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.

More From Robert Pattinson

My Worst Habit Is Speaking To Much

If I Had Known That This Movie Would Bring So Much Craziness, I Don't Know If I Would Have Said 'yes' To The Twilight Saga. I Never Asked To Be A Poster-boy.

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.

In America There Is A Channel Called Trutv Which Is Just Reruns Of 'cops' And 'world's Dumbest Criminals'. I Could Watch That The Entire Day.

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.

Up Until I Was 12 My Sisters Used To Dress Me Up As A Girl And Introduce Me As 'claudia'! Twelve Was A Real Turning Point For Me As I Moved To A Mixed School, And Then I Became Cool And Discovered Hair Gel.

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.

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.

This Thing With Everyone Knowing You It’s Weird, Because People Have This One-sided Relationship Where They Look At Your Picture And Feel They Know You More Than Someone They Actually Know. I Don’t Really Know Myself That Well.

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.

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

I Don't Even Know If Stephenie Meyer Could Tell You Why She Was So Fixated On This Very, Very Contained Story [the Twilight] With Obsessive Characters. It's Just An Anomaly. That's A Terrible Answer. I Don't Know.

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

The Script Changed So Much Over Seven Months And Just Had Loads And Loads Of Re-writes. I Tried To Tailor Things To What I Was Interested In, Like The Relationship With The Dad Changed Quite A Lot Because I Thought One Of The Things When You're A Young Guy One Of Your Biggest Fears Is This Irrational Fear Of Walking In Your Dad's Footsteps And Living The Same Life As Him. I Thought, Even If Your Dad's A Good Guy, You Just Want To Assert Your Independence On Everything And It Causes These Irrational Sort Of Rages.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

Umm Thanks For The Phone. I Think I Already Broke It.

I'm Always Shocked By The People Who I'm Attracted To. It's Always Completely Random. I Generally Like People Who Are A Bit Crazy But Yeah, That's Pretty Much My Only Prerequisite.

In Some Ways I Would Like To Be Like Tyler, My Character In The Film.

It's A Little Bit Over The Top. I Feel The Same In My Head I Guess. I Was Quite A Paranoid Person Anyway, So It Doesn't Really Feed Well When People Are Looking At You. I'm Not Really In The Right Job. I Don't Like Having My Photo Taken. I Don't Like The Attention.

What Worries Me The Most Is That I Don't Know When My Patience Will Run Out, When I'll Finally Do Something Really Stupid. Wait And See.

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 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.

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

I Keep Forgetting I'm Speaking In An American Accent Sometimes. The Dangerous Thing Is That You End Up Forgetting What Your Real Accent Is After A While! It's Really Strange; I've Never Done A Job In An American Accent Before.

My Ideal Of Manliness Is To Be Incapable Of Doing Anything

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.

My Dad Says He Likes To Bask In My Glow.

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 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.

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.

I'm Not Particularly Good At Coping With It. I Just Cope. I Just Leave My Brain At The Door And Just Stand There. I Can Get The Screaming More Than I Get The Photo Things. That's The Worst, When You Have This Wall Of Photographers. I've Never Understood The Logic In How They Do It. Everybody Shouts At The Same Time, And You're Trying To Do A Logical Thing, Looking From The Left To The Right. And They Almost Always End Up Looking Disappointed With You Afterwards.

Nothing Can Be Good If You Do It For Money Or For Fame.

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

On One Occasion I Got This Really Bizarre Horoscope Thing From Someone. It Was A Full-on Zodiac Reading, Charting And Intersecting All This Stuff. It Was Over 20 Pages Long And Said We're Destined To Be Together. That Was Totally Bizarre. I Don't Really Believe In That Stuff Anyway, Although I Do Believe In Karma Because It's Already Bitten Me On The Ass So Many Times.

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.

Whenever I Have To Do Anything Fan-related There's Always A Whole Bunch Of People. My Brain Kind Of Shuts Down When There Are Loads Of People Screaming At Me. I'm Not Thinking At All So I Can't Really Remember What's Happened Immediately Afterwards.

It's Easy To Get Stagnate, If You Play The Same Character. In New Moon, I Felt Like I Was Going A Little Bit Deeper.

I'm Curious To See What Happens In England Because In All This Madness I Think I Can Always Go Home To England And It'll All Turn Off.

I Don't Really Know [who My Favorite Vampire Is]. I Always Think, 'ethan Hawke In Interview With A Vampire,' And Someone Will Say, 'he's Not The Vampire. He's The Interviewer.'

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.

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.

There Are Too Many Possibilities, If You Can't Die. If You're Playing A Normal Human Being, There's Always That.

If You Took Away Publicists And Things And People Spoke For Themselves, Then They'd Have To Be Responsible For Their Words.

