Kristen Stewart covers the March issue of Interview Magazine. The interview was conducted by icon of not giving any f—ks, Patti Smith. It’s interesting to me that Patti Smith would agree to interview Kristen “It’s like a poem, it’s about water” Stewart. But stranger things have happened, of course. Anyway, I only skimmed the Interview piece – I find Interview Mag’s cover stories pretty tedious these days, too much mutual appreciate and ass-kissing for my taste, but you can read the full piece here.

On Twilight: “Anybody who wants to talk sh-t about Twilight, I completely get it, but there’s something there that I’m endlessly, and to this day, f-cking proud of. My memory of it felt—still feels—really good. People are always comparing Twilight to things and trying to figure out why I’ve made certain decisions that I’ve made, and I always say every single moment that has led me to this moment has made me who I am. Every movie that I’ve done, they don’t stand independently from one another because a little bit of me is in every single one of those, and it’s part of my own personal growth.”

Becoming a child actor: “Well, I’m sitting back and enjoying the benefits of a decision that I made when I was a person who I can still relate to but am not anymore.”

On Jodie Foster: “I was really lucky to work with her at such a young age because I’ve had some serious self-persecuting … People sometimes actually get me to think I take things too seriously and maybe I’m too earnest and it’s coming across like I’m better than them. But working with people like Jodie—we are quite kindred. There’s just something when people look at you and go, “Listen, I know it’s awkward, but just keep being honest.” I could have gotten really unlucky and compared myself to another kind of actress and felt inadequate. I can’t, like, put on the show. I’m not a performer. And it’s hard for people to accept a serious tone from a kid without thinking they’re sort of stuck up.

On wearing heels: “I can do it for about three minutes.”

Her next project: “I’m writing a poem for the wedding of one of my best friends.”

Here’s something interesting: Patti Smith is a Twihard!!! For real. She compliments K-Stew on the Twilight franchise, saying, “I loved your work in those films. I thought the commitment of everyone in those films was true. Like The Hunger Games—if you accept the world that you’re entering, and if the people deliver that world, that’s what we’re looking for.” Ha, that’s a dangerous thing to compare the Twilight franchise to The Hunger Games, but whatever. Patti Smith is a Twihard. Patti Smith likes sparkly vampires and lip-biting heroines.

As for Kristen still feeling proud of her work in the franchise… so be it. I like her more for owning that part of her filmography. It’s not like it’s something she can walk away from, you know?
