Kristen Stewart: The little one has
quite a temper.
The Twilight star is cheeky and rebellious a twill in the
very succesful Snow White and the
Huntsman (June 13, in France). Meeting with the rising star of Hollywood.
Astride the sofa of the room N°205 of the Bristol hotel, in
Paris, Kristen Stewart moves the interviews with journalists without a murmur.
The success of the Twilght movies earned her a worldwide reputation and the
heart of her partner Robert Pattinson. The 22 years old actress shows an
unusual freedom of speech. The young woman shows she can have a critical eye
about Hollywood. Her next movie, Cali, will set on the X environment… far from Snow
White character ! This girl has not finished to surprising us.
What made you want to
play Snow White on the screen ?
At first, Snow White
is a classic. I like this heroine, because she is deeply kind, full of empathy
to the others. I wanted to compose a human character, close to us. Snow White and the Huntsman, is
especially an epic movie, with beautiful emotional moments and great action
scenes.
This valiant and
warlike Snow White is far from the heroine portrayed in the Brothers Grimm story…
I love the dark side of the character. It’s true there are
some hard times in this movie. Personally, I’m attracted by the dark univers. I
took my character up to this dark side. In this movie, she is not passive : she slips on an
armor, takes the lead of the rebellion against the bad queen (Charlize Theron on the screen).
Do you find something
about yourself in this character ?
Yes, but I think I’m a little more crazy than Snow
White ! (laugh)
The movie is full of
fight scenes, it wast not too hard ?
I like doing my own stunts, I love sport, I’m a big action
movies consumer. On the set, I suffered a lot. (After having hurt her hand, the actress gave accidentally a punch in
the face of her colleague Chris Hemsworth – who play the Huntsman – during a
fight scene.)
What question would
you ask to your mirror, if he had magical powers ?
I rarely speak with a miroir (laugh). If I was faced with a
magical mirror, I would ask him some questions about myself, maybe… The most
important thing is to succeed in looking at oneself, to see
ourselves as we are.
You have made more
confidential movies like The Runaways. Be recognized for your skills as an
actress, is it important for you ?
I always want to challenge myself. Directors who hire me
feel it.They choose me, because they think I deserve it. Sometimes, I work
oneself to death, to live up people
hopes, but I don’t want to prove anything so far. I don’t think about it.
Snow White and the Huntsman will be released (in France) a few
weeks after On The Road, a Walter
Salles’ movie. What experience has most enriched you ?
I believe that there is a difference with a blockbuster,
like Snow White and the Huntsman, and
an independent movie, like On the Road. In my case, I prefer shoot
small movies. You’ll never see me in one of these comedies who are productions
line, with hundred of people around you.
Shoot this type of movie , give me the sensation to be a number, a
machine for making dollars. I refuse movies made and thought to make millions.
Your outspokenness is pretty rare…
I’m not very diplomatic in life, I say what I think.
Hollywood is an
unkind industry toward actresses. How do you protect yourself ?
I think people are tired hearing actors selling themselves
in the interviews. I don’t want to play this game. Sometimes it’s embarrassing…
(She pauses herself) I don’t see why we should sell ourself. I love movies I
made and I would do anything to defend them, but we must stop taking actresses
for products.
You seem enjoy
talking about you, to promote your films ?
In the interviews, I love talking about my job. On the other
hand, reveal his life in a talk show is a strange experience. You know what I
mean ? This is a concept that I find it hard to understand.
Some young actresses
resort to cosmetic surgery. How do you explain this ?
Actresses age in Hollywood was always a problem . I would
like to say that aging does not bother me, but it would not be telling the
truth, because I’m worried about this. Like all women.
Fame makes you happy ?
Succes makes me happy. On the other hand, fame is a burden.
I can’t like my job more than I love it today. I must share this passion with
millions of people, and it is an unique position, it’s a life that few people
can know.
