Kristen Stewart has been acting since the age of nine and was a teen herself when she starred in the <\/em>Twilight films. She\u2019s made her feature directing and writing debut with <\/em>The Chronology of Water, an adaptation of Lidia Yuknavitch\u2019s 2011 memoir. In April, Stewart tied the knot with her longtime girlfriend, screenwriter Dylan Meyer. This interview was conducted on November 2.<\/em><\/p>\n
\nWhat we create needs<\/strong> to come from the things that we want. <\/p>\nWe need to design our own desire <\/strong>instead of being told how the fuck to feel by movies that are never changing and always the same.<\/p>\nI have figuratively broken teeth<\/strong> learning that shoving into fear instead of backing away from it is key. I try to let this seep into how I spend literally all my time.<\/p>\n\nI found that battle cry within myself,<\/strong> knowing that it is an echo of centuries and centuries of women that have needed to pick each other up.<\/p>\nA real core-base activation piece for me<\/strong> was reading The Chronology of Water<\/em> when I was a lot younger, in a time where I was in service of other people\u2019s stories as an actor. Even though I\u2019ve been lucky enough to make work that feels like it has a sense of freedom, I\u2019ve worked in an industry for a long time that definitely does not uplift.<\/p>\nThere are reasons why people<\/strong> have a hard time articulating certain things. There\u2019s no room for it, or it\u2019s not encouraged, or it\u2019s steeped in shame or embarrassment. It\u2019s tough to be anyone trying to find their own voice.<\/p>\nThose screaming voices <\/strong>that you keep blocked up in your body feel a lot better when they come out. <\/p>\nI\u2019m really ruminating on <\/strong>system breakage lately. My own<\/em> systems. All that fun stuff that comes with seeing reality breaking all around us. You realize it\u2019s up for grabs. <\/p>\n\u201cNo passion is darkness.\u201d<\/strong> That\u2019s what Pablo Larra\u00edn said. He directed me in Spencer<\/em> and helped me blast through some fear on the set of Chronology.<\/em> He helped me make a disruptive but ultimately lifesaving decision. <\/p>\n\u201cMaking a movie is an act of love\u201d<\/strong> is another thing he told me. <\/p>\nAll memories are so physical.<\/strong> It\u2019s kind of cool, and it\u2019s a bit daunting to know that the things that happen to you will never really be processed out of your body. They get to live in you.<\/p>\nI can roll with the punches<\/strong> but also not be somebody who casually lets people that I love and care about off the hook. <\/p>\nWhat have I learned from married life?<\/strong> Power in numbers.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s so nice to have a family. <\/strong>It\u2019s so nice to not be an unmoored individual. Dylan came into my life and I immediately was like, \u201cIt\u2019s so important to handpick and curate the people that surround you.\u201d Dylan just does not suffer fools. I may not always seem like it, but I really am kind of a \u201cnice guy.\u201d<\/p>\nIt\u2019s just bolstering to be<\/strong> with someone that reminds you that your life is in your hands. <\/p>\nWhat makes someone attractive?<\/strong> Hunger. And I mean that in every way. When someone wants a lot. Openly. It also means being nice,<\/em> because you just get more with real honey. <\/p>\nMean people suck. <\/strong>I can smell it. So gross.<\/p>\nA big thing that makes me happy<\/strong> is reading out loud with my wife and pets. East of Eden, Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre, The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter. <\/em>To share them outside of yourself is salve. <\/p>\nA small thing that makes me happy <\/strong>is waking up before anyone and having an hour or two. I am so with<\/em> people all the time. I\u2019m an Aries, so it\u2019s rare that I\u2019m not in a group. I like to steal time and remind myself to be alone.<\/p>\nI care about getting better at playing golf.<\/strong> But that is a lifelong and kind of yo-yo experience. Sometimes I\u2019m absolutely incredible, and other times it\u2019s like I\u2019ve never hit a ball in my life.<\/p>\nParty tricks: I can juggle.<\/strong> I can blow a really good smoke ring. I can roll a really mean joint\u2014fast.<\/p>\nThere is a sort of oppressive <\/strong>and stifling experience that women have at the energetic hands of a lot of different men. But it is absolutely not<\/em> everyone.<\/p>\nI have one biological brother,<\/strong> but I\u2019ve grown up with just a slew of lovely and sweet but bamboozling young men. I will always be able to laugh at the kind of enraging and infuriating unawareness that boys are all about. <\/p>\nI feel my absolute best <\/strong>around guys that I could say anything to. I want to be homies; I want to be friends. It\u2019s really nice when you\u2019re around someone that you can completely relax with, because you know that you can\u2019t hurt them with your differences. <\/p>\nI just want everyone <\/strong>to be as close as they possibly can.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.esquire.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kristen Stewart has been acting since the age of nine and was a teen herself when she starred in the Twilight films.
