On being interviewed for the mag: Upon walking into this interview a few minutes behind schedule, she proffers a hug and an offer to "stay until you get everything you need." There are no publicists, handlers, ringleaders, or beefcake bodyguards hanging around… "I really love people… You can't not as an actor. It's just strange meeting someone and going, Okay, you startat square one and I will try and make up for what you already think you know about me."
On getting over being afraid of being who she is: "I have realized that you can close yourself off to life if you put walls up, but it's a difficult thing. You can't see over, people can't see in, and you also can't see out. So I've gotten quite comfortable with just being unafraid. I keep saying the same thing: it's not about being fearless but really just embracing the fears and using them."
'On the Road': "I would have done anything, I would have played any part," says Stewart. "Marylou is remarkable because she's got a tough core. When you're a teenager, a year can be crippling to maneuver through. You're just out there questioning things, and so to be completely okay with that and not think that there's anything wrong with you, that's something I've recently understood. I'm 22. Marylou started this whole thing when she was 15."
On it being strange portraying someone else on film: "It's a pretty f–king odd thing to want to pretend to be another person," she says, "and then have a lot of other people who watch you do that. You have this experience of reading something, and if you don't bring it to life, you're basically deleting it. Every day of shooting you're depriving the world of having that. The responsibility is amazing."
She's a "normal" girl: "Until you really get to know the woman behind the character, it's difficult to connect the dots. I'm a contemporary, sensitive, normal girl, and it's difficult to try and empathize with someone who seems to have a lack of empathy. She seems a bit callous in the book. She's literally the farthest…I have never encountered a person that had their nerves so f–king close to the surface."
