Kristen Stewart has "grown out" of feeling uncomfortably shy
The 'Twilight' star grew up in the spotlight and admits she "used to try too hard" but says her nerves have settled down now.

She said: "I’d definitely lost my nerve. I used to try too hard, because I was nervous. I felt so uncomfortable addressing the public. I’ve just grown out of it."
And whilst her starring role as Bella Swan in the fantasy film series propelled her to fame, Kristen insists she has "never felt bogged down" by the movie and feels it has shaped her "enormously".
She added: "I really never felt bogged down by Twilight ... Every step turns you into the person you are, and yeah, Twilight shaped me enormously. Not just those movies, but the subsequent effect. It made my involvement in Sils Maria more interesting, for sure - ironic and meta.
"I don’t view the whole Twilight blow-up as being generally traumatic. It would take someone with a really unhealthy amount of ego to be upset that everyone doesn’t love them. It would be silly to say I don’t care what people think of my work and who I am, but stuff is polarising, period."
And the 26-year-old actress is keen to "push herself" going into the future.
She told The Sunday Times' Culture magazine: "I want to push myself. In my life, when I’m emotional about something, I’m an extreme person.
"Subtlety is not my go-to. I just don’t want to fake anything, but the best opportunities for me are whenever I feel a little bit scared."
