Collider asked Kristen about the Yellow Handkerchief, her growth as an actress, and the Twilight Saga.
“Question: When you go on road trips, do you find them to be profound journeys of self-discovery?
Kristen Stewart: The only road trip that I’ve ever taken was back from Portland when I was up there doing Twilight. I bought a little truck and drove home. It wasn’t like the most transformative experience but it was fun. It gave me a sense of freedom and going away from something that was a rather intense experience.
Q: As the world is your oyster now, what attracts you to a role?
KS: I mean, as much as you can say I’d like to do this because it’s different from what I’ve done before, I can’t really plan things out like that because despite whether or not a character sort of fits my description and the script is good, what actually drives me to do something like this, which is a really bizarre thing if you think about it: to play a part in a film and for more reason than just “Oh, I get to be in a movie.” It’s like no, I want to live out this life. It’s like, why? So it has to speak to me in some way and that’s always hard to describe, so I don’t know what I want to do. This is the first time I haven’t had one of my next jobs lined up so I have a totally clean horizon. That’s actually pretty exciting.”
