In On the Road, we see a far more mature side of Kristen Stewart -- and
certainly more of her in general. She shows skin. She has sex. She does
drugs.
The Walter Salles-directed film is based on Jack Kerouac's book and
co-stars Stewart as the on- and off-again love interest of troubled free
spirit Dean Moriarty (Garrett Hedlund).
Over wine at the Tribeca Grand hotel, Stewart, 22, was happy to discuss
her career, the end of the Twilight film saga, her love of cooking and
her discomfort with being in the spotlight. As for curiosity about her
relationship with Robert Pattinson?
Stewart, never one to spill her guts in public, isn't about to start
now, especially in the wake of photos that surfaced earlier this year of
her getting frisky with another guy, director Rupert Sanders.
"People think they knew a lot about me before. They know even less
now. People will project whatever. It's a huge form of entertainment. As
soon as you step outside your own life and look at it like that and
think that you can shape something -- you need to live your life. I'm
just going to live my life, actually," she says.
A few highlights from the late-afternoon chat:
On the end of the Twilight franchise: "I never felt stuck in
that. Not at all. I had so many opportunities in the midst of that to do
a million things. If it kept me from doing other things, I still
wouldn't resent it. You start a project to finish it. I was eager to get
back and finish the story. (On the Road) wasn't me stepping out to do a
different thing to liberate myself."
On her fame: "There are a few things that make it seem
(expletive) real. It's all totally circumstantial. You sound like you're
complaining. I sit in restaurants and the real normal reaction to
seeing a famous person in a restaurant -- because it's so weird -- is
that people laugh or smile or look over. I feel like I'm in the sixth
grade and everyone in the room is laughing at me. Some people can come
into a room and say hello to everyone and it's fine. I'm not that
person. I don't think I'm very approachable. That's good, though. Rob is
(noticed) way more than I am, especially if we're out together. He's so
recognizable and I'm not. I put a hood on and I'm a girl with long
hair. I can go out."
On the misconception that she's cold and unfriendly: "People
think I'm fairly unapproachable, which is crazy. If I ever meet anyone
who's into Twilight, there's nothing like having someone be like, 'I
love that thing.' This is a very relatable feeling."
On being reserved: "My friends literally applaud me when I go ask
where the bathroom is. Or if I'm like, 'can we get another round of
drinks?' You really took the bull by the horns! I can't imagine a
quality I dislike more in a person (than being entitled)."
