Kristen Stewart's Roundtable Interview
Kristen's Roundtable Interview
LOS ANGELES, Jan 17 (Reuters) - Kristen Stewart strides into the room in a power pantsuit and high-heeled pumps.
Within minutes, the actress kicks off her heels and sits cross-legged on her chair, getting comfortable to talk about the good moment in her career, a very different time from her blockbuster "Twilight" years.
Stewart has earned acclaim for her supporting roles in two art-house films: as the daughter of a woman (Julianne Moore) suffering from early onset Alzheimer's in "Still Alice," opening in Los Angeles and New York this weekend; and the assistant to an aging movie star (Juliette Binoche) in "Clouds of Sils Maria," a Cannes Film Festival favorite out in U.S. theaters this spring.
"I am thrilled. I love movies. I don't have those nagging, regretful feelings about either of them," Stewart said.
"It is a miracle," she added. "Jesus, when the stars align and you are allowed to feel that way, it is why movies are made. It is why they affect people."
Critics have taken note of what the former child actress and teen phenomenon is showing the world at 24 years of age. Variety's Peter Debruge called her "the most compellingly watchable American actress of her generation" and A.O. Scott at the New York Times said her more recent roles "should help re-establish her as an insightful and unpredictable talent."
Stewart has known Moore since she was 12 and took on "Still Alice" because she knew Moore would deliver on the difficult role. As it happens, Moore is now the overwhelming favorite to win the best actress Oscar this year for her role as Alice.
"Her capability is astounding and motivating as all hell," said Stewart. "I get on a set with her - and I have been acting since I was 9 - whoa, I am not there yet. I am striving; I am trying."
Stewart's Lydia is the untethered daughter who comes home to care for her mother, who rapidly loses her faculties at the age of 50.
"The movie is supposed to show how you deal with what you still have and you focus on what you retain rather than what you have lost," said Stewart.
Raised in Los Angeles by parents who work in film and television, Stewart "idolizes this industry" and would love to do big franchise movies again and even be a Marvel superhero.
Looking back at her years as Bella, the lovestruck teenager entangled in a forbidden romance with a vampire in the "Twilight" movies, Stewart is nostalgic.
"I felt into it. I loved it," she said, adding, "I got into that for absolutely the right reasons. There was never any regret."
People in the industry have pushed her to go find stories she wants to do and start a production company to have more power over her roles. But she's not ready for that yet.
"I like being hired," she said. "I like the feeling of having no control over something."

Kristen Stewarts Interview with ELLE
• ELLE: Somewhere along her up-up-and-away path to stardom, Kristen Stewart acquired a certain blogosphere rep for being aloof, sullen, and allergic to smiley faces. None of that's actually true, but listen: If you like your K-Stew with a dash of sulky self-possession, you'll want to see Still Alice. The emotional A-bomb of a film stars Julianne Moore as an academic seized by early onset Alzheimer's disease, and Stewart as her middle child, a moody, struggling actress flanked by two straight-A siblings. (Kate Bosworth plays the eldest, a lawyer, and Hunter Parrish is the youngest, a med school student.) In the film—which just nabbed a Golden Globe for Moore's outstanding performance—Stewart is by turns selfless and bratty, fiercely stubborn and sweetly insecure. By the end of the movie, you'll have loved her, hated her, wept with her…and probably obsessed about her perfect mess of hair, too.
But if you'd like to meet the real Stewart—or at least, a small but candid piece of her—scroll down. We sat with the Twilight mega-star in Manhattan's Crosby Street Hotel to talk about Oscars, liars, and how to not pose for photos.

Kristen Stewart & Julianne Moore... Portraits & Interview for USA Today
Photographed by Dan MacMedan & interviewed by Andrea Mandell, on December 7 at the Los Angeles 'Still Alice' press junket
• USA Today: LOS ANGELES — Good luck keeping it together during a scene in Still Alicein which Julianne Moore, playing a woman diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's, delivers a wrenching speech on the art of losing.
"I find myself learning the art of losing every day," her character begins, invoking poet Elizabeth Bishop and speaking to an audience of patients and doctors. "Losing my bearings, losing objects, losing sleep, but mostly, losing memories. … Who can take us seriously when we are so far from who we once were?"
Moore first shot that scene for the film (opening wider on Friday) alone in a large soundstage, with just a curtain separating her from the crew. "There was a big stage behind me and there was a curtain. And we did I don't know how many takes and they came out and they were all crying." She laughs. "I was so happy."
Written and directed by Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland, the married filmmakers crafted Still Alice in their own image: Glatzer was diagnosed with ALS in the past year. Instead of retiring, they chose Alice.
"Here was this couple who had been together for 18 years and making a beautiful movie about what it means to be alive," says Moore. "They're working with people they want to work with. It's a really beautiful thing. It does help you put everything in the right spot."
