FKA Twigs Talks About Her Relationship With Robert Pattinson To NY Times

FKA Twigs Talks About Her Relationship With Robert Pattinson To NY Times

In a recent interview with The NY Times  FKA Twigs was asked about her relationship with Rob. Check out what she had to say in the excerpt under the pic.



From The NY Times

Ms. Barnett likes to say she’s “masquerading as a pop star,” while also being sucked into the vortex of “Twilight,” with photographers around the world chronicling her relationship with Mr. Pattinson. “It’s really hard — I can’t begin to explain how awful it is,” she said. “It makes you want to just stop everything sometimes. It makes you want to smash your face into the mirror."

Worst of all are the racial insults — she is biracial — on Twitter and Instagram, some of them from die-hard fans of Mr. Pattinson. “It’s relentless,” she said. She insisted that the attention their relationship draws does not help her professionally. “There’s no amount of songs I can sing or dances I can dance that will prove to them I’m not a monkey.”

“I didn’t see my life going this way at all,” Ms. Barnett said of recent events. “But it’s worth it. I’m so happy.”

.....

Ahead of rehearsal this week, she met Mr. Pattinson on a Chelsea street corner in broad daylight, no tinted S.U.V. in sight, and strolled off with a hand around his waist.

It's sad to read that the NY Times are blaming Rob fans for the racial insults being sent to Twigs. Hopefully they'll edit the article and correct their error.

INTERVIEW: Robert Pattinson Talks 'Life' (The Movie), Life Lessons & More To F Magazine (Greece)

INTERVIEW: Robert Pattinson Talks 'Life' (The Movie), Life Lessons & More To F Magazine (Greece)

An interview with Robert Pattinson appears in the April issue of Greece's F Magazine where Rob talks about how it was important to him that the perfect person was found to play James Dean in Life, having his personal life 'out there', if he's ever used disguises when out and about (I love that Rob's idea of a disguise is a cap), what he's afraid of and MORE.
It's a good read so grab yourself a cuppa and check out the translation of the interview below thanks to Rob's Promotion




Translation:

He wasn't looking for the easy way... A role that was more like a trap and his progress as an actor is very different from the usual. He is also unbearably good looking!!! Eyes, smile, hair and a talent that makes an effort to be revealed, but I know for sure that it exists!!!! LIFE will be his next movie in which he’ll prove it. Stop doing what you are doing and pay attention: Robert Pattinson talks…

Question: "You have to know that there are similarities between James Dean’s life and yours."
Rob: "For me the story of James Dean and of Dennis Stock are two completely different stories. The story of James Dean, maybe because I’ve lived it up to a certain point, doesn’t particularly interest me. From the very beginning I identified more with the character of Dennis Stock."

Question: "How do you see James Dean? Were you inspired by him?"
Rob: "Almost all actors go through a phase that they have an obsession with James Dean. His movies had a huge influence. Some things are exaggerated, but that has to do with the fact that he had just started. You can see his fearless experimentations. Some of his movements are very gentle, like ballet movements, and others are blatantly strong. I’ve seen a lot of his photos and it’s interesting that he never took a bad picture. This doesn’t have to do just with his face. He always knew how to stand in front of the camera. In 1955 people were not constantly photographed and he wasn’t that famous yet, but he just knew that his face took good pictures. He was very good in controlling that."

Question: "How is it to be photographed? Do you like it?"
Rob: "I’m very bad at that. There was a time when the first Twilight movie was released, I wanted to show a certain profile. When you can control it it’s fine, but when they photograph you all the time, you lose control. Suddenly you are afraid and you become an introvert. At the moment I’m in that phase “Don’t take any pictures of me!”

NEW INTERVIEW: "There Are 20 Filmmakers I Want To Work With" ~ Robert Pattinson 

Rob spoke to MetroNews and spoke about working with Harmony Korine and Olivier Assayas this year and a lot more.

