KRISTEN STEWART, JULIETTE BINOCHE ATTEND NYFF PREMIERE OF 'CLOUDS OF SILS MARIA'

Kristen Stewart sparkled on the red carpet Wednesday (8 OCTOBER) for the New York Film Festival premiere of 'Clouds of Sils Maria.'

She stars alongside Juliette Binoche.

Directed by French director Olivier Assayas, the film tells of an aging actress played by Binoche asked to star in a revival of a play she did earlier in her career. But now she plays an older character in the story, while a younger actress plays her original role.

Stewart, known for starring as Bella in the "Twilight" film series stars as the younger actress in the film.

The idea of shooting a film outside of the country with a French director and actor was certainly out of Stewart's comfort zone, but she loved the experience.

"Yeah, I like flying by the seat of my pants rather than packaging and delivering story to sell to people," Stewart said.

The 24-year old actress says she trusted director Olivier Assayas.

"I've always really gravitated toward filmmakers that somewhat, even if they're not European, kind of represent something that's a little bit more common when you go over there to make a movie. There is something languid and fluid and natural and brave about it without nailing down exactly what you're gonna do you jump in and know that the experience is what you want and the result is gonna be whatever it's gonna be. So it's a huge risk to take," Stewart said.

Critics have heralded Stewart's performance in the film.

When asked how it felt to have some positive acclaim again, the actress simply responded: "Of course, yeah."

Assayas wasn't sure how Stewart was going to work out, but once they started shooting, he was sure he made the right choice.

"It's so incredibly courageous of her. She's the one who's making the big step. I write the spot, which is really tailored for her in many ways, so I ask her to be part of my film," Assayas said.

The film is currently on the festival circuit and will be released in the United States sometime in 2015.

KRISTEN STEWART HAS THREE FILMS AT NEW YORK FILM FESTIVAL; ADMITS SHE'S A WORKAHOLIC

Kristen Stewart admits she's a workaholic after bringing three films to the New York Film Festival.

"Oh yeah, I'm totally addicted man," said the actress from the red carpet Wednesday (5 OCT. 2016).

"Like I'm a crazy, compulsive, like I get super obsessed with stuff, you know, which is to a fault but it's served me well."

Stewart was the guest of honor at a dinner thrown by the Lincoln Center Film Society.

Before going inside, she also commented on her intensity, the type of director she hopes to become and reinventing herself after "Twilight."

For the latter, she claims it wasn't intentional.

"Oh, honestly, it was not like a tactical approach," said Stewart.

"I've really always known that if I have a certain dynamic with someone or a conversation, it's either leading to productivity or not. I definitely thank you for that question because it implies that I've like by chance seemingly designed a career I totally got lucky to have."

Since the "Twilight" franchise, the actress has quietly amassed an impressive body of work, including a trio of very different films at this year's festival.

She already premiered "Certain Women," directed by Kelly Reichardt, earlier this week. The festival will screen the upcoming "Personal Shopper." And Stewart will walk the red carpet again for Ang Lee's "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk" next week.

Besides acting, Stewart aspires to become a director too.

Working with Lee and Reichardt gave her unique perspective, especially since the two take a completely different approach to directing a film.

"It's weird. I think I fall somewhere in between wanting to be really surgical and technical and in control of absolutely everything but at the same time I'm wanting to see something live and breathe and I think they both do that completely differently, but they both accomplish the same thing," Stewart said.

"I think they are both absolute geniuses when it comes to being composed and when it comes to being aware of something that we're not aware of. They see the invisible and they capture it and that's what I would like to do while making movies."

Reichardt shot "Certain Women" on 16mm film, working around the limitations of that to create a visually poetic story surrounding three women whose lives intersect in Montana.

Ang Lee worked the opposite end of the field, shooting war drama, "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk," using high-frame rate digital capture.

Stewart admits she leans toward Reichardt's style, suggesting it was motivational, making her want to start directing right away.

"Seeing Kelly steel train her way through a movie that seems so natural but is so deliberate, I love her. So yeah, it makes me want to work now, like start working," Stewart said.

"Certain Women" will be at select U.S. theaters from 14 October 2016, while "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk" kicks off on November 11.

"Personal Shopper" isn't in theaters until next year.

They see the invisible and they capture it and that's what I would like to do while making movies. And also I think rather than having a bunch of actors in the room and we kind of find an interesting subject and sort of explore it in improv and pull it together - that's the stuff I like to act in, but seeing Kelly steel train her way through a movie that seems so natural but is so deliberate, she's just like, to me, (raises her hand up high), I love her. So yeah, it makes me want to work now, like start working, yeah."

