Kristen Talks About The Twilight Saga & Fame

AccessHollywood
LOS ANGELES, Calif. --
Kristen Stewart loves her throngs of �Twilight� fans � but it�s the character Bella, not Kristen herself, who the legions of fans are really fawning over, at least according to the actress.

�Masses of girls identified with Bella in a really profound way, for want of a better word,� Kristen said in a new interview for the February issue of Vogue, which features her on the cover. �The connection that I�ve seen people have . . . I�ve seen it physically. It�s the characters they�re flipping for.�

Whether it�s Kristen or Bella the Twi-hards are going crazy for, it�s the 20-year-old big screen beauty who must bear the brunt of the adoration.

�There�s no way to eloquently put this,� she told the mag. �I just can�t go to the mall. It bothers me that I can�t be outside very often. And also to not ever be just �some girl� again. Just being some chick at some place, that�s gone.�

Don�t take it the wrong way. K-Stew isn�t complaining about the global superstardom which Bella has bestowed upon her. After all, it�s also brought a flood of something else � money, something which she said she doesn�t take lightly.

�It�s funny when you are endowed not only with public recognition on a [expletive] seriously vast level, but also money,� she added. �Like, fund. Anytime I hear that somebody�s really rich, the first question is �Do you do anything with it? Or do you, like, chill? You just sit on it?��

As it turns out, Kristen does have a plan for her newfound fortune (or at least, part of it) � she wants to set up a network of halfway houses to help those who are struggling get back on their feet � a cause Kristen saw first-hand while researching for a role as a runaway from a sex slave trafficking ring, according to Vogue.

�That would be amazing,� she continued. �Right now it�s the thing I feel most connected to.�

When it comes to other roles she�s had the opportunity to dive into, Kristen is hopeful her career won�t be forever pigeon-holed by her time spent as her vampire-loving big screen doppelganger.

�At this point it seems like, �We�ll see what the �Twilight� girl did. Let�s see how she�s trying to be different,�� she conceded.
