We continue our series of posts interviewing "recycled art" crafters & artists. This week, we interviewed Elisabeth Hinze (alias Ronja Lotte) from the blog Nur noch as she is one of our most followed crafters and she bring very good ideas & inspirations to the Recyclart community. If you think you deserve to be featured in the next interview, please, drop us an email.
Tell us a little more about you? Who you are? Where are you from?
My name is Elisabeth Hinze (alias Ronja Lotte) and I am a DIY-Blogger from Hamburg, Germany. Since I was a kid, I never wanted to be anything else then an author and work with books. So I went to the university after finishing school and studied Literature and Linguistics. Well, and then life happened. After only writing academical papers for several years and working in jobs that had nothing to do with writing, I gave up on my dream. Then last year I started my blog www.nur-noch.blogspot.de and what started as a hobby became very quickly my life and the best thing that ever happened to me. At last I am writing and I can even work in my Pyjamas. Life can't get any better.
Why do you craft?
In nature I am very introvert and tend to overthink everything. When I am crafting, I just enjoy working with my hands. Another thing that I really love is to customize my own world. When I need a present for a friend, when I want a new shelf for my flat or a new dress for the summer, I just create it myself – with the materials I want and without the stress of running through a dozen stores.
How did you learn?
My father taught me to use all the essential power tools like drills, electrical saws or my beloved Dremel. When I wanted to learn to sew, I bought the cheapest sewing machine that I could find and for months I worked myself trough every sewing tutorial that I could find on the internet. I also did the same when I taught myself how to use Photoshop or when I started to photograph. I am a big believer in always learning.
Since when are you working with recycled & upcycled materials?
I started when I discovered the whole concept of Upcycling, about two years ago.
What are your can’t-live-without essentials?
My power tools, my photo camera, my cats and my bottle cutter.
How would you describe your style? Are there any crafters/artists/designers that you particularly look up to?
I would describe my style as a "modern vintage" - a fusion between modern Scandinavian design and vintage elements.
How is your workspace, how do you make it inspiring?
I work at home and my workspace is everywhere. I need a lot of light and clearness when I work so I painted my wood floor and the walls white and decluttered my flat.
What sorts of things are inspiring you right now? Where do you look for inspiration?
I always feel inspired by both the traditional Scandinavian country style and the more modern Scandinavian designs of today.
When do you feel the most creative?
At night, when I should sleep.
We live in such a mass-produced, buy-it-now society. Why should people continue to make things by hand?
There are so many benefits to making things by hand that this isn't even a real question for me: Buying a mass-produced item can never be the same than making a unique custom designed item yourself.
What is your favorite medium to work in?
I can't stop working with old bottles and wood. I never get tiered of smelling wood or sanding a perfect glass cut.
What are your tips for people who'd like to start crafting?
Don't try to be perfect and always try something new.
What is your favorite thing to do (other than crafting)?
Shopping for materials and home décor items at flea markets and thrift stores.
Anything else you would like to tell to the "recycling community"?
Right now I am working on my first craft book, together with the talented designer and author Kajsa Kinsella. The book will feature lots of Upcycling projects and I am crossing my fingers that we can find a publisher.
To finish, we've seen that you have an active blog. Since how many times are you blogging? Is that a full-time job or just a hobby to share your personal creations? Any websites that our readers should not miss?
I am blogging since June 2014 and although I started my blog as a hobby, it is now my full time job.
Thanks a lot Elisabeth for this interview! :)

An interview by Steve Turner 1971
We came together to talk about Grapefruit, Yoko's book of poems, and ended up talking about Jesus. Somewhere in between, we mentioned the Beatles. John and Yoko are currently facing the plight of 'super-stardom'. Within two weeks they had become the third set of artists I had met who were complaining of being sold as people rather then for their art or for their music. James Taylor was the first, complaining of being used only as a headline or a photograph to sell more newspapers, and Pete Townsend was equally determined that "he won't get fooled again" into being a "superstar".