STEWART TAKES KEROUAC FLCIK 'ON THE ROAD' TO NEW YORK CITY

Kristen Stewart says she's not quite sure what her post-"Twilight" career will look like, but she'll continue to follow her gut.

"I never really know what I want to do until it's sort of in my lap," said Stewart as she and the cast of "On the Road" premiered the Jack Kerouac adaptation in New York Thursday (13 DEC 2012).

"I'm not the type of person who can sit and sort of plan things. It takes a really particular thing to do a movie. It takes that 'it,' it takes that thing that is really hard to surprise and it's sort of a compulsion if I feel like I need to do something."

The 22-year-old actress admitted she did not know who designed her sliver, partially sheer mini dress, but said she is embracing being known as a fashionista.

"I do like what I wear and I get the opportunity to wear some pretty crazy stuff and I have fun with that," she explained.

In July Stewart publicly apologized for having a tryst with the married director of her last film, "Snow White and the Huntsman." Despite a rocky year, the actress said she still has "a lot" to be thankful for.

Walter Salles ("Central Station," "The Motorcycle Diaries") spent years developing "On The Road," which also stars Garrett Hedlund as beat generation free spirit Dean Moriarty, inspired by Kerouac's friend Neal Cassady, and Sam Riley as the author's alter-ego, Sal Paradise.

"I didn't really come with any preconceptions. I'd never seen any of the 'Twilight' movies," said Riley of Stewart.

"She explained the plot to me. It sounds pretty far out but she's a great, great girl and a real pro."

Up next Riley stars opposite Angelina Jolie in "Maleficent."

"That was incredible working with Angelina and doing something a bit more light-hearted. I normally play chain-smoking, broody types so it was fun," he said.

Riley also met Jolie's kids on set as Vivienne, Zahara and Pax nabbed roles in the film about the Disney villain from "Sleeping Beauty."

"They were scared of me because I had a very bizarre costume," recalled the actor.

"They all wanted to meet me and then when they actually saw me they all ran away."

In "On The Road" Stewart plays Dean's young girlfriend, Marylou, who joins him and Sal on some of their crazed cross-country adventures.

Kirsten Dunst, who appears in just four scenes as Dean's wife, Camille, said she had a unique experience joining the cast after most of the movie was finished.

"It's hard for me because I started work six months into shooting," she said.

"They were done. They were basically ending. The day I landed they had a wrap party in Montreal so I was the new kid in school and I was nervous because I respected everyone I was working with and I love (Director) Walter (Salles) and I wanted it to be so good and it's difficult when you haven't had the time to break into the film like everyone else. I hadn't experienced that in a while."

KRISTEN STEWART PREMIERES MOVIE ABOUT GITMO, TALKS 'TWILIGHT' MINI-MOVIES

Kristen Stewart is a far cry from damsel in distress, Bella Swan, of the "Twilight" movies in her new film "Camp X-Ray."

The actress stars as Amy Cole, a guard stationed at Guantanamo Bay, the U.S. prison in Cuba detaining terrorist suspects.

In the film Stewart takes an elbow to the face, is spit on and is splattered with feces.

But she learns such treatment is nothing compared to the harsh reality of the detainees, namely innocent prisoner Ali Amir, played by Peyman Moaadi, who she befriends.

At a screening of the film Monday (6 OCT. 2014) in New York, Stewart said "they bring each other out of whatever armored shell they've got going on and... I feel like that's the way life is. The most that's really communicated between people is usually not with words."

She went on to say the film may be about a political topic, but it's not making a statement.

"I mean it's a reminder of a subject but it offers no opinion. I think it's a really stark, objective view of what we learned about what that place is like. It definitely doesn't offer any answers to the questions but it asks them and mainly it really is about two people traversing this, you know, complicated and difficult area."

With roles like "Camp X-Ray" and "Clouds of Sils Maria", which is playing this week at the New York Film Festival and earning the actress rave reviews, Stewart still isn't completely free of her "Twilight" persona.

Last week, Lionsgate announced that Stephenie Meyer's world of vampires and werewolves will be revived for a short film competition. The Women in Film organization will help lead a campaign to develop and produce a series of shorts directed by aspiring female filmmakers.

At least five young directors will be chosen to direct shorts based on characters from "Twilight." Meyer and Stewart will be among the panelists selecting the winners.

