More From Robert Pattinson

Contact Lenses Make Me Miserable, As Soon As I Put Them In. That's What Creates The Pouting And Brooding Character.

I've Never Really Taken Myself Seriously As An Actor, It Is Surprising The Amount Of People Who Think I'm Going To Be Really Dumb. I Think They Think Anyone Who Has Done Teen Movies Is Just An Idiot. I Don't Know, Maybe I Am. Some Of The Best Actors, If You Talk To Them, They're Not The Smartest People In The World.

Looking Scary With A Baseball Outfit On And A Little Bouffant, You Know, It Just Does Not Work. Especially With Sculpted Eyebrows.

People Ask Me If I'm Afraid Of Getting Typecast, But You Can't Be Afraid Of That. It's Really Not Up To You. I'm Getting Other Parts That Aren't Vampires.

If I Could Get Any Semblance Of, Not Really Anonymity, But Control Over My Public Image, That Would Be Nice. But No, I Think It's Impossible [to Maintain That], For One Thing. I Don't Think Anyone Can Do That, Apart From Denzel Washington. It's A Strange Place That The Film Industry Is At, Where You Can Just Play Superhero After Superhero.

I Was Really Unfit Last Year, So I Worked Out For A Long Time, Then Spent Time By Myself In Oregon. For About Two Months The Only Person I Saw Was My Trainer. Every Day I Did A Lot Of Running And I Just Didn’t Want To Talk To Anyone For Two Months. So When I Started Talking Again, It Was Like You Would Communicate Wrongly, Like You Wouldn’t Really Remember How To Speak. That Was One Of The Key Things As Well As Just Reading The Book, Reading The Script A Million Times, Just Figuring Things Out.

What's It Like Kissing Taylor Lautner.

It's Supposed To Feel Totally Foreign [to Play In A Series], Every Single Time. But, Going Back For Another Go At It Is Good, On The One Hand, But It's Also Bad, On Another Hand, Because Your Ideas Dry Up Sometimes, And Also You Get Lazy Sometimes Because You're Around The Same People.

I Think So Much Of A Director's Job Is Just To Convince You That What You're Doing Is Worthwhile. "yes, This Does Mean Something, We're Not Just Messing Around." Even Though At The End Of The Day It's A Film. But At The Time It's Something Else. I Don't Feel Like I'm Making A Film, I'm Confronting Things In Myself. I Don't Know What It Is. So If Someone Is Enthusiastic Enough To Convince You That It's Important It's Kind Of Magical.

Obviously, The Best Dressed Awards Is Very Relevant, I'm Best Dressed At All Times.(smiles)

You Can Put A Dog In A Scene And Everyone's Going To Be Better, I Guarantee It. And If They're Not Better, Just Shoot The Dog.

I Don't Really Know How Accepted I Am. Nothing Ever Matters To Me Apart From The People With Negative Opinions. That's Literally It. That Always Drives Me On To The Next Thing. It's Funny, You Just Focus On Them And Then The Next Movie. That's The Only Thing You're Thinking About When It Comes Out.

But You're Not Really Allowed To Complain About Any Of This, You're Just Supposed To Be Grateful. And Obviously-i Get It. You're Lucky And You Should Appreciate Your Luck. But, I Mean, It Just Seems If You Even Hint That There's A Bad Side To Any Of This People Will Be Like-liar! I Guess It's Because People Want To Have It As A Dream

It's Nice That I've Grown Up With The Same Friends Since I Was 12, I Have A Very Close Knit Set Of Them... I Grew Up With A Lot Of People Who A Lot Of Other People Regarded As Heroes, And No One Ever Came To Me For Advice, No One Ever Came To Me For Protection, And So I Don't Ever Really Think I've Been Looked At As A Hero.

Smaller Movies Are Great Because You Don't Have To Argue With So Many People All The Time. But Really I Like Arguing So There's A Balance Either Way.

When I Was 17 Until, I Don't Know, 20, I Had This Massive, Baseless Confidence. This Very Clear Idea Of Myself And How I Would Achieve Success, Which Involved Making Decisions. I Saw Myself Picking Up The Phone And Saying 'absolutely Not' Or 'definitely Yes.' Having Control. Except You Have To Figure Out Whether The Way You Think At 19 Or 20 Has Any Value. And Eventually I Understood, With All That Control, Which Was Probably Illusory, I Wasn't Progressing. So Now I'm Relinquishing A Bit. I'll Be A Tiny Bit Naked.

It's Strange, Somebody Asked For My Autograph The Other Day. Because I Finished School And I'm Not Really Doing Anything At The Moment, I Was Just Kind Of Aimlessly Wandering Around London And These Two Guys Who Were About 30 Came Up And Asked For My Autograph. I Was Really Quite Proud At The Time, And They Wanted To Take Photos And Stuff. And Then They Were Sort Of Wandering Around And I Was Kind Of Wandering Around And I Bumped Into Them About Three Times, And Every Single Time Their Respect For Me Kept Growing And Growing And Growing.