"Being misunderstood", John explained, "is being treated as if I'd won the pools and married an Hawaiian dancer. In any other country we're treated with respect as artists, which we are. If I hadn't bought a house in Ascot I'd leave because I'm sick of it. It's only because it's such a nice house that I'm staying. I'm a fantastic patriot for Britain. Ask Yoko - I never stop selling it! But she finds it hard to love England when they never stop shitting on her."
Yoko feels very much the same way and is waiting rather apprehensively for the response to the paperback edition of Grapefruit. She's been feeling misunderstood for the past fifteen years and has come to the conclusion that she must be the supreme optimist to ever carry on. "I just get this feeling that it's going to be the same thing again, but I have to go on knocking on the door."
John says: "An artist is not usually respected in his own village, so he has to go to the next town. It's a bit of that with us really. I think it's also like Dylan Thomas and Brendan Behan - they both died of drink. Artists always die of drugs, drink and all that. Like Jimi and Janis -it's just that they're so misunderstood and tortured that they kill themselves. I refuse to do that. I've found the way out. You are here, live for the day, minute by minute. That's the essential way."
"You are here", meaning that this is all we can know of life's purpose, is the pervading message behind the art of both John and Yoko, The message is short but conclusive. In his song God, John lists fifteen people and philosophies that he no longer believes in and claims that he has now arrived at a position where he only believes in, "Yoko and me/that's reality". When I asked him what he considered reality to be, he answered, "Reality is living, breathing, eating and dying". So, outside of the undeniable fact of our own existence they claim that there is no need for questions or answers. As far as any ultimate reason, purpose or meaning to this life is concerned, John states, "There isn't an end product to life or a reason for it, it just is, It's not a game, though," he assured me, "it's very serious."
"You are here", is the statement they offer, and "what you can do while you are here" seems to be the message behind Yoko's poetry. They all take the form of a simple instruction, often of a single line and are divided into sections titled Painting, Event, Dance, Film, Object etc. When life itself has no meaning, there is no reason why the activities we perform during that life should have any ultimate meaning either. This would seem to be the philosophy behind the poem Line Piece, which says "Draw a line/Erase a line" or Map Piece - "Draw a map to get lost". Probably the best poem in this line, once you have an understanding of the underlying philosophy, is the one line ‘Lighting Piece‘. Here it is important to see both the meaninglessness inherent and the allegory between the match and our lives. The poem says simply "Light a match and watch till it goes out" Without purpose we seem to have been brought down to the level of a matchstick, and our lives are as a flame which burns awhile and then extinguishes. The matchstick is then discarded.
Yoko of course, is no newcomer to the art world having been associated with such avant-garde artists and musicians as Andy Warhol and John Cage. Warhol has explained his own art as being, "to stop you thinking about things". Francis Bacon, another contemporary artist who shares the same philosophy, has said, "Man now realises that he is an accident, a completely futile being and that he can only attempt to beguile himself for a time. Art has become a game by which man distracts himself."
In these cases, art has lost its power of Man communicating ideas and emotions to Man. It merely becomes a game to amuse ourselves with while in death's absurd waiting rooms. I feel that it is absolutely necessary to understand the thoughts of John and Yoko before their art becomes understandable.
"People seem to be scared of being put on", says John, commenting on a recent review of Grapefruit."I don't understand people who say they don't understand it because even a seven year old can understand it,"says Yoko. I commented that it's not the how of the instructions that were misunderstood but the why? Yoko explained: "You see, we live and we die. In between that we eat and sleep and walk around - but that's not enough for us. We have to act out our madness in order to be sane."
I asked John whether he'd been influenced a lot by Yoko's ideas. "Yeah, it's great, It's amazing that we think so alike coming from different ends of the earth. She's come from a very upper class scene, going to school with the prince and all that shit, and I'm from wherever! It just shows that colour, class and creed don't come in the way of communication. You don't even have to speak the same language. We made a calendar with some Grapefruit quotes on and some from my books. The ideas behind it were quite similar. Yoko was a bit further out than me when we met - and I was pretty far out, you know - but she really opened my head up with all her work."