"I mean I'm always for women and film in general," said Stewart. "I'm interested to see them. I think I just wanted to be a part of the group that was making this happen. I think it's a good thing to do and I'm kind of just excited to see what people produce."

"Camp X-Ray" opens in the United States on 17 October.

So it is a film about listening each other, hearing each other and talk to each other and listen to each other's story and I love it because it's like we can make friendship and be a better and make the world a better place by this and this is what happens between me and Kristen Stewart in this film."

STORYLINE

A LOOK AT SOME OF THE BIGGEST CELEBRITY SURPRISES OF 2012

A South Korean recording artist becomes a global superstar thanks to YouTube. A Hollywood couple pulls off a top-secret wedding. And Kristen Stewart finally has a reason to look so unhappy after the paparazzi catches her cheating on Robert Pattinson. Here's a look back at some of the celebrity surprises of 2012.

Just when we were getting used to Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise's marriage, she engineers a daring escape usually depicted in a Lifetime movie marathon. Holmes bolted from Cruise after five years of marriage and moved to New York City with the couple's daughter, Suri.

"Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' divorce was definitely one of the most surprising of 2012. I mean it came out of nowhere. There weren't even any reports of them having any trouble and she literally just threw a curveball at him and filed in secrecy so people were definitely shocked with that one," says Jennifer Peros of Us Weekly magazine.

Kristen Stewart finally declared her love for Robert Pattison. The bad news: She only did it after she was caught cheating with her married "Snow White" director, Rupert Sanders. In her Stewart's uncomfortable, public "I love him, I love him" mea culpa to Pattison, she apologized for the hurt and embarrassment she caused.

"Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson's whole saga was probably for Us Weekly the biggest surprise of 2012. We were completely shocked when we got those pictures," says Peros.

The couple soon got back together though and were all smiles on the various red carpets for "Breaking Dawn Part 2." Peros says fans will be watching to see whether or not Stewart and Pattinson last now that the final "Twilight" film has hit theaters.

"I definitely think it's going to be an ongoing story for Us Weekly in 2013 you know whether or not her (Kristen) and Rob are actually going to stay together. Right now they are back on. A lot of people are still talking about whether it was just fake and a whole thing to stir up publicity but we're hearing that he has been trying to win her back and she's been trying even harder so it will be interesting to see if they stay together now that 'Twilight' is done."

Another couple pulled off a top-secret wedding...without ever confirming they were an item. Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds tied the knot in a hush-hush ceremony in September.

"Ryan and Blake was definitely a bit of a shocker because not too many people even knew that they were legit dating. They were dating for 11 months and then they fly down to Charleston, South Carolina and get married in this top secret wedding so after it happened people were just amazed. Nobody knew that any of this was coming so good for them," says Peros.

Peros says one of the biggest celebrity surprises of 2012 is South Korean recording artist Psy. He turned 'Gangnam Style' into a household phrase after he posted the song's music video on YouTube.

"The Asian market is huge and there are many celebrities over there that Americans don't even know about so when a guy like this comes out of South Korea, completely goes viral and takes over YouTube, people really want to know about him so Psy I think is definitely one of the biggest people of 2012."

JULIANNE MOORE, KRISTEN STEWART TALK GOLDEN GLOBE WIN AT 'STILL ALICE' PREMIERE

Fresh off her Golden Globe win for best drama actress, Julianne Moore says she's still excited about the honor and still pinching herself.

Moore spoke at the New York premiere of her film "Still Alice" at Manhattan's Landmark Sunshine Cinema Tuesday night (13 JAN).

"It's a tremendous honor. I mean, this is a tiny, little movie. We didn't even finish it a year ago. There was no guarantee it would even get distribution when Sony Classics picked us up. I do feel in a continual state of surprise about this whole process," she beamed.

Kristen Stewart, who plays one of Moore's daughters in the film, says she was on a plane when Moore won and wasn't able to reach out to her co-star.

"I'm so insanely, immensely proud of her. I care for her in such a very real way and like people might think that actors can just have that with anyone. When people really affect you and you're watching something in a film and you're feeling that energy and it's so contagious I can almost guarantee you that they're not lying and they're not faking it. It's like those moments are what we live for and so I'm so proud of her I can't even tell you. She's an incredible, incredible woman," said Stewart.

Kate Bosworth, who plays Moore's other daughter, also had praise for the actress, who's been nominated for an Oscar four times:

"We're family. I root for her so deeply. To have been able to see what she did in person and for her to be recognized for it and this kind of little movie that I feel grateful people are even seeing it and that it was even made and I'm so, so thrilled for her."

