hallo everyone, check out KStew new interview with Vogue magazine, thanks to @RobstenDreams for the info
(On her parents working in the industry) "Both my parents work in film and telev
ision, they used
to bring me with them at work, where I saw people of every age acting, even children: I immediately unders
tood that I wanted
to do it
too."
(On why she likes to joke on set) "There's a lot of free time, I have
to enjoy myself somehow!"
(On where she'd like to land if Captain Kirk could take her back in time) "Around 1948, 1950, so I could l
isten the beat generation's bebop, blues and jazz."
(On her Snow White) "Yes, but it's a very original Snow White, a warrior who even wears an armour!"
(On the beach scene she shot for SWATH)
"Oh yes, that's the scene that sees me finally free after my escape
from the Evil Queen. I love that dress, it's gorgeous! Wearing it helped
me
to get in
to character. The weight of the wet fabric, for example, helped me
to understand the troubles Snow White has
to face
to escape from her destiny. The hair
is also fundamental for
this role. These are extensions, my hair
is shorter, it reaches my shoulders, more or less. The color
isn't mine either. Since I've been acting, I've never had my natural haircolor, which
is light brown. But it's okay, it's fun
to see yourself differently when you look in the mirror."
(On what kind of clothes she wear) "I'd love
to wear
very feminine clothes, but then, in the everyday life, when I'm in Los
Angeles, at home, I'd rather be comfortable. Whereas, when I'm away,
like in
this case, I pack all kinds of clothes, for the evening as well, because I think that maybe I'll get a chance
to wear them."
(On how long it takes her to pack) "I'm really organ
ised. I just have
to open my wardrobe and choose. But you see, even if I bring lots of clothes with me, it always ends up like
this: tank
top, jeans and sneakers."
(On doing exercise and staying fit) "I'm naturally skinny. We're all like
this in my family, so I don't have
to exerc
ise a lot or go on a diet. I do all the exerc
ise I need on set. Right now, for example,
to play Snow White I never s
top:
I run, jump, fight with swords, horseride... I do all kinds of stuff!
You see, I've even injured myself! But it's nothing serious."
(On her energy on set) "It's true, I don't lack the enthusiasm. If there's something
to do, I say: 'Come on, what are we waiting for? Let's do it!' Because I'm eager
to start.
This way of doing things helps me
to always keep a high energy. I like going for new projects."
(On her upcoming projects) "Right now, there's nothing certain. I'll take the chance
to go back home,
to my family, and enjoy some free time.
This, right now, it's my ideal holiday. I travelled around the world for my job, often whi
tout even real
ising where I was. I like travelling, but right now, I need
to recharge my batteries."
(On what kind of actress she is) "I'm not one of those actresses that maniacally prepare themselves for a role. On set, I do whatever I need
to do, but day after the day. If I have
to improv
ise, I improv
ise, if I have
to learn my lines by heart, I do it. There are certain screenplays which are so beautiful, that they only need
to be repeated as they are, without any changes. I live in the moment."
(On why she loves her job) "Why worrying before a job? I love my job and I want
to fully enjoy it. I love it, I'll never s
top saying that. Seen from the outside it may seem like a fairytale, and maybe it
is; but there's a lot of commitment behind it and even a few sacrifices. I, for example, love
to sleep, but every morning I have
to get up really early
to go on set. I win over my laziness, I get up and I happily go
to work. The important thing
is to keep in mind that acting
is like any other job. A job that gives you the chance
to keep
reinventing yourself, living new emotions and expressing yourself, but
that doesn't really make you different or special. Anyway, I know I'm
lucky, because what happens when you're acting, it's extraordinary.
Sometimes you're so deeply taken by your character or the s
tory, that you almost r
isk
to lose yourself. It happened
to me when I shot "Speak". I played an introverted girl that decides not
to speak
to anyone,
ever again. Her silence it's how she defends herself from other people:
her schoolmates, her teachers, her family even herself. At the end, it
was hard
to leave that comfortable silence I had created for myself. With silence you get peace and even your thoughts are more organ
ised, it's extraordinary and really hard
to explain.
I lived an interesting experience with "On the Road" as well, where I
play Marylou: I explored the freedom of actually living "on the road",
mentally and physically. That's what I'm talking about, it's the magic
of acting."
(On what kind of wish she'd make, given the opportunity) "Oh God, don't ask me about w
ishes! When I'm in front of a birthday cake, with all the lit candles, and everyone reminds me
to make a w
ish, I just blackout. I think: what do I w
ish for?, and nothing ever comes
to my mind. Then I close my eyes, take a deep breath and the w
ish comes out. I don't really know how
to explain what happens inside of me, but that's what happens: breathing
is the key
to understand what I really care about."
(On whether she has any wish for her job) "I have everything I could w
ish for. I receive lots of job offers, job offers that are often interesting. Really, I don't know what I could w
ish for... I don't even have a particular role I'd like
to play or a direc
tor I'd like
to work with. I just let things happen."