I wondered whether he found a great difference between the poetry that he puts into his songs and the poetry that Yoko writes. "The last album I made was very much the same as Yoko's poetry, There weren't many words to it. It was pretty simple and so is the one I've just made which is called Imagine. We work well together in music too, except when I'm doing completely straight rock. But things like Revolution Number 9 would make a good background for her voice." John reminded me that his meeting with Yoko hadn't been the factor that made him write his songs of personal statement. He was writing the same kind of song back in his days as a Beatle, but again he was famed for just 'being a Beatle' rather than for the content of his work. "Help was a personal statement, In My Life was a personal statement and so was I'm A Loser. I was always on that kick but they were just considered to be 'pop' songs at that time. That's why I gave it up. It was all Beatles."
Halfway through our interview, John went out of the room for a few minutes and returned with a magazine which had been sent into the Apple offices for him, the cover contained his picture and the inscription 'Dear John', indicating an open letter to him which was inside. "You ought to see this, This is a message to me from the Jesus people. This is the Jesus freaks in America." He then sat down again and began reading aloud:
"Dear John, I've been through a lot of trips with you. When I was down I put your records on and you'd bring me back to life. We've been up mountains together and I know you know where it's at. But the main reason I'm writing to you is to tell you of a friend I met last June. He said that he is the way, the truth and the life. I believed him and gave my life to him. I can see now how he can boast such a claim. Since then I've heard that you don't believe in him, but you can see in your eyes that you need him. Come on home Johnny, Love a friend."
"I think they've got a damn cheek, I think they're madmen. They need looking after." I reminded him that this same suggestion had often been levelled at himself and Yoko. "That's my opinion you know, You asked me what I thought and I think they're crackpots."
As our earlier conversation had been on the topic of prejudice and how to remove it from society, I asked John whether he wasn't himself guilty of prejudice here. "I don't think it's a prejudice I just think it's a lot of bullshit, I think it's the biggest joke on earth that everyone's talking about some imaginary thing in the sky that's going to save you and talking about life after death which nobody has ever proved or shown to be feasible. Why should we follow Jesus? I'll follow Yoko, I'll follow myself." John's opinion of the Jesus Freak cult, is that they are following in the same tradition that he and the rest of the Beatles followed when they enlisted with the Maharishi. "It's the same as I did when I went looking for gurus, It's because you're looking for the answer which everybody is supposedly looking for. You're looking for some kind of super-daddy. The reason for this is because we're never given enough love and touch as children."
On another subject John very much sympathised with the attitude that Spike Milligan had presented when he ended his TV documentary with the question of whether it was he that was insane or the man who drills holes in pieces of wood for fifty years. "That is complete insanity....Don't you see that the society creates insane people to do their insane work, so that they can wank each other off on fucking yachts. That's what it's all about. And everybody's screwing holes in and going to school and going to work so that fifty people in Britain can fuck about on yachts."
After these comments, and as a leg-pull, I suggested to John that he ought to have his very own political TV show. Taking it rather more seriously than I had intended, he stated With firmness, "I am a revolutionary artist, not a politician". At least it gave me an extra understanding of what John Lennon thought about John Lennon rather than what critic and journalist number 5739 thought about John Lennon. It is precisely this assertion that he is an artist, which is the difference between Beatle John and the post-dream John, ("The dream is over... Yesterday I was the walrus/but now I'm John").
Song writing is now just one of his arts as he dabbles further into the field of film, sculpture and happening. Yoko is certainly the person who harnessed and directed the Lennon potential but his talent has been evident for years. His anti-organised religion attitude was evident from his early books and as he himself said, the personal songs go back as early as I'm A Loser on the Beatles For Sale album. Previous to meeting Yoko he seemed to be a philosopher in search of a philosophy and an artist in search of something to say. Now with Yoko, he sings the songs explaining the philosophy which has made Yoko's poetry a possible and indeed valid art form.
