Chaske Spencer Mentions Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson in a new interview

You've stuck up for Kristen Stewart in interviews before. Why do you think the media is so hard on her?

I don't know why. People need to back off her. She's really a nice girl. I just don't think she's into the whole game. I kind of feel that way too in the sense that, "Why do I have to keep selling myself to the media to watch a movie? Why can't you just look at the work?" I think she does that and she's a really nice person. If you sit down and have coffee with her or chill out with her one-on-one or in a group, she's really a cool person. I tip my hat to her for not catering to the media. Because in the end, we're just actors. We like to work. We like to be other people. That's what we do. We're not celebrities. That's the thing. I don't think she wants to be a celebrity. She's not a reality show star. She's just a person who wants to work as an actress. People need to back off from her.

Right.

That's how today's culture [is]. We're surrounded by people who just want to know who you're dating and your personal life, and it's different nowadays then it was back maybe 15 years ago, almost 20 years ago. You were able to have a private life, do your work and people [could] judge you on that. I remember I didn't know sh*t about Sean Penn. I just knew he was a great actor. You didn't know about his personal life too much. Same thing with Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer. But nowadays, it's like you have to sell a part of your soul to launch a movie. I don't like that part. I'm really trying hard not to do it. But somedays, you just have to play the game and that just sucks.

So are you relieved that the whole thing is over now? I mean, the paparazzi and whatnot.

Well, I never had a problem with them because I'm not Lautner, Stewart or Pattinson. I really like the fact that I can be in this franchise, get some benefits out of it to launch my own career and still lie low under the radar. I really like that. Plus, watching all of that, I'm not really comfortable with it. That's why I do a lot of charity work because I can use that spotlight to focus on other things and help out. Because I really do believe in helping out and giving back. But it's not so focused on my personal life so I can fly under the radar.
