In the Library with Kristen Stewart - CHANEL and Literature

[@o0pusteblume0o]

I always knew her taste in books was immaculate. But man, I love her talking about literature with such passion.

[@billrympalski1712]

I agree!!!

[@edyr]

Kristen Stewart is very important right now and like hundreds of years

[@niacole405]

She is such a genius.😊

[@TheSpiritOfTheTimes]

Yuval Harari is a terrible pick. Bad scholarship, books for people waiting at the airport.

[@dimplethakar]

the way she talks about books is so passionate, all the minute details she's expressing about each piece of literature she's come across. and she's so comfortable. like she is being herself, casually talking about her favorite books. shows she genuinely loves reading. one of her best interviews.

[@DarkRuins]

she is so much more intellectual, intelligent, and deep than the media can ever give her credit for. would LOVE to spend days, weeks, months, just pouring through books with her.

[@softpencil8738]

Most women in entertainment have been portrayed like this throughout time. It’s what men decided about portraying women like since the beginning of time.

[@Cactina]

To be fair to the media, Kristen Stewart is a REVELATION in this interview! Who has ever heard her and seen her this passionate!!! What a revelation!

[@HanFan524]

Best K Stew interview I've ever seen, like someone finally asked all of the questions she's been waiting her whole career to answer

[@tanyaroberts919]

Kristen is often a little nervous in interviews, but when she is so passionately talking about books, it's like she comes into her own. 🤩💙 I love those books !

[@vickyagnew1651]

You are right, and I suspect it’s because she’s not being forced down uncomfortable, meaningless paths with silly questions centered around celebrity or her private life. She is endlessly interesting to listen to when she’s comfortable.

[@LauraZepedaR]

You can tell she enjoys this sort of interviews way more, she actually opens up and gets excited. Love it.

[@justme95136]

You know you have engaged with someone who loves books when they speak so articulately and paassionately about books. I love this,

[@sarahberney]

Well done Chanel for at long last providing us with the one interview of Kristen Stewart that I've been hoping to see for over a decade. Of course Kristen is an intelligent woman who reads and broadens her experience that way, but this side of her has been woefully underrepresented in the mostly dumb interviews she is obliged to give. Thank you. Well done Kristen for inspiring me to read a bunch of books I haven't heard about and I'm delighted to find out we have a mutual fascination with Jeanne D'Arc. Just now as I was googling Lidia Yuknavitch I was thrilled to discover that Kristen is set to make her directorial debut directing a film adaptation of The Chronology of Water. I haven't read it and I have mixed feelings about reading it but read it I will and I look forward to this film with keen anticipation.

[@UmaJade.]

In love with the way she describes how she feels about these books. Her details and emotions that she shows are mesmerizing.

[@mariesintes5233]

I've actually never known anyone that articulate, present and dissecting of the world around her. She's a special one and she's got such unique views on life and existence and I hate that it's so shadowed away by Hollywood old patriarchy but I love that she now feels confortable enough to give us a slight glimpse of such immaculate talent.

[@noellewrites6670]

my thoughts exactly! I feel like people are born either one way or another. The balance comes with time. She simply seems to just have it. I am so amazed.

[@pauplu6390]

This is the best interview I've ever seen. Kristen is such an amazing women.

[@angelaholmes8888]

Yeah she truly is

[@whateverbabe]

Check Victoria Pedretti's interview if you know her, these two became my top favorites

[@pauplu6390]

@@whateverbabe omg I love her! I didn't know she did one of these interviews!!!!

[@dashriprock6682]

Actually she is an amazing woman. Not an amazing women.

[@zooouuuu7]

kristen stewart talking about her favourite books just saved my day i want to watch this on repeat :)

[@prashimeghani4938]

Just love her mind. The way she expresses herself >>>

[@spxceBreeze]

I'm so grateful for this interview! letting people just talk about their passion for as long as they want to is such a gift, there's so much one can learn simply by listening them talk, i feel so grateful to receive a part of her intelligence and passion

[@mollybing4790]

Wow! She talks about not going to college but seems more intelligent than most people I know who did. The way she speaks and is able to explain perfectly what she means is mind-blowing. I enjoyed watching this video and wish her a continuously blessed and prosperous life!

