Kristen Stewart is always going to be honest, that we can count on. Like many of the characters she plays, the actress is not only a straight shooter, but she is never going to tiptoe around seemingly sensitive topics — including her sexuality.

“I didn’t talk about my first relationships that went public because I wanted things that are mine to be mine,” she told The London Sunday Times. “I hated it that details of my life were being turned into a commodity and peddled around the world. But considering I had so many eyes on me, I suddenly realized [my private life] affects a greater number of people than just me. It was an opportunity to surrender a bit of what was mine, to make even one other person feel good about themselves.”

The actress recently appeared on Saturday Night Live and said she was “like, so gay.”

Dating her Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson was more than she ever bargained for. “When I was dating Rob, the public was the enemy—and that is no way to live. It wasn’t this grand statement, ‘I was so confused! Now I’ve realized who I am!’ I have not been struggling… 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.”

Since late last year, Kirsten has been dating model Stella Maxwell.
