Paparazzi made me miserable

Kristen Stewart has blamed the paparazzi for creating the misconception that she is always in a gloomy mood.

The Twilight actress explained that she still struggles to cope with the intense media interest over herself and partner Robert Pattinson, and is inevitably at her most irritable when surrounded by cameras.

She told the Daily Telegraph: "It is weird with the paparazzi. We are not on the top of the paparazzi list, but it is definitely tougher for Rob.

"I'm quite shy and people think I'm aloof. I get that all the time, 'She should not be in this position because she can't handle it,' and, 'She is stuck up and doesn't want to talk to anybody. She is miserable, and if you are miserable stop doing it.'

"But do you have a choice? I want to be an actor, I am just not very comfortable talking about myself."

Stewart has regularly spoken out against the paparazzi and caused controversy when she compared behind hounded by the press to being raped.
