Kristen Stewart has been acting since she was just a kid, but it wasn’t until she appeared in the “Twilight” series that she really got thrown into the spotlight.

The actress has had to deal with plenty of critics throughout her career, but she’s managed to come out on top. Stewart has seemingly done things on her own terms and has even earned some major accolades (like France’s equivalent to an Oscar) along the way. Oh, and she also happens to be a muse to one of the most famous fashion designers and houses in the biz.

With all that being said, it’s easy to see why Stewart, 25, would be the perfect person to offer some advice about living in the limelight and starring in a multi-million dollar franchise to fellow actress and “Star Wars” newcomer Daisy Ridley.

Stewart recently appeared on The Hollywood Reporter’s “Awards Chatter” podcast, where she offered up some words of wisdom for Ridley.

“I did ‘Twilight’ when I was 17. It came out when I was 18, and my life was never even remotely the same,” Stewart said.

She continued with her advice: “Focus on the fact that you’re stoked, ’cause you’re doing the work that you want to do. It’s literally mainly just about focusing on what makes you happy. And if losing your anonymity or whatever doesn’t make you happy, then focus on something else.”

So, Daisy, take note: Just stick to what you love, and the Force will be with you.
