Marie Claire interviewd Kristen recently. Here’s an excerpt of the very long interview.
Do you sometimes feel exhausted by the attention you’ve had to deal with?
It’s hard to talk about that without giving the impression that I’m being negative or complaining. I love acting – I’m so passionate about the process, but there’s a helpless feeling when you can’t do the things you used to be able to do without attracting a large crowd. I knew the business very well before I had the chance to be a part of these films and so it’s not like it’s a shock to me. I would just rather not have to worry about where I can go just so that I’m not going to be followed. Sometimes I stay in my hotel room when I’m working on films or while I’m doing publicity for them. It’s less aggravation.Is it important to you to have the chance to work on other films in between the Twilight movies?
I love to work. I don’t have any master plan as far as my career is concerned. I just choose projects on instinct. It was so interesting for me to be able to do The Runaways and play such a fierce personality, and the other films I’ve done have all had something that was really meaningful to me. I try to find roles that connect with me rather than think about how big the film will be or what it will do for my career. I could never structure things that way.
What is your take on Eclipse?
We see a more confident and determined Bella. She’s evolving and learning more about who she is and what she wants out of life. She also has to deal with the possibility that she’s lying to herself about being in love with Jacob when she is still, in fact, deeply in love with Edward.
Is it a case of Bella overcoming a lot of her self-doubts?
Bella is surer of herself and not as moody and despairing as she was in New Moon. It’s a really interesting progression that we see in Eclipse. It was interesting for me to take the character into a different space. I enjoy being able to leave one film and one chapter in her life and then get to explore her again. Most films force you to leave your character and that’s the end of the journey. So with Bella it’s exciting to be able to revisit her and rediscover new elements to her character.Do you think Eclipse is a classic love triangle situation?
It is in the sense that Edward and Jacob are both fighting for Bella. She thinks she knows what she wants, but now she has to be able to stand up and say, OK, so maybe every choice isn’t completely impulsive. Maybe there are different levels of love, and maybe my ideological views of what I think you are to me are wrong, and maybe I could look at somebody else.
Do you feel you understand better now why the public is so fascinated with the Twilight story?
I think you have these intense personal dramas and the kind of deep feelings that Bella is experiencing, and everything that is going on between Bella and Edward and Bella and Jacob, that these very intense and private stories are developing where there’s all this chaos and danger surrounding them. So you’re thrown into a world that most people can relate to on a personal level, and then there’s this incredibly exotic and threatening backdrop to that world.
