I don't like his last comment - does he fear he's going to die young? You can tell he really thinks a lot about his life and future.
Hate that he is thinking THAT, however.
But he keeps his sense of humor all the time.
After BD Rob needs to take about a YEAR off and just chill, do music, read, relax, stay in London, reflect, and get back to reality. I hope he can do that.
I hated the death talk too. Here is the Relationship question:
Overhead: "Meanwhile, KS has had to apologize for comparing being photographed by papz to being raped. In the meantime, idle chatter ab their offset relationship has become a tabloid staple."
Interviewer: "Everybody's speculative about it, but u don't talk about it. Why is that the right decision for you?"
Rob: "I don't know what benefits there would be to talking about it. I mean, in logical terms, if you're just walking down the street and every single stranger on the street knew your business, and came up and felt like they needed to comment on it, like, you'd just be like 'SHUT UP! Like I'm gonna kill you!' *laughs* and I mean, it's exactly the same mentality. I don't really want to try to sell it either.Maybe if i was selling it, I'd talk about it more."
Overhead: 'But there's no NEED to SELL it, as Pattinson's career remains white hot.."
--------------------------
THERE YA GO FOLKS. He's not in a personal relationship for PR. He's in a personal relationship for himself, and doesn't want his business spread around, so he doesn't talk about it. Period. The end.
What we have here is a definite confirmation of their relationship and a firm expression that he does not wish to discuss same! He is apealing for some privacy! I hope this will end the are they/aren't they discussions!!!!!!
I can understand his concern that this has all been too easy and will I have to pay a price for it all!
You never know; maybe he has that fear. It doesn't help everyone comparing him to James Dean either, I'm sure. Also, perhaps that's why he talks about marriage and having children too. He's rather young to be thinking about things like that.
Shut up! I'm going to kill you~!!!
YEP, THERE YA GO FOLKS.
*rolls-eyes*
Saw the interview, and I must say that it is one of the better interviews that Rob has done. He was witty and serious. You can see that he is grateful, and still overwhelmed at his good fortune ergo his comment about dying young because he has so much so soon.
I also loved his comment about keeping his personal life his own, and not making it fodder for the masses. Good for him.
my nieces just called...they said rob is hotter in person :)) and rob gave out a few autographs after, he was the first to leave, but they didn't get one but they got taylor's. they had a great time. they are sending me pics tonight if there is a good one of rob i will send it in :)
good night to whoever is still on.
Obvously his price has NOT been so easy; he is doing well but his life is not easy, is not his, the way he would like. He is grateful, but he has to realize he IS paying a price and it is not, G-d forbid, early death.
I hate that Rob thinks that way too but I find myself having that same mind frame that he does like when everything is going right in your life something is just bound to screw it up but I love him and the way he thinks this was a really good interview and him and Kristen have the same views on privacy,he doesn't want to give people insight on his personal life because then it's like what do u have left??
so I agree with his decision.
@solas I agree with what you said in the other post. I think you do need to make the most ouut of your life good or bad I just never looked at it that way before.
Solas, I'm sure Rob surmises that some celebrities have died young as a result of destructive lifestyle choices they made, such as in the case of drug overdoses. Rob seems smarter than most young men his age so hopefully he won't make these same choices which could lead to an early death.
WOW... I don't like such pessimistic view... my God!!!
He is beautiful positive and doesn't seem to act like he's paying a "price" not all actors pay a price...
:o)
@Ana73.. WOuld LOVEA TO SEE THE PICS!!! I saw him live at Twicon and YES he is even hotter in person!!!
beautiful beautiful human being!
I meant to add that I believe Woodward and Bernstein would call this
"a non-confirmation/confirmation".
As far as the dying young thing. He has been telling us for 2 years that he has been made somewhat paranoid by all that has happened.
Don't you think it is a pretty normal reaction to so much success quickly. Let's don't exaggerate
this too.
@showme, Couldn't have said it better myself.
@woms - ITA! He is more beautiful in person. IMO - a person with a thoughtful,insightful soul. *sighs*
Love this interview!
@Ana - would love to see pics!