I used google translate to translate it but will update when there's a better translation ;)


 
 Robert Pattinson: "Everyone is a little crazy in Hollywood"

INTERVIEW - Far from "Twilight" actor Robert Pattinson English continues his journey to the land of auteur cinema. 
He is in Cannes to present two films: the road movie "The Rover", the Australian David Michod and "Maps to the Stars", the Canadian master David Cronenberg.

Robert, you are in Cannes to present but not not one but two films. Is this a coincidence?
This is a nice surprise, although I admit that I really wanted that The Rover in particular is shown here. Actually we missed all the other festivals in the hope to be here. It has even staked everything on Cannes because it is the most beautiful in the world. In particular for a movie as different as this one.

As Maps to the stars, this is a film constructed outside the Hollywood system. Is this an indicator of the direction you want your career after Twilight adventure?
What guides me is the desire to work with a director. I realized that if I worked with the best in the world, there were chances that I am happy with the result (smiles). I have work experience really satisfactory. There are twenty filmmakers with whom I want to work and I just started. The next? This year Harmony Korine and Olivier Assayas. Then James Gray in January. We met, we became friends. And waited to find the right project.

In your place, many young players try to land a superhero role, or at least a role in a big franchise. Have you considered?
I never auditioned for that kind of film. And I'm not even sure I know how to make a superhero. If I have my place in this world (he thinks). It doesn't mean that I wouldn't do a big studio film at some point. Besides I look full. But I really struggled to find myself there, as an actor.

In The Rover, you play a guy a little simpleton, which we do not know much except that he is the scapegoat of his brother. How did you get the role?
On first reading, I heard his voice in my head. That of a guy who talks so low force being told to close his mouth. (laughs). So much so that every word that comes out of his mouth is suffering. It was great fun though watching the first cut, some of my dialogue was inaudible!

You are also the generic Maps to the stars, David Cronenberg. Hollywood depicts it is it as black as you know?
I've always had a good time in Hollywood. Actually I like her dirty side as long as I do not spend the whole year, that I do not become a caricature as we see in the film. Remain an observer: I can tell you that there is a lot of weird people out there.

You often come across?
All the time! Actually I am perhaps now ...

Do not tell me you sell your stool on the Internet as the young actors of the movie! 
Ah if I could ... (laughs) Frankly everyone in Hollywood is a little crazy. The actors are in essence, if we consider that we are asked to play the variety of human emotions, sometimes in the same film. I assure you that you will struggle to meet more people dingo! (laughs)

Romain Gavras On Working With Robert Pattinson, His Favourite Scene In The Dior Homme Advert & More

UPDATED with more from the interview 
Romain Gavras On Working With Robert Pattinson, His Favourite Scene In The Dior Homme Advert & More

Romain Gavras spoke to Italy's Io Donna magazine and had (not surprisingly) had some very nice things to say about Rob.



Where did you get the inspiration for the video?
Working closely with the team of Dior. A hundred lifetimes in a day and the words of James Dean : " Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die today. " The result is a character who goes through emotions and different places . Then, with the cinematographer André Chemetoff and production designer Jean -Michel Bertin , we looked for the best visual grammar to tell this story fragmented.

How would you describe the Dior Homme  man?
The man we want to represent is a man who is light, at ease in any situation. He could be on a deserted beach , in a luxury hotel or in an empty house which he has just moved into: he would always be himself. We wanted to move away from the stereotype of the successful, rich and arrogant, and that is why we have added details such as the eighties car that leads to a certain point. The
woman is another great way to characterize a man: in the video is a simple girl, who isn't dressed in  showy .

Tell us an anecdote , a particular story happened on the set?
We shot in Brooklyn, Rockaway Beach , immediately after the hurricane. Looking at the scene of the beach, you can note their signs , for example, the very high sand or cabins destroyed , which give the place a strange , unexpected look, in a video for a luxury perfume . Oh, and we also ended up in the sea with the car ... It took two boats and a tractor to bring it to dry land !