"Still Alice," based on the bestselling novel of the same name, tells the story of an accomplished, 50-year-old woman who slowly loses her thoughts and memories to early onset Alzheimer's disease.

Moore says she thinks the film's critical acclaim comes from its perspective from the point of view of the person suffering with the disease.

"Generally a story like this is from the point of view of a family member or a caregiver but Lisa wanted to write a story about what it felt like, what cognitive decline felt like for the person who was experiencing it and I think in the movie I think Rich and Wash have managed to capture that really beautifully," she said.

"I think the movie was made more in the spirit of - less in the spirit of loss than it was in hope and love and I think even what we value and who we care about and what it means to be alive. So, I would come home at night and feel really great about my life, my husband and my kids and my really irritating dogs and all of it. You know what I mean? I was like, 'This is great," Moore added.

Stewart also believes the film's subject matter and approach to it has resonated with critics.

"To see somebody take it in stride and see every bit of vulnerability and see somebody sort of come out the other side of it, knowing that they squeezed out every last drop of life before they sort of like were done and didn't decide to just throw in the towel. That is extremely uplifting. It's not the easiest movie to watch but it's funny. It's like people, when they're having the hardest times they have to laugh at things. It's like you find the light in the darkest situations. It's like the tiniest shred of light is very bright," she said.

Author Lisa Genova also attended the premiere and explained that Moore was always her number one choice to play the lead.

"She's got an authenticity that makes you feel like you could be her. So she's not at a distance. You can get in her skin and we really needed that for this story because it's a subjective point of view. You'll watch this movie and you are in her shoes through the whole movie and so it was really important that you can believe that you could be her," she explained.

"Still Alice" opens in North American theaters Friday, January 16th.

"It's a beautifully, beautifully written story. Lisa Genova wrote such an extraordinary novel and (director) Wash (Westmoreland) and (director) Rich (Glatzer) adapted it so beautifully and I'd never read anything that was so subjectively told. I mean, generally a story like this is from the point of view of a family member or a caregiver but Lisa wanted to write a story about what it felt like, what cognitive decline felt like for the person who was experiencing it and I think in the movie I think Rich and Wash have managed to capture that really beautifully."

MICHELLE WILLIAMS, KRISTEN STEWART, LAURA DERN WALK NYFF RED CARPET FOR 'CERTAIN WOMEN'

It was a glamorous red carpet Monday (3 OCT. 2016), as Michelle Williams, Kristen Stewart and Laura Dern arrived for the New York Film Festival premiere of "Certain Women."

The film - from writer-director Kelly Reichardt - tells a trio of stories of intersecting lives in Montana.

It's based on short stories by Maile Meloy.

Stewart, who plays a high school teacher in the film, loves how the story depicts "the normal lives of women."

"It's not very typical for people to focus on the normal lives of women. It's always movies about exceptional, hero women that overcome great adversity to do a thing. And it's like, no, these are three women sort of doing very mundane but like really engaging, tiresome, really topical, current things. And that usually is not focused on," Stewart said.

"The only way that that can be focused on is if you make it interesting and Kelly's perspective makes it interesting. And you can look at any of her previous work, every woman that's been written into her movies are, you know - she doesn't do archetype movies. There are powerful woman stories now, but they're usually pretty standardized and she's sort of the opposite of that, so I'm so proud to be a part of it."

Reichardt went "old school" when it came to shooting the film, choosing to capture it on 16MM film stock. Stewart explained how that impacted her performance.

"The time constraints are kind of something. You can't just roll and find it," Stewart said.

"But that's like a pretty typically American indie-style thing and her vibe is different. She's very composed. She's not like, 'Oh, we'll just take it off sticks and throw it on his shoulder and we're going to dance around and you can say whatever you want.' She's like, 'No, no. You're going to say the lines and I'm going to compose my shot. We're going to shoot a scene.' Yeah, so I think that's pretty special."

Dern also embraced being captured on film again.

"It's amazing. I hope to, you know, be around film more and more. I love all of it in its own unique way, but I love film very much, so... We just need labs. We need labs and hopefully many more filmmakers will continue to explore with film," Dern said.

As for Williams, she's no stranger when it comes to working with Reichardt, having starred in her previous films, "Meeks Cutoff" and "Wendy and Lucy."

