Kristen Stewart believes the entire concept of acting is quite weird because your pretending to be someone else and then a huge audience watches you which she thinks is strange. These days she really appreciates her work and what she sets out to do, and even feels she has a responsibility to do the job justice because she’s creating an art for other people to enjoy and she feels that is incredibly important to continue doing:
“It’s a pretty f–king odd thing to want to pretend to be another person, and then have a lot of other people who watch you do that. You have this experience of reading something, and if you don’t bring it to life, you’re basically deleting it. Every day of shooting you’re depriving the world of having that. The responsibility is amazing.”
Speaking on being stronger as a person these days, Kristen says that in the past she used to be shy or block people out of her life, but now she is embracing the fear that comes with being open and is even feeling more comfortable with the idea:
“I have realized that you can close yourself off to life if you put walls up, but it’s a difficult thing. You can’t see over, people can’t see in, and you also can’t see out. So I’ve gotten quite comfortable with just being unafraid. I keep saying the same thing: it’s not about being fearless but really just embracing the fears and using them.”