The main difficulty ?
Probably the fact of having to take in so many places at once . We had to run all over New York with Rob, who is a big star in Hollywood, dodging paparazzi and all the rest , not to reveal the images of the campaign prior to submission. Also, before you know Rob had no idea how it would go because we were waiting hectic , very active , and sometimes the actors do not like working under pressure. But he was great , he gave more than we asked , he was with me one hundred percent . In addition, during the shoot, we had great fun .

What is your favorite scene ?
I really like the part on the beach,  it was the first scene we shot . During the first shot something interesting is always happening and at that moment you know if what you had in mind will work or not. It was very nice to hear that it would work.

How was working with Rob ?
Rob is extremely curious, he's leaving the phase of the " poster boy " of Twilight to play more mature roles . He's already making interesting and courageous choices. Speaking as a director, I can say that he is an actor who is very easy to work , he's able to give so much .

Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart Interviewed for Bild.de (Germany)

Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart Interviewed for Bild.de (Germany)



Bild.de BamS:Miss Stewart, Mister Pattinson, Mister Lautner...After you've done at least three movies out of the Twilight saga, do you think of the time when it ends?
ROB: I mean, it's almost impossible to understand this kind of experience right now. It all happened in such a short period of time, it's like a supernova.
KRISTEN: I really admire my role of Bella. She feels like a sister to me. I could do this, like, forever.

BamS: Which scene out of Eclipse do you remember the best?
KRISTEN: When Taylor actually had to say "I´m hotter than you" to Rob, it was so funny. I almost couldn't stop laughing. Even after the like 50th time it was funny.
TAYLOR: I had to carry Kristen up of the mountain and while doing so I had to say 4 pages of lines.

BamS: Who's your "role model"?
TAYLOR: My role model is Tom Cruise. He's got a lot of different facettes and he's super nice. My female favorite is Jessica Alba. She's a dream girl and dream co-star in one person.
KRISTEN: I definitely look up to the rocksinger Joan Jett. I recently portrait her in a biopic called "The Runaways" and so I had the opportunity to get to know her. Joan showed the all-male rock business that girls can rock out too. And she stayed the same, and you need to have a lot of courage to do so.

BamS: How do you feel when you meet a star?
ROB: I sat next to David and Victoria Beckham once, in a L.A. restaurant. That kinda shocked me, it was surreal.

BamS: What was the craziest thing you've read about yourselves?
Tay: That I was dead. Really! I died a couple of times. Once they said Australian dancers had killed me.
Rob: I was voted for the best dressed man by a magazine. And I looked down on me; wearing training clothes, really old, cut off shoes and tuxedo socks-so best dressed?

BamS: You find yourself put in situations you've never thought about, right?
Rob: Paparazzi follow me everywhere I go, like to the weirdest places. I have to get used to that. I was photographed while buying a pair of boxer shorts recently in London and a friend of mine was with me and he bought a pair too to make me feel more comfortable.
Taylor: The most bizarre thing that happened to me was when a woman from Sydney came to me and asked for an autograph on her arm. On the next day there was an article in the newspaper that she'd tattooed my autograph on her arm.

BamS: Twilight conveys some kind of old-fashioned themes. Like ever lasting love, no sex before marriage.
Rob: Some people meet in a bar and have sex the same night and stay together for the rest of their lives. Some are together without marrying each other, get 5 children and marry afterward. I think society shouldn't put off rules about how you have to live your life. Every one should be able to decide on their own.

BamS: Edward seems to wake up some kind of archaic thing in women, the noble gentleman who is carrying his girl on hands. Where did the emancipation go?
Rob: I kind of wondered about that too. Laughs.

BamS: What can young people learn from Edward?
Rob: He's sympathetic, forgives his girlfriend even if she kissed another guy. Good man.

BamS: How much of you one can find in your characters?
T: Privately, we behave like every other normal human being.

