One thing that confuses me are press conferences. And really, it’s not the press conference itself, it’s the way the studios do them. We now live in the internet, Flip cam, iPhone and camcorder age where video is everywhere. Everything is filmed. So why are we still in the dinosaur tape recorder era when it comes to press conferences? This isn’t a rant, but the times are changing when it comes to bringing fans the news.
I’ve done a lot of video at press conferences before. Shit, at Comic-Con that’s practically all I did. Why video? Because the information gets to you, the reader, faster. Nothing the star says is taken out of context or misquoted when its translated to text. And besides, wouldn’t you rather see the star talk about the movie you’re paying money to watch? I know I would.

I got about the first five minutes of Kristen Stewart talking about New Moon at today’s press conference before security told me I had to stop filming. And I stopped. No questions asked. I’m not trying to piss off the studio and the reps/publicists. They’ve been awesome to Latinoreview. All I’m trying to do is promote their film the best way possible. And when it comes to Twilight, I know you fans LOVE anything you can get your hands on when it comes to Bella and Edward.

So Twilight and New Moon fans, I did my best in trying to bring you the coverage you deserve, but “the man” shut a brutha down. The clicking you hear is the lady next to me typing as Kristen is talking. Now that’s annoying.

The rest of the interview is in its exciting text format below the clip. Also, look for Robert Pattison and Taylor Lautner interviews in the coming days.

Taylor Lautner is emerging from this movie as a huge star. If you could wipe the slate clean and made a decision do you really think that she wouldn’t have gone with fine, old Jacob?

Stewart: I know, trust me. I feel you completely.

Can you talk about working with Taylor because he did an incredible job in the face of controversy going into the movie?

Stewart: I think that controversy has probably been like made bigger than it was. We needed to be sure that whoever played Jacob was going to be Jacob in ‘New Moon’. He’s such a different person. He becomes a man. There’s an entire [thing]. It’s not just a physical transformation. He really becomes an adult. I mean I always knew that Taylor could do that but we just needed to make sure because it was so important. So once he actually proved himself which wasn’t hard to do, even seeing him walk around on set was like a different experience. He’s literally become a different person. He’s just grown up. He’s so confident and the nicest guy that I’ve ever met. I know that I’m using this grammatically incorrect but he’s the funnest guy I’ve ever hung out with. So he’s great. I’m so proud of him.

These films have come out so fast, one after the other. Can you talk about the intensity of that and also if you think you’ll remember all of it in five years?

Stewart: There’s already a lot of stuff that I have to say, ‘Okay, Kristen, be here. Experience it. Make sure that this isn’t another fleeting situation that you’re going to barely remember.’ You have to force yourself to sort of be present but I feel like the fact that I have the opportunity to pick and choose moments that I want to remember and I have to focus on remembering cool moments, that only tells you that I literally have an influx of them. I’ve had the coolest two years and I’m so lucky.

What’s it like to work in Vancouver since you’ve been there for a while now? Do you have a home, favorite hang outs, what do you like to do there?

Stewart: I love Vancouver. When we’re doing the ‘Twilight’ series there I don’t get to go out as much as I’d like to. I’m also sort of a boring person. I really don’t go out to bars and stuff a whole lot unless it’s an event. It’s a beautiful place to be.

What are your favorite spots in the city?

Stewart: I just like being outside there. I don’t have favorite spots. The climate is so different from what I’m used to. I don’t really have any favorite spots. I really don’t.

Did you actually get to ride the motorcycle and if so were you into it and how do you feel about the bike?

Stewart: I’m definitely never going to be a biker. The idea of riding, I mean I’m scared of cars so the idea of riding a motorcycle is just never going to be something that I’m into. I was towed ridiculously. I was on the back of this truck and I probably looked funny doing it. Taylor rode motorcycles really well. There’s this one part that’s sort of undeniably him. He rides up and skids. I left that to him. I wasn’t about to do that. I don’t even think that they would let me necessarily. They would have more faith in Taylor to do that.

Would you ride on the back with a guy though?

Stewart: Yeah. I did that. I did that and I didn’t like it. It’s so precarious. I don’t know if you’ve been on one but it literally feels like you’re going to fly off of it. I’m not into that.

What do you find the most rewarding part of being involved in something so popular and what are some of the challenging parts of that?

Stewart: I think my favorite thing about this is the fact that I can keep it personal. It’s still something that if the franchise, if the saga didn’t become a franchise and it was literally was just a series of movies that I had done they would mean just as much to me. That’s also the best part of it, the fact that it isn’t like that, the fact that so many people are affected by it and are invested in it just as much as me if not more. Like I said about Chris, if you don’t like people and if you don’t want to make movies because you care about people then you probably are just wanting to be just rich and famous. So the fact that this is so important to so many people makes me so happy. That’s it. I think that’s it.

Having such an avid fan base where and how do you draw the line between what the public wants to know about your private life?

Stewart: Right. I don’t know. I don’t think that anyone can get a handle [on that]. It’s like as soon as I stopped trying to control everything that came out of my mouth and every picture that came out, that’s when I became so much happier and it was so much easier to deal with. It wasn’t like it was a turning point. I’ve just grown into not having to care so much and to not try to think that I’m going to be able to plan out the way that everyone perceives me. There are no false impressions. Everyone’s impression of you is going to be what it is in that isolated moment. It’s people not considering where you are in that moment when you give that impression. I’m fine with that. I’m going to own what I’m going to own and literally…I should just stop trying to control what’s coming out of my mouth. I’m always going to keep what’s important to me in mind and I completely understand considering that we’re playing characters that are so coveted by so many people so I get why they want to know more about us and they want us to be together and all of that. I just sort of have to not think about it.