"Working with my old pal Kelly Reichardt, it's our third movie together, so whatever she asks, the answer is always yes," Williams said.

"And then when I was there, I discovered these great actors that I got to work with."

"Certain Women" opens in U.S. theaters on 14 October 2016.

KRISTEN STEWART, BLAKE LIVELY MARVEL AT PERIOD ERA 'CAFE SOCIETY'

Woody Allen continues to stay with his blistering pace of pushing out a movie a year. His latest entry, "Cafe Society" features Kristen Stewart and Blake Lively.

Set in the late 1930's, the film shifts from the Golden Age of Hollywood to New York's nightclub life. Stewart who plays the part-time love interest of Jesse Eisenberg's character was impressed on the perfection that went into the clothes and sets.

"It was fun on an aesthetic level because everyone who works on Woody's movies are incredibly detail-oriented; the costumes were perfect, you know, they were exquisitely built. On a surface level, it was shiny and fun. I think the time period serviced the story perfectly," Stewart said.

Stewart loves the modern spin on period life that her character Vonnie takes on.

"In the late 1930s it would not necessarily be OK for a young woman to not feel some shame or guilt surrounding somewhat unconventional relationships. If she can actually look back on her life and consider the hypotheticals and value them and not feel like she made mistakes. I thought that was super modern and something that inserted into the late 1930s was like, 'Whoa, she's interesting to me," Stewart said.

Lively also plays a character named Vonnie, though she's first introduced as Veronica.

"Doing a period film with Woody Allen and Vittorio and the way that they tell the story is so beautiful. But also, Woody, music is so intrinsic to he does, and 1930s music specifically. So to do a movie that takes place right in his wheelhouse of rhythm is actually really neat," Lively said.

She said part of the charm is how comfortable Allen made her feel.

"There is a level of confidence that comes too because he knows what he's doing, he has it down pat. He's not going to go through the motions with you, so you feel taken care of. You feel like you're going to be in a good movie," Lively said.

Then she added: "A Woody Allen movie is a Woody Allen movie, so stepping into that is a level of security."

"Cafe Society" opens in US theaters on Friday.

'EQUALS' STEWART HOULT, ON AFFECTION, DYING FOR LOVE

The sci-fi love story "Equals" is set in a future drained of emotion. But at its core, it's a classic Shakespearean tale with roots in "Romeo and Juliet."

"Yeah, I love 'Romeo and Juliet' stories. It's kind of the classic template for a great love story and tragedy," said Nicholas Hoult, who stars in the film alongside Kristen Stewart.

"Yeah. Ultimately you want to give yourself to someone. And sort of the most heightened example of that is truly dying for someone," said Stewart.

Director Drake Doremus focuses his camera on the little things that Hoult and Stewart's characters can do to show affection for one another - hands brushing in a hallway, sidelong glances.

So how do the actors show affection in their real lives?

"Yeah, everyone has different ways of showing and receiving affection and love. And if they don't line up, it can be confusing. Because people go like, 'I'm not feeling you.' And it's like 'I'm giving you everything. What are you talking about?' 'Well, that's not what matters to me,'" Stewart said.

Hoult finds a nice cup of tea makes all the difference.

"In England, there's a great way that people go about pretty much everything, whereby no matter what's happened and no matter what you're saying, they go, 'I'll put the kettle on.' And that means you're going to get a cup of tea and everything is going to be all right. That's kind of a way of showing affection," he said.

"Equals" is now playing in limited release.

STEWART'S THREE MONTH CABIN FEVER

David Cronenberg was not the only one who took a showbiz satire to the Cannes Film Festival this year.

French director Olivier Assayas convinced Kristen Stewart to take on the role of a personal assistant to Juliette Binoche's middle aged actress Maria Enders. "The Clouds of Sils Maria" - a modern-day life imitating art imitating life look at the actors' private world- took the crew into the Swiss Alps on a restricted set.

Kristen Stewart said it was an intense three months of filming.

"When we were in St. Moritz, Sils Maria, like that's where we shot it, I did start to get a little bit of cabin fever. I kind of felt like Jack Nicholson in 'The Shining' for a minute there. It was like we were all living in this old stuffy hotel and it was just like and we were so obsessed with making this movie and every second of our lives was devoted to focussing on this movie that it becomes this isolated obsessive environment but it's amazing, that's what it should be," she related, adding "I'm into that. I really like intense bursts of like take these three months and think about nothing but this but it definitely got a little... I mean at a certain point I was like 'OK, we need to all relax a little bit.'"

