Ever wonder why  Kristen Stewart always looks like someone just pooped on her pillow?

It's because smiling is for sellouts. 

In a new interview with Elle magazine, the actress explains why her face appears incapable of happiness:


"Now I feel like if I smiled for a paparazzi photo — not that I ever would —that’s exactly what people would be desecrating me for ... They’d be like, ‘now you’re going to give it up, now you’re a sellout.’ Like, okay. What do you want? What would you like?"

She also explained that she has never really had a plan for her career, because that might make her into a commodity like snack food. 


"Never at any point have I sat down and plotted how I should proceed from here on. As soon as you start thinking about your career as a trajectory — like, as if you’re going to miss out on some wave or momentum — then you’re never doing anything for yourself anyway. Then you’re truly, actually, specifically working for the public. You’re turning yourself into a bag of chips."

Ah, the philosophy of Kristen Stewart. It would be a lot easier to make fun of if I weren't actually a complete sucker for that whole frowny, distant, goth-girl thing. 

Either way, her new movie still looks very good:
