As part of her publicity blitz for New Moon, Kristen Stewart covers the latest issue of Seventeen.

(You can expect to read that sentence often over the next few weeks, with various magazine titles in place of Seventeen.)

While the photo shoot for the publication is far less interesting and sexy than the one Stewart took part in for Allure, the interview is a bit revealing. Here are excerpts from it:

On initial attraction to Bella: “I think it was the fact that she could hold her own against Edward, because it’s a strange dynamic that they have. I think people relate to her just because she’s got conviction.”

On success of the Twilight Saga: “I’m glad to be a part of something that’s actually bigger than me for once. The success of it is the coolest thing ever because I can’t tell you how much it hurts to do something that you feel like you can really learn from — and you feel is an important section of your life that you put everything into — and then nothing, it just never comes out. So the fact that we can share that, that’s why we do this. It’s the coolest thing.”

On her life these days: “I’m kind of boring. I’d rather stay at home. I read a lot and I play guitar. I have to play a lot of guitar right now especially because I’m doing the movie.”

To those residing under a rock: New Moon opens on November 20.
