Twilight actress Kristen Stewart has opened up candidly about her thoughts on fame. She admits that despite the huge amount of success she’s already had, the fame side of her career isn’t something she enjoys. She says fame has it’s down sides and she prefers to live life normally because it keeps her feeling sane and she gets to have regular experiences because she shuns the spotlight as often as possible:
‘The spotlight is not something I get off on. You can’t let it stunt you. Though, that’s the thing. It’s a huge change that I’ve definitely noticed within myself from the beginning to the end of this – that I’m more comfortable with walls being down. Because you can actually have human experiences and not deprive yourself of a normal life. You get too caught up in what other people think of you, then who the f**k are you? You start to become a really disjointed persona and everyone’s perception is their own.”
Kristen says that you have to live your own life, and not one that others influence, because no one except for you can understand what makes you happy and fulfilled, so listening to people who don’t know what you want from life can lead to a very “awful existence”:
”If you’re considering other people’s opinions about your life, that they really know nothing about, you are going to live a very disjointed, really unsatisfying, awful existence. You should probably be a bit more concerned about how you feel about yourself. It sounds completely cliche, but it’s true, so you probably shouldn’t think about it.”
