Kristen Stewart impressed Joan Jett when they worked together because she had “no head trips”.
Kristen portrays Joan in movie The Runaways, about the 70s girlband featuring Joan. The rocker admits she was initially unsure about turning her life into a film, but seeing how much Kristen put into the role made her realise she’d made the right choice.
“I thought Kristen was brilliant. She really wanted to nail it, and she did a lot of studying – to the point where, when I heard her sing I Love Playing With Fire, I felt sure they were playing my vocals,” Joan explained. “And she was so great to work with, so down to earth, no head trips at all.”
The movie shows how hard Joan and her bandmate Cherie Currie, portrayed by Dakota Fanning, worked to succeed. It also details their hard-partying lifestyle, which included drug taking and alcohol drinking.
Joan has now calmed down, and prefers staying home to going on wild nights out. “I’m not at all what people think,” she told the British edition of Grazia magazine. “They probably assume I’m out every night, going crazy, but that stuff’s gotten really boring for me. Nowadays if I’m not on the road, I’m in New York, hanging out with my animals.”

Talking to MTV UK, the "Eclipse" cutie tells, “The fame makes my life so much easier where it’s most important to me, because I get to do really awesome projects right now. It looks much crazier on the outside than it is.”
Meanwhile, Kristen still has her problems with social networking, as she explains, “It’s just too connected. They can just basically reach out and touch you. I feel about the most interesting thing about me is that I do these movies. More than that. it’s just complete narcissism.”[b]
[b]“You start giving stuff away — then they’re not going to stop asking,”“There’s not a satisfied point that you can ever reach, so why start.”
Ever since the “Twilight” fever began, she’s been constantly on-the-go, and Kristen Stewart is looking forward to having some time off in the not-too-distant future.
And when she’s finished promoting “Eclipse,” the “Adventureland” babe says she’ll have some downtime to enjoy.
“Oddly enough I have a really clean horizon, I’m excited about the last few films I did coming out but other than that — I always have my next three things planned out so to have a clean horizon is pretty nice.”
But she won’t be on the couch for too long- production on “Breaking Dawn” is scheduled to start later this year
