My God, I'm so in love with my boyfriend.
Don't let other people's conversations about what you're doing or you've done be part of your own conversation.
Girls are scary. Large groups of girls scare the crap out of me.
Success is always something completely different to people. I feel like I've succeeded, if I'm doing something that makes me happy and I'm not lying to anybody.
There's no reason to regret anything. Regret is a waste.
What I really mean is that actors do the interview process because they have to. It's a good bargain: If I can do this part then I'll sell it. I just wish it wasn't me who had to do it because it feels very unnatural.
You know what? I don't care. I'm going to do what I want to do.
There's nothing stronger than a woman protecting her child
One of the greatest struggles of becoming an adult is figuring out what you want to do and what makes you happy. The courageous thing is to stick with it and see it through and see if you were correct.
Once you have done with school, you realise that it is just a smaller version of life, and really I have felt that I should have been an adult since I was aged about five.
It's amazing to realize that a lot of the insecurities I had when I was younger have pretty much disappeared.
Judging a person does not define who they are. It defines who you are
Nobody lived my life. Nobody cried my tears. So don't judge me.
I love people and want to be good to people. If I'm in restaurant and somebody doesn't treat a waitress right, I literally will leave. I will unfriend you. You are not my friend anymore.
I want to make books. I want to take pictures and then write all over the pictures. And then I don't have to say a complete story, because I have the picture, and I have just a word.
I think it's cool to come out of somewhere where you're being pushed into this mold and then you figure out in that who you are.
I think to be a good director you have to be a good person and you have to care about people.
I think we want to be around people that kind of push us and inspire us and maybe teach us.
There's an idea about who I am that's eternally projected onto me, and then I almost feel like I have to fulfill that role. Even when things come out of my mouth, I want to be sure I'm saying exactly what I mean.
When you can literally Google anything, you don't feel like you have to go see it in person. You can do a lot of traveling in your bedroom, but you're not touching anything and you're not feeling it.
Sure, 'Twilight' is really huge right now and everybody's freaking out over it, but it will go away soon and I will be back to doing what I'm used to doing: weird little movies that nobody sees.
The strangest part about being famous is you don't get to give first impressions anymore. Everyone already has an impression of you before you meet them.
There's no way to be prepared for a conversation with someone you don't know about something that means the world to you.
I think it's ridiculous that you need to look a certain way to be conventionally pretty.
You don't need to give reasons for the things you do- you just have to do what you want. And sometimes the thing that seems messed up to everyone else is what's right for you. You have to do it and not be ashamed of it.
There are always a lot of leading questions and opinions. Of course, our work is creative, and it's subjective.
There are things that directors know about me that people shouldn't know.
You can't really be too calculated about everything in life.
I don't want to be Angelina Jolie. Not that Angelina Jolie is not the most talented, beautiful, successful, amazing, admirable person who does good things for the world, but I don't want to be a movie star like that.
Hateful, racist and ignorant remarks. When I hear people criticize without knowing the context, it makes me boil inside.
I am thrilled. I love movies. I don't have those nagging, regretful feelings about either of them, it is a miracle.
There's no way to eloquently put this. I just can't go to the mall. It bothers me that I can't be outside very often. And also to not ever be just 'some girl' again. Just being some chick at some place, that's gone.
Some people are good at performing in front of people like that, but I'm uncomfortable at it. I think maybe that's the difference between acting and being a performer. I don't think I'm a natural performer.
What really kills me—it really rips me up—is when people think I’m abrasive, inconsiderate or ungrateful because I don’t go outside in a bikini and wave to the paparazzi. Come on!
You find in life that there are different levels of being in love with someone, and maybe everyone doesn't find that undeniable, indescribable... I can't describe it, it's indescribable.
Sometimes your characters in films do things that you wouldn't do. You're not playing yourself all the time.
You're literally being an actor - you're pretending - and that's not what I like to do.
People are obsessed. There's an incredibly large group of people that spend most of their time considering other people's lives. It's strange to me.
My brother's a grip. My mom's a scriptwriter. My dad's a director. So it's like, at heart, I'm a below-the-line girl.
People who call me the Twilight girl and mean it. Please, pigeon hole me. That means I did it right.
It's okay,' you know? It's okay to be you. It's okay to just not be okay. It's okay to not be okay.
If you look at the actual movies that I've done, the whole struggle is to get to that point, so it's not something that you just have so easy . . . But it's okay. It doesn't bother me. I've done okay so far.
If I could read any person's mind, it would be my cat's.
If you like yourself, other people will like you
I want to go to college. I'm going to take four years off. I don't want to miss that. I want to be a writer. I think that'd be awesome.
I mean there's that awesome quote where Joanne Woodward said, 'Acting is like sex: you should do it, not talk about it.'
I really, specifically, love acting, and I think it's a really cool thing to be really indulgent and follow that.
I say whatever I want, I look whatever I want. That doesn't mean I don't question myself and feel insecure.
I stand by every mistake I've ever made, so judge away.
I prefer to be hated than be false and fool people.
I play music but only for myself. For my ears only.
I guarantee whenever I get married or have a baby, everyone is going to want to know my kid's name and I'm not going to say it for ages. That's just the way I want to do it. It'll come out but it won't have come from me.
I like being in movies that have a great story. I'm not so interested in being a Hollywood star. It's a job, you know. When you wake up at six in the morning every day for a week, it feels like hard work.
I can only play characters that I feel like are real people and in a complete way and in such a whole way that if I fake any aspect of it I will have failed them and literally they're slaughtered.
