Kristen Stewart Says New Role Is 'Stark Contrast' To 'Twilight'

In Kristen Stewart's new movie, "The Yellow Handkerchief," she plays Martine, a girl very different from Bella Swan.

"I mean, I think that Martine is definitely ... I think the stark contrast is that she's incredibly closed off and not really open to people," she told MTV News. "Because she's sort of, like, the type of girl who's put herself out there wanting to be, like, the type of girl who can smile and be in the middle of everything and has been shot down so many times that she's, like, gone cocoon-style."

In the flick, Martine is a lonely, troubled teen with a knack for getting into trouble, who eventually hits the road with other lonely souls like the intriguing young Gordy (Eddie Redmayne), an ex-convict (William Hurt) and the woman he hopes to win back (Maria Bello).

While Martine shuts down instead of taking the kinds of leaps Bella does, Stewart admits that it's Bella's willingness to be so open to life and love that she loves so much. "And I don't feel like Bella's like that, even remotely," she explained. "I feel like she's almost unaware of people's opinions of her, which is what I really like about her."

However, Stewart admitted that because the roles are so different, it's pretty hard to compare them. "But it's like comparing people," she said. "You can't say one person has more range, or that they have to go through more."

i can deffo imagine her saying all that stuff. moving her hair out of her face, and flicking her eyes up and down, and taking pauses.
she's sooo perfect (L) aha

haha awakward you mean but it's who she is, it'd be weird seeing her all confident and clear spoken in interviews, its her charm x

lol yes. awkward and perfect. like when she was getting her BAFTA. it was so awkward, and tbh, i don't think she'd be as interesting if she spoke the way everyone wants her to. she's different and i'd hate her to change

it would be wrong of her to change, it's just who and how she is, and that's why her fans adore her so much and she's honest x

yeah. she seems so 'real'. like the fame of twilight hasn't got to her, she's so down to earth. i'd love to be friends with somebody like that. it would be such a great friendship. (L)

she is cool be an awesome friend, but toooooo skinny to be friends with, haha xxx

lol i know right! i'd be so jealous. she's so pretty and skinny and funny. we'd end up arguing all the time, because she's too perfect :L

same, i would feel even crapper about myself, hehe x

lol same!! but i bet it would be such an experience. she should do a competition. BEST FRIEND FOR A WEEK. i would love that!
