Kristen Stewart Taking Acting Break, Find Out What She’s Doing Instead

Kristen Stewart will be stepping out of the movie spotlight for a while.

“I’m taking some time off because I’ve been working for two years. I’m an actor and that’s my art form, and because I started that so young, I’ve always felt intimidated and insufficient when I think about other forms of art I want to create. I’m going to take so much time off,” she told USA Today.

The 24-year-old is going to create a space where she can explore her own art.

“I’m going to buy a live-work space in downtown LA and I’m going to make some [stuff] with my hands. Literally, I made that decision a few weeks ago. I’m making a short film. I’m making a bunch of [stuff]. I don’t know how I’ll put it out. But I’m not going to hold it so preciously close to me. I write all the time,” she explained.

The actress, who has seven movies in the pipeline, told the paper, “One thing that will stay with me forever is, I really love work. I love hard work. I’m somewhat OK with the isolation. At times I realize, that’s so not normal. It’s weird but it gives me the opportunity to do what I love.”

Kristen is currently starring a soldier in the Guantanamo Bay set drama “Camp X-Ray,” which is in limited release.