John and Yoko are two very warming people to be with. They both speak as if draining knowledge from the same mind, feeding each other with ideas. John hasn't lost the humour which was enjoyed so much in the Beatle days and he pounces on any opportunity to make a crack. When you see a copy of Grapefruit, only laugh at it if you feel that what you are doing that day has more meaning to it than Yoko's instructions. When you get John's albums, use them as reference works to gain an understanding of his wife's poems. And then next time someone tells you that John and Yoko are a couple of crackpots who could do with two years in the army, tell them that they're a couple of misinterpreted but nevertheless brilliant artists who are honest to their beliefs, and tell them that it was I who said so.

“Oh of course of course! I had to come forward and use my star power to put a stop to these ridiculous crimes! I mean, how many naked dollies can we have here in the doll case?
Things are becoming deplorable! Unbearable! Scandalous! Crude!
Whoever is responsible needs to come forward immediately!
This is sending me into a PSTD spiral from that whole bit with the wolf popping out of my Grandmothers clothes!”

I know it's sad but this is the most exciting thing I have witnessed since lockdown started. A news reporter came to interview a staff member from the care home behind where I live. So I dusted the cobwebs off a camera and put a long lens on it to record the event.

In a subway station of Vienna I found the man you see on the right, standing still in the middle of a lane, wearing headphones and holding an humongous microphone in his hands. I was ambushing him along the wall, when the second man came into the frame: it seemed like Big Mike was asking for an interview. Actually, I think that Big Mike was a technician measuring the level of noise in the subway.

Today, we had the chance to ask some questions to Wesley Marien, Crafter from Belgium who made all kind of gorgeous furniture from recycled wooden pallets. If you think you deserve to be featured in the next interview, please, drop us an email.
Tell us a little more about you? Who you are? Where are you from?
My name is Wesley Marien. I live in Belgium, am 31 years old, married to a fantastic wife, a little son (from a former relationship). I’m kind of a rebel. At 20 years old, I started to D.J., but got into music in general when I started playing at age 11. I like to be as versatile as possible. I’m always looking for practical solutions at home or when people ask for my help or skills, and it makes me happy when they ask me. It’s hard to obtain a job though because I’m not the easiest guy to work with, so I want to start on my own business. I can quickly add to my skills, so I want to start something small - on my own and be my own boss. I do like to providing a service to people, so what better way to do it than with some creativity?
Why do you craft?
The urge to create things is greater than ever. Everything I make, I make with pride!
How did you learn to do wood crafts?
I have a basic education in woodcraft from school but never properly finished school. I like to challenge myself because I know I can learn anything if I put my mind to it. My father took me along to do some jobs with family or anyone who paid him when I was only 11 - 12 years old. Ever since I left school I became my father as my friends always could rely on me to do a job no matter what it was. I know a bit of everything... woodwork, electricity, metal, plumbing, and renovation in general, and I’m glad of it!
How long have you been working with pallets?
Since last summer.
Why did you choose to work with pallets instead of purchased wood?
I think we have all the wood we need in the world to recycle. There’s no need for cutting down new trees for mass production. :)
What are your can’t-live-without essentials?
My wife & my son!!! My music!!! My wood!!!
Are there any brands that are your favorites?
I’m not a brand type of guy.
How would you describe your crafting style?
Not perfect at all but solid and playful; unorthodox and maybe a little stubborn.
Are there any crafters/artists/designers that you particularly look up to?
Not really. You can learn from anybody and anything.
Where do you do your wood crafts? How would you describe your workspace?
In my shed and its well organized, otherwise it’s impossible to do a decent job. I always work organized, but never with a plan.
How did you make your workspace more functional and/or inspiring?
I made my own workbench, toolbox, shelves and I know a thing or two about electricity so that’s all well provided. If you create your own workspace then the morale and respect for your equipment is so much greater then when it’s all store-bought.
What types of things inspire you?
Inspiration is like love… you never know from which corner it lurks – like finding a site like 1001pallets.com for example.
Where do you look for inspiration for a new woodcraft?
It all depends… since I’m stubborn I like to do as little inspiration as possible. Not that I don’t do research, but I only need to see something once and then my brain starts to work.
When do you feel the most creative?
