Kristen Interview with Focus (Germany)
Miss Stewart, with ''Breaking Dawn Part 2'' the vampire saga which made you rich and famous, comes to an end. Are you relieved or sad that it’s over?
Both. After the huge success of the first film we felt a lot of pressure, the series developed into a global phenomenon. We were part of a brand that had to be maintained. That's over now, and I'm not sad about it. The saga was a dominant part of my life during the past five years. So much happened during that time - and I've definitely become more mature.
First of all you became an international teen idol practically overnight. How did you cope with so much attention as a 17-year-old?
The hype caught us all completely by surprise. The fans went literally crazy, suddenly we needed bodyguards. That was crazy. Jennifer Lawrence, the lead actress in The Hunger Games, who’s going through a similar situation right now, had asked me for advice on how to handle it. I told her: "Enjoy it and at the same time remember your own values."
