I have no doubt that you’ll see this quote from Kristen Stewart taken out of context and posted on Perez or elsewhere soon. This is an article that hasn’t been covered much from way back in November of 2008, concerning fans who were constantly monitoring the Twilight movie shoots as they took place:
Even as small crowds of the books’ fans would follow from one outdoor location to another, she says she “kept her head down the entire way.”
“I just didn’t pay attention,” Stewart recalls. “I was like, ‘You guys are celebrating something that has not come true yet. So, you are really retarded and have nothing to do with this creative process and I really don’t want to hear you celebrate in front of me. Get out of here! It’s my responsibility!’”
As I’ve said before, I appreciate Kristen’s honesty. Things are never just black or white–if you’ve ever been in any sort of friendship or relationship, you know this as fact. Stewart has stated very concretely that she loves the fans, but at the same time–wouldn’t you be frustrated with hundreds of eyes on your every move as you were trying to do your job? It’d be really frustrating after a while, despite the best intentions of the fans.
Perhaps she could have stated this more diplomatically, and the term she used is not very PC, but I appreciate her forthrightness. I take these outbursts from Kristen Stewart with a grain of salt, because I know they are part of a bigger picture of a vibrant, talented, and dynamic young actress that has had fame hit very quickly and hasn’t had a quiet moment to reflect on in it all yet. I think Kristen Stewart wants want everyone wants–a moment of peace every once in a while.
Advance warning: Please keep it civil in the comments, and read the original article for context.
UPDATE: Commenter Allie points out that Kristen Stewart has addressed this quote in a video interview–