Still Alice premiered at the Toronto Film Festival in September and was immediately snapped up by distributors, who set the film on a fast track for release and into the Oscars race. It's a breathless pace for a film shot last March over just 23 days.
"I was doing Mockingjay, so Lionsgate very nicely gave me the month off to do the movie," says Moore, 54. "It was just an in-and-out kind of thing. It was fast."
Fast, and emotional. Still Alice, based on the novel by Lisa Genova, chronicles the story of Alice Howland, a Columbia professor of linguistics and wife and mother of three who learns suddenly she has early-onset Alzheimer's.
It's a tale of caretakers, too. When Alice's husband, John (Alec Baldwin), ultimately bails, it's her aspiring actress daughter Lydia (Kristen Stewart) who moves from Los Angeles to New York to become her mother's primary source of comfort as she slips away.
With all she was exposed to with Still Alice, "now I get worried," says Stewart, 24. "My dad the other day couldn't think of a word, and it was something really simple, and I was like, that's weird. You should know that word!"
Moore dived into the role, visiting long-term care facilities, speaking to heads of Alzheimer's associations, researchers, patients and caretakers. She stresses that nothing Alice does on screen is made up; everything, from her movements to her speech patterns, was observed by Moore firsthand.
"I had that (cognitive) test administered by a neuropsychiatrist, which is really interesting and really extensive,'' Moore says. "You think, 'Oh this test is not going to make me anxious.' But man!: 'List 35 words, then repeat the words.' And then they'll give you another list. 'Now repeat the first list.' "
Stewart compares her co-star to "a surgeon, literally. I aspire to that," says Stewart. "I want to be able to be in control and lose myself at the same time. She's so smart."
Moore, who picked up a best-actress Golden Globe on Sunday, is widely expected to earn her fifth Oscar nomination on Thursday.
"I think many people would be surprised to hear that she's never won," says Fandango.com's Oscarologist Dave Karger, though she has received nods for Boogie Nights, The End of the Affair, Far From Heavenand The Hours. "But that should change next month since she is the clear front-runner to win best actress this year."
Glamorous red carpets and gold statues aside, for Moore and Stewart, Still Alice remains a constant reminder.
"I texted my mom on the way over here," says Stewart. "I literally just said, 'Um, incoming, package of love in the form of a text message, completely random but I love you, dude.' " Mom's reply? " 'Wow. That was really well-timed.'"
Moore nods. "I came home thinking, my God, what a lucky woman I am, what a great husband I have, what beautiful children I have. I value them, I cherish them. That's all this movie is about."
• USA Today: LOS ANGELES — Sit down with them, and you'll immediately notice that Julianne Moore and Kristen Stewart are ridiculously tight.
Start with the fact that "we're about the same size," estimate Moore. They've both starred in the two biggest teen franchises of our time (Stewart in Twilight and Moore in The Hunger Games).
But the bond that glues the mother-daughter pair from Still Alice started more than a decade ago.
At age 14, Stewart starred in 2004's Catch That Kid(about three kids who rob a bank) directed by Bart Freundlich, Moore's husband. "I remember when he first cast her he said, 'this girl is extraordinary,' " says Moore, 54.
Fast-forward 10 years. "Honestly, I've been dying to work with her since I've been an actor," says Stewart, now curling up next to Moore on a couch. "Even if she was a total (jerk), I really would still want to work with her," she emphasizes, as Moore laughs. "We just never stopped talking."
In Still Alice (opening wider on Friday), Moore plays Alice Howland, an accomplished professor of linguistics whose memory begins to ebb after a diagnosis of early-onset Alzheimer's. Stewart appears as her daughter Lydia, an aspiring actress who rises above her more traditionally successful siblings to become her mother's chief caretaker.
Stewart has been branching out into art-house films since graduating from Twilight. She recalls a moving experience years ago with a woman who was in a severe state of dementia. "If I walked out of the room for five minutes and came back she wouldn't remember I was there," says the actress. "But I saw her revel in the moments that we shared. And I saw the recognition that she was going to lose those moments momentarily."
Moore emphasizes that the lasting message of Still Alice is that the person struggling with the disease "is still there. And that's what's most important. There's this notion that somehow a personality or a person is obliterated by this disease, but the person is there … that's why it's called Still Alice."
Moore's deft handling of Alzheimer's acute and subtle effects have left a trail of critical cheers in the film's wake. She's "as close to a sure-bet shoo-in as you can get at the Oscars," says GoldDerby.com awards site founder Tom O'Neil, who says no one rivals her in the odds to win. "She's beloved by the Academy, and ridiculously overdue to win."
And guess who has signed on to be Moore's one-woman promotional machine?
"All I want to be is: 'Yeah, Julianne Moore! She did that! Let me tell you how good she is'" says Stewart, jumping off the couch and miming walking the streets with a megaphone. "I'm not even working. I just finished everything. I am totally game."