All day long!! But it never hurts to let your mind rest every now and then :)
We live in such a mass-produced, buy-it-now society. Why should people continue to make things by hand?
To put a hold on mass production! It’s hard to answer this particular question since I’m not happy with society the way it is. Cutting wood on a massive scale is one thing but what about all the animals that live in and around the trees!? Cut a tree here or there but not the horrible clear-cutting. That’s sad as hell!!
What is your favorite medium to work in (other than pallets)?
Any wood will do as long as it’s not rotten. :)
What are your tips for people who'd like to start crafting?
Push the limit always little by little. Never be afraid to try something new, and watch your fingers.
What are your most important safety tips when woodworking?
Train a steady hand and logic is your friend. Also there’s no need for rushing things while working with wood and be sure to use sharp tools.
What is your guilty pleasure?
Cannabis.
What are some of your other hobbies or favorite things to do (other than crafting)?
Electronic music plays a big part in my life. I’ve played it for 20 years now and also recently into producing tracks and sounds. It’s my ultimate anti-stress, cure against society… music is always with me :) I also like to cook for my family since I’ve worked in several restaurant kitchens and picked up a thing or two from the experience. I make the best salads according to my wife!
Growing crops is also a thing we do in our garden and I have an indoor greenhouse where I spend every day an hour or two. Another thing that I just absolutely love is Western horseback riding. I’m not the best rider, but unafraid and they all say I have the talent for it. My wife says I have golden hands because everything I touch ends up well or turns into gold :)
What are some of your best tips for breaking down, prepping, and cleaning pallets before you build with them?
Take your time, inspect your pieces you want to use and decide where they all go in the project. If there are flaws in the wood, leave them in and give them a strategic place so like it’s meant to be there. Sanding is something you love or hate. I kinda love it because it reveals your end product so train yourself to sand, sand, sand and then sand some more. When the wood is to beat up throw it in the stove :)
Have you designed any special tools or jigs for wood crafts?
Not really but that will change soon.
What are some wood working skills you really want to learn?
Carving and sculpturing.
What is the one project you’re the proudest of so far?
For the moment it must be my famous (local) cathouse.
What else would you like to share with the pallet community?
No project can be bigger than the wood you have!
Editor’s Note: Thank you for your time and for sharing your story with us, and with our fellow Crafters. Your work is beautiful and inspiring to all of us, and we truly look forward to more from you in the future! Keep those gorgeous pieces coming!
Thanks Wesley for this interview :)

Recently, there was an interview about me on the net. I was asked to show three of my photos that I liked and tell why I liked them. I also told how and why I do my photography in the way that I do. You can read the full interview at this web address:
Not a good dress attire because the tie make it too funerally. If he change his tie to a color print , he may be able to pull this suit off for and interview.
"I've just got back from a University interview, it was for a course to study song writing and contemporary composing. I got the place so I'm pretty chuffed. I like the idea of spending my days writing and composing, it's about getting your feelings out. At the moment all I'm feeling is teenage angst, but maybe in a few years, after a hair cut, I'll feel some real emotions"
"Is the hair holding you back?"
"Yeah, it's dragging me down"
"There's an emotion...What do you want to accomplish with this course?"
"I just want my work, in whatever form it takes, to be out there really. It must be a satisfying but surreal feeling, giving something to others simply from a song. I'm fully aware that there's a better chance that it's not going to happen rather than becoming hugely successful from it. Music is such an accessible medium these days and there's more and more people doing it. I've seen people become conceited over it. I just think that it's important to not kid yourself, there's always going to be someone who's going to be equally good or better at than you so it's about being grounded and working on those things which make you happy and you enjoy.”
Kristen Stewart on the cover of interview mag.
The first decade of the 21st century, which is about to draw to a close, is in serious danger of being remembered as the time when fame was measured in pokes, tweets, and the ability to parlay a death-defying (and sometimes not so death-defying) degree of persona recklessness into a reality-television deal. But just as the door was about to slam shut on the double aughts, in walks—or, more appropriately, saunters—Kristen Stewart.