I kind of tried to read between the lines with the whole dying young thing && we all know Rob is BEYOND humble anyone can see that..and I think he's basically saying no matter how famous you get or how big you think you are everything can change in the blink of an eye..your high could easily become a low.. it just shows that even though he is 24 he is WAY beyond his years. He thinks about his future a lot and i dont think a lot of people this day and age do especially when they are THAT young. Most people his age feel invincible like absolutely nothing can touch them they dont have a care in the world && but he doesn't live in a fantasy world he knows that this is REALITY and bad things can happen no matter who you are and I totally respect him for that. Great interview
It is strange for me that he was talking about death in this interview because I was reflecting today on how perfect everything is right now for him and Kristin. They love each other and they are the stars of this huge franchise and in many ways their love is the real version of the love story they are portraying. I wasn't thinking of early death but I was thinking about how awful it would be if their relationship went bad. All of sudden the glory of being part of the franchise would become a nightmare. How could you face each other everyday if your relationship was broken. You'd want out, maybe. Something like the higher you soar the farther you have to fall. I hope it never happens for them but some things in life you just can't control.
Yes, this was a good interview because it was conducted by a professional journalist rather than the ususal hacks of the celebrity press he's sent to deal with.
I look forward to him one day sitting down with perhaps Lesley Stahl of 60 Minutes or maybe James Lipton of Inside The Actor's Studio.
And I don't like the 'dying young' talk either. It makes me shudder as there is such a thing known as a 'self fullfilling prophecy'. I wish Chris had not brought this up.
And once again, he mentioned children. How many times does this make in the past 6-7 months? I swear, this man is baby hungry. And that's a powerful hunger once it hits you. Very unusual for a 24 year old guy. Especially for a 24 year old 'movie star' guy. I promise you, his contemporaries are not thinking 'baby'. They're thinking...uh...well. Starts with a P and ends with a Y. That's right, you got it. LOL!
And yes, if this wasn't a confirm, then I need to go see the 'eyes, ears, nose and throat' doc and get my ears irrigated. He kept referring to it as...IT! Something that existed. It does. And I think it's remarkable that a couple this young and THIS FAMOUS 'gets it'. That you don't go around exploiting each other or what you've found together. You honor it. You protect it. You treat it with some dignity. Without even trying, with just being themselves, they're showing up Hollywood. Who knows? Maybe their example will enspire a few others to conduct their relationships with a little dignity too. Ah...but if most of Hollywood started doing that, what would they sell to the public? Because if you think it's their careers they're selling us, you would be wrong.
Someone said earlier that since the night of the MTV Movie Awards, it just 'feels' like they've given more of 'it' up. Doesn't it? Well. They're not hiding, they never were. They've just been discreet. And so many of the fans don't understand this and that's because you don't see much discretion in Hollywood relationships. Well, pay attention. This is what it looks like.
"a non-confirmation/confirmation"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Just WHAT THE F^CK is that???
Someone please explain it to me.
Define that mother-f^cker for me.
Thanks.
Kember :)
@ Lolli
no you cant control how things happen in life and I think thats all he was trying to say with the dying young statement.
And once again, nik, didn't watch the video. LOL
@Nikola6
ITA with you
if they are together Rob was basically saying 'f-ck off and mind your own damn business' respect our privacy! just like Kristen said in her interviews if they would answer the speculating question 'are they or aren't they' directly people STILL wouldn't leave them alone so they basically just say hey were gonna let people make their own assumptions but were not gonna entertain it with an answer lol its brilliant!! i love it
Why would he have to sell his personal life? You people do a good enough job without him doing or saying ANYTHING. I'm sure he would thank you(smack you) and give you his undying friendship(kill you). LMAO
Talk about the shadow crossing the path. Don't say stuff like that, Rob, it makes me edgy. However, he is not the first person to feel that way about receiving so much so fast and worrying about "pay back." One thing he has been doing and can continue to do to help him feel like he is being grateful and giving back is to be very generous with his wealth and fame. Being so nice certainly helps too. It is people helping people that works miracles and Rob can assuage a lot of guilt, if that is what he is experiencing, by helping others.
I love it that Rob is not a kiss and tell guy. That is just so classy.
@Laurie very classy && sexy
Hollywood definitely needs to take notes
Nik, nothing short of passionate kissing or a sex tape would convince the naysayers that Rob and Kristen are together and even then it would be classified as PR even though Rob here says he doesn't want to sell it, LOL. This means folks that he's not trying to sell a relationship to the public, as in no PR.
