Kristen Stewart covers the December issue of Glamour UK, all to promote Part I of Breaking Dawn. Most of the interview is Kristen discussing the film and there’s very little of her talking about subjects that are often tricky for her – like the paparazzi, or her education (and lack there of) or whether Sparkles is officially her boyfriend. Kristen still curses up a blue streak in this interview (just like her GQ UK piece), but this is one of the friendlier pieces I’ve ever read with Kristen – meaning she came across as open, not so twitchy, and like she’s a reasonably well-adjusted young woman. Here are some highlights from the interview:

The sex scenes had to be re-edited so there wouldn’t be an R-rating: “It was so weird, it didn’t even feel like we were doing a Twilight film. I was like, ‘Bella! What are you doing? Wow! What is happening here?!’ It was very surreal. We [originally] got rated R. They re-cut it.”

More on Breaking Dawn: “It doesn’t get more action-packed… [But] they definitely get more physical. Well, they get married. We totally have sex – finally!”

Sparkles on the sex scenes: “I’m looking forward to the pillow-biting scene. I thought that was so funny. Of all the random things too do, really? He bites the pillow.”

Working out to prepare for the sex scenes: “Usually we all make fun of Taylor for working out so often, and then suddenly me and Rob were like ‘S***’ and were running around the block while Taylor laughed at us.”

The wedding scene: “I had to be shrouded in secrecy the entire two days of filming. It was crazy… I was on full lockdown, as if I was wearing millions of dollars’ worth of diamonds. It was one of those moments you go, ‘This is something to remember,’ and you want to put yourself in the experience so that it doesn’t pass you by. It ended up being great for everyone, I think.”

Kristen on her relationship with Sparkles: “It’s funny when this question comes up, because I sort of feel like, I don’t really care! People can say whatever they want…. [The interest] is totally understandable, but when it’s personal to you, it’s like your life becomes a product and I’m repelled by that. I don’t like to give away gems that people are gonna be like. ‘Oh my God!’ So I’ll always just shrug it off — in fact, I always find it kind of funny, and not just with Rob.”

On how she’s not as nervous as she was in 2007: “That’s a fair assessment. I don’t think there was much behind it other than I was young, and expecting it, and trying way too hard to be ‘not fake’. When I was younger, I’d look around and see these people, even people I knew, start to do an interview and become a completely different person. I was always scared of being like that. Someone would [ask a question] and you could see my whole thought process on my face. It’s like, ‘Hide that s–t! What are you doing?'”

On whether she ever Googles herself: “Not any more, man. I do like to look at what I wear, though. It’s not like I put on a f–king dress and don’t care about it after.”

On whether she prefers American jocks or British lads: “Well, I’m kind of repulsed by jocks from anywhere, so I have to go with the lads.”

On comparing London life to the States: “In L.A. you have to be fairly selective about where you go, but I’m so fine here. It’s similar to New York, in that people are doing their own thing and they feel like they’re probably cooler than you, so I tend to be able to get around very easily. We have bars, clubs and restaurants [in the US], but here you go to the pub for the afternoon and you have lunch. In an American publication, that would seem like, ‘She’s hitting the bars in London!’ but it’s just a different mentality here.”

On Sparkles being the Sexiest Man In the World: “The first time Rob was the ‘sexiest man in the word’, a couple of years ago, it was the biggest joke in the world. We never stopped taking the piss and neither did he. [But] they’re all great guys and not … geez, now I sound like I’m generalizing about attractive men, but there’s something a little vain about working out every single day, whereas they’re the greatest guys and all kind of goofy. That’s why it’s so funny.”

I imagine she does like it better in England – there are so rarely new photos of her, and she probably is able to keep a lower profile, for whatever reason. I also like her admission about how she used to try so hard to be “not fake” in interviews. I would argue that she’s still that girl, though, but she is improving. Oh, and “repulsed by jocks”? Repulsed? Seriously? That’s a sweeping generalization.
