Few American actresses and directors have been quoted as widely as Kristen Stewart (b. 1990), whose insights reach well beyond their original context. Celebrated for her subtle and naturalistic style of acting, Kristen Stewart brought that same intensity to the written and spoken word. Our collection holds 36 quotes from Kristen Stewart, each offering a different angle on Movies, Funny, Success, Age, and Home. One standout: "I think romance is anything honest. As long as it's honest, it's so disarming."

“I had to act in a school play when I was about ten years old. I really didn't want to do it. But everyone had to do it so I didn't have a choice. A talent agent came and watched it and later gave me some work. It's funny because I'd always known that I wanted a movie career. I just didn't think that I would be in the movies.”

“I'm like, bursting. I should be working. I don't want to take a break. It's funny, on set, I don't have to go to the bathroom, I don't have anything wrong, I'm perfectly fine, so through-and-through. I'm not hungry. I'm literally not even in my own body.”

— Kristen Stewart

Age

“I mean, I love L.A. - I love living here. But I wish that we could make things without the need to hit a home run every single time.

Or are you making movies to learn something?'”

— Kristen Stewart

Failure

“I think I'm a bit less inhibited, and not thinking too much before speaking. It's not about being shameful, I'm just a bit more unabashedly myself because of this thing, and it probably started at age 15. I can be around people and say what I think without fear.”

— Kristen Stewart

Age

Movies

“I don't want to discredit people's individuality, but I think people are pretty much the same. People are very similar. If you have a good enough imagination then you can feel things that you personally have never done before. That's acting.”

— Kristen Stewart

Imagination

“This weird thing happens when you're in a movie that has some level of success. People start offering you all kinds of things, and they just expect you to do them because they'll be good for your career. It's not about the project's integrity or anything like that.”

— Kristen Stewart

Success

“And I like to keep whatever is mine remaining that way. It's a funny little game to play and it's a slippery slope. I always say to myself I'm never going to give anything away because there's never any point or benefit for me.”
