Kristen Stewart has shot to fame since the beginning of the
Twilight Saga, but the fame has not strayed her focus. The 19-year-old actress recently opened up to
Parade magazine about diving into the role of Bella Swan and her romance with
Robert Pattinson. “She is confident but not arrogant. Bella is like, ‘I’m allowed to make mistakes and I’m going to do things and take chances and not be ashamed of it,’” Kristen explained about her character. “You see this girl really build herself back up, and by the time she makes this sort of rash decision to spend eternity with a vampire, you believe her. She’s lived life. She’s grown up.”
With nailing the role of Bella, Kristen has had to face more fame than most actresses. "As soon as I stopped trying to control everything that came out of my mouth and every picture of me that came out, that's when I became so much happier,” Kristen revealed. “It wasn't like some big turning point; I've just grown into being able not to care as much. I realize that I'm not going to be able to influence the way everybody perceives me."
As far as her relationship with
Robert Pattinson, Kristen knows what people want, but she’s not opening-up about her personal relationship with him. “I get why fans want to know more about the cast as real people and they want us to be together and all of that. I just have to sort of not think about that,” Kristen explained. “People have a hard time separating us from our characters. There's an incredibly large group that spends most of their time absorbed in the lives of people who've gotten some notoriety. It's strange to me. I can't have anything to do with it or else I'd step in and mess it up for myself, I just let it fall by the wayside. It doesn't really affect me."