Never Trust A Guy Who Plucks His Eyebrows.

I Like Being A Part Of David Cronenberg’s World, I Feel Very At Home There

I Think That ‘new Moon’ Was My Favorite Book As Well Mainly Because I Like The Juxtaposition Of All Sudden People Being…it’s Such A Hyped Character, Edward, And There Are So Many People Looking At Him Like A Romantic Hero. In ‘new Moon’, The Way That I Read It Anyway, He’s Just So Humbled. It’s A Character Who’s Looking At Bella And Thinking That He Loves Something Too Much But He Can’t Be Around. He Deliberately Starts Breaking Up Their Relationship Which I Think Is A Very Relatable Thing And I Think Is Very Kind Of Painful.

When I Was Flying To Rome, We Flew Over London; I Felt Like Bursting Into Tears. It's Part Of Me, So I Can't Leave London Behind For Good.

This Is Crazier And Louder Than I Was Prepared For. With Every Week, The Fervour And Anticipation Seem To Grow. People Know My Name And Ambush Me In Public And Try To Figure Out What Hotel I'm Staying At And Ask Me To Bite Them And Want To Touch My Hair.

Peter Also Uses His Wig As A Cereal Bowl... He'll Some Times Have Some, Like, Top Ramen In It.

I Would. I'm Just Too, I'm Kind Of, A Pussy, I Guess. That's The Problem. But, No, I'd Love To. I Think Everybody Should Do Open Mics. I Think It's Very Healthy For Your Soul. So Yeah, I'd Love To Do It Again, But I Don't Know. It's Like I'm Cutting A Record If I Do Open Mic Now, So, I Don't Know.

I Don't Want People To Hate Me. I Basically Do Whatever I Want. But One Of The Aspects Of What I Want Is, I Want People To Like Me!

Cosmopolis Is The Movie Of My Life. I Didn't Consider Myself An Actor Before, Even If I Had 10 Years Of Acting Behind Me. I Always Felt Like A Fraud, And Inappropriate. I Doubt A Lot. David Cronenberg Gave Me Confidence In Myself. He Changed My Way Of Acting And Thinking In This Industry.

I Think Pretty Much All People Who Love Each Other Had Some Kind Of Thing At First Sight. I Mean, There Has To Be Some Kind Of Moment Where You, Like, Feel A Different Energy Around Someone.

I Have Very, Very Specific Ideas About How I Want To Do My Work And How I Want To Be Perceived And To The Point Of Ridiculousness Sometimes.

Thats The Worst Thing, I Don't Really Care If People Say I'm A Bad Actor, I Can Like Work On That, But If They Just Say That He's Ugly Thats Just Like “oh.. Really?

I Really Understood What Was Happening In Cannes. I Was In A Restaurant During A Break And When I Came Out 2 Hours Later, 500 People Were Waiting For Me At The Exit. It Was Total Chaos. They Literally Had To Carry Me To The Car.

The Special Effects Team Designed Everything, Which Basically Allowed Me To Stand On A Green Box And Look And Stay Relatively Expressionless And All These Machines Did The Acting For Me. Just The Way I Like It (laughs)

I Watch So Many Movies And I Find A Lot Of Them Very Predictable, And Also, A Little Bit Playing It Safe.

Playing It Safe

I Used To Be Able To Be In England And Just Be Fine. No One Had Any Idea Who I Was.i Get A Lot More Abuse In England.

When This Is Over, The Media Will Lose Interest [in The Relationship]. There’ll Be Nothing To Say. It Won’t Fit Into A Headline Anymore. It Won’t Fit Into A Template.

I'm Boring. I Stay Home, Watch Tv, And Eat A Lot Of Fast Food. That's Really Exciting, Isn't It?

I Was Doing Progressively Smaller Movies In England, After Harry Potter... To The Point Where I Was Doing Nine-day Shoots For, Like, 20p And A Packet Of Space Invaders. And Then This Happened. So I'm Not Just Another Actor Who's Around And Jobbing. When You Hire Me For A Job, You're Hiring.

You Can't Win. The Annoying Thing Is That You Can't Attack Them, But You Can't Defend Yourself. The Best Thing You Could Possibly Do Is Punch A Paparazzi And Give Them Their Big Payday.

The Girly Movie I Secretly Love Is Pippy Longstockings.

I Hate People Who Cry Around Me. I'm Not Friends With Them Anymore. Especially Girls. Cuz Girls Are Crying All The Time. It's Like, 'shut Up.'

The Stuff I Find Attractive In Women I Always Regret Finding Attractive. I Always Like A Kind Of Madness In A Woman... I Like It When They Hate Me Right From The Beginning.

I Was Quite Intimidated By Ralph Fiennes. I Didn't Really Talk To Him While I Was Doing Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire And The Only Thing I Did With Him Was When He Stepped On My Head. Then I Went To This Play And He Was There. And This Girl Said, “you've Worked With Ralph Fiennes Haven't You, Robert?” And I Was Like, “well, No...” And Ralph Said, “yes, I Stepped On Your Head.” And That Was The Extent Of Our Conversation.

