During a recent interview with [_Elle_](http://www.elle.com/culture/movies-tv/interviews/a39895/certain-women-kristen-stewart-laura-dern/ "undefined"), Stewart — who recently opened up about [her sexuality](http://motto.time.com/4426402/kristen-stewart-alicia-cargile-girlfriend/ "undefined") and relationship with producer [Alicia Cargile](http://motto.time.com/4525771/kristen-stewart-not-ashamed-sexuality/ "undefined") — spoke about the significance of seeing different relationships represented in film. “I think there \[are\] so many modern love stories that have not been told and I think it’s so exciting,” she told _Elle_. “We are so standardized in terms of how we see people loving each other on screen…now we’re kind of acknowledging that we’re not all the same as everyone, that things are complicated and individual and unique and fluid.” The 26-year-old actress also spoke about how committed she is to her work. “I don’t like the idea of people thinking that I don’t give a f—k,” she said. “Nobody f—king understands or loves like what they do more than me, so it really kind of hurts. What I don’t give a f—k about is stuff that doesn’t matter. Don’t get it twisted, you know what I mean?” Read more at [Elle.com](http://www.elle.com/culture/movies-tv/interviews/a39895/certain-women-kristen-stewart-laura-dern/ "undefined"). ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4528670/kristen-stewart-interview-sexuality/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4528670/kristen-stewart-interview-sexuality/"},"headline":"Kristen Stewart Wants to Bring Untold 'Fluid' Love Stories to the Big Screen","datePublished":"2016-10-12T20:50:35.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:37:35.574Z","description":"\"Things are complicated and individual and unique and fluid\"","url":"https://time.com/4528670/kristen-stewart-interview-sexuality/","keywords":["movies","Newsfeed","Kristen Stewart"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltb49112f2f5ee4f6d/6988a9bc0a4a22bdd49cb9d6/kristen-stewart.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltb49112f2f5ee4f6d/6988a9bc0a4a22bdd49cb9d6/kristen-stewart.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"54th New York Film Festival - An Evening With Kristen Stewart","caption":"Kristen Stewart attends during an evening with Kristen Stewart during the 54th New York Film Festival at Stanley H.
