Regarding the translation, some bits are roughly translated so it may sound weird in some places but I think you get the picture. Thanks for all helping with the translation!
page 1: She is Bella from Twilight. Kristen Stewart "My life has become a show"
page 2: enticing the vampire from twilight, Kristen Stewart has entered the world of fame without wanting. now that saga continues, we meet a girl that prefers henry miller to the red carpets of Hollywood.
Page three:
She lights up cigarettes one after the other. Her slender legs in gray skinny jeans, an oversized t-shirt, and on her feet, Converse sneakers. She�s seated, with her legs (curled under her?) on an antique armchair in a suite of the Four Seasons of Beverly Hills. Kristen Stewart, nineteen years old, is not the type to greet you with a smile. Rather, to the contrary, she offers a small scowl. Interviews are not, frankly, her cup of tea, thanks to the paparazzi who�ve turned her daily life into that of a laboratory rat in sequins. As the opening of the second film in the Twilight Saga, �New Moon,� approaches, where [Stewart] plays the role of Bella, the heroine head-over-heels and impossibly in love with Edward, a 104-year-old vampire played by Robert Pattinson, she is now, more than ever, the object of obsession amongst fans, and the tabloids. Even her parents� home (where she seeks refuge when she has nothing left in her own fridge), is under the shadow of the paparazzi lenses! Even the smallest of gestures between her and her co-star [Pattinson] are [blown disproportionately] into rumors about their real life relationship, [even gracing the cover of People magazine]. The two stars don�t travel on the same flights nor arrive together for press events, at the risk of creating riots! As a result, Kristen, a young adult* naturally more timid than extroverted, gives off an air in her own life like that of a wild cat. �I don�t live very well among this craziness. It�s absolutely crazy. I can�t even leave my hotel room,� she grumbles. No one really ever warned me that my private life would become a spectacle unto itself.�**
But she's totally aware of the Hollywood codes. Kristen Stewart grew up in Los Angeles, in the San Fernando Valley, renowned for its idleness and its handsome surfers. Ever since she was a kid, she's been immersed in the movie business, as her mother is a scriptwriter and her father, an assistant producer. At the age 5, she implores them to let her become an actress. Her parents take her at her word, and she's home-schooled from middle school, so she can live her passion to the full. It worked out pretty well for her: now 19, she has the filmography of a thirty-year-old: 23 movies in already 8 years of career! Supporting roles, certainly, but along with big names like Jodie Foster (Kristen plays her daughter in Panic Room). Their resemblance is actually obvious: the same feline air, with a slightly turned up nose and green almond-shaped eyes, same frail and androgynous body. then with Sharon Stone and Denis Quaid in Cold Creek Manor and later with Robert De Niro in What Just Happened. Above all ,in 2007, she plays a brazen hippie in the sublime "Into The Wild" directed by Sean Penn. During a few scenes shot right out it the desert, right in the middle of trailers, she even upstages Emile Hirsch, hero of this initiatory journey. "I obviously feel extremely lucky to have worked with Sean Penn. He makes you feel you're the only one to be able to pull of this part, you can't help but giving the best of yourself, she explains. He doesn't talk a lot and leaves you free. But when he talks, his beliefs are so strong they can have you thrown across the room."
How did she put on the role of Bella in Twilight? "I wasn't a fan, I hadn't read the books, she confesses, but I immediately fell in love with the character reading the script, there's something bewitching about Bella. In "New Moon", she goes through a very dark time. During the shooting in Vancouver, I withdrew into myself and molded myself into this obscure atmosphere. I would listen to "Shadoplay" by Joy Division and "Blow It All Away" by Sia over and over again. This perfectly fitted the mood Chris Weitz had imagined for the movie."
Like her cult character � the one that even her lover Edward cannot understand completely (she is the only one whom he cannot read her thoughts) -, Kristen Stewart is an introverted, who is as much unreadable as she is intellectual/cerebral. She is one of those who would play her guitar on her own during an evening in her hotel room (she just finished the shooting of a movie about rocker star Joan Jett and she interpreted all the songs by herself) or read for hours. �Outside of movies, my passion is writing. It was one of my English professors that showed me the power of words. I realized how much I took pleasure in writing. This has nothing to do with an actor�s job, where, in the contrary, the thought needs to be very clear before you start and where you don�t have the time to be philosophical! When I find a script, I scribble and leave notes/references everywhere and after that, I forget about them.� She�s also always carrying a small notebook where she writes down her thoughts, �vignettes� she calls them. Her favorite author? �Henry Miller. He is dark, tough and serious, and he speaks about himself without pretention.� Lastly, it is perhaps because she grew up in a bath of sequins that Kristen Stewart refuses its codes and culture.
Her life after �Twilight?� She hasn�t thought of it yet (3 more movies are already planned to finish the adaptation of S.M.�s novel). She said she leads her life based on feeling. At this time, she fantasizes ironically about a large scale escape: �I dream of going one day to Australia, where my mom is from. To rent a car and take the road. Over there, people don�t get bothered by the small things. There is not this absurd pressure to succeed or to forced yourself to be someone. You�re not obligated to belong to any preconceived notion/stereotype.�
