Kristen Interview from Front Row at Balenciaga
Foggy weather muddled the view from the 27th floor of a Paris office tower, where Balenciaga staged its fall-winter fashion show. But “Twilight” actress Kristen Stewart — among the VIP guests — shrugged it off. “My horizon is very clear,” she enthused, noting she’s taking a break from shooting after wrapping several movies, including Walter Salles’ “On the Road.” “I have five days off,” she said. “I know a lot of people here now. I’m probably going to hang out with my boys from ‘On the Road.’”Source: WWD | Via KStewartnews
Christina Ricci Talks About Rob with 'The Irish Times'
The fragrant Robert Pattinson plays the cynical accidental journalist whose adventures drive the plot of Bel Ami. They must have had some interesting conversations about the pressures that early success can bring. There are few idols more hotly pursued than the star of the Twilight films.“He’s wonderful,” she says. “He’s handling everything very well. He never brought any of what he was going through to the set. He was always incredibly well prepared, very professional and a very great actor. I loved working with him. We joked a lot. Made fun of each other and had a great laugh.”
Did she have advice for him? “Not really. He seems to be handling it all very well. I can’t imagine being as famous as he is.”

Jennifer Lawrence Mentions Kristen in Glamour Interview
But the former H and M model might have trouble making incognito high street shopping trips if she becomes as famous as Twilight star Kristen Stewart.
‘I look at Kristen Stewart now and I think, “I’d never want to be that famous”,’ she says. ‘I can’t imagine how I’d feel if all of a sudden my life was pandemonium.
‘But I love my job. I can take months off, and I get a lot of money – way more money than any 21-year-old should have – so what is there really to complain about?’

FULL New Rob Interview with "The Sunday Times"
"The world’s favourite vampire is in Berlin for a whirlwind visit and,
true to bloodsucking type, Robert Pattinson isn’t eating. Tonight, he
will do the red-carpet thing for the world premiere of his new film, Bel
Ami, but in the private hotel lounge allocated for this interview —
“This is classy,” he comments as he strolls in — he barely makes a dent
in the chicken salad he has ordered, despite his professed hunger.
Pattinson isn’t known for playing characters who do much smiling or laughing, either, so the first thing to notice is how readily he does both in person. Decked out in a black-grey ensemble and sporting a new cropped haircut under his black cap, he has barely sat down, with a pack of Camels by his side, before he’s folded up in mirth, talking about the KitKatClub, a notorious Berlin sex joint, and his desire to patronise it with his family. Is he joking? I hope not. “I was telling my dad about it last night, and he sounded really into it. ‘I’m coming over — let’s go to the orgy club.’ ”
The 25-year-old actor has been to Berlin many times. One of the best holidays he ever had was a stay in the east when he was 17, “before it was so gentrified”, frequenting bars that took up illegal residence in abandoned buildings. Such footloose times are seemingly in the past for the star of Twilight, although his desire to hit the KitKatClub may indicate otherwise. The other observation to make is that Pattinson is a very handsome man, but his face is less wide and flat than the camera makes it appear. And there are enough imperfections to separate him from the standard Hollywood pretty boy.
Nobody wants to see a dickhead succeed — that’s why I wanted to do it
It is easy to see why he is ideal casting as a heart-throb vampire, but equally why he got the role of Georges Duroy, the insatiable money-and-lust monster at the heart of Bel Ami. This adaptation of Guy de Maupassant’s belle époque novel marks the directing debut of two of our most acclaimed theatre practitioners — Declan Donnellan and Nick Ormerod, the founders of Cheek by Jowl. Of the projects Pattinson has chosen with the Twilight safety net in place, the first two, Remember Me (2010) and Water for Elephants (2011), were unadventurous romantic excursions, unlikely to perturb even the most rabid Twihard. Bel Ami is where it gets interesting.
Georges Duroy is essentially the anti-Edward Cullen, an opportunistic cad who deploys sex for ruthless gain, screwing people — literally, in the case of the rich society wives played by Uma Thurman, Christina Ricci and Kristin Scott Thomas — on his rise from impoverished soldier to powerful Parisian. Cullen is the charming, soulful vampire who gets the girl; Duroy is the charming, soulless parasite who gets everything but his own comeuppance. Pattinson nails his repellent, empty charm, sneering as he seduces.
Sticking closely to the Maupassant source is one of the many strengths of Donnellan and Ormerod’s gorgeously realised vision, and Pattinson admits that tweaking Twilight-fuelled preconceptions was an original lure. “But my ideas about it changed as I was doing it,” he says. “Georges keeps getting beaten down by the world, but he never learns. He succeeds because of the bad points of his personality. Nobody wants to see a dickhead succeed — that’s why I wanted to do it.”
For their part, Donnellan and Ormerod are predictably effusive about their star: the former praises his “passionate attachment to us” during the film’s difficult financing, and credits him with “edge and intelligence”. “There’s a huge difference between Georges and Rob,” Donnellan says. “Georges rises to the top with no talent. Rob has masses of it.” (Donnellan sees Bel Ami as a parable on modern celebrity culture.) They also attribute the idea for a five-week theatre-style rehearsal process to the actor, a savvy move that allowed him to soak up their reservoir of knowledge about performance and period. He showed up every day for 10 or 11 hours. “I ended up doing mime and crazy improvisations, because you run out of stuff to do,” he says. “One day, Holliday [Grainger, his co-star] and I ran around screaming at each other for four hours.” Pattinson can’t articulate how the process fed into his performance, although when he arrived on set in Budapest in February 2010, he was worried he had overcooked it.
Meanwhile, Ormerod and Donnellan were taking the baby steps that come with being debut film-makers. The former focused on the design tapestry, the latter on the actors. Pattinson recalls them putting a row of audience heads at the bottom of the monitor, but the graceful storytelling they bring to Bel Ami bodes well for their move from stage to cinema. “We’re now rather bitten, I’m afraid,” Donnellan says.
Published in 1885, Maupassant’s masterpiece was shocking in its day. The author knew he was on borrowed time while writing this, his second novel — he eventually succumbed to syphilis — and it is infected by a spirit of nihilistic hedonism, of indulging base instincts while you can because, as the antireligious Duroy puts it: “This is the only life; there’s nothing after.” Pattinson wishes they had kept a shot near the end where Georges turns to a crucifix and thanks God for his good fortune. “It was done in the most blasphemous way,” he says, “thinking of God as Father Christmas, which was funny. There’s a lot of misery in the movie. It’s not as funny as I thought it was going to be.”

Rob & Declan Donnellan Talks About 'Bel Ami' with the HeraldScotland
Twilight made him a heartthrob ... and Robert Pattison is ramping up his sexual adventures in his new film which is previewed at Glasgow Film Festival. He talks to Will Lawrence
'There are lots of attractive women in the film," says Robert Pattinson of his latest screen release, Bel Ami.
"Christina Ricci, Uma Thurman and Kristen Scott Thomas..." He pauses before flashing a smile. "And I sleep with all of them!"
After five years cocooned in a teenage Twilight world of angst, anger, vampires and werewolves (in which sleeping with people is a complicated process), the 25-year-old Englishman clearly enjoyed this romp through 19th-century Paris.
Perhaps the best known of the six novels by French short story writer Guy de Maupassant, Bel Ami is certainly his most subversive, savage and ironic piece, charting the tale of Georges Duroy, a young man who travels through 1890s' Paris, from cockroach-plagued garrets to magnificent salons, employing his wits and beauty as he bids to rise from poverty to fame.
The story comes to the big screen in March — previewed by early screenings at the Glasgow Film Festival later this month — courtesy of theatre directors Declan Donnellan and Nick Ormerod, who have put together a piece that resonates strongly today, regardless of its period setting.
"This character uses sex and women's huge attraction for him to get to the top of the pile," says Donnellan of Duroy. "It's an unremitting world and, in the end, he gets the lot. There are no consequences for him. People think it's very modern, somebody getting to the top with very little talent. Duroy has an enormous desire to get to the top, and that is his talent. It's about incredibly modern themes. That's one of the thrills of doing this story. It is set in 1890s' Paris but it would almost be too near to the bone to do it now."
To bring the laconic and lovely-looking Duroy to life, the directors turned to Twilight star Pattinson, one of the most desired men on the planet, whose real-life journey, while not quite mirroring the lothario lifestyle of his character, has certainly benefited from his exquisite good looks.
"My Bel Ami guy doesn't have a conscience," explains Pattinson. "Most fictional characters are driven by some target, but he is like a reverse character. He's so content to do nothing and thinks everything should just be given to him. But if someone slights him, or directs any insult at him, the most overwhelming energy grabs him and he turns into this absolute devil who will do anything."
An attack on the invidious French society of the time, the Maupassant story is dark and rather disturbing in places, but few could argue with its no-holds-barred candour.
"It's like in Giant," Pattinson continues, referring to the 1956 George Stevens picture starring James Dean, "when he builds the entire empire to say 'f*** you'. Duroy is exactly like that but without any of the redeeming characteristics. The whole story is about these people trying to beat him down into remorse, and just as he's about to touch it, something good happens to him again.
"And then he has another run of luck, right at the end, until eventually he stabs everyone in the back and then wins the lottery. It's a happy ending for him and no-one else."
Given the contrast between the caddish Duroy and Pattinson's chivalrous Twilight character, Edward Cullen, it's tempting to think that the actor has selected Bel Ami as a conscious bid to show his range, to prove that there's more to his make-up than a fiendish pout and excellent hair.
"Doing something like Twilight opens doors and it closes others. You can say, 'Oh if I was still unknown, then no-one would judge me,' but at the same time, nobody would give a s*** either." He laughs. "It's a weird little balance. And, most of the time, you are just completely guessing what people do, so I suppose doing scripts that you think are good is the way to go. And that's what I thought about Bel Ami.
'With Bel Ami, though, I guess there is something quite fun about going from Edward Cullen to playing a guy who pretty much abuses women to get money out of them.
"Edward so wouldn't approve! So, yes, I thought that was a funny irony. But the story, independently, is great, and I only thought about the irony afterwards. The thing that stands out in the story in Bel Ami is just his behaviour —the women that he manages to screw over are all attracted to him to begin with and so he starts having affairs with them and destroys their lives afterwards. That's kind of nuts. But, to answer your question, I don't think about doing things just because they are different from Twilight, no. Honestly, Bel Ami was just such an intriguing film."

NEW Interview with Kristen Talking about "Breaking Dawn", the BD Wedding and More
With
the 'Twilight' films having transformed Kristen Stewart and its young
cast into international superstars, Kirsten Stewart talks about filming
'Breaking Dawn, Part 1,' the next-to-last film of The Twilight Saga.
To accommodate everyone’s busy schedule, the decision was made to film
the last Twilight book, Breaking Dawn, as one film and release it as
two. With Breaking Dawn, Part 2 scheduled for release later this year
(November 17), the Bill Condon-directed Breaking Dawn, Part 1 hits
streets in a couple of weeks (February 11).
In the romantic, terrifying and danger-packed Breaking Dawn, Part 1, the human beauty Bella (Stewart) and her vampire beau Edward, (Robert Pattinson, allegedly her boyfriend in real life), tie the knot and have a supernatural baby.
While they are happy being husband and wife and first-time parents, Bella and Edward soon find out that the birth of their child has put them all in danger. In causes many unforeseen complications, the most shocking and unexpected is with Bella’s one-time werewolf love interest Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner).
In New York to chat about Breaking Dawn, Part 1, Stewart talks about the difficulties of shooting two movies back-to-back, if she feels like an iconic character, her beautiful wedding in the film, how she lost her baby weight so quickly, why she likes inspiring, her next film project about Snow White and her feelings towards Bella after playing her for several films.
ONE-ON-ONE WITH KRISTEN STEWART...
Kristen, you look sane and normal today. What we had from Bill Condon you had a crazy life playing a virgin in the morning, delivering a baby in the afternoon, talk about the trials and tribulations? Also, Bella's become a huge pop culture character. How does it compare to playing Snow White?
Kristen:
"Shooting two movies at the same time, with no regard to -- it wasn't something we were initially concerned about. Scheduling wise, it really was -- everywhere in each day like Bill said. I think what that gave me was that -- she's thinking, she's always looking into the future and what she's going to achieve. Or she's feeling bad about what she wants. She's very much in her own head. Being able to play a vampire, a human, a pregnant woman -- literally sometimes in the day.. it helped remind me that it all was equally important. Everything felt very close. If we did it more systematically, it wouldn't have been the same. It was so overwhelming that it was a good thing."

And what about being an iconic character?
Kristen: "As for the iconic role, I guess the only actual comparison is that they really both are matriarchs. Very strong that need to find their position. But it's so different (Snow White VS Bella). Snow White was really never.. I didn't grow up on fairy tales. I didn't grow up with Twilight."
You've had great success away from the Twilight movies How have you avoided being typecast?
Kristen: "I've done pretty -- the movies I've done in between, I'm really lucky they've been very different. Not just because I meant them to be. They just happened to be very attractive to me. Right now is the first time I haven't worked and not known what I was going to be doing. I want to have time off to figure out what my interests are.
I want to really figure out what I REALLY want to do."
Are you drawn to low profile projects to avoid that kind of Twilight buzz?
Kristen: "No, it has nothing to do with the profile."
Kristen: "No, it has nothing to do with the profile."
It looked like you lost a lot of weight when you were pregnant.
Kristen: "Digital. We didn't have time for me to do that for the role.
That's so cool that you believe it looks so genuine. I feared people
wouldn't like it. It did make me feel like, 'Uh, I hope you guys do a
good job making me look that thin!'"
What was going through your mind in the wedding scene?
Kristen: "I had a million different things going through my head. I kept telling myself 'Stop, stop, stop' I can't ruin it. I was so in the right place to do that I just needed to do it, stand there, walk, see everyone. I know the story so well. Remembering my lines is the last thing I think about. If you know a story so well, the lines just come out if someone asks you/provokes you in the right way. I kept telling myself to find myself in this moment."
You, Taylor (Lautner) and Rob (Pattinson) have been in this since the
beginning. What do the guys bring to the experience?
Kristen: "I couldn't have done -- I guess if you put different numbers
in the equation you'll get a different answer, but I can't imagine doing
this without Rob and Taylor. When I don't see Taylor for a while, I go
(gasp) and take your phone out. When you work with great people like
him, you just love it. We got along and it shows."
Fans tell me you inspire them to be themselves. What do you think about
that?
Kristen: "I love that. I hate when people say "What advice do you want
to give your fans?" Oh God, I don't even know how to explain this.
People that I look up to... you find people in life who have common
interests."
Rob made comments saying the wedding was practically real because you said real vows and you were pretty much married.
Kristen: "The priest couldn't even remember the lines! He'd say our real names. Was he a real minister? I'd like to find out." (laughs)

What are some of the milestones you experienced doing this movie?
Kristen: "This movie does have every mile stone. It crams a lot of
milestones into one movie. It was a unique situation. All of the
imposing elements. Every single time I think about this film, I think
about a cat. In the corner. Claws out. Belly swollen. Stay the fuck away
from me! That's how I relate to the scene. Yeah, lots of milestones.
Heavy, heavy."
What's on your iPod right now?
Kristen: "This is really hilarious. I'm doing Snow White right now. It's really weird being here right now to be honest because I'm so involved in Snow White. Adele's new album is honestly... I've choreographed whole marches with my army behind me. It's really good for the Snow white story, almost too good for it. She's incredible....My regulars.. everyone knows what I listen to already, it's very boring."

She's incredible....My regulars.. everyone knows what I listen to already, it's very boring."
What part of Bella sticks with you?
Kristen: "I 'm not totally sure. I'm pretty wrapped up in her and vise versa. I've always felt you really project yourself onto that character. If you're the type of girl to identify with Bella, you just are her. I'm asked 'So how do you make her different?' I'm like 'Yeah but, I do feel like I am her.' For her, somehow I could not disagree with her ever, and I didn't. We're pretty similar at times, but at times not. Hard to say."

Scans and (Old?) Interview of Rob with "TV Svet" - Slovakia
Before
he became the vampire Edward Cullen, girls hadn’t really turned after
him. Today they pass out even mentioning his name. We talked with the
British actor, Robert Pattinson about filming the last installment of
the Twilight movies, asked him why he never goes to the gym and if he
minds the woman’s attention.
Is London still your home?
It
is. I think it always will be. You can’t replace it. Now I’m away from
it so much, I know that now. I used to live in Soho and I went back
there at Christmas and I don’t know anything there and it’s kind of –
it’s incredibly depressing. It’s such a solid place for you in your
mind. When you go back there it’s completely different. Because when
you’re living here you never think anything changes, it’s always exactly
the same. And then you leave for four years and it’s like nothing is
the same.
What do you miss about London when you’re abroad?
