‘Snow White and the Huntsman’ star Kristen Stewart has said that she isn’t a fan of ‘girl power’ films, and she prefers to take on roles that she has to work for – even if she gets hurt. Shes likes her character to be able to kick ass and be smart too, which applies to her Snow White character:
”I hate girl power movies, when the people you’re rooting for are not girls. That’s what I was attracted to.I’ve always wanted to find a role where I can challenge myself physically, I really like getting the opportunity to hurt myself for the job but what I loved was that Snow White is someone who has the gusto and kicks ass but she’s not a dude. She remains, steady. I’m not built to be physically strong, you have to outsmart someone, you have to be physically and mentally quicker, you have to have a strong heart.”
Kristen likes that her character in the new film is fearless, which is something she enjoyed about the role. She used her part in the film to push herself physically and describes it as “hard” work which explains why its normally tough guys who are given those kind of parts:
”Nothing is that simple. Every time Snow White has to do something and not be crippled by fear I’m into that, one of the things I wanted to do was see how far I could push myself. The reason they hire these big huge burly dudes to work on these movies is because it’s hard.”
