Kristen Stewart Always Dreamed of Being a Director

Kristen Stewart opened up to THR about lots of topics including the fascination with celebrities, her Cesar Award win, and much more!

Here’s what the 24-year-old actress had to share:

On the celebrity industry: “If you think about the source of it all…which is really the big, big, big green monster of cash, there’s just no way that that’s stopping. It’s a new industry – celebrity news is a whole new form of entertainment – and it’s a huge, booming, f—ing money-making industry, so why would it stop? I love what I do and so it’s worth protecting.”

On her dreams growing up: “I’ve never, ever been like, ‘One day, I’m gonna win an Oscar,’ Truly, my ‘one day’ was always, ‘I’m gonna be a director! One day, I’m gonna direct movies!’”

On filming Clouds of Sils Maria: “I’ve seen so many of those scenes play out in real life. You know, weird stuff goes on behind closed doors, and we [Clouds' makers] sort of open them up and go, ‘This is what might be going on in this woman’s life.’”

On going after the part in Clouds of Sils Maria: “I just couldn’t really wrap my head around it. It’s a good part, but if I played an actress involved in this scandal, in the extreme way that it’s presented in the film, it would have been satirical for me and just not as interesting. So I fought for it [the part of the assistant]… and then the stars shifted in some way and it all worked out.”
