Kristen Talks About SWATH

Source "I've had the most indulgent experience on Snow White and the Huntsman so far," the actress, 21, who plays the title character, told reporters at L.A.'s Breaking Dawn – Part 1 premiere on Monday. "We had a lot of pre-production and I really got close with the director [Rupert Sanders] and [costar] Chris [Hemsworth] and everything, so I'm having a great time!"

And Stewart wants to make one thing clear: She doesn't feel like she needed much of a break before diving back into a starring role again.

"Obviously everyone thinks it’s a kind of rush to do it," she says. "[But] it was good timing; I had a little bit of time off in between [filming Breaking Dawn and Snow White]. It was good."

As for her time working on Twilight – which she calls "pretty unique" – Stewart tells PEOPLE she is grateful for her fans but is "fine either way" with the extreme fanfare or without it.
