More From Robert Pattinson

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

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

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 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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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?

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

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

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.

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

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 Look A Bit Like Him.

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

[sometimes] I Will Go Through Periods Where I Will Think 'oh Maybe I Should Do A Commercial Movie' And Then I Just Think, Someone Gave Me A Really Great Piece Of Advice, Someone From My Agency Weirdly, They Said The Only Clients That Are Happy Are The Ones That Just Do What They Want To Do. So I Just Kind Of Do Everything For Myself.

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.

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

I'm Always Really Worried About Ruining Their Lives. Especially With People That Aren't Famous. It's Such A Massive Change. I'm Kind Of A Paranoid Wreck. I've Eaten A Lot Of Room Service.

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.

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

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.

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

Difficult Questions

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

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

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

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.

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

What's It Like Kissing Taylor Lautner.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

I'll Probably Go To London And Hide.

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

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

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.

The Girly Movie I Secretly Love Is Pippy Longstockings.

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

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.

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.

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.

My Worst Habit Is Speaking To Much

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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 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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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 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.

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

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.

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

I 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.

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

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.

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 Want To Strangle Whoever Invented That R-patz Thing.

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.

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

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 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!

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

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 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 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.

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

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

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.

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

I 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.

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

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

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

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.

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

My Dad Says He Likes To Bask In My Glow.

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

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

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.

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

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 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.

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

I 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.

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 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.'

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

Very Thoughtful

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

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.

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 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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

My Ideal Of Manliness Is To Be Incapable Of Doing Anything

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 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.

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.

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

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.

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 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.

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

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

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.

[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.

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.

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.

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 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'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 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.'

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

In Public, I Hardly Ever Show Feelings. That's What Happens When Everything You Do Is Put Under A Magnifying Glass. But If You've Spent Some Time Hiding Behind Your Public Mask, And You're Back In Your Own Environment, Then All That Suppressed Emotions Still Has To Be Set Loose. As A Result You Are Going To Behave Like A Nutcase. I Think Thats Why So Many People Who Are Famous Go Nuts.

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 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.

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 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.

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.

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!

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 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 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.

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.

Never Trust A Guy Who Plucks His Eyebrows.

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 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.

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

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.

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!

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

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.

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

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

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 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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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 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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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