'I don't like fake people': What Kristen Stewart said in interview with R-Patz... just before she was caught cheating

Kristen Stewart said she struggles to pull off the 'fake' Hollywood persona which many actors are 'so good at'.
The 22-year-old actress made the comments in an interview with Entertainment Weekly in mid-July, conducted alongside boyfriend Robert Pattinson, just around the time of her then-secret illicit fling with Rupert Sanders.
Stewart explained she just prefers being herself - and doesn't like the idea of being branded a phony in the interview, which was published today.

She said people have advised her to 'play a character' when appearing on the red carpet - but insisted she just can't do it.
'I don't like people like that...' Stewart said. '...People who are a complete non-person but somehow through the lens seem like they are "on" and interesting and engaged.
'I care way more about the people standing in the room,' she went on. 'I don't want anyone leaving and saying, "God, that girl is so fake".'

Kristen continued: 'People tell me to make it easier on myself and to play a character when I go out on carpets and stuff. But you know what? I'd rather be me.'
Just weeks after the interview, pictures were published of Stewart and her Snow White And The Huntsman director Sanders, kissing and cuddling during a series of secluded stop-offs around Los Angles.
It prompted Stewart to release a public statement apologising to 26-year-old R-Patz for what she described as a 'momentary indiscretion'.

Her comments also shed light on her apparent decision to pull out of the premiere of her new film On The Road, taking place next Thursday in London.
Apparently she is 'too ashamed' to show her face following her infidelity - and clearly pasting on a smile for the cameras is not something she is capable of doing, in light of her comments to EW.
An added edge of discomfort likely to have sealed the deal, is that co-star Tom Sturridge (the father of Sienna Miller's baby) is due to attend the August 16 soiree - who happens to be R-Patz's best bud.
A source told RadarOnline: 'Kristen won’t be doing the red carpet for On The Road, she’s too ashamed to show her face in public right now.
'After everything that has been said, and in light of the revelations that she cheated on Robert with director Rupert Sanders, she’s running scared at the moment.
On The Road, from Brazilian director Walter Salles, is the film version of Jack Kerouac’s novel.
The star-studded cast also boasts performances from Amy Adams, Kirsten Dunst, Viggo Mortensen and Steve Buscemi - along with protagonists Garrett Hedlund and BAFTA-nominee Sam Riley.
Meanwhile Stewart has also reportedly dropped out of her latest film, Cali.
In conjunction with K-Stew's departure, Gossip Cop are claiming that Amber Heard is joining the cast, although it has not been confirmed if she will take on the role Stewart was supposed to be starring in.

Interestingly, Heard isn't exactly devoid of her own dramas at the moment, having been named as the rumoured love interest of Johnny Depp before he split with long-term love Vanessa Paradis.
The film follows lovers Mya (Stewart) and Chris (Alex Pettyfer) who run away after selling a fake snuff film, only to return to Los Angeles years later to rescue the woman’s younger sister from a bad mob.
Director Nick Cassavetes, who gave us The Notebook and gritty Alpha Dog, is scheduled to be the man behind the lens, while K-Stew was reported to act as producer too.