Wanted to clarify something...
When I said that if Hollywood started conducting their personal lives (their love affairs) with a little dignity, then what would they sell to us as you'd be mistaken if you think it's the careers. I didn't mean the actors themselves. I meant the celebrity press. They are the ones selling us their sex lives. And yes, alot of these stars are giving it to them to sell.
One last comment about the 'early death' thing and then I'm gonna drop it as it makes my stomach knot. I just assumed that most here knew where this originated, but from the comments, I'm not so sure.
When he was shooting GOF, he kept a journal. And it was just a typical journal, but then it began to evolve. He said that in it, he began talking to the fates, telling them what he wanted out of life and what he was willing to do to get it and what he wasn't willing to do. And then he said the most amazing thing. He asked the fates not give him all of his luck at once. To spread it out over the course of his life, over the next 70 years or so. And that just blew me away. He was only 18 when he shot that film. What kind of 18 year old is willing to wait for anything? They want everything and they want it right damn now. When I read that, I knew that this kid had some real wisdom and depth to him. And where the early death idea came into play was...if his luck came to him early, all at once, then he would have used it all up and would then probably die young. I read this in the fall of 2008 (before Twilight opened) as I was going back to learn as much about him as I could. And I'll admit as I've watched all of this success (or luck) wash over him this past year and a half, I've thought more than once about what he said. And it always frightens me. Which is why I don't like to think about it. As I said, I wish Chris had not brought this up. 'Cause now I'm thinking about it.
As for losing her...
It could happen. They're very young and the way they feel today, they might feel differently when they're in their 30's. And if he loses her because others come into their lives or they just grow apart, he'll have to be a man and deal with it. In fact, he could be the one who one day might want out. What I think could have a devastating effect on him is, if he were to lose her to something as meaningless as fame. Even if she still loved him but came to the heartbreaking decision that she'd had enough and couldn't handle anymore of this unimaginable scrutiny and judgement that's come upon her, simply because she is with him, if she walked out the door and left him for THAT...that could shatter him and haunt him for many years. When you lose the person you love (for any reason), if you don't get to live your life with them, it wrecks your life to a certain degree. Oh, you go on. You cope. You deal. And alot of times, you love again. But...there's a hole in your heart that never quite fully heals. You always wonder about 'what if'. What might have been.
I know of what I speak.
@Nikola6 you are once again right on the money
I know what exactly what you speak of too because I've been in deep love before REAL love and I have had my heart broken. Relationships are hard work even when you're NOT famous so i couldn't even BEGIN to imagine what it's like trying to make a relationship work in the public eye
[cringing at the thought]
&& I think thats why I love the Twilight series so much is because I can relate to it.. when you're in love you give up things and stop living for yourself and go that extra mile for your significant other and you want to be with them at all costs no matter what.
but like i said before he is definitely beyond his years. In interviews he's always joking and calling himself an idiot but he is definitely intelligent in more ways than one.
Finally someone asks something about the relationship that is worth asking. We know they aren't going to come out and say it, so props to Nightline for stepping up and asking why they don't talk about it. And I'm proud of how Rob handles it. What will they gain if they do talk about their relationship? Absolutely nothing. It is personal. All of this- this media frenzy that comes with the career- it should stop at the career. Once it gets personal... they don't owe us shit.
Also, it seems like Nightline has done some homework. Knowing and asking about Rob and his note taking- that's a first. Though this interview bothers me. Why? Well I am frustrated with how Rob's answering these questions. I know he is intelligent. He is a method actor. He is an intellectual. And he doesn't give himself any credit.
Don't get me wrong, I love his humor and wittiness but I feel like he could have answered some of these questions (as he did with the relationship one) in a way that would have him come across more credible for those in the business or those who don't believe in him. We all know you can deliver these answers in a way that will blow everyone away, and maybe see what we see behind the silly brit humor and sex hair.
I'm not sure if I'm making any sense. Just got back from a Giants game (GOOOO GIANTSSS!) and had a few drinks (uh... $9 drinks.. whaaaat?!?) It gave me the balls to actually comment for a change.
I read the blog frequently (probably too frequently) and I feel like I know most of you. Hi.
