“I don’t think there’s a director that could have done it the same way Walter did it. He was so immersed, I think he invested so much of himself and his life into understanding these people.” – Sam Riley
Sam Riley talks Kristen "To be that good when she's 20 is really remarkable."
RedBull.com Did you spend much time with your On The Road co-star Kristen Stewart?
Sam Riley: She is very good. She’s so good that she is not going to be held back by her [Twilight] franchise. To be that good when she’s like 20 years old or whatever is really remarkable.
Sam Riley and Tom Sturrridge talk More about Kristen and 'On the Road'
Sam Riley loved working with Kristen Stewart in 'On the Road'. The British actor takes on the lead role of Sal Paradise - who leaves his aunt's house in New York to go on a road trip across the US - in the big screen adaptation of Jack Kerouac's 1957 novel and he Kristen who plays disaffected drifter Marylou is "a really cool girl".
He said: "Working with Kristen was great - she's a fantastic actress and a really cool girl."
Although Sam loved working with his co-stars - who also include Amy Adams, Viggo Mortensen and Garrett Hedlund - he admitted he was worried about taking on such an iconic role but felt he couldn't turn down such a great opportunity. He told BANG Showbiz: "I don't know when it's coming out but I'm excited about it. I was a bit scared taking on such a big role. I don't know why though because I kept asking for it.
"If you get offered a part like that you can't say no to it no matter how intimidating it is."

nextmovie Exclusive Q and A: Tom Sturridge ‘Forever’ After
Speaking of your gorgeous co-stars, how has working with Kristen Stewart on the set of “On the Road” been?
Tom: It was so terrifying entering into that world and what was great was just having someone that I knew and actually working with her. She’s just a f**king extraordinary actress, just really, really extraordinary and it’s astonishing just to see her do her job.
And how was shooting otherwise?
Tom: It was genuinely, one of the deepest working experiences I’ve ever had. It was extraordinary.
What was so extraordinary about it?
Tom: Well, firstly to be a part of that group to take on the filming of that novel – just to be a part of it is pretty f**king incredible in itself. And working with Walter Salles, who I think is one of the greatest directors alive, and then working with these actors who, to me, are the best actors working today and together trying to do justice to what is such a phenomenal novel. It was kind of amazing, and we were shooting for six months, we rehearsed for a month. It was such a massive part of my life.

Sam Riley Defends Kristen and Talks About 'On The Road'
GuardianUK For the past six months he has been travelling all over America, shooting Walter Salles' adaptation of Jack Kerouac's On the Road. As Sal Paradise, Kerouac's autobiographical narrator, Riley heads a cast that includes Garrett Hedlund and Kristen Stewart.
Riley had to get fit – "my mum calls me a streak of piss" – and spend four weeks in a beatnik bootcamp. He pulls a face. "Don't f--king ask." Did they all get stoned? "We were allowed to, but not encouraged. I'm a 30-year-old who used to smoke for breakfast, but the Americans smoke super-strength skunk so I stuck to my hash. Kerouac experts talked to us, we watched films, learned the difference between Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie."
And how was Stewart, star of the Twilight films, one of the biggest – and, according to the tabloids who won't leave her alone – grumpiest actors in the world? "She's just 20! The tabloids can f--k off! She wasn't grumpy at all. She was a bit of a Rapunzel character in her hotel suite, not wanting to come to the bar to spend all evening having her photo taken."

OTR Update: Bonding Time With The Boys of 'On The Road' - Kristen's 'Bodyguards'
Jerry Cimino, the Beat Museum curator and a Beat Angel relates "I mentioned to Sam and Garrett how I'd seen the video clip on YouTube of Kristen Stewart flying into Argentina and how the mob at the airport just exploded with excitement. So much so that the video was very frightening. Sam laughed. "Yeah, we were on either side of her for that. We were her bodyguards, nobody even knew who we were."

John Allen Cassady talks about meeting Kristen and the OTR Cast + New Pics
John Allen Cassady was in England visiting his mother, Carolyn Cassady, when he got the call from Walter Salles, Director of "On The Road". Walter wanted to know if John would be willing to interrupt his visit with Carolyn so he could meet and give a talk to the cast and crew of the movie while they were filming in Montreal. Walter promised a round trip flight from London to Montreal and that John would be back at his mum's place in a few days. John only wanted to know one thing: "Will I get to meet Kristen Stewart?" He was assured he'd meet everyone so John boarded that silver bird.
They picked John up in a limo and delivered him to a five star hotel in Montreal. To his chagrin, Kristen wasn't waiting there for him. They brought him to a party where he met everyone. He spoke to people he recognized and people he didn't. John took photos with disposable cameras because he'd left his digital back in London. He took pictures of everyone and everything. The next day he's having lunch with the producers and asks, "So when do I get to meet Kristen Stewart?" "John," they said, "You met her last night. You flirted shamelessly for hours. You got photos of the two of you together." John didn't know what she looked like! "And I wasn't even drinking," he said.
Back in London John got all his pictures developed. One of them was lost by the photo company. It was the one with all the photos of John and Kristen Stewart. "Story of my life," John said.
Kristen Stewart dishes lunch on the set of On The Road with her co-stars (Garrett Hedlund, Tom Sturridge and Sam Riley) out of the frame. (photo by John Allen Cassady who thought he was taking a picture of the lunch spread). John's only comment was "What a dish! (And the food wasn't bad, either!) Har har..."

FYI. John Allen Cassady is the son of Neal (played by Garrett Hedlund) Cassady. He was named after his father's 'On the Road' pals, Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg, portrayed by Sam Riley and Tom Sturridge, respectively.
