Kristen Stewart Opens Up About Negative Reputation

— -- "Twilight" star Kristen Stewart is not a fan of her reputation as "unapproachable."

"When I hear that people are intimidated or they think that I'm like reposed or unapproachable or something, that actually, I hate it!" she told Vanity Fair at the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival earlier this week.

"I'm always like, 'Dude, come up and say anything to me, I'd love to engage with you,'" she added, while talking about her new film "Equals."

The 25-year-old actress was specifically addressing her reputation as a tough interview with the media. Stewart's candid response came after Vanity Fair's Krista Smith, who has worked with the actress for years and whom she has a great rapport with, mentioned how "powerful" the young actress was and that she has such a presence.

"I'm terrified, that's the thing," she countered.

Later she said, "Anybody who might perceive me as guarded in a given context, typically speaking it would be a really superficial, fleeting interview that means nothing to me. Therefore, I cannot fully invest myself in it, because it would be a lie. And so it's like, I'm actually kind of working against myself in this weird way. It comes across as the opposite. But really what I'm dying to do as an actor and as a person all the time, is to reveal myself."

She explained why she might not act engaged or it comes across as different than what most people and the media are used to.

"I have a really strong aversion to feeling subject to something that doesn't feel real to me. And then all of a sudden I get weird," she said, making a strange noise. "So, I kind of put off this opposite thing."

Stewart actually said she is very "mood oriented" and always wants to have honest conversations with anyone who is talking to her at any given time.

"Even if it's for five minutes" in an interview, she said. "I'm an over-sharer, so to keep things in is something I'm familiar with."

But she explains, given her intense fame, it's hard.

In the Vanity Fair interview, Stewart stressed how great it was to work on "Equals," a movie purely about human emotions.