I'm Trying To Make Something Every Time That Feels New And Surprises People. Hopefully At Least One Person. But It's Not Like I Turn It Off. I Don't Make A Movie And Then Go Back To My Normal Life. When I'm Finishing One Movie The Next Day I'm Thinking About The Next One.

I Actually Think Being Involved In The Cesarean Would Be... I Just Can't Wait!

I'm Really Scary In Reality. Most Of The Time.

I Got Expelled From My School When I Was 12; I Was Quite Bad!

I Did This Movie About Salvador Dali A Few Years Ago And Had Hair Extensions And A Little Bob. That Was Incredibly Bizarre.

The Link Between My Brain And My Mouth Is Just Not There Anymore.

I Go Through Fan Mail Myself, But I Think I Might Get Them Censored, Because I'm Always Expecting To Get The One Thing That Says, 'i Know Where You Live And I'm Going To Kill You!' I'm Always Expecting That To Come, But It Never Seems To Arrive. I Never Get Any Negative Mail, So Someone Must Be Censoring Them.

If I Were A Place, The Area Of South Bank, In London. Between The Hayward Gallery, National Theatre And All Other Activities, I'm Never Bored. I Would Also Say New York For The Breathtaking Skyline Formed By The Buildings And The Fast Pace Of The City, Whatever The Time Of Day.

After The First One [twilight], People Started Referring To It As A Franchise, But A Franchise Is A Burger King Or A Subway. It's Not A Movie. The People Who Start To Say It Are Generally The People Who Are Making Money Off Of It. They Love It When Something Becomes A Franchise. But, As An Actor, I Think It's Scary.

I Don't Really Like Watching My Stuff. It Makes Me Feel Sick. You Imagine You Look A Certain Way In Your Head, And When It Looks Even The Slightest Bit Different From What You Imagine, You Go, 'rubbish!'

It's A Strange Place Where The Film Industry Is At. I Guess You Could Just Play Superhero After Superhero. That Seems To Be The Only Guaranteed Big-money Thing. I Don't Know.

I Remember When I Was Younger I Used To Write In My Diary: I Want My Luck To Be Spread. “never Give Me Anything Too Lucky All At Once. I'll Take A Little Luck Now And Then, But Spread It For Seventy Years. “now That All Of This Is Happening, I'm Sure The Rest Of My Life Will Be Ruined.

Sometimes I Think, 'to Hell With Acting' And Then I Realize I Could Be Working At A Shoe Shop. Acting Is Much Cooler.

I Am A Big Fan Of Music And Clothing Style Of The 1960s. Whether In England Or The United States, I Like Everything From That Time.

I Don't Think Anyone Can Understand What's Happening. Something Like This Is So Rare. It's A Mix Of Chance And Coincidence. You Wake Up One Day And You're Suddenly A Star.. Really Weird. All Of A Sudden Everyone Knows Who You Are While You Haven't Changed One Bit

Just Last Year I Couldn't Even Get A Date, And Then This Year… It's So Bizarre That Everybody Just Changes Their Mind At The Same Time.

I'd Love To Be Able To Fit In A Box. Like One Of Those People Who Fit Into Small Boxes. I'd Love It.

If It's Just Screaming - And I Know This Sounds So Ridiculous - That Gets Old. But Sometimes When There's Literal Chaos, It's Like Being In A War Zone, And That's Kind Of Exciting. You're Just Running Through The Crowd Of People Chasing After You And No One Knows What's Going On.

I Definitely Want To Record An Album, Direct A Film And Start My Own Religion.

I Would Have Taught Her A Lesson She Wouldn't Forget!

Probably My English Teacher Because She Got Me Into Writing Instead Of Just Answering The Question. I Used To Hand In Homework With 20 Pages Of Nonsense And She'd Still Mark It. She Was A Really Amazing Teacher.

Shooting On The Street In Brazil - Compared To People Trying To Sneak A Picture Of Something, If You're Shooting In The States Or Canada - People Would Literally Just Try To Grab You.

I've Never Met Anyone Who's Left A Comment On Anything. It's Just Demons Who Live In Basements.

It's Not Necessarily That Satisfying Getting Monetary Success, But Sometimes It Keeps The Door Open To Make What You Want To Make.

I Don't Find Myself That Interesting As A Human Being, So I Don't Really Think That Much Of What I Say Or Do Warrants Being Recorded.

I Might Go To Some Tiny Little Town In Idaho With, Like, Three People Living There.

I Wasn't At All Focused On School, And I Didn't Achieve Much. But I've Got A Sense Of Urgency Now. I Feel I Can't Let Any More Time Waste Away.

There's A Thing, In General, About Doing Any Kind Of Series, Especially When The Characters Remain The Same, To Go Back And Try To Improve Whatever You Did In The Last Movie, Which Never Happens.

