Kristen Stewart Explains Why She Loves ‘Barbie,’ Mannequin Pussy, and Throwing Dice

Kristen Stewart shared a few of her favorite things — including books, music, and movies — while going deep on why she doesn't love 'perfected items.'

The actress and Rolling Stone cover star goes deep on why she doesn't love "perfected items," while recommending some of her favorite movies, music, and books As for what’s on her bookshelf, Stewart said she’d been falling in love with a lot of contemporary female writers, seeing in their work an awakening of a collective unconscious that’s going, “Oh, excuse me, we need to contextualize this shame and this pain, because we don’t want to wear it constantly, but we do have to acknowledge and repossess it.” As for music, Stewart recommended Alice Coltrane and the Beatles “for anyone who’s in love.” And for those looking for a bit more bite, try Philly punks Mannequin Pussy: They’ve got a real sultry and positive growl that is just like shoving our faces in, like, the bush of being a woman — and I love them for that.”