[@prilljazzatlanta5070]

Thats pretty par for the course. And yes, agreed. Shes so smart

[@kbell7733]

I've been a fan of Kristen for like 12+ yrs and every time I watch an interview like this, I just love her even more. Really looking forward to her adaption of ''The Chronology of Water''. I've read the book and it's amazing.

[@bookladyreads]

This was an incredible talk. You can most definitely feel her thirst and love for literature.

[@pfffftuhsuh]

I could listen to her talk forever.

[@diane8074]

I love how every single sit-down interview Kstew has, the comment section is always filled with "I didn't know she was this articulate and eloquent and amazing and stunning etc etc" and "This is the most confident I've seen her, she's being herself!" like please guys, she stopped being the socially-awkward Bella over a decade ago. Watch her more recent stuff. I know people called her overrated many years ago, but shes freaking underrated. Her talents, and her mind. She's an amazing actress and an amazing person.

[@bubbles1978]

she just can't act to save her life

[@kbell7733]

THIS!! ppl just need to watch more interviews of her before they judge. she's been amazing

[@JoyjeetGupta]

It's always amazing to listen to other readers talking about their good reads. I maybe absolutely wrong but I think the better the reader, the better the actor. And here she is, passionately talking about books and proving my point.

[@noellewrites6670]

Kristen has such a way of describing things aloud that is so endearing and engaging. Not only her words, but you can visibly see how she is so inspired come through. That’s one of my favorite things in the world to see. I’ve recently been wondering where her value for impulsivity stems from, and hearing her thoughts on “On the Road” is insightful to that. This interview is incredibly thought-provoking.

[@fukutaichou1903]

This is the best 20 minutes that I spent today. As a fan I already know how ariticulate and insightful Kristen is, so it's really (for lack of a better word) wonderful to listen to her talk about books that have a profound impact on her life. Thanks to this, I also updated my reading list.

[@bernettejones5305]

I love watching her just TALK. She's smart and talks smart. Rare celebrity find...very very RARE. I don't feel stupid when I listen to her.

[@noellewrites6670]

I also loved how she mentioned Van Guogh and how he longed to share something he loved so much but couldn’t figure out how. I can identify with that. she’s such a deep thinker and I never would have known it. I would love to see more of this from her.

[@ahmadsaif4257]

This is so beautiful. I love how Chanel involving books/poetry/art into fashion, showing that fashion isn't only about clothes and shoes, it's also about feelings and stories and dreaming (every single peice like a coat or a jacket or a bag has its own story) Love,

[@missemmaWOODhouse783]

What a joy and a jewel this video is. OMG! God bless, could hear her talking about books and art all day. What a true artist.

[@machaon7300]

She makes any subjects interesting to listen her talk about ! I love the way she expresses herself. Such an intelligent lady 💚

[@melodyal3357]

I love the how Kristen found her path towards herself through years. She's grown up like a fine wine. She has became self confidant woman yet she hasn't lost that innocence and sensibility so characteristic to her own. There is an attractive kind of glimpse of insecurity she has always possessed but now seemed to have more control over; a kind of insecurity which mirrors her emotional intelligence and curiosity coming from the place of wisdom and humbleness. I wish to this beautiful inside and out woman so much happiness and love in her life; I think she's special one.

[@jodydeats1195]

Nobody can articulate like Kristen Stewart...I love her!

[@SoniaBonia33]

Wow! East of Eden is my favorite book of all time- I keep rereading it to make sure it’s still my favorite. She roped me in immediately with the Steinbeck praise. 😊

[@ambarrose]

This was so inspiring and amazing. Really, it was. You should keep doing these. It adds a while other dimension to the brand.