It's Funny, People Were Asking Me How I'd Feel When It All Ends, On The First Movie, And I Don't Think I've Ever Felt More Completely Bewildered, Knowing That I Only Have A Month Of Twilight Stuff Left To Do.

Up Until I Was 12 My Sisters Used To Dress Me Up As A Girl And Introduce Me As 'claudia'!

I Never Do Anything Normal Anyway. I Just Get Other People To Do It Now.

I Can't See Any Advantage To Fame. I'm Happy With The Life I Have Now. I've Got The Same Two Friends I've Had Since I Was 12, And I Can't See That Changing.

In This Scene, I'm Talking About How Much I Don't Like Cookies.... I'm Sayin', 'listen, Guys. Have You Read The Book? We're Not Supposed To Be Eating.'

I Have Been Playing The Piano For My Entire Life - Since I Was Three.

I Actually Quite Like Working With Kids And I Like Working With Animals, Which Is What Everybody Says You Shouldn't Do, Because It Makes You Feel Like You're Not Acting.

That Was The Good Thing About Having Different Directors [on Series]. You Had To Stay On Your Toes.

I Put A Flower In Someone's Locker When I Was 15 Years Old. This Girl, Called Maria. Maybe I Was 14. She Actually Thought It Was From Someone Else, And The Other Guy Claimed It As Well, Which Was Just Great.

I Was Obsessed With Eminem When I Was Younger. When He First Came Out I Was About 12 And Fanatical About His 'slim Shady' Cd. I Think He's A Genius.

You Really, Really Feel Like You Have No Control [participating In Franchise] . I Mean, It's A Huge Juggernaut, Especially When Something Becomes Part Of The Cultural Landscape In A Way As Well. It's Really Scary Because You Get Trapped And You Get Scared Of Changing, Which Is The Worst Thing That Can Happen If You Want To Be Any Kind Of Artist.

The Golden Globes Are Always Fun Because Everyone's Drinking.

You're Trying To Play An Archetype On One Hand And A Character On The Other, So I Felt Insanely Frustrated, Right Up Until The Last Shot, And Then It Ended.

People Who Are The Most Normal Are Probably The Most Crazy.

There's A Thing, In General, About Doing Any Kind Of Series, Especially When The Characters Remain The Same. It's Just That You Can Go Back And Try And Improve Whatever You Did In The Last Movie, Which Never Happens. That Tone Or Work Ethic Is Nice.

Me, Kristen [stewart] And Taylor [ Lautner] Stood In The Middle Of The Olympic Stadium With 30,000 People Just Screaming For 15 Minutes. It's Absolutely Bizarre. There's No Way You Can Ever Compute It.

I’m, Like, A Compulsive Eater. I’m Going To Be So Fat When I’m Older, It’s Ridiculous.

I Will Keep That A Secret As It Was So Indecent I Doubt She Was In Her Normal State Of Mind When She Made It.

I Don't Think That I Would Ever Do Serenade To Be Romantic. You Have To Have So Much Balls To Do That.

I Get A Lot More Abuse In England. That's Just A General English Attitude. I Did The Same Thing To Famous People. It's Just Your Instinct.

If You Are Using A Digital Camera Specifically For That Reason You Have In Mind From The Beginning, Then Yeah, It'll Work. But Like If You're Just Shooting A Normal Film And Just Kind Of Just Shooting Extra Stuff Because You Can Because You've Got The Memory Space, It's A Bit Pointless.

I Have Been Called Taylor Lautner A Few Time Which I'm Quite Happy About. You Only Have To Look At Us To See How Funny That Is But It's Nice To Pretend I Might Be Hiding A Taylor Six-pack Under My Shirt.

We Didn't Have Packed Lunches At My School. I Was A Lunch Monitor As Well - I Used To Take Everyone's Chips!

I Really Wasn't Very Much Of A Rebel. I'm Seen By People Now As More Of A Rebel Which Is Strange. I Don't Like Doing What People Tell Me To Do. I Don't Deliberately Rebel Against Them.

I'm Trying To Sign Up And Do Movies That I'll Be Proud Of It. That's Kind Of How I Think About It.

I've Said, I Think Since The Second One [part Of Twilight Saga ], That It's Going To Take 10 Years To Really Settle In My Brain, And I'm Four Years Into It.

If You're Happy All Of The Time, It's Difficult To Acknowledge When You Actually Are Happy.

I Never Thought People Would Buy The Soundtrack [to Twilight]. So, It's A Little More Nerve-wracking Now. I Don't Know.

I'm Just A Tool, I'm Just A Big, Hard Tool.

People Will Know You For Whatever They Want To Know You For.

Start Drinking Vodka Instead Of Beer, And Try To Get A Six-pack As Early As Possible And You'll Be A Much More Successful Actor.

My Back Is Too Long Or Something Because My Ass Is Constantly Hanging Out.

I Was Only Given This Life Because I'm Strong Enough To Live It.

