More From Robert Pattinson

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

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.

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

Difficult Questions

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 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.

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.

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)

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.

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 Look A Bit Like Him.

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.

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 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.

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

People Just Project Their Idea Of My Character On To Me And They Just Seem To Assume That I'm The Same, When In Reality I'm Not.

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

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.

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.

I Don't Know Much About Contemporary Music. I Do Have An Ipod But I Listen To A Lot Of Old Blues. I Listen To John Lee Hooker And Elmore James. I Have Been Listening To Them For Years. I Was Obsessed With Van Morrison For Years. I Went To See Him Recently Where He Performed Astral Weeks. I Just Spent The Entire Night Crying, But I Was Really Obsessed With Van Morrison.

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

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.

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

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.

The Other Night I Went Out To Have Dinner In A London Pub And The Barmaid Had This Whole Conversation Saying, 'you Look Just Like That Guy From Twilight'. Every Time She Came Up, She Said Something Like, 'you Literally Could Be His Brother'. But She Never Put Two And Two Together.

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

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.

It Happened While I Was Filming “water For Elephants In Which My Partner Is Reese Witherspoon. We Had A Scene With Elephants But There Were So Many Paparazzi Around That It Was Scaring The Animals And It Was Impossible To Film. Out Of The Blue, Fans, That Were Waiting For Autographs, Had Enough And Circled Around The Paparazzi. Teens Made Big Guys Run Away. It Was Unreal! I Was Pleased.

It's Been Amazing To Play The Same Character Through So Many Adventures. And It's So Strange Because My Life Has Changed So Much Over These Years, But 'twilight' And Edward Cullen Will Always Be A Part Of Me. It's Been My Whole Life. My Whole 20s. And I Wouldn't Have It Any Other Way.

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.

To Be Honest, Everyone Thinks That A Digital Camera Is More Reliable And Every Single Time I Work On Any Movie, It's Just As Many Problems, The Memory Card Doesn't Work Or Blah Blah Blah, It Overheats; It's The Same Volume As Another Camera. I Think People Are Bit Taken In By It.

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

My Dream Job Is Being A Pianist

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.

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

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

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

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

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

It's Strange Because I'm A Sex Symbol To 14-year-old Girls Which I Guess Is Not The Most Helpful Situation To Be In. But Yeah, I've Never Really Thought Of It. It's Just So Funny. I Mean, Just Last Year I Couldn't Even Get A Date And Then This Year, The World Turns And It's So Bizarre That Everybody Just Changes Their Mind At The Same Time.

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.

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 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 Read Some Gossip Thing Saying, Because I Looked Really Uncomfortable In A Paparazzi Photo Or Something, They're Like, 'he Should Get Used To It. That's The Price To Pay If You're Getting $12m A Movie'. If I'm Getting Paid $12m A Movie I'd Walk Around Naked. That's All Nonsense. I Don't Know Who Makes That Stuff Up. Even The Price For The First One Was Nonsense.

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 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.

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 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.

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.

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

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

I Don't Know If I Could Ever Really Be Cast In A Heartthrob Role Apart From 'twilight,' Which I Didn't Really Know Was A Heartthrob Role. I Really Don't Feel I Am One.

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.

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 Wanted To Work With An Elephant.

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.

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 .

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.

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

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

I Don't Know How Many More Of These Awards I Can Come Up For Because I Think A Little Bit Is Coming Out Of My Pants Right Now.

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 See Love As An Evolution Of True Friendship.

True Friendship

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

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.

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 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.

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.

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

My Dad Says He Likes To Bask In My Glow.

The Only Way To Establish Any Kind Of Mystique, Is To Completely Shut Up And Never Talk To Anyone. And I'm Contractually Obligated Not To Shut Up.

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.

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

If You Find A Girl Who Reads, Keeps Her Close. When You Find Her Up At 2 Am Clutching A Book To Her Chest And Weeping, Make Her A Cup Of Tea (coffee) And Hold Her. You May Lose Her For A Couple Of Hours But She Will Always Come Back To You. She'll Talk As If The Characters In The Book Are Real Because, For A While, They Always Are. Date A Girl Who Reads Because You Deserve It. You Deserve A Girl Who Can Give You The Most Colorful Life Imaginable.

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

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

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. None Of Us Were Really Known Then, As Well. It Felt Like A Big Deal, At The Time.

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

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.

Alot Of People Think Our Lives Are All About Taking Pictures And Stuff Like That. But It Becomes A Real Bother When They're Taking Pictures Of You All The Time.

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.

