The mean and moody Twilight star, 19, threw on her glad rags for the New York City premiere of The Runaways at the Landmark Sunshine Cinema Wednesday night.

The film — a biopic about ’70s rock band The Runaways, also starring teen actress Dakota Fanning — hits movie theaters April 9.

Kristen — who’s rumored to be dating her Twilight costar Robert Pattinson — recently opened up to Parade magazine where she discussed a number of different things, including:

Understanding Twilight fans: “I’ve never been so fanatical about something. I never had that thing that I’m obsessed with. But, I’ve followed things for years like bands and movies and actors. I completely get what they’re feeling. Personally, it’s just so cool for me to be able to go back and follow a character for so long in successive movies. The fact that fans love them helps give me the chance.”

Playing a string of disaffected teens: “It’s hard to generalize about the characters that I’ve played because they all have their separate issues. I don’t know what types of characters, especially if they’re young girls, who wouldn’t be considered disaffected. I think to play a completely mindless happy person would be mindless and happy, but boring. I don’t know what the hell I’m doing. I’m just playing parts that speak to me. The only thing I would never do is a big explosion movie. I couldn’t handle it. I would totally break down.”

The challenge of playing Bell: “You have to live something when you film it. I know from the outside Twilight looks a big commercial movie. But, it was more difficult to play Bella than a lot of other parts I’ve done. And, she’s still developing because I’m not finished yet. It’s more of an exploration of a person’s journey.”

How Kristen escaped after the first Twilight: “I did my own road trip back from Portland where we were filming. I bought like a little truck and drove home to L.A. It wasn’t like the most transformative experience, but it was fun. It gave me a sense of freedom and going away from something that was a rather intense experience.”
