Kristen Stewart Covers W Magazine's September 2011 Issue
Kristen Stewart graces the cover of W magazine's September 2011 issue. The typically angst-ridden Kristen Stewart looks amazing transformed into a 60s bombshell in the cover shoot by Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott and styled by Edward Enninful. In the interview, Kristen talks about vampires, shooting the Breaking Dawn films and her so-called boyish quality.
On Vampires: "I f---ing love me a vampire [Laughs]. I was 17 when I read Twilight, and at the time it was so perfect for me. The script was about young kids who think they can handle stuff that they just can’t. And they’re going to do it anyway. Because, why not? Just torture yourself. I relate to that. Vampires are a little dangerous—and we girls like to test ourselves."
On Her Tomboy Quality: "I have brothers, and that so-called boyish quality was something that I was deathly self-conscious about when I was younger. I was, like, No, I’m a girl. Actually, I'm still embarrassed to say that."
On Shooting the Breaking Dawn Wedding Scene: "Awesome. This was my first wedding. It was insane. And odd. The wedding dress experience was a huge deal. I tried on one version of the dress, and it was like tweak and tweak and alter and tweak and change, and then it's done. BFD dress. Huge deal."
On Saying Goodbye to Bella: "I'd been anticipating that end-of-Bella moment. I was going, Oh, my God-I wonder how I’m going to feel. And the last scene of the shoot was at the wedding. Every single character was there on set. At the end of that day, I was kind of whacked. And so I never really had that moment then. Instead, it happened later. We needed to film one more sort of honeymoon scene and we went to the Virgin Islands. After that scene, my true final scene, I felt like I could shoot up into the night sky and every pore of my body would shoot light. I felt lighter than I’ve ever felt in my life."
