Kristen Stewart says text messages are kinda ghosts and who are we to argue?
In a way, Kristen Stewart texts you every single day just to see how you're doing. And in another, actually real way, your relationship with Kristen Stewart is completely in your head but still yours to keep.
The actress, who is promoting her new film about a girl haunted by her brother's ghost, Personal Shopper, thinks text messages and social media are pretty much just that -- your projections. And that's fine.
"When you speak to someone on the phone, that is a decipherable, understandable exchange," she explains to V Magazine. "But with text and social media, it’s essentially a dialogue with yourself and your interpretation of a shadow. It’s not invalid; it’s a new language.”
Stewart herself is not on social media and cautions others to avoid its trappings.
“But you also become addicted to that hit by yourself and with yourself, every seven minutes or so, and you end up wasting so much time just validating something very superficial in yourself. It has definitely changed us.”
This is good news, because it means KStew is not reading my glowing tweets about her blazers.
