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

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.

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 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.

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

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 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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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'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 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 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.

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'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.

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.'

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.

My Dream Job Is Being A Pianist

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.

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.

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

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.

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

Difficult Questions

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

After The First One [twilight Saga Movie], As Soon As People Start Referring To Something As A Franchise. 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. That's How They Refer To It. They Love It When Something Has Become A Franchise. But, As An Actor, I Think It's Scary.

What's It Like Kissing Taylor Lautner.

I'm Not One Of These Guys Who's Constantly In A Relationship, Not 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 Was Just Taking Out My Trash And I Had, Like, 300 Cans Of Diet Coke. It Was Just Like, 'how Did That Happen?' I Don't Even Remember Buying Them. I Also Like Cinnamon Toast Crunch. My Addictions Are Pretty Much The Only Things I Consume.

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

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

Never Trust A Guy Who Plucks His Eyebrows.

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.

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

Absolutely Nothing

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.

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?

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 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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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 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 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 Started Doing A Paper Round When I Was About 10. I Started Earning $10 A Week And Then I Was Obsessed With Earning Money Until I Was About 15.

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.

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

Very Thoughtful

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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 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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

My Ideal Of Manliness Is To Be Incapable Of Doing Anything

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.

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.

Someone Stole My Shoelaces Once From My Shoes. I Still Wear Them And Never Put Laces In Them - They're Like My Trademark Shoes Now!

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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

Everyone Used To Chuck Snails At Each Other At School, And I Used To Try And Save Them. And Not Only Did I Get In Trouble For It, I Got Suspended For Doing It. For Saving The Snails I Kept About Four Or Five Hundred Of Them At The Back Of The Class -- In Snail Land. We Were Like Six Or Seven Or Something, People Didn't Even Realise What They Were Doing. I Had A Strange Compassion For Snails. And The Teacher Just Chucked Them All In The Trash In The End.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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 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!

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

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.'

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.

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.

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

You Can Make Five Massive Hits In A Row And Still Not Get Cast By The Directors You Want To Work With, Doing Little Movies. There Are No Guarantees. I'm Trying To Sign Up And Do Movies That I'll Be Proud Of, If It's My Last One. That's How I Think About It.

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

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

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 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 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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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 I Do Decide One Day To Stop Acting, I Just Hate The Idea Of People Going: 'oh, Did You Ever Do Anything Else Besides That Twilight Thing?'

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.

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.

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

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 Remember, With The Third [twilight] Movie, When We Went To Munich And The Entire Olympic Stadium Was Filled With Fans. We Walked In There And Did Nothing.

I'm Afraid Of Buying A House Or Anything, 'cause If There's One Paparazzi Outside For One Day, Then They'll Never Leave.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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

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!

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 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 Know [what Things Are Forever]. Friendship. I Can Think Of Lots Of Things.

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

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 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!

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 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

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.

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

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 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 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.

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.

When I Was Watching Twilight The Other Day, I Realized That You Do Need To Read The Book To Get It.

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 Wanted To Work With An Elephant.

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

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 .

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

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.

My Worst Habit Is Speaking To Much

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.

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 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 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.
