Stewart: 'Twilight would drive me mad'

WENN

Twilight actress Kristen Stewart has claimed that she would "go mad" if she was restricted to playing her role as Bella Swan in the film franchise.

The 19-year-old star has complemented her commitment to the movie adaptations of Stephenie Meyer's novels by appearing in a number of other projects, including forthcoming Joan Jett biopic The Runaways.

Stewart told EW: "It would've been smart to take some time off too, but I'm really glad I did Runaways. If it was Twilight all the time, I would go mad. To just play one character for four years, it's not what I do. I like to have variation. I like to change it up."

She continued: "To live one experience, it would be like I have this weird alter ego, alternate life, instead of slipping into a character for six weeks, sucking it dry, and leaving. It would be like four years of living like a f**king psycho person, thinking that I'm like Bella. You know what I mean?

"It would just be impossible for me. The tabloids would have a lot of crazy s**t to say about me in that case."

Stewart recently walked away with the choice actress drama prize at the Teen Choice Awards for her work on Twilight.
