K r isten Stew
ar

t
The first decade of the
21st century, which is
about to draw to a close, is in
serious danger of being
remembered as the time when
fame was measured in pokes, tweets,
and the ability to parlay a death-defying
(and sometimes not so death-defying) degree
of persona recklessness into a reality-television
deal. But just as the door was about to slam shut on
the double aughts, in walks—or, more appropriately,
saunters—Kristen Stewar

At 19, Stewart has already earned a place in the annals of

pop-culture history. This is due to her starring role in Twilight, which—in
case you’ve somehow managed to elude word of its all-encompassing death
grip on young America—is a film based on the first in a series of very popular books
about vampires, werewolves, and teenage life in the town of Forks, Washington. Stewart’s
character, Bella Swan, is a newcomer to Forks who is forced to cope with the dueling pressures
of starting life at a new school and the fact that her prospective boyfriend, the rakish Edward
Cullen (played by the rakish Robert Pattinson), is a 104-year-old undead bloodsucker.

Given Twilight’s preoccupation with the timeless themes of misunderstood youth, troubled young
love, and the intervening forces of darkness, the film’s success isn’t all that surprising. (To date, it has
grossed more than $380 million worldwide.) Nor is the fact that more Twilights are in the offing: A
second installment, New Moon, hits theaters in November, and a third, Eclipse, is due out next year.
But the growing size and complexity of the Twilight machine has had some unavoidable implications:

In the last 12 months, Stewart has become a tabloid regular and a blog-stalked cynosure. The fact that
her Twilight character is romantically linked to Pattinson’s in the film has also fueled nonstop specula-
tion that they are involved in real life. BUYING A HOUSE? and GETTING MARRIED? were just a couple of
the early autumn headlines. Between filming Twilight sequels, Stewart did a turn as Joan Jett in Floria
Sigismondi’s new rock-band biopic The Runaways; even her hair for the film—which was chopped and
dyed to mimic Jett’s late-’70s shag—inspired reams of media critique.

1. As an Australian living in the
U.S., have you spotted any
differences between Aussie and
American women?
Australian women tend to tell it
like it is—even if it's the brutal,
honest truth. I think American
women usually break it to you a
little easier. There's a softer side
to them.
2. What's one mistake you see
women making in relationships?
Trying out the "I love yous" after
a week or two [of dating]. You
have to give it time before you
start [saying that]. I like exploring
the mystery of a relationship
instead of laying it all out on the
table at the beginning.
3. Care to let us in on your most
embarrassing dating moment?
I arrived at this girl's house and
her dad answered the door. The
guy was huge—in my head, he
seemed close to seven feet tall
and 300 pounds. He looked
down at me and said, "Can I help
you?" I said, "Yeah, I'm here to
see—" and I forgot the girl's
name! I was just looking up at
him thinking, Oh, God, please
don't squash me!
