Love It or Leave It: Kristen Stewart for Vogue

Ah Kristen Stewart. You’ve come so far from your early days of not giving a fuck, and look how much you’ve grown. You’ve finally begun to utilize the roach clip properly, so as not to singe off your eyebrows, and look how nicely they’ve grown in. You’ve left the battered Chucks at home and begun to don high-price stilettos in public more and more these days, and you don’t look like Bambi using those long, lanky legs to move around in them, either.

Girl, I’m so happy for you, and I cannot wait ’til all of this shitty Twilight publicity is over and you can go on to acting in movies that don’t facilitate the screaming, crying, and pulling of faces by young girls all over the world, ’cause man.  That shit’s really deterring.

On her selectivity on choosing roles:

“I choose things that are so overly ambitious, and if I can’t do stuff like that, I don’t want to be doing this. A compulsion absolutely fills you,” she says of finding a good part, and admits that she sometimes has difficulty letting go.

On finally putting Bella Swan to bed:

She feels the weight of portraying Bella Swan, “a character who is embedded in so many people’s psyches at this point. It’s starting to enter my head a lot more than it used to because it’s at the end and it’s come such a long way. I just want the fans of the book to be happy.”

On fame in general, and how different things would be if she hadn’t gotten into acting:

“At that time [in early childhood] I just thought it was fun. I don’t think I would ever have been able to be an actress had I not started at nine years old. I would have been the last person to stand up and say, ‘I’d like to star in the play’.”

On how she’s so schmaht and currently reading a dozen books:

“Dave Cullen’s Columbine; Into the Wild author Jon Krakauer’s Under the Banner of Heaven, a study of radical Mormonism; and Anna Karenina.”

I know a lot of you guys thought for a long time that Kristen Stewart was fake and placating and overly dramatic, but I never thought so – I thought she was cool, level-headed, down to earth, and above all, TALENTED. And if this interview with Vogue doesn’t show you the same exact things, then boy, I don’t know what to tell you. I was never into Twilight, and oh, how funny – I’m still not – but I can’t wait to see what this girl’s going to do next.

Short of saying, ‘Nyah nyah, told you so,’ … Alright. Sorry. Here it comes. TOLD YOU SO!