[@OMKhin-lm3ky]

She has such a superb taste 🌟I truly love it when she discusses books, films, music and life philosophy. Wise beyond her years ✨

[@NicTC26]

Kristen Stewart talking about books? Yes, please. Can’t wait for her adaption of Lidia Yuknavitch’s Chronology of Water! Bought extra copies for my library way in advance/ in anticipation of this…(nerd librarian here, sorry not sorry). Anyone else intrigued by the camera focus on KStew’s hands periodically? It’s a lovely intimacy of gesture.

[@giodhuha6771]

Yeah i'm excited to since this will be her feature directorial debut as writer and director. I wish she would cast Robert Pattinson and Jodie Foster just so they can have proper reunion.

[@sandalisashangi6272]

There's a place in the heart that will never be filled and we will wait and wait in that space 🔥 Love it

[@ctgctg1]

What I love is how Kristen talks about the authors and having relationships with the great characters in these books. Her vocabulary is extensive and is so passionate. I love reading and I can tell that she can literally feel the words in the books leap off the page. She makes me remember how much I love to read. When I was younger reading was like breathing to me, and I feel like the busyness of life has given me so few opportunities to experience this currently. Amazing discourse Kristen.❤

[@prerza]

i just love her vibe, the way she dotes on literature and calls it her solace, same.

[@Ch_Noor72]

I'm not much of a reader, but I was a huge fan of Kristen Stewart when I was younger, and I vividly remember her mentioning years ago that her favorite book was East of Eden. I picked it up this year for that particular reason (i know, crazy), and it turned out to be one of the best books I've ever read. So much wisdom and beauty in Steinbeck's writing, I can't wait to read the rest of his work.

[@GhostFirl_66]

Kristen Stewart makes me cry. Every time I look at the work she does or her interviews. I cry. Because I feel like sometimes she’s the only other person in the world. That understands me.

[@pradeepbatte1007]

I think I understand what makes you cry.hope you find peace after crying for while

[@maelle9229]

I feel that so much. You feel seen and heard and understood - by a stranger who doesn't even know you exist. It's kind of magic. And so comforting.

[@-HRH]

If you ever decide to teach a literature class, Kristen, I will be in the front row with an apple! I've literally just learned five new things I never thought about before! ❤

[@paws2reflect]

I love discovering other book nerds! I'll never get tired of hearing people talk about their favorite books throughout their lives. You can find some real gems that way. What I love most of all is finding out which books people keep going back to reread time after time throughout decades. 🥰

[@ame1861]

She is one of my favorite actresses and celebrities in general and now I love her even more if that's even possible.

[@billrympalski1712]

What a deep person she is! This changed my limited view of her. WOW!

[@leilasix]

Someone from Chanel please tell Kristen I did pick up Tree and I absolutely loved it. I had never read anything like that either and it was a profound and beautiful experience. One of the best recommendations I've gotten so thanks, Kristen!

[@ivania321]

So happy to see Kristen here at the Library de Chanel :) always so captivating sharing stories with the audience :D thank you !!!

[@BertrandRussell-l6j]

Kristen Stewart is one of the best and most popular actresses, I love her from the bottom of my heart

[@literaryrealm]

the little anecdote about patti smith was so wonderful to listen to

[@illberunningaround89]

Omg. I never thought I'd end up relating to Kristen Stewart so much lol Funnily enough, we're both Aries Sun, Libra Moon and Taurus Mercury. You can tell that someone is well-read by the way that they speak. I've had people tell me for years that I need to "simplify my communication". No thank you, I'm perfectly satisfied with my reverence for language; whether my native or foreign. 💜 I've always said that words and books are my bread and butter. 🙏

[@patlockwood6207]

What an intelligent young woman. Love her as an actress, but never knew she had such brains.

[@musicbytonya]

Yes!!! I love reading. Tangible books are so precious!! Thanks for sharing.

[@artemis7810]

It's amazing how she talks about books, loved it...

[@Heresheis0818]

She’s definitely inspiring women of younger generations get used to embracing the ideas of being insecure and conflicted while transitioning from girl to woman

[@AdrianasWonderland]

i thought i could not love her more. and then she is there, a reader. damn me

[@user-pj9qw8cb8v]

I love KS! She is one of my favorite actress! Love her personality!