Beauty is more than just shining for others. You don’t need to have the perfect face to be beautiful. Being ugly or beautiful is a matter of energy, and true beauty comes from the heart.
Everyone always says, 'Kristen got 'Panic Room' because she looks like Jodie Foster.' But it was actually Nicole Kidman who was supposed to play my mother.
A lot of times, it gets weird when some guy is playing your dad. It feels weird to you. It feels like they're forcing sentiment. It's disgusting.
Hate me for who I am, I don't care. At least I'm not pretending to be someone I'm not.
All I try to do in the press is to be honest about something that I really care about.
I always say every single moment that has led me to this moment has made me who I am.
Everyone wants to know about the gold ring. Everyone knows already - it's ridiculous.
Do what you need to do and if it hurts too much obviously don't do it.
Actors walk around wearing these little tool-belts of acting skills. And I just don't find that interesting to watch. I never want to see someone who clearly can cry at the drop of a hat. That's so uninteresting.
Acting is such a personal thing, which is weird because at the same time it's not. It's for the consumption of other people. But in terms of creative outlets and expressing yourself, it's just the most extreme version of that that I've ever found. It's like running, it's exertion.
Actors can be very precious about their work and their scenes, but I think good actors have a strong understanding of narrative and are very often not as precious about that stuff. They just can't be because they understand what makes for a better film, and that it's the job of the actor to work toward that, and then if you want you can go to acting class or workshops. But making movies is not workshops.
To me 'they lived happily ever after' means to be happy with yourself! My parents always taught me that being happy has to work without Prince Charming. My life is completed without a prince but it's nice of course to have someone who loves you and fights for you.
What I did suffer when I was young was because I was sort of a hick coming into New York City. I was made fun of by a lot of the Factory people. Even Andy Warhol thought I was a hick.
You don't always just have to do an indie movie to feel like you're controlling it with a few people that you really have connected with, creatively. You can do it on a bigger scale.
What you don't see are the cameras shoved in my face and the bizarre intrusive questions being asked, or the people falling over themselves, screaming and taunting to get a reaction.
The best aspects of every vampire, with all of their gifts, what makes them really special is just an enhanced version of what they were when they were human.
With every project, you feel like you're trying to find your place to vent. For any actor, that's typically the feeling that drives you to do it.
You should never step outside of your life and look at it like it’s this malleable thing you can shape so that people view it a certain way.
Vanity is a silly thing to be obsessed with because... it sounds cliché but it leads you to emptiness; it goes away.
Women inevitably have to work a little bit harder to be heard. Hollywood is disgustingly sexist. It's crazy.
You can make a movie that's more focused on the jokes, but Young Adult was not that kind of movie.
Sincerity seems to be a problem today. I'd rather be true and hated than be false and fool people.
This wasn't a choice between you and Jacob. It was a choice between who I am and who I should be.
Times have changed, but people don't change. That's why ON THE ROAD has never been irrelevant.
When I dress up, I have to have a lot of help. I was in a T-shirt until a few minutes ago.
When actresses play actresses, or actors play actors, they have to find another level.
Why would I want anything that's private to become entertainment for other people?
Sometimes you have to be selfish to get what you want and move forward in life.
The point is to stumble upon things in your life, and not plan them out.
There's nothing weak about being subject to something.
Things don't happen for no reason.
Why is everything so easy for me?
My mother found a letter, though, that I wrote her when I was 8 years old and it was a letter where I asked if she could take me to the orphanage because I would like to adopt a little baby.
It's a funny thing: You want so badly for people to see what you do - you're proud of it - and I like the effect that movies have on people. But the attention can also make me uncomfortable.
It's impossible to always get across what I'm trying to say, but, if I just stay honest, then I'm not going to look back on any of these interviews and wonder what I was trying to do or be.
People have a hard time accepting when someone displays even the slightest amount of discomfort in the spotlight. You're supposed to soak up every bit of fame like it’s sunshine.
It took me a long time to realise that I was a girl as a teenager. At that point I never really believed it. I looked like a boy for a long time. Now, finally, I feel like a woman.
People don't really recognize me often. I think I just look different in person or something. I'm also not very approachable, and maybe they're just like 'Ooohhh, she's scary!'
It's funny when you can actually relate to the fans on a human level and it happens all the time. People assume that's impossible. So when that happens it's a cool thing.
It's not hard for me to figure out who I like or who my friends are. I trust my energy meter, but I'm also not afraid to let people in who might hurt me.
![My family are amazing. I had like, the perfect upbringing. It sucks for people like Lindsey [Lohan], but it's not her fault she's so off the rails.](https://quotes.thefamouspeople.com/images/quotes/kristen-stewart-138947.jpg)
My family are amazing. I had like, the perfect upbringing. It sucks for people like Lindsey [Lohan], but it's not her fault she's so off the rails.
People say, 'Just say who you're dating. Then people will stop being so ravenous about it.' It's like, 'No they won't! They'll ask for specifics.'
People sometimes actually get me to think I take things too seriously and maybe I'm too earnest and it's coming across like I'm better than them.
It's weird talking about projects as an actor because you're so in them. I would prefer to write a paper and deliver it to everyone via e-mail.
It's not like I sit around watching my movies again and again, but I've never quite believed actors when they say they don't watch themselves.
People think that I'm really untouchable, and that's also translated into a lot of people thinking that I'm super-ungrateful.
Pity is a really odd thing with abused women. You don't want anyone to think that you feel bad - even though you might.
People are always going to find the ones with the weird like buzz-worthy thing about a movie and like run with it.
