Today Entertainment Weekly brings up a sneak peek of an interview with Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, the full interview will be featured in an upcoming issue of Entertainment Weekly.
Entertainment Weekly sat down with Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner for a feature interview running in this week’s magazine to discuss the world they inhabit within the Twilight universe, both on screen and off. In today’s preview, the stars open up about the glare of the media spotlight and how its intrusiveness recently led Stewart to compare it to rape — a comment she has since apologized for.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Do you feel more at peace about being in the spotlight these days?
KRISTEN STEWART: I just feel more comfortable, more myself, and I feel less bare. I feel much more like nobody can take anything from me. Before, I felt literally like my chest was cracked open and people could just reach in and examine and pick at anything they wanted, and it just freaked me right out.
You got a lot of criticism recently for comparing the intrusiveness of the paparazzi to rape. The comment got blown out of proportion very quickly, and you apologized.
STEWART: I’m so sensitive about stuff like that. That is the one subject that means a lot to me. I made one movie directly concerning it [2004's Speak], and I made another one where my character has a horrible history of rape [2010's Welcome to the Rileys]. I talked to a lot of people about it. I used the wrong word. I should have said “violated.” But I’m young and emotional. It’s just the way it goes sometimes. I probably shouldn’t say this, but I just feel like people got so excited once they saw that it was me. It was like, “Sweet! Let’s get her!” And then for the people to exploit it under the guise of being morally upstanding is disgusting — and it embarrassed me because I was a part of it.Did you see it all unfold and then think, I have to issue an apology?
STEWART: No, I was in Korea when it all got bad. My publicist called me and said RAINN had issued this terrible statement.
ROBERT PATTINSON: Who’s Rain?
STEWART: You know, the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network.
PATTINSON: None of those associations came out and gave a statement [criticizing Kristen] without being called upon by the media first — who were doing it specifically to get hits on their websites. That whole system of Internet journalists, where no one is called to account, is almost entirely about hate. All these people get away with doing it because they have no responsibility to anyone. All they need is to get a salacious headline and people click on it, because it’s easy. And it’s quite good being part of these Twilight films because you have to give so many interviews all the time, you can defend yourself. That’s the only way. All of us stick together, as well. There are so many little nerds behind their computers, on their little blogs.
STEWART: See, if I said that? Crucifixion. You can say so much more than me. It’s insane.
PATTINSON: That’s not true at all. When did I say anything [controversial]?
STEWART: You’re really good, but you could say, “I just took a s***on the Queen’s face,” and people would be like, “Oh, I love him! I love him!”
Lol in the ending, where Kristen is talking about how Rob can say whatever, its funny, because its so true…Haha
Haha true. But I think KS has to be more careful about what she says on and off the camera (or during and after interviews) I'm just saying!
I think people overreacted to what she said. Its very true, the press is all over her to try to catch her saying or doing something they can make a big controversial story on and its not right, but I love how Rob came to her defense so sweet.
Kristen apologized as soon as she knew about it, whereas other famous people ( I won't mention names) put their whole leg in their mouth and never say they're sorry. I think Kristen's good people for what she did and the media should print that, they know she apologized. Way to go Kristen.
Kristen and Robert are correct! I have had to speak to media personnel before and they can take innocent statements and turn them back on you… I am very impressed with these Young Professional Actors, they know early on that they are being scrutinized by the media… Although the media can be loving at times, it can also be horrific in its attacks as well. I applaud both Kristen and Robert, if I could speak to them personnally I would tell them to continue believing in what they do and that not all of us will believe the twisted view of media, that we will believe that the characters they play are to show us the experiences that we need to see the point in the story, but that the Professional Actors are human and can have their own opinions. We love you all keep up the GREAT work!
but yet again she says what she thinks before she thinks-doesn't make her a bad person- she is just different and those who hate her for being true to herself should just get over it. were all human- so are actors and actress and do not owe the public a damn thing, you could choose to frequent they're movies or not yet they will still survive. you go k and rob
wow!