At 19, Stewart has already earned a place in the annals of pop-culture history. This is due to her starring role in Twilight, which—in case you’ve somehow managed to elude word of its all-encompassing death grip on young America—is a film based on the first in a series of very popular books about vampires, werewolves, and teenage life in the town of Forks, Washington. Stewart’s character, Bella Swan, is a newcomer to Forks who is forced to cope with the dueling pressures of starting life at a new school and the fact that her prospective boyfriend, the rakish Edward Cullen (played by the rakish Robert Pattinson), is a 104-year-old undead bloodsucker.
Given Twilight’s preoccupation with the timeless themes of misunderstood youth, troubled young love, and the intervening forces of darkness, the film’s success isn’t all that surprising. (To date, it has grossed more than $380 million worldwide.) Nor is the fact that more Twilights are in the offing: A second installment, New Moon, hits theaters in November, and a third, Eclipse, is due out next year. But the growing size and complexity of the Twilight machine has had some unavoidable implications:
In the last 12 months, Stewart has become a tabloid regular and a blog-stalked cynosure. The fact that her Twilight character is romantically linked to Pattinson’s in the film has also fueled nonstop speculation that they are involved in real life. BUYING A HOUSE? and GETTING MARRIED? were just a couple of the early autumn headlines. Between filming Twilight sequels, Stewart did a turn as Joan Jett in Floria Sigismondi’s new rock-band biopic The Runaways; even her hair for the film—which was chopped and dyed to mimic Jett’s late-’70s shag—inspired reams of media critique.
Stewart grew up in Los Angeles in a Hollywood family of sorts—her mother is a script supervisor, and her father is a stage manager—and as a kid announced her interest in working in front of the camera. Her second film, David Fincher’s 2002 thriller, Panic Room, in which she played Jodie Foster’s too-quick, too-wise, too-over-it daughter, proved an early indicator of her ability to play young, smart, but not precocious. Her performance in more left-of-center projects such as Sean Penn’s Into the Wild (2007) and this year’s Adventureland has only reinforced that notion. But if there’s a thread that runs through her relatively small body of work, it’s one that’s closely connected to the idea that you don’t have to be old to have soul. With Stewart, you don’t get 19-going-on-35. What you do get is a visceral window into what it means to be young and struggling to make sense of your own life and the world around you—and all the alternating waves of darkness and confusion and brightness and possibility that come with that. In many ways, it’s the unwritten nature of Stewart’s own story now, with its surreal subplots and recent twists and turns, that makes her compelling to watch. It’s true that she might very well be a rebel anodyne to many of her bleached and sprayed-on contemporaries. Or, like Bella Swan, she might just be someone who comes from somewhere, found her way into something exceptional, and is on her way to someplace else. Either way, she’s got a solid arc.
In celebration of Interview’s 40th anniversary, we askedactor, director, writer, and photographer Dennis Hopper—whose connection to the magazine reaches across all fourdecades—to handle the interviewing duties for this cover story. He graciously obliged. He spoke to Stewart, who was shooting Eclipse in Vancouver, from the set of his cable series, Crash, in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
DENNIS HOPPER: Before we start, I have a little six-year-old daughter here who’s going crazy right now because you’re on the phone. Could I just put her on for a second to say hello?
KRISTEN STEWART: Yeah, sure.
HOPPER: Okay, her name is Galen. [hands phone]
GALEN HOPPER: Hi!
STEWART: Hi! How are you?
GALEN: Good.
STEWART: It’s really nice to meet you, Galen. [pause] Hello?
GALEN: Hi!
HOPPER: [takes phone] She’s so excited.
STEWART: Wow, that made me so nervous!
HOPPER: It made you nervous?
STEWART: Yeah. I’m just sort of intimidated by kids. I didn’t know what to say.
HOPPER: Well, thank you for doing that. So how are you doing?
STEWART: I’m pretty good. I’m not very good at interviews, but this is a trip. Why in god’s name did you want to do this? You have no idea how cool this is for me.