I Have Been Lucky, Of Course. Like, Last Year, If I Went Out, I'd Have To Fight To Chat Someone Up. This Year, I Look Exactly The Same, Which Is Really Scruffy, And Yet Lots Of People Seem To Have Just Changed Their Minds And Decided I'm Really Sexy.

I Have A Natural Propensity To Work On Big Piles Of Poop.

My Little Cousin Tells Me I Look Like Magneto So I Guess That's Who I Should Probably Play.

I Think It's Such A Risky Thing Doing Interviews. I Try To Limit The Amount Of Interviews That I Do Because No One Is That Interesting Especially When You're Not Really Saying Anything. And I Don't Particularly Want To Be An Character In Society Or Whatever.

I See Love As An Evolution Of True Friendship.

True Friendship

Your Ideas Dry Up Sometimes, And You Get Lazy Sometimes 'cause You're Around The Same People. That Was The Good Thing About Having Different Directors. You Had To Stay On Your Toes.

I'm Not One Of These Guys Who's Constantly In A Relationship, Not At All

I Didn't Want To Get Stuck In Pretty, Public School Roles, Or I Knew I'd End Up As Some Sort Of Caricature.

The Most Embarassing Is When Friends Ask You To Meet Up With Them And You Have To Tell Them "sorry I Can't Go To That Place" Because You're Fully Aware Photographers Will Be Waiting For You There. I Feel Like Such A Weasle When Things Like That Happen, Like The World Has To Revolve Around Me.

The Whole First Movie [twilight] Was Pretty Fun. I Had Never Really Done A Movie Like It, When There's Such A Big Cast Of People That Are Around About The Same Age. Everyone Didn't Really Know What Was Going To Happen With The Movie, But There Was A Good Energy. There Was Something Which People Were Fighting For In A Way. They Wanted It To Be Something Special. Also, None Of Us Were Really Known Then As Well.

I Can't Say I Prefer Blondes, Brunettes, Or Redheads. I Like Emotion And Elegance. Even Expensive Clothes Do Not Guarantee A Good Look. You Must Be Yourself Above All!

You're Trying To Play Someone [edward Cullen] Who's Seen By A Lot Of People As Being This Perfect Thing, But What Is That? That Doesn't Really Mean Anything. You're Trying To Play An Archetype On One Hand And Then A Character On The Other, So I Felt Insanely Frustrated Right Up Until The Last Shot, And Then It Ended.

It’s Funny Now, Trying To Socialise With People. There’s This Cautiousness About People Which I Just Find Really Weird.

What Is Forever? God, I Don't Know. Hope, I Guess. That's A Difficult Question.

Difficult Questions

People Were Asking Me How I'd Feel When It All Ends, On The First Movie [of The Twilight Saga], And I Don't Think I've Ever Felt More Completely Bewildered Knowing That I Only Have A Month Of Twilight Stuff Left To Do.

Girls, You Know It's All Just A Game To Them, Relationships. Just Go Around Stomping On Everyone.... I Mean, Look At This Poor Guy In The Background With His Collar Up. You Know He's Just Gonna Get Ruined By Women.

People Don't Find The Personal Lives Of People With Much, Much More Power Than Any Celebrity Would Have - Don't Find Their Personal Lives Interesting.

When You Read The [twilight Series], It's Like Saying 'edward Cullen Is So Beautiful I Creamed Myself'. I Mean Every Line Is Like That. He's The Most Ridiculous Person Who's So Amazing At Everything. I Think A Lot Of Actors Tried To Play That Aspect. I Just Couldn't Do It. And The More I Read The Script, The More I Hated This Guy, So That's How I Played Him, As A Manic-depressive Who Hates Himself. Plus, He's A 108-year Old Virgin, So There's Clearly Some Issues There

I Think Someone Follows Me. They Do The Most Random Stuff. I Get A Photo Taken Through A Burger Drive-through Window And It's Like, 'what?'. They Always Seem Like They're Six Feet Away. I Don't Understand. I'm Walking Around And I Don't See Anybody.

I Learned That If A Relationship Is Honest, It Can Last Through Anything Despite All The Challenges We Have To Face And Everything That Happens Around Us.

Money By Martin Amis. I Read It When I Was 15, I Read It Hundreds Of Times Since Then And It Always Makes Me Laugh. Amis Has Managed To Create A World That Is Both Funny And Abrasive. I'd Love To Play John Self, The Depraved Hero, Who's Without Illusions, He Created.

I Like The Story About Me Being Pregnant. It Was In Some Australian Magazine, On The Front Page! I Was Like, 'wow, That's Just [insane].' And It's Not Even Ironic. I Don't Even Think The Article [tried To Justify It]; It Was Just A Headline. The Article Was Just Like, Nothing.

If I Go And Try To Watch A Movie By Myself I'll Be Completely Transfixed The Whole Time, Concentrating One Hundred Percent. But If I'm With Another Person On A Date Or Something, Within Two Minutes I'll Be Like 'this Is Rubbish, This Is Rubbish. We Should Leave And Do Something Else.' I Don't Really Know Why.