April -
I agree with you. Like when he said his notes say "act better" and when he said something about being terrified to do the next Twilight movie because he can't act.
I feel like, let's don't give the critics any fodder.
I also think we feel this way because it does feel like one of his most prestigious interviews so he is speaking more to the establishment.
I think he will be fine.
So beautiful!!
Ok, just read my comment. I didn't do a very good job on expressing what I felt when I watched this interview. I normally don't. I just want people to see that he has more. See what we see. And Rob is too damn modest to admit to anything more about those journals than them being a thing in the past and sort of laughing them off.
@nik- glad you commented about the journals because I haven't heard of them. Was this in a past interview? I am once again in awe with this guy. I wonder about his future- excited and fearful. I identify with the fact that he is his own worst critic.
YES @lollli!
He is almost feeding the critics. Not only those who don't support his acting ability, but those who see him as a juvenile mind. I don't think it'll be easy for him to break this mold with some of his responses here. Those who follow it all- every reflection, every remark- we get it. We get him. And I guess that is something I'm fearful of. The industry, and their judgements.
"A non confirmation/confirmation."
It comes from the Pulitzer Prize winning book "All The President's Men" by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein (1974...I believe). They were young reporters for The Washington Post and they exposed Watergate scandal which brought down the presidency of Richard Nixon.
And back in the early seventies we still had something called "legitimate" journalism and that's because back then, they practiced integrity. You could not print something from
"an insider" or "a reliable source." (that's what a tabloid did and they had no credibility whatsover. Today, the New York Times gets a lot of it's information from The Enquirer). And this was the Constitution and the presidency of the United States they were dealing with so they had to get it right. And no one would go on the record. So they came up with a way to get people to confirm another piece of the puzzle they'd uncovered. And Ben Bradlee (the lengendary Washington Post Editor In Chief) would not print anything unless they had THREE confirmations. So, this is what they came up...
They'd get on the phone and say something like...'we KNOW that John Mitchell (the attorney general) and Bob Halderman (chief of staff) and John Erlichman (presidential advisor) knew about the slush funds and funded *the plumbers* (the guys who broke into the Watergate Hotel to bug the Democratics which was the first thread pulled that began to unravel this clusterfuck). I'm going to count to ten and if you haven't hung up by the time I get to ten, then I am right. That will be a confirm. Do we understand each other? And the source would say, yes, we understand each other. So, they'd start counting to ten and when they got there and their source was still on the line, the source would say...'you got that?' So without giving up the information, without saying the words...they confirmed.
And that is the definition of a
"non confirmation/confirmation."
And that is tonight's history lesson. Well. You asked.
And yes, I did watch that particular video as it wasn't a papp or fan video. Those I avoid like the plague.
@April, I agree whole heartedly. I am a die-hard RP fan, I still remember the first time I saw an interview with him waaaay back when...I nearly feel over in my chair, instant adoration for his personality, his gestures, his mind, his handsome looks, everything he said I adored. Love him as Edward, love his acting in everything overall & really think he seems like an insanely amazing person in general...and I thought this interview was not too good, for him. Nightline is huge here in US, and he came off as giggly (which I love but for a serious interview...) and very evasive for the questions, giving just little comical jabs etc. I am ALL for his privacy and not answering certain prying questions but this interviewer did his homework and asked mature good questions and the audience got giggles and "whatever" and hand gestures. There is no way he isn't jaded by all this glare & craziness but I sure do miss and cherish those interviews of the olden days, where he just said whatever came to mind and was so refreshingly awesome and outspoken...sigh...
and the whole death by 30 thing? He is ONLY 24 for crying out loud! Everyone under the age of 27 with an ounce of fast living or enjoyment in their blood jokes about making it to 30 (hell my brother still jokes about making it to 30 & he is 33) Its a twenty-something thing...Rp is talented and mature and introspective and deep but he is still ONLY 24...he is talking the talk of his generation & his crowd of hollywood newbies.
@April, Go Giants :-) Thx for liquid courage posting :-)
Nikola- I don't know if read my comment on the other post yesterday but I asked if you like me to send an email to hotel cafe, and I said just tell me what to write to them and i'll send it, unless you got hold of them.
P.s. You have a lot of knowledge, it's cool of you to share it with the rest if us.
