Kristen Stewart insists she isn't afraid of getting her heart broken.

The 'Still Alice' star, who split from Robert Pattinson in 2013 after more than three years of dating, claims she is a very open person and trusts her instincts when it comes to relationships.

The 25-year-old actress said: ''It's not hard for me to figure out who I like or who my friends are. I trust my energy meter, but I'm also not afraid to let me people in who might hurt me.

''I do not approach my life tactfully at all. I'm incredibly impulsive and I am definitely an intense weirdo. I love living and I love people. They trip me out and I want to know more about them all the time. That isn't something I can turn off and on.''

The brunette beauty hinted she is only interested in dating a fellow actor or musician because the need to create ''is a compulsion and I share that.''

She also told CR Fashion Book: ''For me, the most attractive thing in a person is drive - genuine impulse expressed for the sake of it, not for perception. I think that's hot.''

But Kristen is much harder on herself when it comes to acting and seeks out challenging roles.

She explained: ''I love putting myself through hell and really experiencing that pain. That's when I feel the most fulfilled, when at the end I feel like I've slaughtered myself. And it's so worth it.''
