The actress adds, “I’m just a kid making movies.”
Stewart, who’s always preferred to keep her private life private, doesn’t understand why people care who she dates. “Google me; I’m not hiding. I think in three or four years, there are going to be a whole lot more people who don’t think it’s necessary to figure out if you’re gay or straight,” she says. “It’s like, just do your thing.”
The actress’ friend, Riley Keough, sums her up like this: “She just doesn’t give a f–k. She courageously exposes herself because she loves the art. And I think she understands what comes along with that.”
Keough, also an actress, thinks Stewart is a badass. “There’s not one part of that girl that’s caught up in Hollywood or cares about the opinions of others or whatever else,” she says, “and I’ve probably met three people like that in my life.”
Stewart, who has three brothers and describes herself as “one of the boys,” also discusses how the public perceives her. “It’s like I’m involved in a weekly comic book,” she says. “I have this assigned personality…which I helped create, I suppose. People stand to make a lot of money on people like me—it’s this booming industry, so why would you go and change the character that people are paying for?”
