Kristen Stewart ‘Adjusting’ to Life in the Public Eye
Published at
John Paul Filo/CBS(NEW YORK) — Kristen Stewart’s had to deal with tabloid journalists and frequent negative comments on social media, but she thinks it’s just an inevitable part of being a celebrity.
“It has taken serious adjusting time. There’s just nothing that I can really do about that,” the Twilight star tells The Hollywood Reporter. “If you think about the source of it all, which is really the big, big, big green monster of cash, there’s just no way that that’s stopping.”
Adds Stewart, “It’s a new industry — celebrity news is a whole new form of entertainment — and it’s a huge, booming, f**king money-making industry, so why would it stop? I love what I do and it’s worth protecting. Hopefully, one day people’s priorities will shift a little bit…unfortunately, onto somebody else.”
In spite of that, the 24-year-old actress likes where she is in her career, noting her dreams have centered on work, not the reward.
“Truly, my ‘one day’ was always, ‘I’m gonna be a director! One day, I’m gonna direct movies!'” she tells the industry trade publication. “I’ve never, ever been like, ‘One day, I’m gonna win an Oscar.'”
“I’m so satisfied and happy and absolutely looking forward to what’s to come,” she continues. “I have a feeling that I’m gonna do this for a while — at least, being involved in this industry.”
Stewart will next be seen co-starring with Glenn Close in the Indie drama Anesthesia, opening nationwide April 22.