I Really Like Blade. I Wish People Would Make Hard R-rated Fantasy Movies Again. It's Completely Irrelevant, But People Should Do That More. I Haven't Seen That Many Vampire Things.

I Don't Think There Is Any Analysis. I Don't Think Anyone Knows Why People Like [the Twilight]. I Don't Think Even The Fans Know Why They Connect With It In The Way They Do. It's A Visceral Thing.

I Think Betty White Is One Of The Sexiest Women In America.

I Never Set Out To Achieve Anything, Certainly Not Fame Like This,i Still Have To Deal With How To Actually Make My Life Work.

It's Awkward Doing It With Anybody, But It's Like Twister.

I Went To One Of These Signing Conventions. It Was One Of The Most Interesting Experiences I've Had. It Was So Strange That People Would Pay For Autographs. You Keep Thinking You Should Do A Little Dance For Them As Well Or Something.

I Don't Really Understand It Even Now, It Does Have An Angle Which Is Attached To Something Quite Primal In Girls. I Guess People Want It To Define Them, Like 'i'm A Twilight Fan.' That's Crazy To Me. I Think People Really Just Like Being Part Of A Crowd. There's Something Just Tremendously Exciting About Hyping Yourself Up To That Level.

There Is A Price, Which You Have To Pay. You Are 24 Hours On The Job, If You Go Out In Public.

People Ask Me If I'm Afraid Of Getting Typecast, But You Can't Be Afraid Of That. It's Really Not Up To You. I'm Getting Other Parts That Aren't Vampires. I Don't Know If People Will Accept Me In Them, Or Whatever, But There's Really Nothing To Be Afraid Of.

I Want To Be With My Wife. Sitting On A Deckchair, Sipping Some Tea, And Reading Books In A Retirement Home, In A Beautiful And Warm Place. I'm A Romantic Guy.

I Like Being Meticulous And It's Quite Difficult As An Actor To Have That Much Control.

Everyone Just Screams And Screams And Screams. I Have Accepted It As Real Now, But It Still Feels Surreal.

I Quite Liked Sharkey And George And Then There Was A Cartoon With Rapper Mc Hammer In It - Hammertime - I Loved That Cartoon, It Was Genius! They Don't Make Cartoons Like That Anymore.

I Never Really Considered Myself Attractive, Really. I Was Always Kind Of Gangly In School.

Recently I Stood In The Desert, Far Out Side Of L. A., And Watched The Sun Set On A Circus Tent From 1930. Every Where Stood Animals: Elephants, Tigers That Should Be Loaded Into A Steam Train. 300 Extras In Costumes Raced Around, The Modern World Had Disappeared Totally. Although That Was Totally Fake, It Still Happened Directly Before My Eyes! That Was My Perfect Day. I Would Be Gladly Experience That Every Day. It Happens Continually To Me: It Calls Itself Work. That Is Wonderful And More Than Enough.

You Have This Weird Thing Where You End Up Trying To Fight Against This Faceless Blob, Where The More You Hate It, The Bigger It Gets, Because It's All In Your Head.

I Also Think If You Get Sort Of Early Success There's Always This Part Of You Which Feels Like, "i Need To Address The Imbalance, I Need To Kind Of Earn That Success After The Fact". I Try To Find Roles That Are Hard And Also, I Still Find Now, Even After I've Done Loads Of Really Random Movies, Directors Are Really Surprised That I Want To Play The Parts That I Want To Play. They Just Assume That You Want To Only Do The Honorable Good Guy Lead Who Saves The Day Or Dies At The End .

Peter [facinelli] Would Be So Good At Doing That. I Want Him To Do The Beyoncé Biopic.

Sometimes I Think I Look Like I've Had Facial Reconstructive Surgery. Like After Burns.

I Got £25. My Friends All Gave Me £5. It Was A Very Thoughtful Present.

Very Thoughtful

I'm A Lucky Person. Thank God. And I'm Conflicted. Thank God.

I Hope There Is Such A Thing. I Guess It Would Be Quite Scary To Find A Soul Mate When You're Young Because You're Probably Going To Mess It Up.

Music Means Freedom To Me. But In Acting You Can Pretend To Be Someone Else And I Like That.

It's Always Been Strange To Me That Someone Can Say They're A Vampire Fan. I'm Not A Non-fan, But It's Such An Unusual Thing To Be A Fan Of. That's Like Saying, "i Love Zombie Movies! I Just Love 'em! They're My Favorite!" That's More Of A Psychological Problem Than Being An Actual Fan.

I Always Think Everything Is Going To Be My Last Job So Every Single Day Is A Gift. This Whole Life Is An Accident For Me.

I Really Like Nicki Minaj. I Think She's Great.

As Soon As You Have Someone Who's Providing Stuff To React To, Especially Working With A Baby, It's Great.