I
miss the newspapers. I love reading the sport section and the news from
the world. It’s better (in London) than here. In US there is only
American news.
What about the internet?
I’ve
never read the news on the internet. I love holding the paper in my
hands in the morning, it’s like a part of everyday life. I use to eat my
breakfast reading the paper, but here they have the wrong size. I love
those broadsheet papers, like The Times. It’s easy to browse.
What happened to your hair? It’s not too short?
Yeah, I had to get it cut for a new movie I am doing. But it will grow back, I hope.
How do you feel about the Twilight Saga coming to an end?
I am sad, of course. It’s been such an adventure, such a ride. I made new incredible friends that will be with me forever.
Share one of your fondest memories with us.
The
honeymoon that we shot in Brazil, that was pretty amazing. I would go
back there if I could. I fell in love with that country.
And one of the not so fun experiences?
Well,
I had to take my shirt off right next to Taylor (Lautner). And I am
sure you all know what a superb specimen that guy is. He makes me look
like such a whimp (laughs).
What is it like to be working with beautiful women on the set of this movie?
It’s
great, it’s really nice being surrounded by hot girls all the time.
It’s the best thing ever. Hey, it’s why I became an actor!
Because
of playing the role of the vampire Edward Cullen you had to wear
contact lenses all the time and you had to be very pale. What was worse?
Oh,
the contact lenses for sure. They were pretty tight, and at times they
were painful too. That’s one thing I won’t be missing much. I don’t mind
being pale. I am British, we are not supposed to tan much in the first
place (laughs).
Do you think you will keep in touch with all the other actors from the movie?
Well,
I hope so. I don’t know if we will all call each other all the time. In
this business, you need to move around so much. It makes it very
difficult to stay in touch with others.
Do you think Breaking Dawn will truly be the end of the Twilight saga?
Wouldn’t
that be funny if they came out with something like “Twilight, Eclipse,
Brunch…” No, I think it’s up to Stephanie. If she wants to write a spin
off or another book, I am game, I am in.
Do you have a favorite scene in this movie?
I
think the birth scene is so different to everything else in the movie.
And also, for a fantasy, it has a young audience, but it goes quite far.
It’s quite graphic.
You
are doing major press events for this movie all over the world. You are
at Comic Con which is a big comic convention. What are the nerdiest
things that you have found out about each other?
I
wouldn’d say Kristen is nerdy. She, literally, is a cooking fan. She’s a
nerd when it comes to cooking. Especially on set. It was bizarre. She’d
be in the trailer and the cooking channel was always on.
What will you miss about your character?
I liked how understanding Edward was. I liked that he was old school. I think that’s cool. I will miss that.
You
have fans all over the planet. Girls and their mothers both love you.
How it feels to look in the mirror and see that man of everyone’s
attention?
It’s
strange. Before Twilight nobody thought I’m good looking. It’s funny
how the world can change and then everyone see you in a different
picture.
Are you creeped out by all the attention you have been getting from the ladies over the years?
I am not creeped out at all by it. You’d just have to be creeped out by women in general, which I am not (laughs).
Do you still go grocery shopping, or it’s not that much of a relaxation anymore?
I
still love to, when I lived in Baton Rouge it was a lot easier, but for
some reason, I don’t know why, I don’t have any time for it now. I’m
working seven days a week, so these days I just kind of can’t do it…
And how you relax?
I don’t. I’m glad to have a few days off, though. Oh, how pathetic that sounds (laughs). I can have a good sleep.
How your dream day off looks like?
I
couldn’t even imagine. I just sit around, I’m like incredibly boring, I
try and watch films, but my concentration now is so short. I watch like
20 minutes of a film and I play this game on the iPhone called Fall
Down. It’s so much fun, it involves absolutely no brain effort from your
brain whatsoever, you just hold this little ball and roll it down. I
can literally sit there and pla it for sixteen hours.
It’s like meditation.
Yeah, and that’s all I do on my day off, I just sit there and get more and more frustrated (laughs).
Do you do sports or anything, work out?
At
the beginning of this last Twilight movie, I was working out quite a
lot because I had to have my shirt off all the time. I was doing that
obsessively and I got into really eating more healthy. I was going to
the gym all the time and cycling everywhere, and I was really into it.
Then as soon as I finished, I just stopped dead. And I haven't gone to
the gym since.
What makes you happy outside working?
