A look back at some celebrity praise Kristen Stewart has gotten over the years

 “Stewart has braved more scrutiny of her private life than most presidents. She has taken big career risks by doing films like Welcome to the Rileys, The Runaways and On the Road (nudity, I hear). She has worked her ass off. Whatever Snow White may be, Kristen is a warrior queen. Give her the crown.”Huffington Post “She’s ambitious.I like that obsessive determination she has to be herself. She’s amazing. She takes the things she says too seriously, kind of like the opposite of me.”Caprichio Magazine (via) "I get mistaken [for Kristen] all the time … It's all over the Internet. I can definitely see the resemblance. We have a similar shaped chin and we're both dark under our eyes with similar lips. I've been recognized for her before. Fans will come up to me and say, 'Oh, I loved you in Twilight' and ask for an autograph. One woman came up to me crying so hard -- absolutely sobbing. I was so confused. I thought, 'Did you see [my film with Adam Sandler] Bedtime Stories or something?’ Then she was just going nuts about Twilight … I'm not sick of them. It's all flattering. What I love about Kristen Stewart is she is so edgy and so plays it against the norm. It's very refreshing to see an actress like that really get into the fact that she is different from everybody else and that's just the way she is. I've never met her but I love watching her onscreen. I think there is something dark and sexy about her. I think she is fiercely talented as well."MovielineView the list »
