"Sure, 'Twilight' is really huge right now and everybody's freaking out over it, but it will go away soon and I will be back to doing what I'm used to doing: weird little movies that nobody sees"
About this Quote
The subtext is a negotiation of authenticity under mass attention. Calling her preferred work “weird little movies that nobody sees” isn’t self-pity; it’s a value statement disguised as self-deprecation. “Weird” signals taste and risk. “Little” rejects blockbuster bigness as a measure of worth. “Nobody sees” pokes at the industry’s obsession with visibility, suggesting that obscurity can be a kind of freedom - fewer expectations, less brand management, more room to fail interestingly.
Context matters: late-2000s fandom was loud, intimate, and relentlessly online, and Stewart was cast as both romantic icon and target. This quote reads as boundary-setting before “boundaries” became a standard celebrity script. She frames Twilight as temporary and herself as durable, reclaiming authorship over her career narrative when the franchise threatened to write it for her.
It works because it’s both modest and defiant. She refuses the fairytale of permanent ascent and replaces it with a deliberately unglamorous future - not as a fall from grace, but as a return to craft.