I
still love playing the piano. I was in New Orleans the other day and I
was playing with the band from New Orleans Salvation and with a band
earlier, and I was like 'Jesus, why don't I do this anymore?' It was
amazing.
You had a plan to be a pianist, right?
I did, I still love it the same. My favorite is blues.
What have you learnt the last few years?
That you can’t satisfy everyone.
And how did you learn that?
I tried it. (laughs)

New/Old Pictures of Rob Plus Twilight Co-Star Ayanna Berkshire Talks About Rob & Kristen
The scene between you and Kristen and Billy is pretty long. What was it like filming with Kristen? Were you aware of her as an actress before this movie?
Ayanna Berkshire: I was aware of Kristen from Panic Room and she’d been working since such a young age, it was great to talk with her about filmmakers, acting and our mutual acting influences while we were between shots.
It was really interesting filming with Kristen, because she was such a quiet and thoughtful actress. She was very aware of what was happening around her on set, but then she could seamlessly drop into the scene and be fully engaged. She cares a great deal about what she’s creating as an artist and that was really cool to see in her. At the time, she was still 17 (she turned 18 on set, a big deal because it meant that she could work full days and not have to end early due to child labor laws) and she had been around for a long time already. I was impressed because she came across as a very seasoned and extremely professional actress.
Your scene in the movie did not involve Robert Pattinson, but did you see him on set at all during the filming of the movie? Were you familiar with him before this movie?
AyannaBerkshire: I was aware of Robert from Harry Potter: Goblet of Fire and from a small role in Vanity Fair. I met him on set at lunch one day, because he was shooting another scene right after us and we all ended up having lunch together. He was funny, charming and incredibly friendly, really very normal, which comes as no surprise.
Inside story: Two days after that lunch I was back to work at my part time job, I worked in an eyeglass shop in Portland named Visage Eyewear. While I was there, an absolutely adorable British couple came in. We INSTANTLY bonded and I ended up talking with them for close to two hours. About an hour in, I finally asked what brought them to Portland and they told me that they were visiting their son, who was working in town. I asked them what he did for work and they told me he was an actor! “REALLY”, I said. (I get really excited for fellow actors, especially since I know every last one in town), “I’m an actor too!! What’s his name? Is he working on anything at the moment?” That’s when they both got a little quiet, “Oh, he’s working on a movie here…” I took a look at both of them again, took in their accents and it suddenly dawned on me. “Is your son Rob?” I asked. They both got this wide-eyed look on their face like they weren’t sure if they should say yes or no. “I JUST worked with him two days ago!” I said, “I loved him, what a great guy!” They both seemed completely relieved that they could tell their secret without having to say anything. After that, we had an even better time and if I remember correctly, they even brought me ice cream from the ice cream shop across the street. For the record, Robert Pattinson has awesome parents!
During the Wrap party for Twilight, a friend of mine (he played one of the frat boys), Rob and I were all standing around talking. I wanted to do an impromptu photo shoot, where either I was about to bite Rob, or vice versa… it ended in a total fail as neither one of us knew who was supposed to bite who. I hope I’ll be forgiven for sharing this less than flattering pic.*
PP: Did you have any idea, being in the first of a five movie series, that Twilight would become so big and that Robert Pattinson would go on to become as famous as he did?
AB: I think that the success of the movies came as a surprise to everyone. I’d had an idea that they were going to be huge just because EVERYONE seemed to be reading the books!
I think that anyone who played the role of Edward was going to experience mega fandom. Edward, of all the characters was the most untouchable, the most mysterious and the sexiest. To watch that type of character brought to real life by an actor (especially an actor like Robert who is fun, approachable and handsome, but who was still sort of a mystery himself), it becomes this instant gratification. The character was written with such passion that as a reader, you want that passion for yourself. It also didn’t hurt that Robert was coming from Harry Potter and had a built in audience who were already excited to see him in something new.
Few more pictures from that day

Kristen Talks About Dakota (Cosmopolitan Mag)
Cosmopolitan Mag - February 2012 (Dakota Fanning on cover)
Stewart, who became Dakota's friend during filming, says that Dakota's determination was obvious. "We had a few scenes that were crazy intimidating and maybe once or twice, she was like 'Okay, I have a butterfly in my stomach.' Meanwhile, I'm hyperventilating! Sometimes I give her sh*t for being so on the ball."
