Biografia

Is one of only two American actors to win a César Award in France, the French equivalent to the Oscar. The other one is Adrien Brody.

Prior to filming The Runaways: Garotas do Rock (2010), she worked closely with Joan Jett to perfect her mannerisms, stage presence, vocal tone, attitude and musical skill. Jett later praised Stewart for her dedication and overall performance stating the portrayal made her proud.

In preparation for her role as a runaway stripper-prostitute in Corações Perdidos (2010), Stewart learned how to pole dance, deprived herself of sleep, chain-smoked and ate mostly junk food. As a result, her body and legs were covered with bruises, her skin was blemished and she constantly looked tired.

Did most of her own stunts for her role as Snow White in Branca de Neve e o Caçador (2012).

Stewart plays the acoustic guitar and electric guitar, as well as the trumpet. She also enjoys photography as a hobby.

On working on O Quarto do Pânico (2002) with such a big name star as Jodie Foster: When I got Panic Room, I'm like "Oh my God, that's huge! It's bigger than huge." I was kind of freaked out at first.

(on her love for acting) I love it because I love to tell stories. I like being in movies that have a great story. I'm not so interested in being a Hollywood star. It's a job, you know. When you wake up at six in the morning every day for a week, it feels like hard work.

I don't want to make movies for kids, and I don't want to make movies for adults either.

Acting is such a personal thing, which is weird because at the same time it's not. It's for the consumption of other people. But in terms of creative outlets and expressing yourself, it's just the most extreme version of that that I've ever found. It's like running, it's exertion. When you reach that point where you can't go anymore and you stop and you take a breath, it's that same sort of clearing of the mind.

A lot of actors think that what we do is so important, like we're saving people's lives or something.
