As CB talked about yesterday, Kristen Stewart’s full GQ UK interview has come out. Last week, I had the earliest excerpts here and here (as well as the photo shoot), but what got the most attention was Kristen’s admission that ALL of her teachers failed her. Would you like some more excerpts from the GQ piece? Sure, why not. You can read the full thing here, and here are a few more excerpts:

On Breaking Dawn: “Yes, we’re finished. Filmed every scene… It’s so rare in a career to feel that a chapter is closing but there’s something final about this. No more epic, iconic scnenes…I was nervous for the wedding scene. When I looked at the set, with the pews and the lights, and I could see everyone was there in all their outfits, I cried. God, that f***ing dress! I was stuck in that thing for a week; I could hardly move. But it felt incredibly ceremonial. It felt like a real wedding.”

Her bodyguard: “The big jump for me, I guess, was having security. And I mean, going everywhere with you. Just a big guy standing next to me the whole time. JB is his name — that’s my guy. And he would kill me for saying this, but even he has a goddamn fan site. All these girls have identified him and he’s now known as ‘HBG’ — Hottie Bodyguard.”

On the craziness surrounding Twilight: “Sure. I mean, people are crazy. Everyone does what they have to do to protect themselves, but it would be fake for me to sit here and say people are not crazy. I’m sure lots of people shy away from this question as they want to make sure they look 100 per cent appreciative all the time and that everything is the most amazing thing always… But at the end of the line, people are f***ing crazy! I would have been very happy just working from job to job, paying my rent one movie at a time. I never wanted to be this famous. I never imagined this life for myself.”

“Her first proper role”: It was in the independent film The Safety Of Objects, originally an AM Homes book about dysfunction and turmoil in small-town America. Kristen played the tomboy daughter of a troubled single mother (Patricia Clarkson). “I got Safety… towards the end of that period where I thought I should keep acting. As a little kid, you audition for so many f***ing goddamn embarrassing parts — and my words would have been pretty much the same at that age too…”

On her expletive-ridden language: “I would be like, ‘No. Way.’ Which is why I never got offered very many of those roles. I would just go though the motions. Even while starting out I took things very seriously; I wasn’t the sort of kid that would do a doll commercial or do a series for Nickelodeon. They asked me to do silly things, and I wasn’t a silly kid.”

She‘s always been this hardcore: “It’s funny. I picked an old backpack out of the closet the other day, one I used to wear all the time as a teenager. It’s covered with anarchy signs, all these quotes and these metal studs. I was like, ‘Wow, you must have really liked how that looked!’ Despite what people think, I was such a rule follower at school. I loved the whole slacker look, like, ‘Hey, I don’t care, whatever,’ but if I didn’t turn my homework in, I would panic.”

On acting: “I don’t want to discredit people’s individuality, bit I think people are pretty much the same. People are very similar. If you have a good enough imagination then you can feel things that you personally have never done before. That’s acting.”

On pretensions: “I think when I was younger, I was trying very hard to sound unpretentious. At that age, I was so bitterly self-conscious, and so desperate not to sound like a total douche. I don’t feel like that at all now. I think it was something I heard my parents say.” Kristen’s parents work in the film industry, as crew members, solid blue-collar liberals, behind the camera. “My folks have always given me hell for how easy I have it,” Kristen admits. “My dad would say stuff like, ‘Oh, just go and sit in your trailer, practise your lines, and go lie for a living.’ It was something I said as a kid. Don’t worry, I have a much more pretentious view of acting nowadays.”

On working out: “I’ve never worked out before. Now I’m only allowed to eat stuff out of a box. It works. Also, I feel more energised and stronger. It took me a long time to realise that I was a girl as a teenager. At that point I never really believed it. I looked like a boy for a long time. Now, finally, I feel like a woman.”

I’ll say what I always say about Kristen: it’s takes a lot of thought and a lot of effort to be that self-aware, neurotic and “uncomfortable”. I think it’s just an act, her public persona, but feel free to disagree. In addition to those additional GQ excerpts, there’s also this expletive-ridden piece too:

You know this character so well, what’s it like to take her through this huge change when she becomes a vampire herself?
Kristen: It felt good. It was really weird. It was such a long process of the two movies being shot at the same time as if they’re one. You shoot, obviously, out of order and you keep going back and forth between pregnant, human and dead vampire Bella. There’s so many different versions of Bella in this, it’s insane. It was a strange experience walking on set the first time I played a scene as a vampire because I’d watched everyone around me doing it all the time. I sound so lame, but vampire Bella really is my favorite character—she’s very representative of a matriarch. She’s very intuitive on almost a psychic level and no one ever acknowledges it, which is interesting. Maybe that says something about Stephenie that she doesn’t get respect for all of her f–king amazing qualities. And that’s also one of the things that makes her appealing to me, so that’s not a strike at it—that’s something that I like about it. And I think it’s nice to see her finally get what she wants. That’s probably the best thing, even if it sounds simple and indulgent, which is why the f–king thing is criticized all the time. It’s nice to see people be happy. And she really—if I’ve played it right—is born to be where she is.

You’re shooting Snow White and the Huntsman right now which imagines Snow White as this warrior princess. What’s her fighting style like?
Kristen: Not to trivialize it at all, but it’s hard to play an action hero who is also the most compassionate person on earth. You can’t hate. You epitomize bleeding hearts, so how the f–k do you do an action movie like that? She is sort of the last shred of hope for her land. She has this ethereal, spiritual connection to her people—she really feels things-and so it’s like we don’t really feel empathy. I’ve had some f–king eye-opening experiences on this movie. I think that to truly care for something isn’t just putting yourself in that situation aesthetically and then going, “Oh my god, I feel so bad for them.” It’s truly not thinking of yourself at all. The way that you fight is that you must take out anything that hurt your people. Basically, I’m fighting evil—I’m fighting the most evil motherf–kers-and it’s fine that they’re being killed. It’s anguish. It’s literally f–king anguish. She takes absolutely no pleasure in ever hurting anything. I’m exhausted right now and I was thinking, “The fight stuff is coming up, maybe that won’t be so bad.” And then I realized that they’re probably going to be my most emotional scenes because I’m killing people and I’m Snow White. It’s a really f–king cool way to approach a movie where so many people die. Not that I’m criticizing violent movies—I love them, generally—but it is nice to do it this way.

I was feeling nothing but disgust at the idea of Kristen as a “warrior princess” version of Snow White, but then I saw those images from the other Snow White, the one with Unibrow McBusted and Julia Roberts. Now I’m kind of looking forward to Kristen’s version. And just a word about Kristen’s language… look, I cuss like a sailor too, but once again, Kristen’s “blue language” seems like a put-on. Like she’s doing it for a more “hardcore” effect, like a little girl who just learned those words and now thinks she’s all hip.