[@LeidyEsther0617]

I always said it and I'll say it again, Kristen Stewart is an amazing person. For a philologist like me to hear her talking about books it's a dream. She is not just a pretty face, she is also intelligent and cultured

[@LeslieLili]

She is so charming :) i love her way to speak and her outfit

[@denisepanchysyn7956]

Okay, well if I didn't like Kristen Stewart already I sure do now! I'd never heard of her until I saw a movie called the Clouds of Maria Sils. From the first frame, she knocked me out. It's like she owns a role. I love Just Kids too. Yes, Kristen, make a film of it because it's about being an artist and putting in the time, work, devotion. Fabulous book. So glad to hear she's a reader as well as an amazing actor.

[@WaotJay]

She is like my highly intelligent friends, who keep quiet and do not show that side, but being with them especially in school they get all work done eyes closed and get the high marks. She was being all quiet and ditzy looking as a teenager as she maybe felt out of place given her level of insightfulness.

[@joannedegraff505]

Just finished reading Just Kids. It is one of the most beautiful & fascinating love stories I've ever read. I cried at the ending. Thank you for your reading suggestions. And you should definitely make & star in that movie.

[@Oldgods9]

I could listen to her talk about the books she’s read for hours, man. She brings a lot of poignancy to the converging relationship of the written word and the reader.

[@billyalarie929]

This was transformative. Thank you guys.

[@zoeclapp]

This is a great reading list, some I've already ticked off, some I'm taking a note of for future. Thank you Kristen, and thank you Chanel.

[@idabergmann5270]

"just being such a fan of things really says a lot about a person." yeah, kristen, it does

[@Hibiscus_Fairy]

Love this!! I love hearing people talk about their passion, I loved hearing how connected she felt to these books. Definitely have some new books to read. 📚

[@kathaiti]

You can tell she LOVES reading by the way she speaks with so much passion.

[@sharonkaysnowton]

Kristen Stewart is a very talented actress and I can definitely see her being a reader. I can see her reading "Cannery Row" and being obsessed with the writer. I am a reader and it makes me happy to know one of my favorite actresses is also a reader.

[@mania.v]

I started watching this video and when she mentioned Steinbeck's Cannery Row and East of Eden (!!), it made me happy, because those are my favourite books.. and then she mentioned On the Road, Ham on Rye, Sapiens.. I am in disbelief that she likes so many books that I like. I'll definitely read the rest of the books she mentions as we apparently have a very similar taste in books. Thank you for doing this interview!

[@BeStillandKnow0000]

I love this! more on people loving the work of other people, please 🌺

[@CharlotteElizabeth92]

I relate to her passion. Steinbeck is amazing. So is she.

[@melissa10101]

amazing interesting discussions, love her love for literature, and how she stays true to herself. You can feel the introvert vibe and she always shows up and shares that passion.

[@Chinni_C888]

This was beautiful. I'm so glad it was recommended on my homepage 💖

[@joannalukaszuk2260]

How sweet and passionate she is...

[@myfirstnovel]

I remember how awkward and guarded KS was in the early days of fame. It's nice to hear her speak with so much passion and insight and freedom about books. I literally added a few to my TBR (East of Eden was already there but made it to the top). I love Harari, it reminded me to pick up HD. The Van Gogh letters had been on my radar. And Didion was one of the first "serious" author I picked as a teenager (Play it as it lays in my case), I need to revisit. So many suggestions here. Please make this a whole more sustained series.

[@LearningZone205]

" I had a hard time with numbers growing up, but words have always been my friends and …..solace actually for me". I am Fascinated with her art of description . She was Confident, Knowledgeable, Deep, Calm with Eloquence. Lovely choices of Books. I found Kristin became more herself recently....I think she found herself. However, her eyes always sad.

interview which makes me love literature and English language more.. her reviews would add extra value to any author's work.

[@EYDIMUSIC]

Reminds me of something David Hockney said but he was quoting his sister saying "space is God" and that he found it quite poetic. It always stuck with me as an artist because space and time really are relative. We and the rest of nature can never really fill our environment completely. We can add something though.
