Making her comeback on the front pages of a glossy magazine after her very public slip up when she cheated on Robert Pattinson with director, Rupert Sanders, the 22-year-old admits she struggles to play it cool.
'I know if you haven’t thought about how you want to present a very packaged idea of yourself then it can seem like you lack ambition. But, dude, honestly? I can’t,' she said.
She told Vogue: 'People expect it to be easy because there you are, out there, doing the thing that you want and making lots of money out of it. But, you know, I’m not that smooth. I can get clumsy around certain people.’
‘Like if I were to sit down and think, “OK, I’m really famous, how am I going to conduct myself in public?” I wouldn’t know who that person would be! It would be a lot easier if I could, but I can’t.’
Kristen, who stars in new film On The Road, also moved to speak of her empathy for the Beat generation, on which the film is based.
'There is always going to be that seam of people who want things differently to the standardised version. It’s not necessarily a rebellious thing, it’s just who they are.
'That world back then, it just seems freer to me than anything I could ever touch and I’m fully nostalgic for it, even though I wasn’t even alive then.
'It’s the loyalty aspect of it all. I love being on the periphery with a group of people who have the same values that I do. People who don’t get off on fame, who just like the process of making movies and thrive.'

I think I actually read that paragraph twice because my brain could not accept that that was actually what she was trying to say and I kept thinking I'd read it wrong.
That's seriously the paragraph where any momentum she had for her argument just shriveled up and died. Not that there was much to start with. And, tbh, it's a false analogy regardless because there is NO role Kristen has played that another actor couldn't have played better. This is true for about 96% of all performances. There's ALWAYS someone else out there who can do better unless you are Meryl Streep.
And I don't even think she mentioned K for that part, I think she just went on a rant about herself and her past and what a great loss to the world it would be if she had quit acting due to the pressure she felt at a young age.
It was uncalled for and embarrassing. Poor Jodie, thank god she's talented or people would be beating her up for it.