BamS: What do you do to remain the same person you used to be before this phenomenon?
Kristen: You just shouldn't think about it that much. I mean, it's great but on the other hand very surreal. It's a heavy trip-but it's a lot of fun!

Preview of "Entertainment Weekly" Interview With Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart &Taylor Lautner

Preview of "Entertainment Weekly" Interview With Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart &Taylor Lautner

Entertainment Weekly sat down with Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner for a feature interview running in this week’s magazine to discuss the world they inhabit within the Twilight universe — both on screen and off. The three young stars opened up about coping under the glare of intense media spotlight, how they rely on one another to pull through, what they think of the upcoming final movie, Breaking Dawn, what lies ahead once the franchise wraps, and much more. In this preview, the three stars talk about gearing up for the final chapter of the saga that has changed each of their lives forever.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: You guys are about to start shooting the two Breaking Dawn movies back to back. You signed on to this franchise before Breaking Dawn was written. When you read it, were you thinking, How is this going to be turned into a movie?
KRISTEN STEWART: Yeah, definitely. What is Renesmee going to look like? Is it going to be this little teeth-baby running around? It’s going to be weird.
ROBERT PATTINSON: [Laughs] “Little teeth-baby.”
STEWART: Yeah, but I think it’s going to be cool. One of the main objectives of the series is to get Bella to a point where she’s mature enough to make such a hefty decision, and she goes through a lot. In the fourth one, she is going to become a wife. She is going to become a mom. She is going to become an adult and a vampire. To do it so young, it needs to be believable. So I’m really excited about playing that.

Some people read Breaking Dawn as very pro-life and Mormon because Bella decides to have her baby even though it’s endangering her life. Did any of that bother you when you read the book?
STEWART: No, because it made sense. Not wanting to give up the baby is about her holding onto that last thing that she would have to give up if she was not human anymore. Right after she and Edward sleep with each other for the first time, she says, “Oh, f***, I might want to be human for a little bit longer.” The baby is just an even more intense version of that.
PATTINSON: I think people make up all these Mormon references just so they can publish Twilight articles in respectable publications like the New York Times. Even Stephenie [Meyer, author of the Twilight novels] said it doesn’t mean any of that. It is based on a dream.
The Breaking Dawn movies are the last in the series. How do you feel about all of this coming to a conclusion soon?
STEWART: In terms of shooting them, they’re almost done. We’re going to be done by March.
TAYLOR LAUTNER: It will be so weird, the last day of filming that last movie.
STEWART: It will be sad, too. It’s been one of the most crazy, indulgent experiences as an actor, to be able to follow a character for this long.
LAUTNER: I think stopping will be very weird.
STEWART: It will just feel like a chapter has been closed.
LAUTNER: A big chapter.
STEWART: I’m going to be like, “But wait, there’s this scene…”

Pierce Brosnan mentions Robert Pattinson in an interview with Herald.ie

BYRNE: You co-star with Robert Pattinson in Remember Me and with Carey Mulligan in The Greatest, both hot young stars. Coincidence, or are you keen to get down with the kids?

BROSNAN: I think both Robert and Carey are exceptional when it comes to young actors, in that they’re more than just pin-ups or flavours of the month. You can sense in both of them a strong desire to do good work. I don’t think either one is trying to get by on their looks; they’re both looking for work that’s a little more challenging than that. And it’s always a wonderful feeling, being around people who are completely in love with what they’re doing.

BYRNE: Having lived with fame for quite some time now, did you have any advice for the beleaguered young Robert when it came to dealing with all those screaming teens?

BROSNAN: I think Robert knows that there’s very little he can do right now except put the head down and work. It’s not exactly fun, having that kind of crazed attention. It might be flattering at first, but the novelty soon wears off.

