Kristen Stewart Covers W’s Best Performances Issue

Kristen Stewart has landed one of the covers of W Magazine’s “Best Performances” issue. The actress was asked to be on the cover for her performance as Princess Diana in the film, Spender. Highlights from her interview are below.

On whether or not she knew at a young age that she wanted to act: “When I made my first film, The Safety of Objects, I was like, ‘This is it. This is the feeling.’ I’ve been chasing that ever since. It’s that sense of creating something together with others. It was exciting to see how many versions of myself I could find.”

On ever being starstruck: “Yeah. I saw Neve Campbell in a restaurant the other day, and I looked over my shoulder and did this thing that I hate when people do [it] to me, where they look and then snap back and pretend they didn’t see or something. I’m like, ‘Just come say hi.’ And then my friend was like, ‘You should just go say hi.’ I was like, ‘No way.’ And then she invited us to sit down and chat for a minute. I was like, ‘Man, I need to go see Scream [Five].’ I love that series so much. But it’s funny who actually starstrikes you. It’s never who you expect. It’s a physical thing—maybe you love a musician, maybe you love an actor so much, but you see them and you’re like, ‘Yeah, cool. That’s them. They’re a person.’ There are some people that just get in there. Physically. And then your body goes, ahh.”

On her go-to karaoke song: “I think it’s nice when people really go for it. I love when people strike that balance of performing and leaning into the silliness of karaoke but not taking their minute to let everyone know they’re actually a great singer. That makes me cringe. I haven’t found my balance yet. I usually just scream Blink-182, because that’s my safe place.”
