Kristen Stewart To Marie Claire: 'It Was A Really Traumatic Period In My Early 20s'

Kristen Stewart is wrapped in denim as she takes the cover of Marie Claire magazine’s August 2015 issue.

Check out what the 25-year-old American Ultra actress had to share:

On reaching peace with her public image: “I’m really proud that I am able to move forward and not fall into every mental crater. That’s a new thing for me. Age has made me smarter and calmer. And it is fucking awesome.”

On her success at a young age: “Between ages 15 and 20, it was really intense. I was constantly anxious. I was kind of a control freak. If I didn’t know how something was going to turn out, I would make myself ill, or just be locked up or inhibited in a way that was really debilitating.”

On apologizing: “Lately, I’ve been doing less of the ‘I’m sooooo sorry.’ And more of the ‘No. Fuck. Jesus.’”

On her past and moving forward: “Speaking very candidly, it was a really traumatic period in my early 20s that kick-started something in me that was a bit more feral.”