I wish I was that knowledgable.
Darlin', I can google too. Thanks. It doesn't apply here.
If you listen to the actual interview. Chris said, "Your personal life." Robert referred to it as "IT". Just as I did. Not any relationship as "IT". Go back and watch it again.
There was NO "a non-confirmation/confirmation".
Next time, I'll google it myself. Took you alil too long. I'm the google Queen. LOL
Nik-With ALL due respect. You don't know shyte, and never have. :D
Me too I fetl like he missed a big chance to real talking here. Maybe he was not well informed. Shame, I felt like come on Rob this is not MTV, show them the witty guy you are. He missed the chance.
: "Everyone speculates about it but you don't talk about Kristen. Why is that the right decison?"
R: "I don't know what benefit there is to talking about it. I mean, in logical terms, if you're just walking down the street and every single stranger on the street knew your business and came up and wanted..felt like they needed to comment on it. You'd be like SHUT UP! I guna kill you. That's exactly the same mentality. I don't really want to try and sell it either. Maybe if I was selling it, I'd talk about it more."
This is a total confirmation to me. End of the story.
End of story about the PR thing too. We can go on with our lives now.
@wonderwoman - I'm sure you'll see more liquid courage postings from me in the future. And- woohoo 10-2 final. Gotta love SF.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way after watching this one. It seems like he has had this giddy presence all weekend. Guess Kristen was right- working his ass off. Well, good for him. But I agree- I miss that refreshing Robness. I also agree with whoever mentioned earlier that it would be nice for him to take a break. I'd like to see some of his writing in the near future as well.
@nik - never read the book but love the movie. It's a shame that our Deep Throat's of today overwhelm the tabloids with bullshit.
Just mentioning deep throat in a post about RP... can't go and get everyone stirred up so close to bedtime. Was that too inappropriate? oh hell, like we haven't all indulged in a ff from time to time. Gnightskies...
This interview with Chris was a serious interview. The interview with Jenna was a serious interview. This was not him talking in "code" or being "cheeky". He wasn't sitting on a stage with two people cracking jokes, tired, or hungover. This is him being actually him, and you're still putting words into his mouth, over-analyzing, or just plain hearing what you wanna hear. Why don't you take him literally for once? Take him seriously first, then maybe others will follow. That's all I'm (and others) are doing, but yet we're the delusional/blind ones.
As far as I can see. You're more on this blog to make friends and get attention. Plus, maybe promote yourself. To who? I have no idea. I can tell by your comments though. You go with the breeze. If half of these people on this blog said they weren't together. You'd be saying it too. Why? Because you're not here because you (what did you say?) love him as a human being and the saga. No, you're here because you love this fandom and you have a huge urge to be accepted by a group. You need your ego stroked. Doesn't matter by which group, but you hit a gold mind here. Largest group of women with one thing in common, and you jumped on it. Like a failed Hollywood wannabe show-off. Like a rat after the cheese.
My daughter is finally in bed, so I'm off.
Later Chicas :)
Oh that was to Nik. I'm sorry. Dina that's not what was said. Listen closely when the camera pans back to Robert. You hear Chris say, "Personal LIFE."
Damn, I'm half deaf and can still hear the shyte.
PLEASE~!!!
@april...
I have absolutely no idea where I read about the journaling as it was almost two years ago when I read it. And I don't keep anything. I don't keep interviews in files. I just read 'em and they just sorta stick in my brain. If something interests me, I tend to hold onto the information. Even though he's been retired from baseball for nearly a decade now, I can still recite for you, Cal Ripken's stats. And that's because he (and the game of baseball)...interests me.
As for Rob's standing within in the industry...
He can go on tv and act the fool, the idiot and say anything he wants and that will not affect his standing within the industry at all. And that's because they are sold on Rob Pattinson as they are grooming him to be the next great male movie star as they see him as the complete package; talent, movie star looks and box office. And the proof in the pudding of that is...
Water For Elephants!!!
This is not some small independent like Remember Me or Bel Ami. This one is big time Hollywood with a top notch director, a script by one of the most prolific screenwriters in the business and two Oscar winning A-list co stars and Rob is the lead and for the most part, the success or failure of the film rests on HIS shoulders. And Hollywood thinks those shoulders are strong enough that they can carry a production as big as this one or else they wouldn't have cast him in the role. The word in Hollywood on this one is, if this film delivers, they've got an Oscar contender on their hands. It's that kind of film and they think Rob is ready to help deliver it.
