来自两家访谈。第一家是 Metro Toronto Q: Given how Dean (played by Garrett Hedlund) treats the women in his life, the story could seem a little unfair for its female characters. Did you ever get the sense that they maybe get short shrift? K: That was not an impression that I got when I was younger. You feel for certain losses and certain strife that people have to go through in the book, but at the same time I never felt like there was an injustice because people — women as well — had put themselves in that position. They took just as much as they gave. Especially considering that they’re not the main characters — they’re semi on the periphery, and you’re not completely with them, you’re not inside their heads, you’re not feeling what they’re feeling. But from an outsider’s perspective, I just think that that’s a fairly misogynistic way to look at it. It’s like a sweet thing — especially a lot of guys say like, “Oh, I just don’t think they’re treated well.” Yeah, but they could take it, and that’s why they were there. Q: This role required you to expose a lot of yourself, both emotionally and physically. How much was that a concern? K: I want to get as close to the experiences as I possibly can. I don’t want to fake anything, and I felt so responsible to [the characters]. Q: What about the pressure of taking on such a famous book and character (Mary Lou)? K: It’s a self-imposed pressure. Everyone wants you to do all of these characters justice, especially people that really, really loved the book and people that have known them over the years. Getting to know the real people, hanging out with her daughter and listening to hours and hours of tapes, it adds pressure but at the same time it makes it OK to be there. So every second that I went, “Oh, I’m feeling a little nervous” or something, there was absolutely no reason to be because everything that we’re doing is coming from the right place, and that’s ultimately all you can be responsible for. Anything past that, you’re just being vain. We were put in the perfect position to completely lose our minds. And so how can you get nervous about that? You’re not supposed to have the control, so f—ing relax and stop taking yourself so seriously. Do you know what I mean? If you can do that, then you’ll be doing it justice. We picked a few questions posed to Kristen Stewart from fans on Twitter. @PattinsonStew and @teenstripper were lucky enough to get theirs answered. Q: Why do you think ‘On The Road’ is more relevant now than back in the 50s? [@PattinsonStew] K: I don’t know if it is more relevant. I don’t think it’s ever been irrelevant. I think that’s why people have been wanting to make a movie of it for decades. I think it’s maybe interesting that it happened now because people won’t necessarily focus entirely on the fact that they’re doing drugs and having sex because it’s not as shocking to see, necessarily. Maybe then it took a special kind of person to really feel the spirit and the feelings behind all of the things that may have hidden it for other people. And now it’s just not as veiled. Now you can actually appreciate it for what it is. Q: Why does Barack Obama follow a Kristen Stewart appreciation account? [@teenstripper] K: I didn’t know that. That’s insane. That’s crazy. (laughs)
第二篇访谈 The Globe & Mail “I signed a copy of East of Eden last night,” says Kristen Stewart. “I was like, what the …” You’d have to see her to know she doesn’t believe this herself. There’s the ironic emphasis on Eden. There’s her self-deprecating smile gone awry. There is, in every Stewart interview, a certain undisguised incredulity at the people who’ve made her famous. In 10 minutes she tells you nothing about herself, but in the inflection of 10 words she says everything. This TIFF marks Stewart’s first public appearance since her first public scandal – and even more public apology. As you can’t help knowing, she was photographed kissing her Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders (a married man) two months ago. Her boyfriend, Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson, was not in the picture. Within hours of Us Weekly’s publishing this frankly boring evidence, the girl who’d never said she was in love had to apologize in front of everybody. It was a sorry sight, for sure. But on the red carpet for On The Road, a special presentation at TIFF, her fans had either forgiven or were smart enough not to care. She isn’t lying about Steinbeck, who is, by the way, her “favourite favourite author.” From the other side of the handrail, I watched her graffiti a fan’s brand-new paperback. Her right stiletto trembled more than her left. Today, tucked into the Intercontinental Hotel for a round of tape-recorded torture, Stewart is wearing flats. She sits cross-legged and impatient, like a kid on a too-short chair. After a few minutes I point into her lap and she thinks I’m complimenting the flats, which are very faux-punk pirate. No, I’m pointing to the splint on her middle finger. She laughs, then mimics herself: “Aren’t my shoes great?” Stewart is so private that when I ask what happened, she says only that she broke her finger (duh). And in person she is chill but so fierce-looking and wounded, like one of those stray cats who despise your kindness, that I don’t ask again. We talk more about books. Stewart loves not just male writers, but dude writers: Charles Bukowski, Henry Miller, and Jack Kerouac, who led her to the others. It’s his original scroll of On The Road, sensorial and vital and raw, that Walter Salles ( The Motorcycle Diaries) transmogrifies into this wish-fulfilling ramble of a film. “I think if you were to watch a true depiction of the novel in every sense, if you could predict every line, it would be so not the experience of reading the book,” says Stewart, who read and fell in love with it when she was 14. “[Salles] didn’t change things just to have a beginning, a middle, and an end to satisfy people. I do really feel the same thing when you read the book: there are so many things presented to you, so many streets you could decide to walk down.” Stewart has decided to walk the freeway. Before Twilight came out, she signed to On The Road as an indie darlin’. After Twilight , jokes her co-star Garrett Hedlund, she’s the reason On The Road got green-lit. (Hedlund and Stewart are doing all their interviews together, which one imagines is more for Stewart’s sake than his.)
