Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart in David Slade’s The Twilight Saga: Eclipse
Kristen Stewart’s morning press conference at the Twilight Saga: Eclipse convention, which is currently taking place in the Los Angeles suburb of Century City (the old 20th Century Fox backlot), was live-blogged by Daniel Fienberg at hitfix.com.
In addition to learning that Stewart drives a Toyota Tacoma, if you check out Fienberg’s article you’ll get to hear (or read) what the Twilight star had to say about her career as an actress, playing Bella Swan in the Twilight Saga series, and, inevitably, Bella’s choice: Edward (Robert Pattinson) or Jacob (Taylor Lautner)?
Below are a couple of snippets from Fienberg’s lengthy transcript:
11:06 a.m. Is the saga taking over her life? "This is a unique situation," she says, calling it "lucky" and a "serious indulgence." She says, "This is obviously the one role that has put me in this epic position, but it’s just another movie," saying that "I really don’t think about my career in terms of planning it out and what this does for me. This was just a part I really wanted to play and I was lucky to play it for a long time."
11:21 a.m. She’s over-the-moon about doing "On the Road," which was a favorite book of hers. She starts a four-week Beatnik Boot Camp in July in preparation for shooting. She notes that a four-week preparation process is unheard of. She’s noticeably excited for this one, which will be directed by Walter Salles.
And my personal favorite:
11:18 a.m. Kirsten [sic] is listing her favorite designers. My eyes are glazing. I’ll snap out of it in a second.

I was at the Twilight question and answer last night. Kristen was so beautiful in person. Lots of girls were wondering where she got her military jacket. Rob cracks up at everything she says even when it’s not that funny. He stared at her half the night, even when she was looking at Taylor.
She is a great Bella and I’m sad to see it coming to an end. I keep hearing that her next movie is a big deal so I’m going to try and read the book this summer. I’m so glad the press and fans showed Kristen o much love. It was loud and I can’t hear good in one ear, but it was worth it to see all three on stage. It’s cool that she drives a truck just like Bella Swan.