I Still Had The Same Frustration With Trying To Play [edward Cullen], The Entire Way Through, Right Up Until The Last Shot. It's A Strange Part Because, On The One Hand, A Lot Of The Audience Projects Their Idea Of Edward[cullen] Onto Him. It Doesn't Matter What He Is. They Want Him To Be A Certain Way. And Then, My Instincts Were To Try And Play It And To Try To Find The Fallibility In Him And The Weaknesses.

It's Fun To Deal With The Terror And The Huge Highs And Lows Of Things. We're Still Getting Massive Surprises, Every Time You Have Any Kind Of Twilight-related Event Or Anything.

The Person Who Proclaimed Me Best Dressed Man Never Saw Me In My Sport Outfit.

I Thought I Knew It All. Again, I Knew Absolutely Nothing.

Absolutely Nothing

I Still Remember, I Think It Was With The Third Movie, When We Went To Munich And The Entire Olympic Stadium Was Filled With Fans, And Just To Walk In There And Do Nothing.

People Don’t Find The Personal Lives Of People With Much, Much More Power Than Any Celebrity Would Have — Don’t Find Their Personal Lives Interesting. I Think If You Put The Lives Of People Who Controlled Billions Of Dollars On The Front News Of Every Single Paper, The World Would Be A Better Place. It’s The Spin Culture. If You Took Away Publicists And Things And People Spoke For Themselves, Then They’d Have To Be Responsible For Their Words.

I Feel Like You Have To Earn Something With An Audience. If I Just Did It Now, I Think Producers On Any Superhero Movie, I Think They Wouldn't Trust Me To Do It The Way I'd Want To Do It, Because I'd Want To Do Something Basically Really Strange. I Think You Have To Earn That Freedom To Do Stuff Like That. So I Think, If I Keep Kind Of Chipping Away, Trying To Do Good Movies And Interesting, Strange Movies Then People Will Eventually Trust You To Do That On A Bigger Scale.

Outside Of My Family, I Don't Really Know. They're Great People And My Parents Are Great Parents, And They Brought Me Up Very Well, I Think. I Don't Know, I Think That's About All The Heroes I've Had.

[a Fan] Said, 'what Can I Do To Get Your Attention?' I Was Like 'um, Just Take Your Clothes Off.' She Stood There And Frantically Started Taking Her Clothes Off And Got Dragged Out Of The Room By Security.

It's Hard For Them Because They Want To Be Proud Of Me, But I Keep Reminding Them That It's All Luck. Luck Is What Got Me Here, Nothing Else.

Twilight Fans Are Literally On The Verge Of Being Clinically Insane.

In A Lot Of Ways, I Was Kind Of Crossing Lines Of What I Thought I Was Comfortable Doing. I Had To Do All This Naked Stuff.

I Aspire To Be Jack Nicholson. I Love His Every Single Mannerism. I Used To Try And Be Him In Virtually Everything I Did, I Don't Know Why. I Watched One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest When I Was About 13, And I Dressed Like Him. I Tried To Do His Accent. I Did Everything Like Him. I Think It Kind Of Stuck With Me.

The Only Emotional Connection Of Relevance Is With My Dog. My Relationship With My Dog, It's Ridiculous.

I Don't Know What To Say To People. It's Become So Big. It's Become Part Of The Cultural Environment. For The First And Second Twiglight, I Knew Exactly What To Say To People. If You Don't Know What The Story Is By Now, Then You've Probably Never Been To The Cinema Before. How About, "why Not Go To The Cinema For Once?" I Don't Know.

I Never Ever Would Have Thought Initially It Would Have Been Someone Like Pierce Playing Charles. I Think He Has An Innate Likeability To Him, As Soon As You Meet Him He's Very, Very Charismatic. Charles, On The Page, Was Someone Who's Very Domineering And Quite A Negative Character, And Pierce Just By Being Pierce Can Change The Whole Dynamic Of It, Which Made For A Much For Interesting Relationship. He's A Really Nice Guy.

This Is Quite Difficult 'cause I Have A Really Flat Head, And So It's Quite Difficult To Get A Correct Angle. And You Can't Go Up From Down Below As Well, 'cause I've Got, Like, Rock Solid Gelled Hair. And So, Like, It Was Odd. I Don't Know, Sometimes I Feel Like My Head Is Being, Like, Turned Inside Out. Like That Episode Of Ren & Stimpy When He's Inside His Own Belly Button. I Don't Know.

One Of The Interesting Things About Having An International Fanbase Is That Every Single Country Has A Different Reaction To You And To The Movie.

When You Love Someone, You Want That Person To Know That She's Is Your Everything.

When You Love Someone

My Worst Habit Is Speaking To Much

I Had To Do Two Roles In Two Days, I'm In A Hairflux.

People Would Be In Hysterics If They Saw That. It's Like, Wow, He's A Superhuman Moron.... So He Wears Lipstick, Has A Little Bouffant, And Does Little Circus Acts As Well. Oh, He's So Sexy.

