Kristen Stewart ... she sure is a difficult one, huh? Sometimes she'll say something that's so smart and thoughtful, but then you remember that she does this thing where she;s kind of not a great actress, and it's just confusing. It's sort of a love/hate thing with her, and tragically, with this new interview she did, it's leaning a little towards the latter today.
She did a little movie called "Still Alice," and she plays Julianne Moore's daughter, a young lady who also has aspirations of being an actor. She was asked if she had a lot in common with her character, because it seemed like she did, and this was Kristen's response:
"Kids nowadays, we all dress the same. If you're trying to be an actor and you come to LA, you're probably wearing skinny jeans and a t-shirt. So I didn't want to riddle her with s--- that was going to distract you from the honesty of the relationship. So it definitely resembles me because I didn't try otherwise. There was no effort on my part to hide myself [in "Still Alice"]. All I tried to do with this part was to find myself and show myself. The best way to service this character was to be there honestly, so all affectations were meaningless. I could just have my own. It was selfishly a personal experience, but it had to be so that the viewer would feel it as well. I didn't need to play a character who was outside myself."
So has no one told her that acting is playing a character? That that's sort of the whole entire point? We all know that Kristen tends to play things pretty close to home when it comes to movies, doing the lip biting and weird little looks that she does in real life, but for her to just be all "yeah, whatever" about her entire career, well, that's just disappointing, isn't it?