HOPPER: Well, you’re a really good actress. And my daughter is your biggest fan, so I thought, What the hell? [laughs] I usually don’t do this, either. But you must be going through a lot right now, the way Twilight is hitting. You must have no peace at all.
STEWART: The sad thing is that I feel so boring because Twilight is literally how every conversation I have these days begins—whether it’s someone I’m meeting for the first time or someone I just haven’t seen in a while. The first thing I want to say to them is, “It’s insane! And, as a person, I can’t do anything!” But then I think to myself, God damn it, shut the fuck up.
HOPPER: [both laugh] You know, you’re giving really wonderful performances. Since you didn’t know you’d be making sequels when you were making the first Twilight, has it been difficult for you to get back into character for these new ones?
STEWART: I’ve actually always been interested in following a character more long term, but the only place to really do that as an actor is on a TV series. But the Twilight series is cool because you know what’s ahead of you—all of the books have been written. And I get breaks in between. It’s sort of a depressing thing to lose a character just when you’ve been able to get to know her. Usually, at the end of a film it’s like I’ve finally gotten to know this person completely, and then we’re done. That actually happened on the set of Twilight, and then it happened again on New Moon. Each time my character Bella became a different person, and I got to know that person and take her to the next level.
HOPPER: Have you been able to enjoy it? Or do you feel more pressure doing these sequels?
STEWART: I do feel more of a pressurized strain than what is typical for me. Usually, what drives you is your own personal responsibility to the script and the character and the people you are working with. But in this case, I have a responsibility not only to that but to everyone who has personal involvement in the books—and now that spans the world. It’s an insane concept. There are certain things in Twilight . . . As much as I’m proud of that movie and I do like it, I feel like maybe I brought too much of myself to the character. I feel like I really know Bella now. But most readers feel like they know Bella because it’s a first-person narrative. She’s like a little vessel and everyone experiences the story through her. All of these girls who are fans personally feel like they encapsulate that character. So it’s like, “How the hell am I going to do that for all of them? It’s impossible!” But I’ve decided, if you’re just unabashedly honest all of the time, you have nothing to be ashamed of.
HOPPER: These Twilight books have some dark material.
STEWART: But the movies aren’t that dark, as much as we’d all have loved to have made those films. But as pretty as it is to watch and as nice as it is to have watched these two characters find solace in each other, everything around them is absolute chaos. I mean, you have to question their motivations—to watch two people so unhealthily devoted to each other . . . I stand behind everything that they do. I have to justify it in my mind, or else I couldn’t play the character. But they are definitely not the most pragmatic characters. The weirdest fucking themes run through this story—like dominance and masochism. I mean, you always have to realize that the story needs to make sense to the 11-year-olds who read the book and aren’t necessarily going to be viewing a scene as foreplay. But then there is the other segment of the audience—a large percentage—who does see the scene as foreplay. And it’s pretty deep, heady foreplay. [laughs] So it’s fun to play it both ways. I mean, I don’t know what it feels like to make out with my vampire boyfriend because it isn’t something that anybody has ever felt. But it’s funny to think that a lot of the audience is 10 years old and will maybe one day grow up to realize there are a lot of involved thoughts in Twilight that they didn’t see before.
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.
HOPPER: Does it bother you to see yourself in the tabloids?
STEWART: There’s nothing you can do about it, to be honest. I don’t leave my hotel room—literally, I don’t. I don’t talk to anybody about my personal life, and maybe that perpetuates it, too. But it’s really important to own what you want to own and keep it to yourself. That said, the only way for me not to have somebody know where I went the night before is if I didn’t go out at all. So that’s what I’m trading. It depends what mood I’m in. Some nights, I think, “You know what? I don’t care. I’m just going to do what I want to do.” Then the next day I think, “Ugh.Now everyone thinks I’m going out to get the attention.” But it’s like, no, I actually, for a second, thought that maybe I could be like a normal person.
HOPPER: I was looking at all the films you’ve done, and you’ve worked with some extraordinarily talented people: Patricia Clarkson—god, she’s a great actress—and Jodie Foster. Just really wonderful people. And your performances are very different. You started when you were nine years old. You wanted to act, right? It wasn’t like you were forced into it because your parents were in the industry?