I Have So Much Residue Crap In My Hair From Years And Years Of Not Washing It And Not Having Any Sense Of Personal Hygiene Whatsoever. Even Today, I Go Into These Things Where I'm Supposed To Be This Sexy Guy Or Whatever, And I'm Literally Asking, 'if I Get Plumes Of Dandruff On Me, Can You Just Brush It Off?'

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

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.

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.

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

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!

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

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

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

You Feel Quite Strangely Secure [doing Any Kind Of Series]. It's The Opposite Of How You're Supposed To Feel Doing A Movie.

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 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 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 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.

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

My Ideal Of Manliness Is To Be Incapable Of Doing Anything

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

Never Trust A Guy Who Plucks His Eyebrows.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

I Haven't Really Decided To Be An Actor Yet! I Started Doing Plays When I Was About 15 Or 16. I Only Did It Because My Dad Saw A Bunch Of Pretty Girls In A Restaurant And He Asked Them Where They Came From And They Said Drama Group. He Said, 'son, That Is Where You Need To Go.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.'

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

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

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.

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 Don't Know If I'm Particularly Funny, I Mean One Of My Legs Is Shorter Than The Other One, It Makes Everything Look Very Awkward, So I Can Just Pretty Much Look Like An Idiot, But I Don't Know Whether I Can Be Like Witty. It Could Be A Problem.

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 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.

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.

Having A Persona People Recognize, It's The Thing That Probably Gets You Paid The Most - But It's Also The Thing That Virtually Every Actor In The World Doesn't Want. 'cause, Like, No One Would Believe Me If I Wanted To Play Something Ultra-realistic, Like A Gangster Or Something.

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.

Sometimes Just When I Say Hello The Right Way, I'm Like, 'whoa, I'm So Cool.'

I'm Really Afraid Of Getting Hit By Cars, Like Terrified Of It. I`m Terrified Of Crossing Streets. I'm Also Very Accident-prone...i Think People Aim For Me.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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 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.

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.

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 26 Is The Turning Point. I’ve Got To Make Up For 10 Years Of Living Like A Degenerate. I’ve Suddenly Become Conscious Of Being Unhealthy. You’ve Spent Every Bit Of Free Time Since [the Age Of ] 15 In A Pub. And Suddenly You’re Like, ‘oh God, I Don’t Want To Be This Grey Ghost Sitting There With A Pot Belly. I’ve Got To Get It Together.

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

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.

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!

I'll Probably Go To London And Hide.

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 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.

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

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

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!

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

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

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 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 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?

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.

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!'

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!’

My Biggest Problem In My Life Is I'm Cheap And I Didn't Hire A Publicist. In Every Awkward Interview, Normally Actors Get These Things Scripted.

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.

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 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.

[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.

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.'

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.

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.

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

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

Very Thoughtful

When The Whole World Is Watching You, They Create Stories And Give You Labels That Have Nothing To Do With You. It's Almost Impossible For You Not To Explode!

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.

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.

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

It Was Hilarious [last Scene With Edward Cullen] Considering We'd Spent The Entire Series Filming In The Most Miserable Conditions, And Then We End On The Beach In The Caribbean Filming For Two Days In The Sea. That Was Fun. We Literally Did The Last Shot As The Sun Was Coming Up In St. Thomas In The Virgin Islands. It Was A Nice Way To End It, Because They Were Considering Shooting It In The Sea In Vancouver, Which Would Not Have Worked At All.

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.

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

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.

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

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 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.

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

When You Love Someone

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

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

I Don't Know What's Wrong With Me, My Brain Doesn't Work Anymore. I Haven't Any Memory. I Can't Write. All I Can Do Is Sign My Name. I Tried To Write The Other Day-it Looked Like I Was Writing In Braille.

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.

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 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 Used To Wear My Mom's Wayfarers. When The People Of Ray Ban Noticed That, They Sent Me A Box Full Of Sunglasses, Two And A Half Years Ago. Now They're All Gone. They've Disappeared During Trips, Many Were Also Stolen From Me, The Rest I Lost Again And Again. Now I Have Only One Pair Left.

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.

I Remember When I Was A Teenager Thinking My Girlfriend Was Cheating On Me, And Going Around Riling Myself Up. Pretending To Cry. It Was Totally Illegitimate-i Actually Didn't Feel Anything. I Went To Some Pub And Then Went Crying All The Way Home. And I Got Into My Dog's Bed. I Was Crying And Holding On To The Dog. I Woke Up In The Morning, And The Dog Was Looking At Me Like, 'you're A Fake.'
