ambitions were. It made me less insecure
and a little bit more hungry." She's not kidding. "I would have
done anything on the movie. I would have been any crew member. I would
have followed the crew in the car as a fan just to be around it," said Stewart. "Getting
to know the woman behind the character -- she's not the main character
and you do wonder what kind of person would live like that?"
"Personality-wise, we're so different. I am just a little bit more locked up and with time, I think that's going to go," says Stewart. "I don't think it's possible to change who you are. "
Hedlund and Stewart's characters have loosely, effortlessly passionate love scenes in the film. "None
of them were events. Professionally, from an actor's standpoint, you do
what you have to do. I think it's about feeling safe with who you're
with and that you're both there for the right reasons," says Stewart. "The only way to do Mary Lou justice was to feel free and natural doing it. It was always easy. It was done so quickly."
For the actress, the film was a nice break from her blockbuster Twilight series. "I have been pretty lucky. I've gotten to switch things up. Five years of one thing ... it would asinine," says Stewart.And the most important question of the day: why is her finger in a splint? She broke it, shrugs Stewart.
