(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Kristen Stewart admits that she is quite "self-conscious."

The world famous Hollywood actress' face is recognisable to millions of people.

Kristen is not consumed by fame and prefers to be gracious in the company of others.

"I am so self-aware, so self-conscious," she told British newspaper The Independent. "There are people in life who lead the way and run after things, and then there are the observers and followers. I am one of those people; I'd be latching onto the leader. That's why I love to play characters that are so completely different to myself."

Kristen plays the lead fairy tale princess in her new movie Snow White and the Huntsman. The star is impressed by her character's strength.

"[Y]ou have a kick-ass heroine, someone who can fight, yet she's not a strange girl pretending to be a boy," she explained. "I always wanted to do something physically challenging and this was it."

Kristen is one of the most success young actresses in show business at the moment.

She believes that her prosperity is as result of living her truth.

"I always say follow the heart and things usually wind up where you want to be," she said. (C) Cover Media