I Was At A Small Private School In London. I Wasn't Very Academic. My Dad Said To Me, 'ok, You Might As Well Leave, Since You're Not Working Very Hard'. When I Told I Him Wanted To Stay On For My A-levels, He Said I'd Have To Pay My Own Fees, Then He'd Pay Me Back If I Got Good Grades.

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.

I Have Very, Very Low Expenditures, But Still I Manage To Spend It All. I Guess Hot Pockets Are More Expensive Than I Thought.

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.

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)

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.

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.

The Only Thing That You Can Do Is Do Jobs And See If People Respond To That. I'm Always Holding Onto The Fact That I Don't Really Know Who I Am. Hopefully I Won't Compartmentalize Myself Because Of That, Because I'm Completely Ignorant Of The Whole.

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.

Only For Practical Reasons. To Find Out If I Said Something Stupid In An Interview. So I Can Limit The Damage.

I Can’t Remember Who Said It, But A Soul And A Heaven Must Exist Because Good People Aren’t Rewarded Enough On Earth. I Always Liked That Idea, If That Makes Sense.

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

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

My Dream Job Is Being A Pianist

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 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.

It's Funny What You Really See When You're The Subject Of The Completely Bizarre Gossip Magazine Industry. It's Just Like, 'what?!?' All This Stuff With Emilie [de Ravin, His Costar In Remember Me] As Well. The Tabloids Say Stuff Like 'they Went On A Date To An Indian Restaurant.' We Were Doing A Scene! There's A Film Crew There!

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.

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.

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

I Went To Do My First Big Movie When I Was 17. I Was In South Africa For Three And Half Months, And I Was By Myself.

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.

It's Insane. I've Had Girls Throwing Themselves At Me Since The Hype Started. Now The Film's Out I Can't Walk Down The Street Without Being Pounced On. All My Life I've Hated Crowds. Now I Only Have To Step Outdoors And I'm At The Centre Of One. It's Very Cool But It's Very Uncomfortable Too.

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

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 Actually Quite Like Working With Kids And I Like Working With Animals, Which Everybody Says You Shouldn't Do. It Makes You Feel Like You're Not Acting, As Soon As You Have Someone Who's Providing Stuff To React To.

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

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

Every Time I Would Say Put A Baby In Every Scene.

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.

You Can Make Five Massive Hits In A Row And Still Not Get Cast By The Directors Who You Want To Work With Doing Little Movies.

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

When You Love Someone

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.

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.

A 17-year-old Girl In Australia Hacked Into My E-mail While I Was On It, Then A 15-year-old Girl In England Did The Same Thing.

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

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.

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.

Never Trust A Guy Who Plucks His Eyebrows.

I'd Love To Have A Family -- Sometime In The Future.

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.

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

I Don't Really See The Point In Washing Your Hair. If You Don't Care If Your Hair's Clean Or Not Then Why Would You Wash It?

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

With Eclipse, I Felt Like I Was Doing A Completely Different Movie And A Completely Different Character. So, Yeah, It Was Nice And Challenging.

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.

Christoph Waltz Is Stunning, An Insanely Nice Guy. He Is Not Only A Ridiculously Good Actor, He’s Also Funny, Helpful & A Good Colleague. I Like His Work Ethic. I Mean, The Guy Has Won An Oscar And Despite That He Is Receptive, Open-minded & Not The Least Bit Snooty. Reese Witherspoon Is The Same. It May Be The Nicest Cast That I Have Worked With Yet.

I Went Out A Couple Of Times With Pierce. He's Totally Recognizable, And He Makes No Effort To Tone It Down. Some People Were Glancing Over At Us In The Restaurant, And He Just Went Over And Introduced Himself. And It Does Work. It Dissipates All The Attention. Me? I Just Crawl Under The Table.

Xavier Would Be Such A Great Burger. He's All Covered In Spread.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I Walked Out The Wrong Car Door And Started Walking Into The Crowd, An Interviewer Said, 'give Your Best Horror Scream,' And Stan Did This Great Scream, And I Was Too Much Of A Wimp To Do One. It Was Pathetic!

I Have To Look Over My Shoulder All The Time, Be Really Vigilant Because At Any Moment, Someone Could Be Filming Me Or Recording What I'm Saying.

I'm Just Scared Of Crowds. I Just Think People Require Things Of Me Whenever There's A Screaming Crowd, And I Always Think I Won't Be Able To Provide What They Want, So That's Why I Look Scared All The Time.

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.

I Have No Reason To Influence People. I Just Want To Have It All For Myself. I Just Want Someone To Pat Me On The Back. (laugh) It's Crazy. It Seems Just Completely Ridiculous. I Don't Know Why. I Mean, Three Years Ago, I Wouldn't Be Able To Influence My Dog To Walk.

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.

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.

All Of My Favourite Actors Are American And I Grew Up Watching American Movies. It's Weird, But I Used To Do A New Jersey Accent In Every Audition In The States Just Because I Liked To Do It, Really. It's Completely Bizarre. Everybody Would Ask: 'where Are You From?' And I Would Say, 'oh, I'm From London.'

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

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?

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

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

I Want To Strangle Whoever Invented That R-patz Thing.

When Something Or Someone Is Hyped And You're Put On The Forefront Of A Lot Of Things, People Want To Tear You Down. That's Kind Of Scary, Especially When You're Not Really Putting Yourself Out There.

In 15 Years Or Something - I Like The Idea Of Just One Paparazzo Coming Out And Trying To Get A Picture, And I Just Beat The Shit Out Of Him. I Mean - Out Of Nowhere - When My Picture's Not Even Worth...and I've Spent All My Money, So You Can't Sue Me!

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.

The Only Time I Ever Follow Twitter Is If I'm In A Restaurant Or Something, Just Before I Leave, To See If People Are Waiting Outside. It Does Make You A Bit Of A Loser, Especially When Someone Asks You, 'hey, You Want To Go To Dinner At This Place?' And I'm Like, 'can We Have Dinner At This Place? It Has Three Exits.'

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

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

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.

All The Time. A Few Months Ago I Came Really Close To Losing It, I Was Getting Really Paranoid. And Then I Started A New Job, Things Fixed Themselves. I Can't Turn My Back On The Situation And Ignore It. If Tomorrow I Say: "okay, I've Had Enough, We're Stopping Everything" It Won't Change Anything. Might As Well Try To Accept It And Stay Zen As I Have No Control Over It.

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!'

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 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.

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 Never Understood The Nudity Thing. I’m So Envious Of People Who Can Walk Around Naked.

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

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

I Don't Even Know If Stephenie [meyer] Could Tell You Why She Was So Fixated On [twilight] Very, Very Contained Story About These Very Obsessive Characters. It's Just An Anomaly.

Honestly, I Didn't Think That I Would Be Recognized So Easily.

I Wanted To Play Piano In Restaurants In The South Of France. I Went There On Holiday Once And I Saw This Guy Playing In An Old Tuxedo. He Was All Disheveled, With A Whisky Glass On The Piano. I Thought That Was The Coolest Thing. So What's Happened To Me With 'twilight' Isn't Really What I'd Planned.

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.

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.

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.

I Think The Most Stressful Thing In Movies Is When The Weather Is Really Random.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Absolutely Nothing

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

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.

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.

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 Kind Of Wish People Didn’t Know Who I Am, That I Could Just Lie, Say I’m A Speechwriter For Obama. This Is What I Said Before Twilight. And Then Obama Came Along And Picked Up All These Young Writers. I Found Out This Guy, Jon Favreau — Who’s Not The Actor Jon Favreau — Is Writing For Him. And I Was Like, Wow, I Wonder If The People Who Thought I Was Bullshitting At The Time Are Like, ‘oh My God. That Guy! That Kid Who Was Drunk In Some Bar Actually Wrote The Health Care Bill!’

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

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 Am Now Determined To Do Really Weird Parts But I Think I Overdo It In Auditions So Nobody Really Trusts Me!

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.

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.

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

New York Seems Very Very Foreign To Me, Like More Foreign Than Almost Anywhere In America, And Almost Anywhere In The World, I Find It Like One Of The Most Overwhelming Places.

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

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.

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 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.

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.

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

I Wanted To Work With An Elephant.

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

If You're A Fan Of It, There's A Lot Of Things That Plays Into What The Fans Of The Series Want. If You've Never Seen Them Before, A Lot Of People Who Have Seen It Tell Me That It's The Most Accessible Of The Three. It's A Solid Story, By Itself, And It's More Of A Sort Of Action Film. When I Was Watching Twilight The Other Day, I Realized That You Do Need To Read The Book To Get It.

The Girly Movie I Secretly Love Is Pippy Longstockings.

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.

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

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.

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

I'll Probably Go To London And Hide.

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 .

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.

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.

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.

When You Really Love Some One And You Go To Bed With Them, You Always Want To Give More Than Just Sex.

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

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.

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.

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.

Frankly, I Have No Sex Appeal. Just Strolling In Los Angeles, London, Or Paris, You Will Find A Bunch Of Young Guys Like Me. I Am Not James Dean.

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

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.

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 Can't Deal With Criticism Very Well. I've Already Got It From One Angle. I Don't Need It From Anything Else.

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.

I'd Like To Be Called Ransom Spunk Or Spunk Ransom.

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.

I Don't Listen To Anyone Else. That's Why I Don't Have A Publicist Or Something Like That. I Can't Stand It If Someone's Trying To Tell Me To Do Something Which Might Be A Mistake Sometimes.

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

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

When Someone Tells You The Fundamentals You Think That Everything's Going To Come Out And Be Amazing.

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.
