'Twilight' star Kristen Stewart has realised she can't control who she loves and tries not to plan too much of her life.

The 23-year-old actress, who split from British actor Robert Pattinson in May last year, said she has learnt a lot about herself over the past few months, reported Contactmusic.

"You don't know who you will fall in love with. You just don't. You don't control it. Some people have certain things, like, 'That's what I'm going for,' and I have a subjective version of that. "I don't pressure myself... If you fall in love with someone, you want to own them - but really why would you want that. You want them to be what you love," she said.

The brunette beauty learnt to embrace a more relaxed approach to life when she went on trip with a few of her female friends to New Orleans, Louisiana, shortly after her split from Pattinson last summer.