Another clue that they're sold on him? (especially the directors) They're casting him opposite older actressess and they only do that if they think they've got a young leading man who can hold the screen opposite an older woman (and if he can, it's because he comes across as a man and not a boy). Every leading lady he's been cast opposite since Twilight made him a star about 18 months ago, has been older than him...
*Emile de Ravin (5 yrs. older)
*Uma Thurman (16 yrs. older)
*Christina Ricci (7 yrs. older)
*Kristin Scott Thomas (a whopping 26 yrs. older)
*Reese Witherspoon (10 yrs. older)
No. His self deprecating ways in interviews has no bearing on what Hollywood thinks of him. The only place his public utterances matter is here on the internet where the uninformed and the misinformed can sit and analyze and scrutinize and judge him within an inch of his life. Fortunately, Hollywood doesn't give much credence to internet 'chatter'. They know it's just 'here today, gone tomorrow' bullshit. Oh, they pay lip service to it, 'cause they want the public's money at the box office. But they don't really care what the public is blogging or twiddling or twaddling on about at any given moment and that's because there's no credibility to it.
"Everyone speculates about it, but you don't talk about your personal life. Why is that the right decision for you?"

Right, I'm off....

@hi nik,hi kimmie,hidina and so nice to read all your comments about our boy and just how when i read your comments for the first time,i knew you were a woman who had allot of intellegence,this was the best interview rob ever had,rob you're going paces!nightline,great and the interviewer was so good at what he did and he knew what he was doing and cheeky-chops that was very nice what you wrote to nik,that was not an ooopinion that was an insult!
LOL I am not English so this impairs my common sense too.
yes you cheesy-chops!that was not an opinion you wrote to nik,that was an insult,and here don't ever dash rob.,not all the time we agree with things he say,but i for one will never like this thread getting like those other,this is the only thread that don't bash rob,and so what if he says it ,we understand what he is trying to bring across please no negative only positive,we love rob to muc for that
I understand that the industry must be sold on him seeing the things he is doing now. I guess I do mean the critics and those dingling around here on the internet. They shouldn't matter, but to me they do.
I also fear that they (the industry) are sold mostly on the money he will bring in and not so much on his talent. This, obviously isn't true (so no one needs to convince me.. I got it). But I continue to worry about these things. I don't need to hear about the logistics of hollywood, but I get that those who know about the business find it annoying not to correct me if they know, or believe otherwise. In fact, i'll probably be mixed up in it one day with the career I'm heading towards.
I guess I just want him to do well. No, do great. And maybe I am launching my own self-deprecation into it. And maybe I just need some sleep. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's it.
Kimmie...
I'm just gonna go up to the club this Saturday night (when someone will be there) and see if I can get this straightened out. Since it's my name on the list and I can't make it, I don't see why they would care if I put three under your name and three under Cindeeloo's. I would think I'd just have to show ID to prove their mine and then I can give 'em to whoever I want. I don't see how this is going to be a problem. I'll track you down Sunday and let you know.
Chris is not so svelte these days...lol Knowing his background, Rob responded with a little more seriousness, understandably, even if he still uses humour as a way to deflect. The 'dying' comment is about hubris. Talking about it is a way of warding it off. Acting is a world bound by superstition...;)
@Kemberley: all of us have varying reasons for being here - I don't know that anyone's motivation is superior or more 'deserving' than anyone else's. I don't agree with some comments, or enjoy the speculation about his relationships, but I know they'll be expressed here. I can argue with opinions, but we're all imperfect humans. Yeah, I know, I'm just another you deemed a Hollywood wannabe...
@nik - not sure if you were referring to the cheeky chops google comment when you first wrote to me? About your memory- I for one envy it. I can't even remember what I did yesterday.
And I asked earlier but maybe you missed it- Do you remember where you read about these journals? I'm really interested in them and would like to read more about them.
To Nik, Dina and all the other lovely posters here. I don't comment very often but I wanted to adress somthing about understanding Rob and what Rob is trying to bring across. His comment on the Today show and what people made of it was an example how people misinterpreting heartfelt comments of Rob.
