After the Twilight franchise, which made her internationally famous, her relationship with co-star and then boyfriend Robert Pattinson received intense public attention.

In their efforts to maintain some privacy, the two refused to discuss their relationship with the press, which resulted in some awkward interviews.

"When Rob and I were together, we didn't have an example to follow," the actress tells the British magazine Harper's Bazaar . “They removed us so much that, when trying to control one aspect, we thought 'no, we will never talk about it. Never. Because it is ours. ”

As for the insults, "I try to avoid the word 'uncomfortable'," says Stewart. "I want to claim that word, because it has been used too violently against me."

Now, he says, he just wants to enjoy life, even if that comes with some of the not-so-great moments of fame, such as when people ask what his sexual orientation is.

“I think I just wanted to enjoy my life. And that was above protecting my life, because by protecting it, I was ruining it… Can't you go outside with the person you are with? Can't you talk about that in an interview? I was formed by an old school mentality, which says' if you want to preserve your career, your success and your productivity, and there are people in the world who don't like you, and they don't like you going out with girls, and they don't Like not to identify that date as a date between lesbians, but, in addition, you also do not identify your appointments as dating between heterosexuals. And people like to know things, so what the hell are you?

Stewart doesn't have to answer that question, he adds, and says he hates labels.

“I think we are getting to a place where, I don't know, evolution is something strange. We are all becoming incredibly ambiguous, "he told the publication." And it's something really wonderful. "

But being honest has a price in Hollywood, he says. "I have been told completely, 'if you want to do yourself a favor and don't get out of your girlfriend's hand in public, because that way you could get a Marvel movie," he says. "I don't want to work with people like that."

And he is happy with his options.

"Every day I get older, life becomes easier," he says.
