K-Stew Talks To 4TNZ!

Bring it, Bella!

At the New Moon press conference, 4TNZ got to chat with Kristen Stewart!

4TNZ: How did you guys break in new director Chris Weitz?

Kristen: Chris has everything. To be a good director you have to be a good person and you have to care about people. I couldn't have done this unless I had such a believable environment and comfortable safe environment to be so vulnerable in. And he provided that like tenfold. He's one of the coolest guys, one of the smartest, funniest guys I know. And he really loves the project as well, he wasn't just like jumping on the next big thing. So it wasn't about breaking him in at all. I only, he only helped make everything better, he made everything what it is. He's incredible, I love him.

Whoa, love? Strong words! But Kristen also dished about her love triangle with Rob, Taylor Lautner, dealing with the paparazzi and more...

Q: Can you talk about working with Taylor... the controversy going into the movie about Jacob possibly being recast?

Kristen: Yeah. I think that that controversy has probably been like made bigger than it was. Jacob is such a different person, he becomes a man. And I always knew that Taylor could do that. We just needed to make sure, it's so important... Even seeing him walk around on set was like a different experience. He's literally become a grown up... He's also like the nicest guy I’ve ever met. And I know that I'm using this grammatically incorrect but he’s the funnest guy I've ever hung out with. So, I'm so proud of him.

Q: How do you draw the line between what the fans and public wants to know so much about your private life?

Kristen: Right. Um, I don’t know... I think as soon as I stopped trying to control everything that came out of my mouth and every picture that came out. That's when I became so much happier. It wasn’t like it was a turning point, I had just grown into being able to not care as much... And I get why [fans] want to know more about us and they want us to be together and all of that. And I just have to sort of not think about.


Q: Can you talk about the break-up scene with Edward and just how emotional it was to do that? I know a lot of young girls in the audience last night were crying.

Kristen: Oh, that's good. That was the scariest thing I've ever... I was almost as worried about messing it up than I was about what I actually should have been thinking about which was the issues that Bella's dealing with. Because reading it, it's such an iconic, I mean that moment is, There's nothing like it in reality even. Like, its not even like a normal break-up scene because I don't, I know what it's like to get broken up with but I don’t know what it's like to get broken up with by a vampire who I've now been physically and chemically altered by... That was the most intimidating scene in the entire movie.

Q: Other than that were there any challenging scenes or moments?

Kristen: Um, yeah. Bella’' so sure all the time. And this is the one movie where she actually is baffled and totally like I don't know. And it's weird to play Bella like that because she's so not like that. That was difficult. I can't think of a particular scene. It was really hard to go back and forth because you don’t shoot a movie in sequence, obviously. I had to do stuff with Jacob where I was alive and happy, out of this depression thing. And then after lunch go back and scream in my bed for six hours. So, that was difficult.

Q: What is the craziest moment you've had with a fan?

Kristen: Um, the funniest thing in the world just happened to me in Brazil. This one guy was chasing after us, I mean there was a huge crowd anyway, but this one very persistent fellow was like "Where is Hobart! Where is Hobart!" And I couldn't stop laughing and I felt really bad because he was like distraught and emotional and I was just like "it's ROBERT." And it was really funny.

Q: I was wondering how you take when fans relate you and Robert together in real life?

Kristen: Um, I totally understand why these people have a hard time separating ourselves from our characters and also just sort of the way our world is going. People are obsessed... There's an incredible large group of people that spend most of their time considering other peoples' lives. It's strange. I don't... like I said, I can't have anything to do with it or else I step in a mess it up for myself, and I can't even do it in a way that is complete. So I let it kind of fall by the wayside. It doesn't really affect me.

Q: You've talked about living in the moment and enjoying it. Is there a certain memory from the set that you'll always take with you?

Kristen: When we wrapped in Italy, the last scene I did, I was running through a square through a bunch of people and it was just around this corner of, this one little part of that little montage where I'm running through. And there were so many people around and there was so much energy and you could feel everyone was expecting that we're almost finished. I can't turn off, I need to be fully and completely on up until that very last moment. I remember the second we wrapped and I said at Comic Con that my favorite part of New Moon was when we wrapped, and people took it like the wrong way. It wasn't like I was so glad to be done. It was the most memorable moment for me because I literally fell apart. I couldn't handle it. It was one of the coolest experiences I've had on a movie so far. Chris was there, it was something that we had together really and um it just felt really good. And that was my most memorable experience.
