Kristen Stewart Says You Don't Know "Dick Shit" About Her (Or Anyone, Really)

I feel like in recent months, the world has tipped upside down, and suddenly we’re living in a place where I REALLY like Kristen Stewart. I don’t know if maybe I’ve gone through some sort of Sliders-type portal, but I have to say that in this particular version of Earth, I am fully on team KStew. I’m not saying she’s a great actress (things aren’t THAT crazytown), but she does seem to be a young woman who just wants to do some art, and refuses to play any sort of Hollywood game. So she keeps her head down and stays quiet, and then she’s torn apart for it. But when she does occasionally decide to mumble her feelings about how she’s perceived, she actually makes a lot of sense.

In the next year we’ll probably seeing more of her than we have as of late, as she’s preparing for a long swath of film releases. I sincerely hope that by the end of that time, we’re ALL living in this pro-KStew Sliders world. But if not, according to this interview she gave to Vanity Fair France, she couldn’t care less. It’s a long section, but worth the read. She starts out giving zero sh*ts, then somehow goes negative with the number of sh*ts she is able to give, and by the end she’s reached McConaughey levels of existential commentary.

I never really thought of anything in terms of designing a career. I never tried to shape people’s perspectives of me, which is something that a lot of people do. There are certain actors and artists who want to be a certain kind of actor or certain kind of artist, and I’m really not like that. I have very much fallen into every situation, every creative and not creative experience, that I have delved into, based on gut. Therefore true regret can never eat at me. In terms of what people consume about you and then subsequently how they shape their opinion of you, none of it is wrong. It’s all a varied assortment of whatever flavors they’ve picked up at the newsstand or in the theater or on the Internet. But that literally is something that is not designed by me and so it’s not something that bothers me. But I don’t want to add to this already pre-existing, enormous mound of salacious bullshit that isn’t real. That’s not me defending anything. That’s true. Just being in the middle of it it’s weird to comment on it. But I feel oddly capable of stepping outside and going, “Isn’t it obvious to everyone?” I mean, it’s fun, like Valentine says, in Sils Maria. The stories are fun, but do you not realize that there are characters that have been cast in the media and people like to get their weekly fill on these stories. It’s like soap opera. I try not to let it mess with me, because my true personal life, as much as people think they know about it, they don’t know dick shit. Who could? By the way nobody knows. Nobody knows what the fuck is going on. You’re going to die. You’re going to lay next to the people that you know the most in life, the people that you’re going to grow old with. But you’re going to lay next to them in the middle of the night deeply curious about them and who they are, because nobody fucking knows anything.