STEWART: No. Not at all.
HOPPER: Because Dean Stockwell is one of my best friends, and he has horror stories about acting when he was a kid. But you wanted to do this, right?
STEWART: It’s a weird thing to expect a child that young to say what they want to do, like act. I’m not sure it was a natural inclination for me either, but it was something that I fell into. To be honest, I had fun at first. It was the first thing I ever thrived at. My parents are crew. They were both baffled that I wanted to act. But they support anything that me and my brothers want to do. It was something I thought was fun because I grew up on sets. And then a few years later, I grew up and acting became very different to me. I think I was about 13.
HOPPER: Did you study with anyone? Or did you just pick it up through association?
STEWART: No, I just walked into it.
HOPPER: You learned it there. That’s the best place to learn. I saw Panic Room again last night.
STEWART: Really? I haven’t seen that in so long. That was the second movie I ever made. Thank god Jodie Foster did that movie because I wasn’t thinking about anything on that set. I was literally just hanging out with her and being myself. I can’t think about watching that—it would kill me. It would be like watching a home movie.
HOPPER: But you’re so good in it. Did you go to school while you were working as a kid?
STEWART: I went to public school up until junior high. I know it’s a little late and I’m a little old, but I just finished high school—with honors. The other day I was doing a graduation scene on Eclipse, and I had just finished high school myself the week before, so I told the crew, “Hey, just so you know, I’m actually graduating right now, and I’m not going to have another ceremony.” So I took a mock picture with an extra. I literally asked the actor to come back and shake my hand and hand me the diploma while I was dressed in a cap and gown.
Fanning, and he knows her as well, so it was cool. I actually hadn’t seen him in a couple of years. So it was sort of a trip because I’m different and he’s not. You know what I’m saying?

I - Interviewer
S - Sharidan
I: It's nice to see you Sharidan!
S: The pleasure is all mine!
I: So let's talk about your experience in BTNM.
S: Okay, what would you like to know?
I: Well.. How was it of cousre? Haha
S: Oh! I feel so embarrased now, I'm so sorry! Haha. It was great! One of the most wonderful things that I could have ever experienced!
I: That's great to know! Now, how did you get along with the other girls in the house?
S: I didn't really interact with any of the other girls to be honest, I just sort of kept to myself. I did however become friends with Emma half way through the competion wich was a surprise to me, because I thought she hated me. xD but I was obviously wrong.
I: That's also great! We've heard that there was a girl in the house that may or may not have hated you, would you care to explain?
S: Sure, Well I had just gotten first call-out for my 'Disturbia' Photo after being in the bottom two the week before with my "Wind-Swept' Photo, and I had felt great about it, until one of the other girls, Ariiana, started saying that I didn't deserve my placing, which I took as an insult and it really lowered my self esteem.. but I didn't want to really talk about it around the other girls, but a couple of weeks later Ariiana, Emma, and I had gotten into a huge arguement over the call-out for the 'Floral Royalty' photoshoot and I kind of let what I was feeling slip out, I sort of lost control, and started blurting out stuff that I would never usually say, and I felt horrible about it..
I: Interesting! Have you and Ariiana worked everything out? and what about Emma and Ariiana, are they alright now?
S: It's kind of hard to tell, I think Ariiana and I are alright now, but I can't really say much for Emma, you'd just have to ask her herself.
I: Ah, I see. Well now I think it's time for the question everyone has been waiting for, How did it feel when you realized you had won, and became BNTM?
S: At first I didn't believe I had won, I stared at the screen in shock for like 5 minutes, and then it hit me, and by it I meant Emma! LOL! But don't worry it was just a friendly punch in the arm, although it did leave a huge bruise.. o.o
I: Haha! That's great! So how are you and Emma? Still Friends?
S: Yes we are! We've been contacting eachother online, and by phone, we plan to meet up soon and do something fun! :)
I: Awesome! Well that pretty much wraps up just about everything. Congrats on winning BNTM!
S: Thank you so much, and thanks for having me! :)