The drama tells the story of a European thespian who is asked to play the part of the older woman in a remake of the play that made her famous. It's a decision over which she agonizes for a long time, but her assistant convinces her to shed away any lingering doubts. In the process, they poke fun of Hollywood conventions, entertainment media and also weigh topics such as ageing performers, and the industry that swallows people up and chews them up.

Stewart said it was the opportunity to act opposite Binoche and be directed that Assayas that made her accept the part but also the chance to analyze various of aspects of showbiz.

"I comment on the sort of potential for the media to be and it's very commonly incredibly superficial. It's not 'yeah, I'm being nice right now, but basically saying this is so silly and not in an interview, not to you right now, but in a film that really means something that it's a different thing. So that was definitely satisfying to say some of those lines to her," she explained.

Chloe Grace Moretz takes on the role of the young starlet reprising the role originally played by Binoche's Maria Enders. Her character is that of a troubled star whose drunken antics and outrageous behavior is all over the tabloids and online blogs. As an up-and-comer, Moretz says she noticed that her working life has been hijacked by the social media.

"Every time I go to a meeting I get asked, 'do you, are you on social media? And if you are how many followers do you have?' and I find that really weird because instead of being asked like 'oh what movies do you want to do? what do you want to approach?' they kind of ask what is your internet social standing which I find really annoying."

The film is in competition at Cannes Film Festival. The winner of the Palme d'Or is announced Saturday (24 MAY 2014.)

2. SOUNDBITE (English) Kristen Stewart/Actress - what motivated her to take on the role:

"I think the fear that motivated me here was working with Juliette. And with Olivier as well. It's just such a different setting for an American actress. It's a very European feeling film. It thinks a lot, it doesn't package its ideas and deliver them to you. I think it takes its on ride and it's really complex and what scared me was hitting it perfectly and striking this balance and this was an opportunity to really make the point hit home. I play an assistant to an actress, I comment on the sort of potential for the media to be and it's very commonly incredibly superficial. It's not 'yeah, I'm being nice right now, but basically saying this is so silly and not in an interview, not to you right now, but in a film that really means something that it's a different thing. So that was definitely satisfying to say some of those lines to her and not scary, just really satisfying."

3. SOUNDBITE (English) Olivier Assayas/Director - why he thought of Stewart for the part:

"I met her, it's really via my producer Charles Gillibert, he produced 'On the Road' and so I met Kristen through him in a completely, I mean I was not thinking about this film, I had not written it so it's. But I liked her very much. I thought that was something to her that was extraordinarily powerful and I thought that movies had not used half of it. So I thought that I saw someone who had done great things but had greater things to do."

It's become, as a young actor it's become as a whole part of your career that if you don't instagram your movies, that if you don't tweet your movies and stuff like that, they're not going to succeed kind of thing."

2. SOUNDBITE (English) Kristen Stewart/Actress: "Yeah, I was 17 at the time and it's, you know it's an enormously irresponsible thing to to take a part that you don't know you can play or think that you have it in you to play. And I think at that point I would have done anything on this movie. Absolutely anything. I would have catered, I would have driven around in a caravan doing nothing. So I jumped at it. I was much too young at that point. Thankfully a few years had gone by before the movie was able to get going. And I think the biggest thing, just aside from obvious personal, I mean I loved the book, it was my first favorite book. I read it as a freshman. As an actor you the ability to sort of deliver something that really moves you or kill it and deprive the entire world of ever having that and it's a huge responsibility. And above that, obviously this book is beloved by a lot more people than me and Garrett (Hedlund) and Walter (Salles). For decades this movie has been trying to find legs and it finally did with us and that is simply mind blowing. I think the four week rehearsal period and considering we were all attached to it for a few years. We all felt fairly validated at that point to be like 'we know this. We know this. We've completely, emotionally, I would do anything. I would lay in the street for this movie.' So I've never done a movie that had that much sort of honor about it. You know what I mean."

You're not exactly sure what's going on with her all the time. So I had few opportunities to sort of show this side of her cause you know, it's not the lead character. Those opportunities are sort of few and far between and sort of momentary. So I'm like all right. This is my one moment to be like and we just sort of intentionally, we didn't sort of intend to be spontaneous but we sort of set out to just lose and that's what we aimed for."