Robert Pattinson Talks About Paparazzi, Catherine Hardwicke, Remember Me & Unbound Captives

Very good interview. Robert Pattinson talks about the paparazzi , his new movies Remember Me (oh holy THUD, HERE is the trailer in case you missed it!), Unbound Captives and says Catherine Hardwicke has a childlike purity about the way she sees things (I bet it had a blue tint ;)).

Robert Pattison:I Don’t Even Think I’m a Real Man Yet :)

Another new and good interview where Rob talks about his new project, the relationship of Bella/Edward and Jacob and his sex symbol status.



It's an exclusive from Nieuwsblad.be. Thanks to Pinklien for the translation :)

Robert Pattinson: “Some fans scare me”
(Exclusive interview)

Everywhere he appears, teenage girls start screaming. And he didn’t even bite them. A conversation with teen idol Robert Pattinson, alias the vampire Edward Cullen from Twilight.

It’s been since Leonardo DiCaprio that an actor has been so intensely worshipped as Robert Pattinson. Thousands of girls (an older women) everywhere would love to have Edward bite them – Robert Pattinson in real life, R-Pattz for his fans.

How do you deal with all the media-craziness? There are books about your life-story, and you aren’t even dead yet. (bit weird to say IMO)

RP: Yes, I saw that there are 7 unauthorized biographies, and they all start at my 20th. I think Im dealing with it as good as possible. The past year, I have been working non-stop so the biggest Twilight craziness passed me by. My life and Twilight, it are 2 separate things.

Being famous is a lifestyle, but Im only a foetus in that celebrity-world. Im better at it than in the beginning, but I would hate it if there would be people hanging around my house for the rest of my life. It would drive me crazy. Why do people want a picture of me and them at all costs? I don’t get that. I think of myself as boring.

How different was shooting New Moon in comparison with the first part?

RP: Very different. With the first movie, there were a lot of people all pulling in a different direction. The studio wanted to create a basis for a franchise, because it had already been settled that it would be a trilogy. The bosses thought the movie had to appeal to as much people as possible. Director Catherine Hardwicke had made a lot of independent movies and she sometimes was like an unguided projectile, she had so much energy. Kristen and I had our own ideas about the characters and we both are rather stubborn.

But the mega success of the first movie has made everyone more calm. We are less insecure. The studio bosses know that we are going to make the right decisions. We also have Chris Weitz as the new director. He’s very calm and got everyone ready very fast. We have all worked so hard.

Have you seen New Moon a few times yet?

RP: Once. I still think it’s a torture to see myself on the big screen. But this time it wasn’t a punishment. Surprisingly, I enjoyed it. That hadn’t happened since the beginning of my career.

Don’t you think it’s frightening to see how obsessed some fans are?

RP: Definitely. When the Twilight hype broke out, I sometimes had visions of my getting stabbed by a crazy fan. Those crowds at premieres… Im not at ease. When we were shooting New Moon in Vancouver, some fans would be out there for 3 days in a row, good or bad weather. At times like that, your instinct tells you: that is a weirdo and your imagination runs wild. But mostly it’s not so bad when you go and talk to that person.

Twilight is just my job, but for a fan, it’s something they desperately want to be a part of. Is that wrong? Im not so sure anymore. A fan is a fan, that’s all. It just takes a while before you get used to the fact that what you do, gets appreciated by people.

Have you ever been a fan of someone?

When I first saw ‘One flew over the cuckoo’s nest’, I was 16 and that movie has influenced me so much. I even started to dress like Jack Nicholson. That period lasted for a long time. I also had a thing for Patricia Arquette. But I don’t think that any of that has influenced my work. (laugh)

In New Moon, the young Taylor Lautner plays a wolf, Jacob. What did you think when you saw his muscles?

RP: That I needed to hit the gym stat. (laugh) No, I think it’s ok. It’s funny: for some reason, when you’re an actor in a teen movie, they expect you to have a six pack. So when I see a guy that meets every expectation of a teenage girl, I do get a complex yeah. Actually, that was perfect to get into my role. I now know the feeling of having to prove myself against someone younger than me.

