Kristen Stewart has gained a reputation as something of a sourpuss, thanks to her seeming reluctance to happily embrace the experience that being in the spotlight brings. But in a new interview, she admits that being famous is more than okay—it's totally awesome, and it's made her life way easy! Check it:

“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."

Wow; that's a far cry from the young lady who, not too long ago, was equating having her picture taken to being raped. Has someone gained a much-needed sense of perspective? Let's hope so...