It's not 'then she was alone, she sits alone, da, da, da.' It's more about the boys and their search for their father kind in a way. So I think yeah, you can take it both ways. You can say, yeah MaryLou was this like amazing woman that did all these things that people weren't doing in that time. Or you can say she is really vulnerable and fell in love with two gorgeous, talented men, who kind of took advantage of her. I mean there's a lot of, you can take it both ways. But for my role I think that she fell head over heals, knew what she was getting into. But you know it's not the type of guy you want to get pregnant with."

7. SOUNDBITE (English) Kristen Stewart/Actress (on if the female roles are painted in misogynistic or feminist light): "I find that most of the time it's guys wanting to and I'm sure a bunch of women will stand up and be like, 'you're an idiot for saying this.' But really would kind of love to identify with me, talking to a younger girl about 'On the Road is the most common thing in the world is to say that they were sort of used. The women are used not only in the story as ambiance or something. They're also used by the characters and sort of thrown away and how do you feel about that? I don't know. To assume she was used any more than she used them - I know it sounds ridiculous, it sounds like very basic, but uh, she was the type of person and we did come to find out in reality cause it was not necessarily in the book, which is understandable because like I said she is not the main character. She was a bottomless pitt. You couldn't take anything from her. And she wanted everything in return. It was such an equal push and pull. They raised each other these kids. She was definitely not slighted. I think if you said that to her she would be like offended. Do you what I mean?"

STORYLINE

STEWART, DUNST ON KEROUAC FILM

22-year-old "Twilight" star Kristen Stewart admits she felt a huge responsibility taking on the Jack Kerouac adaptation of "On the Road."

"Obviously this book is beloved by a lot more people than me and Garrett (Hedlund) and Walter (Salles). For decades this movie has been trying to find legs and it finally did with us and that is simply mind blowing. I think the four week rehearsal period and considering we were all attached to it for a few years. We all felt fairly validated at that point to be like 'we know this. We know this. We've completely, emotionally, I would do anything. I would lay in the street for this movie.' So I've never done a movie that had that much sort of honor about it."

Walter Salles ("Central Station," "The Motorcycle Diaries") spent years developing the film, which also stars Garrett Hedlund as beat generation free spirit Dean Moriarty, inspired by Kerouac's friend Neal Cassady, and Sam Riley as the author's alter-ego, Sal Paradise.

Stewart plays Dean's young girlfriend, Marylou, who joins him and Sal on some of their crazed cross-country adventures. She and Garrett share an intense dance scene which was described in the book as a "love dance."

"MaryLou is, she's on the outskirts of the story, emotionally speaking. You're not exactly sure what's going on with her all the time. So I had few opportunities to sort of show this side of her cause you know, it's not the lead character. Those opportunities are sort of few and far between and sort of momentary. So I'm like all right. This is my one moment to be like and we just sort of intentionally, we didn't sort of intend to be spontaneous but we sort of set out to just lose and that's what we aimed for."

Kirsten Dunst, who appears in just four scenes as Dean's wife, Camille, weighed in on a long-standing debate: are Kerouac's female roles painted in misogynistic or feminist light?

"In the book, they're not full people really much. I mean my character, you never really stay with her emotions or what she's feeling. And she's like 'get out of the house. And that's all you get from her. It's not 'then she was alone, she sits alone, da, da, da.' It's more about the boys and their search for their father kind in a way. So I think yeah, you can take it both ways. You can say, yeah MaryLou was this like amazing woman that did all these things that people weren't doing in that time. Or you can say she is really vulnerable and fell in love with two gorgeous, talented men, who kind of took advantage of her. I mean there's a lot of, you can take it both ways. But for my role I think that she fell head over heals, knew what she was getting into. But you know it's not the type of guy you want to get pregnant with," said Dunst.

"The most common thing in the world is to say that they were sort of used," said Stewart. "The women are used not only in the story as ambiance or something. They're also used by the characters and sort of thrown away and how do you feel about that? I don't know. To assume she was used any more than she used them - I know it sounds ridiculous, it sounds like very basic, but uh, she was the type of person and we did come to find out in reality cause it was not necessarily in the book, which is understandable because like I said she is not the main character.

KRISTEN STEWART: YES, I'VE GOOGLED MYSELF

Have you ever Googled yourself?

If so, chances are you've found hundreds of people with your name and very little to point to your recent activities... unless you're a Hollywood star of course.

For example, if you type "Kristen Stewart" into the Internet search engine, you'll get about 7,290,000 results.

The "Twilight" star's latest role is in new drama "Clouds of Sils Maria" - a life-imitating-art-imitating-life look at the private worlds of famous actresses.

