Kristen Stewart has had relationships with both men and women, and in a candid new interview with Paris-based Mastermind magazine she opens up about why she prefers to keep her sexuality ambiguous.

“Yeah, ambiguity is my favourite thing ever. In terms of sexuality? For sure,” she tells the mag, as reported by People.

“And also in making films, if you perfectly answer every question, you don’t allow for people to have their own experience and really indulge a thought,” she continues. “I feel the same way about how we f**k each other. You don’t want to know everything all the time.”

During the interview, the 28-year-old actress also reflects on the way female sexuality is depicted in coming-of-age films.

“Right now, I’m so aware of the fact that we’ve watched, cinematically, men and their way into their bodies and do physical things that feel fundamental to this male perspective,” she says. “In every coming-of-age story we see about a young girl, even if it’s the truest, most sincere thing, what’s lacking is the physical honesty of actual female experience and the way we discover our bodies. It’s like we’re scared of using certain words.”