I’ve Always Said To My Agents And Stuff, Like, It’s Going To Be 10 Years Before People Forget About Twilight, And That’s Totally Understandable. Normally People Keep Working And Working Until Their Big Break. You Just Keep Trying To Make The Best Of Your Decisions. Like I Try To Think How I Used To Think Before All The Twilight Movies.

It Makes Me Feel Like Working Non-stop: At Least, On Sets, The Level Of Security Gives Me A Bit Of Privacy. It's A Relief.

The First Period Of Getting Famous Was Incredibly Strange To Me And Really Fun At The Beginning Because You Didn't Realise The Consequences Of Anything. You Could Say Or Do Whatever You Wanted And It Just Didn't Matter.

I Don't Know [what Things Are Forever]. Friendship. I Can Think Of Lots Of Things.

I Liked A Lot Of Tyler's Character, The Rebelliousness And Audaciousness Of It, It's Like A Fantasy Of Myself, Like Yeah, I'm The Kind Of Guy Who Just Randomly Gets In Fights. Yeah, I Do It All The Time. But, Not Really.

I Just Saw Twilight On Tv, For The First Time, A Few Days Ago, And, When My Song Came On, I Was Just Thinking That Is So Bazaar That I Actually Had A Song In The Movie.

I'm Almost Completely Deaf Anyway. So I'm Worried. I'm Very Worried.

I’m Just Trying To Not Be In Stupid Gossip Magazines, Basically, And I Think The Best Way To Do It Is Never Be Photographed Ever. As I Get Older, I Just Get More And More And More Self-conscious About Getting Photographed. I Don’t Know Why. I’ve Done It Too Many Times And Now I Feel Like Everyone Can See Through Me.

What Was The Worst Thing [making Twiligh]? Playing The Part Where You Can't Get Hurt And You Can't Die Because There's No Framework. There Are Too Many Possibilities If You Can't Die. If You're Playing A Normal Human Being, There's Always That.

I Always Think That You Have To Have A Certain Understanding Of What An Audience Would Want To See From You As A Public Person As Well As A Character.

Since The Day I Finished Shooting There's Been At Least One Person Come Up To Me Every Single Day And Then After The Trailer Came Out, At Least Four. It's Absolutely Bizarre To Me. This Was Before There Was Any Systematic Promotion Of The Movie. It's Just Completely Nuts.

I Haven't Found One Place In The World Yet Where I Could Disappear.

I Think That's Just A General English Attitude [being Abusive]. I Did The Same Thing To Famous People.

I'm So Surprised It's Worked Out That Way. I Was Just Thinking The Whole Time That I've Never Had The Personality To Fit Into That. I'm Not Really Afraid Of It, Because I Don't Even Know How To Play Up That Aspect.

My Dad Said To Me The Other Day, I Really Am An Artistic Person. I Was Shocked As I Never Saw Him As A Creative. I Think Me And My Sisters Are Living Out That Side Of Him As My Sister Is Another Creative Person, She's A Songwriter.

I Don't Think Anyone Knows Why People Like [twilight]. I Don't Think Even The Fans Know Why They Connect With It The Way They Do. It's A Visceral Thing.

School Reports Were Always Pretty Bad - I Never Ever Did My Homework. I Always Turned Up For Lessons As I Liked My Teachers But My Report Said I Didn't Try Very Hard.

I Always Get Carried Away When I'm Kissing. I Just Go Nuts! Walking Away After It Is The Strangest Moment For Me. It's Embarrassing - Not Knowing What To Say To Each Other.

I Had Pecs For About Two Days. Everyone Would Hate Me. Just Look At Me Walking Around With My Little Peacoat On. My Little Customized Pea Coat.

If I Could Get Any Semblance Of - It's Not Really Anonymity, But A Little Bit More - Control Over My Public Image, I Guess That Would Be Nice.

I Guess I Had To Learn How To Run Properly. I Spent A Lot Of Time On A Giant Treadmill, Like One Of Those Wheels Mice Run Around On, And Got Filmed Doing It To Improve My Form.

Most Of The Time I'm By Myself Finding The Next Thing. Being An A&r Guy, Basically. I Don't Know How Long I Can Do This For. I'm Constantly Fascinated By Actors Who Are So Confident With Their Career That They Do A Project And Then Go On Vacation.

I Don't Know How People Will Remember This Series [of The Twilight Saga] At All. It's Crazy How Intense People Are.

I Thought I Was Supposed To Have A Fake Six-pack In This Scene

I Prefer To Be Someone Who Has To Confront His Many Fears Instead Of Someone Who Has The Illusion He Doesn't Fear Anything

I Had A Stalker While Filming A Movie In Spain Last Year. She Stood Outside My Apartment Every Day For Weeks – All Day, Every Day. I Was So Bored And Lonely That I Went Out And Had Dinner With [her]. I Just Complained About Everything In My Life And She Never Came Back.
