The October/November issue of Interview Magazine features Kristen Stewart, and, in the obligatory photoshoot, Stewart really pulls off the Joan Jett look and vibe while building interest for the upcoming rock-band biopic, The Runaways. Stewart readily admits that she’s “not very good at interviews,” but she fares much better as an interviewee while on-the-phone (with Dennis Hopper) than, say, while speaking with Dave Letterman in front of a live television audience. In contrast, Hopper comes off as a rather annoying fanboy, who starts things off by putting his fawning daughter on the phone and then asking the most obvious questions:

HOPPER: Well, you’re getting a lot of attention.

STEWART: Yeah, it’s weird. There’s an idea about who I am that’s eternally projected onto me, and then I almost feel like I have to fulfill that role. Even when things come out of my mouth, I want to be sure I’m saying exactly what I mean. All I’m thinking of is the fact that everything that I say is going to be criticized–not criticized, just evaluated and analyzed. And it’s always something that matters so much to me that doesn’t come out right. But in terms of how my life has changed, I never really went out a whole lot before. I’m sort of an in-my-head kind of person. I wish I could take more walks . . .

HOPPER: You can’t take walks?

STEWART: I’d like to take more walks after work, instead of having to come back to my hotel room and not leave. So it can be boring. I’ve been working as an actress since I was very young, and I know a lot of people who are actors who don’t have to deal with having a persona . . . You know, if you look up the word persona, it isn’t even real. The whole meaning of the word is that it’s made up, and it’s like I didn’t even get to make up my own. It can be annoying. But I have a really strong feeling that this is going to go away, that this is the most intense it’s going to get–and could get–and that it’s fleeting. So in a few years, I will hopefully become more like the people I want to become like.