You have a great connection with Kristen, that isn’t a secret. But in this movie, there’s also a lot of chemistry between her and Taylor. Were you jealous?

RP: No. In New Moon, we only have like 3 scenes with the three of us. I barely had the chance to be jealous. When I had to work, Taylor wasn’t around because Bella and Jacobs story line was developing without me. In Eclipse, the third movie, which we wrapped a while ago, it’s totally different. There’s a lot more interaction between the characters. Taylor and I were teasing each other the whole time.

This time, Taylor is the leading man. Does that take some pressure off your shoulders?

RP: Asolutely. I keep on saying this is Taylors movie. Im not the lead role. He’s fully responsible and that’s a win-win situation. If it’s a flop, I can always say that it’s because Im in it less. (laugh)

What’s next on your agenda?

RP: It has been a weird year. I have been working non-stop, with 4 days off at the most. First there was New Moon, then Eclipse. I was pretty relieved when we could wrap at the end of October. I finally got to sleep in. But we didn’t get much rest, with the promo tour for New Moon coming up. In February I will go to Budapest to shoot Bel Ami. Not with Nicole Kidman, as reported first. Im not allowed to say who it is yet. Ive also signed on for Unbound Captives, a romantic drama with Rachel Weisz. But chances are that before all that, I'm expected on the set of the forth Twilight movie.

Megan Fox is the most beautiful woman in the world and she said that title has made her shy. What do you think of the fact that some magazines call you the most sexy man on the planet?

RP: God, I don’t even think I’m a real man yet (laugh)

Robert Pattinson Red Carpet Interview From London (With LoveFilm)

Short but sweet :)

NEW/Old Robert Pattinson Interview With The Star

Another great interview from Cannes! He reads fanfiction (woohoo!), says Kristen and he are just friends (the same answer in all Cannes interviews so yawn), talks about how he thinks Twilight books are sexy (oh the leg hitch, you just want them to do it already!) and how he is happy with the Volturi fight scene since it makes him look like he is good at fighting...



From TheStar.com by Peter Howell:

CANNES, France–There are no crystal decanters of blood for Robert Pattinson to sip from, or milky white virgin necks to nibble upon.

Pattinson's treats, arrayed before him on a glass table shaped like a kneeling Greek goddess, aren't your typical vampire fare: a bowl of potato chips, packages of green apple mint gum and a box of See's chocolates imported from the U.S.

The world's sexiest undead man eschews all the caloric temptations, apologizing as he nips off to another room for a few drags on a Camel Lights cigarette before commencing this interview.

"I'm sorry!" he says, pausing only to shake hands. "I'll be right back!"

Pattinson returns a few minutes later, flashing a smile filled with extraordinarily white teeth. Despite the 28C heat on this sunny day at the Cannes Film Festival, he's wearing two shirts (a short-sleeved one over a T-shirt) and cotton jeans with holes in the knees.

The London-born actor's heavily moussed hair, as always, looks like it has been styled by the fingers of ravaging fans of the Twilight books and films that have made him into a teen scream sensation.

"It's completely nuts," Pattinson, 23, says of his sudden global acclaim. "I had lunch in some restaurant the other day down the street and if you're in a place for more than an hour, word gets out. There were like 500 or 600 people outside, watching and waiting for me."

He is animated and engaging while speaking, quite unlike the pale and brooding vampire Edward Cullen he plays in Twilight, a 2008 hit, and its sequel New Moon, which arrives in theatres Nov. 20.

Which means he had to act the role, of course, and in Pattinson's case he used the approach of a method actor, trying to move the way a vampire does. The feat was complicated by the desire of director Catherine Hardwicke, the film's producers and Twilight novelist Stephenie Meyer that Pattinson not act like the typical neck-biting bloodsucker.