Jenna asked Rob if he is ready for marriage, settling down. In this context Rob gives an answer if he is ready for a commited relationship. People should really listen what he is saying:
Jenna: "so settling isn't probably the best word"
Rob: "I know - I would like to go on A date - I am just saying, I am just putting it down there - so I never go on dates anymore."
So his answer is:
"I would like to go on A date - so I never go on dates anymore."
with a clear intonation of A date, not a date.
And he says so (=thus) not though
He did not say he is single and would like to have a date, neither did he say he wants to take his girlfriend out to dinner.
He is answering the question if he wants to be in a serious relationship with one person.
Am I the only one who saw it that way?
No evangaline honey...
I didn't take her words as an insult because she'd have to have some credibility in order to really insult someone. I mean, if I yield control to someone who doesn't know me from hole in the ground (and never will), than I am the horse's ass. This is her MO. She targets someone that she THINKS
the rest of the blog likes (and that is simply not true in my case. alot of people here don't care for me) and then sets out to discredit them in some way and the only weapons she's got in arsenal to do that are sacasam and hostility. She did it to RPG too and a few others I think. Actually, as much as think of RPG, I guess I should take it as a complement. She expended time and energy going after her and now she's doing the same to me. Hmmm...thanks Kember.
And it's too bad because she's also got intelligence and humour and I like those two things in a person which is why I've tried to engage with her. But she negates those attributes with her unkindness and I give up. She's won and I won't try with her again. But it really didn't bother me which kinda surprised me because I do have feelings and they can be hurt. But don't let it bother you either hon. But thank you for having my back. Now that was showing some kindness to another person.
The truth of it is, the ONLY way to make her stop is if every single person on this blog ignored her. If she never got another response. I just think she's too intelligent and she'd get bored and give up. Or come back under another name and try to 'play her game' again. 'Cause that's what she's doing...this personality type likes to eff with people's heads and she MUST get attention or else the game is no fun for her.
And I'm doing what I just said we shouldn't...I'm giving her attention. But let's stop doing that, shall we?
No april...
I did answer you in the post where I also spoke about his standing within the industry. It was the first thing I addressed in the post. But what I said was...
I have no idea where that interview is. I'm pretty sure it was a print interview. I just don't save anything. I read it and file it away and then missquote it. LOL! But I said initially, when I first brought it up, is pretty much what he had to say about it.
And AP...
Didn't Chris used to write for Rolling Stone and then was editor of Premiere? I can't remember. See. There's tons I can't remember. Something has really got to interest me for me to retain it. But yeah, I too remember when he was young. When his hair was brown and his body trim.
And just for the record...
A lot of what I write about here is fact. Things I do KNOW to be true. Based on my upbringing with a father who worked in the industry for over 40 years AND some of my own experience with people I know who have and continue to work here. And a lot is just my opinion only and I try to remember when giving something that is purely opinion, that I make note that is it just mine and that doesn't make it right.
Read the indepth analysis of the interview - this was a well conducted one.Did not like the dying< 30y comment,there is no such thing like if one gets most things too soon , they run out of all the good things happening.I truely believe some people are blessed and certainly hope he is one of them.Talking in circles and using odd sense of humor has become a trade mark of this guy.
Great interview & I have lots of respect for Chris..
Rob was serious but still his wit takes a bow...what a doll..
Nik, wise way to dispose of the trash...
.femroc :ITA
We now how self deprecating he is....
Rob, please, take a holiday, go to sleep, and I hope your mother call you and tell you something you need to hear,(we can`t do it..)
Some day I 'll know enough english to give a long speech, now only can say
We love rob, anyway .please live a long life, we need you !!!
I watched the interview and I must say... I really enjoy it, it was fun... yet serious, It's like his work. He seems to take it seriously and have fun with it too.
The personal question was answered. He's selling the movies, he's not selling his private life... nice his lover affair (s), friendships nor his family. I say Good for him.
Nicoala6.. love your post as usuall always interesting read.
As I don't know him personally, I would find it difficult to read between the lines on any of his comments.