Stewart plays personal assistant to Juliette Binoche's middle-aged actress Maria Enders, who is asked to star in a revival of a play she did earlier in her career.

But now she's been approach to play an older character in the story, while a younger actress plays the part that made her famous.

As she tries to decide whether or not to accept the role, Enders Googles her potential co-stars - including young starlet Jo-Ann Ellis (Chloe Grace Moretz) - in order to find out more about their history.

Stewart admits she's often gone online to look up future castmates.

I mean I like to know what's going on," she explains. "I don't want to walk in to a room and ever think that there's something that these people know or think and I don't know it. But, at the same time, it literally is as easy as turning around and it's not there any more, do you know what I mean? It's like it doesn't touch you. It never is actually able to affect me in anyway. But yeah, hell yeah, I know what's going on. Google everyone, totally. I want to know what people are doing."

But has she ever Googled herself?

"I don't sit obsessively Googling myself, but I really think it's awkward when actors sit and say 'oh no, no I've never done that.' It's like 'you don't want to know? You don't want to know what's going on?' So yeah of course. And also this movie would be much more... it would be irrelevant if I didn't. Of course I do. This is a huge commentary on that world itself, so yeah."

Moretz and Binoche, who are often at loggerheads in the movie, also disagree when it comes to looking for information on other actors.

"Yeah. You want to know about what they are doing, you know?" says the youngster.

"Not really. Do you?" questions Binoche.

"Sometimes. To see if their like work ethic is clean," admits Moretz. "Okay! I'm from the generation of Google, so I'm sorry."

French director Olivier Assayas also uses the Internet to search for future workmates.

"I'm interested in Internet, I'm interested in exploring it, using it. I think it's the most fantastic tool when you're writing," he says. "I look up actors just to see the photos. Just to see what they look like now, something like that. I see it as a work tool."

Stewart: "Yeah, I mean I like to know what's going on. It's a very different thing though. If you, like, it doesn't ever touch you. If you're asking it affects me, like why do I do it? Literally I'm somebody who is kind of a control freak. I'm like obsessively... like I want to be self aware. I don't want to walk in to a room and ever think that there's something that these people know or think and I don't know it. But, at the same time, it literally is as easy as turning around and it's not there any more, do you know what I mean? It's like it doesn't touch you. It never is actually able to affect me in anyway. But yeah, hell yeah, I know what's going on. Google everyone, totally. I want to know what people are doing."

(Reporter: "What about yourself? Are you afraid of doing that?")

Stewart: "No, not really. That's the thing. I don't sit obsessively Googling myself, but I really think it's awkward when actors sit and say 'oh no, no I've never done that.' It's like 'you don't want to know? You don't want to know what's going on?' So yeah of course. And also this movie would be much more... it would be irrelevant if I didn't. Of course I do.

Grace Moretz: "Yeah. You want to know about what they are doing, you know?"

(Reporter: "If they are stumbling out of clubs, if it's going to be a problem.")

Grace Moretz: "For sure, sometimes."

Binoche: "Not really. Do you?"

Grace Moretz: "Sometimes. To see if their like work ethic is clean."

Binoche: "Yeah."

Grace Moretz: "You know what I mean? Like on Google. You know with Jo-Ann Ellis."

Binoche: "You see if they are clean? That they are OK to work with?"

Grace Moretz: "Yeah because if they're partying a lot and got DUIs it's kind of sketchy. I don't know. Okay! I'm from the generation of Google, so I'm sorry."

Binoche: "Yeah."

3. SOUNDBITE (English) Olivier Assayas, director - on whether he ever Googles himself or the actors he might potentially work with:

"I Google other people but I just don't want to see... I mean I don't feel I have a relationship to the Olivier Assayas on the Internet. I'm basically not interested. I'm interested in Internet, I'm interested in exploring it, using it. I think it's the most fantastic tool when you're writing."

(Reporter: "Do you Google actors you are potentially interested working with?")

Assayas: "Yes, of course."

(Reporter: "See what they are up to?")

Assayas: "Yeah I look at photos, I look at... I don't have the patience to read stuff, but usually when I'm casting a film yeah. I look up actors just to see the photos. Just to see what they look like now, something like that. I see it as a work tool."

'PULP' ON 'CLOUDS'

Quentin Tarantino and the stars of "Pulp Fiction" walked the red carpet in Cannes on Friday night (23 MAY 2014) for the premiere of "Clouds of Sils Maria."
