Kirsten Dunst is putting acting on hold and heading back to school. In the April issue of W magazine, which hits newsstands on March 23, the starlet talks about
her new obsession, becoming an art student and how she has evolved as an actress.
On proving herself as an actress:
“After Marie Antoinette, I was feeling that I had to prove myself. Ugh. Like, I didn’t do it. I didn’t prove myself enough. Then I thought, Whatever. I’m in a really
happy place, and I want to do a fun movie. Why do I want to be super serious chick all the time? I have a dark side, but I also like comedy, so I think next I want to do something that’s super over-the-top.”
On recently becoming an art student:
“It’s really about finding your style, rather than 'Hold the pencil like this.' I just need to learn the tools so that I
can do the things that I want to do…It’s so private and I love it so much and it’s like a little secret in my heart. And the more I talk about it, the less control I feel I have. I don’t think everyone has to go to college. Just explore other things.”
On being excited to have a student ID:
“I have my ID—it’s so exciting. I was showing it to my girlfriends in the restaurant last night. I’m like, ‘I
can get money off movie tickets now!’”
