Kristen Stewart Teen Vogue December 2008 - January 2009

Twilight star Kristen Stewart graces the covers new issue of Teen Vogue December 2008 - January 2009.

Quotes from Kristen Stewart interview:

On getting the script even though she had never even heard of the books:

“ I guess I was just living under rocks and mountains. And though we were warned, I figured it would be a pretty exclusive fan base. I thought we were making a cult movie; I had no idea it was going to be this, like, phenomenon.”

On her character Bella Swan, a recently relocated high school junior who falls in love with a vampire named Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson):

“Bella’s a very relatable girl. She inhabits qualities that most girls have, even if it’s not on the surface… What I love about the story and what puts it on a different level is that it’s ‘chemical’…there’s nobody else for either of them. Period.” (She did, on occasion, draw from her own romantic life – she’s been with boyfriend Michael Angarano “forever” as she puts it.)

On the fashion world:

“If I’m just chilling out, then people can see me any which way, but it’s different when you’re putting yourself together to do something professionally. You’re under a lot of scrutiny. It’s a bizarre thing, to me, to consider that what I wear or what I do with my hair, can affect my career… I’m not the type of person who has a million things in my closet to put together, so I’ve begun to work with a stylist and we’ve started to figure out what I like. Simple, classically pretty things; I love Chanel.”

On Bella and Edward, played by Robert Pattinson, share a very intense love in his film. How was it working with Robert?

“Well, I basically cast him. We did one day of auditions and a bunch of guys came in. Catherine Hardwicke, the director, afterwards was like, “What do you think? This is such a hard choice.” I was like, “Are you kidding me!? Its such an obvious choice!” It couldn’t have been better. It was sort of perfect.”

What did you do to prepare for your role?

“We were always trying to figure out what it should feel like when Edward touched me, how far away he would have to be until he could smell me, things like that.”

The Dec 08/Jan 09 issue of Teen Vogue hits stands November 18. Twilight opens November 21.
