Kristen Stewart experienced instant fame when she was cast as Bella in the "Twilight" film series. However, she did not let the attention and fame change her and has remained her real self. It was easy to let the fame go to her the head and adopt a new life-style, leaving her old life, but Kristen said that she cannot do that.

In an interview with Vanity Fair France, Kristen Stewart said that she felt it was important for her to take a leave from Hollywood, or at least a vacation from doing movies to enjoy the fruits of her acting successes and to live a "normal" life again. This is the reason why it took her two years after the last instalment of the "Twilight" series, "Breaking Dawn 2" as well as "Snow White and the Huntsman" to do another movie again.

"Seriously, I think that after Twilight and after Snow White and the Huntsman, which were such huge movies, that I felt I didn't want to search for the next "big, successful" thing. One thing that people do with two enormous movies is think that that's their thing now, to do big movies, and ride that wave. I got off this huge wave and said, "I'm going to go in for a bit." I'm going to come back out later. That was good. I needed some time off," Kristen Steward told Vanity Fair France.

The "Twilight" star said that she needed to get in with her friends as well as she felt the need to get away to be in her life. "I needed to like, live in my house and be surrounded by my own shit and play guitar and write," she said.

This response is similar to what she has told in her interview in the September issue of Elle magazine. The star has admitted that she's never been someone who has carefully planned her career because she believes in taking a spontaneous approach.

When asked how she feels now that her "Twilight" days are starting to fade, the actress said to the French magazine, "I may have said when I was in the thick of it that it wasn't going to last forever. It will calm down. But I didn't really believe it. I thought it might just last forever. Now it seems so far away."

"We are only two or three years out and I am fully, fully, fully at the bottom of that massive flight of stairs. I'm out of the building," Kristen Stewart said.