However, he does have that punchy, I'm-so-tired-I've-been-working-straight-for-x-days look that I'm familiar with. That in and of itself makes me less inclined to read anything too deep into his comments. Especially if he's juggling between shooting one film and promoting another. All he needs is the glassy-eyed stare.
Pace yourself, kiddo.
1st. Nik Thanks for explaining the "non-confirmation/confirmation".
As one could probably tell from my identity(olejp). I am not young and that expression is just one that has meaning for me. I was so exhausted last night, went to bed right after I posted.
Nik,I am sorry you took heat that probably was going to come my way.
CheekyChops, all opinions are valuable, I just do not understand the need for anger, but enough is enough.
I am here to enjoy Rob and share this interest with you all.
I really enjoy this web site and the women who contribute to its fun.
I love how ppl don't have any balls until they know for sure I'm off the blog or thread. They're are no personal attacks. If I were attacking her personally. I could do much much better than that. I don't talk about personal life, class, or call people names, but I could start. I mean I should start since you all have started. See the pattern here. You do it then I do it. Not my fault I do it better than you, as I've said. :)
I'm not angry. A person has never seen me angry on the internet. Ever. You're all projecting, and don't self-project onto me. I don't take this shyte that seriously. I just get tired of delusional people that can't listen to an interview without putting something into it, when there is nothing there.
credibility
You love that word. You can't seem to understand that there are people out there not looking for Hollywood attention. That is a Hollywood word and a journalist word. I'm NEITHER. I couldn't careless, and your head is shoved so far up your own ass, you can't understand that. LOL
God, you're a moron. I'm not on here to compete with anyone. I'm not on here to seem better than anyone or promote myself.
You TRY to seem so intelligent and wise. When in truth, with that one word, you blew it. You're living in a fish bowl, and have no idea about the world or the people in it. You just have your credibility. LMAO
I thought this was a good interview, he seemed pretty relaxed, & it wasn't the same old questions. I think people need to relax about the whole death comments, I doubt it meant anything, it's just something people say & laugh.
Just curious, but did everyone know this interview was going to be on? I had no idea about it, & just happened to see a video posted from someone on the East coast, so I was able to watch it here on the West coast when it came on. I'm just wondering how I missed it since I don't remember hearing anything about it before.
hey nikola, I think I might need a few more tickets maybe four.
Marna--I knew about it only by looking at the side bar of this site, which has Rob's schedule, helpful for himself as well as his fans. ;-)
I have been thinkng more of the fatalist attitude and comments. It leads people to do stupid and reckless things because they figure they will die young anyway, that they have no real choice in their future. Why look after yourself, why eat healthfully, why not do drugs including alcohol and cigarettes, if one has used up one's luck, one's 'lifegame points' as if one were in a video game. It is a very adolescent way of viewing life and the world. It remnds me sadly of Neil Young's words: 'Better to burn out than to fade away' that so many, includng Kurt Cobaine, so sadly terribly misunderstood. What so many do not understand, especially but not only adolescents, is that there is at least a third way: burn out, fade away are only 2 choices; there are many more. Sure once can burn out, one can fade away, OR one can choose and strive to burn strongly and steadily, or even to forge a new future, or work toward somethng good including a greater good and do it for 120 years until one is ready to hand over a better world.
Great interview. Interviewer asked questions intelligently and conversationally without without being invasive. Also noticed that i/v was steering Rob to be more serious but I think he is habitually in jester mode.
If you ask someone a question respectfully it's hard for them not to answer you - so he got a genuine answer and certainly the most direct response from Rob so far with regard to the relationship question. Sadly, this style of interviewing is dying out in favour of the shallow questions from interviewers want celebrity status themselves. When someone interviews Rob intelligently he comes out with some gems:
"You just let a little window open into your reality".
The dying at 30 comment is not meant to be taken seriously. Just typical Rob being flippant, he just thinks of stuff as he goes along, haven't you noticed - a lot of his answers begin with: I don't know .. I guess ...
Solas, I should probably look at that thing on the side more often, but what I meant is usually somebody says something in the comments, or there's a post about te interview. This time I heard nothing anywhere, it just seemed strange.
Totally-- I would say maybe to that, except that he has expressed this sentiment before, when he was still raw and not tryng to deflect, and was trying to be straightforward.
What a delightful interview. Relished his comments regarding his private life...bravo!