"They kept saying they wanted to reinvent the genre of the vampire film, so I was really just trying to figure out how to play a vampire not as a vampire," Pattinson says, running a hand through his brown locks. "I looked at a lot of movement in samurai films, because of the stillness. None of which I particularly used. It just sort of felt Zen."

He finally determined that the key to understanding Edward was aloneness.

"I spent a lot of time by myself. I tried not to talk to too many people. My initial instinct was not to talk to anybody at all, so my first line would be like the first time I had spoken in a month, so you could get that kind of weird dialect. But it's quite tough to do that!" he laughs.

Tougher still is living up to expectations of what Twilight fans expect of Pattinson and his co-star Kristin Stewart, who plays Bella, the all-too-human love of the immortal and undead Edward.

So far, fans have given the actors an enthusiastic thumbs up, to the point of fantasizing them as a couple in real life, something that both Pattinson and Stewart have denied, albeit not terribly convincingly, with "we're just friends" shrugs.

(The flames of Pattinson's and Stewart's supposed hot love were fanned all this past summer by tabloid reports while the duo were in Vancouver filming Eclipse, the third film in the Twilight franchise, due out in 2010. The tabs had the couple married off and even expecting a baby, although Pattinson knocks the rumours in a cover story in the December issue of Vanity Fair, which has just been released.)

Fear.Net Interview From Comic Con

With a new director, new cast members, and a whole new artistic vision, New Moon promises to be a more mature and emotionally fraught film than Twilight. Fear Net chatted yesterday with Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, the stars of the hotly anticipated vampire romance, as well as Chris Weitz, the second director in the Twilight Saga. Learn what they told us after the jump.

On preparing for New Moon:

Pattinson: ...as soon as I finished Twilight I knew what I had to do and I knew I had a lot of work to do. I mean, gaining 30 pounds. I stayed focused and it all worked out well.(Gozde:Okay, I missed all comic con but Rob gained 30 pounds? It's Taycob that gained the weight no? And if Rob did gain 30 pounds where did they go, in his beanie? :))
On the fans at Comic-Con:

Stewart: I knew what to expect going into this so I was much less surprised. When I show up at these places I'm always sort of blown away. In this case I was ready for it. I think I was overcompensating. I was really tired.

Pattinson: We've seen just about everything there is to see with these fans during the past year, so we expect anything. And it was just awesome to be with them again and show them the two clips.

On the film's romance:

Stewart: The [romance was probably] the only thing that could bring this girl out of the deep. I mean, it's much more heightened depression. In this movie you don't get sad, it's like you die.

On the third film, Eclipse:

Stewart: But it's kind of nice because we are playing the same characters and building on them and digging deeper into their lairs.

On what was learned from the previous movie:

Weitz: For one thing, I have a wonderful cast, which is really the main appeal to me. Because when I was offered the film I hadn't read the books yet, and once I did I saw that there was this kind of deep current of longing and romance to it. I inherited a huge fan base, which is incredible for a director, because you know people are going to come and see your movie. That's the whole thing you worry about when you're trying to make a film, because it's so, so expensive and you work so hard and you make other people work so hard. So knowing that people are going to come and see it is tremendously refreshing.

On changes to the first film's vampire makeup:

Weitz: There's more consistency between shots, to be cold-blooded about it. (Gozde: LMAO, you mean his ears aren't red while his face is white in this movie? That's gonna be hard to get used to :P)) The whole thing has a different kind of look because this is a whole new breed of vampires altogether. The diamond skin we're remaking – it's gonna be groovy.

Rob Thinks He Can Get in Disguise :)

From MetroNews.ca:
Robert Pattinson melted the hearts of many when Edward Cullen first appeared on screen in Twilight. The young actor is back in New Moon, but still admits he is shocked with the phenomenon Twilight has turned into. Pattinson sat down with Metro to talk about New Moon, his own success, and his character.

How is the filming going?

It’s great. To be honest, I am surprised at how relaxed it is. I was really nervous before we started because there’s so much expectation now. But with this team, everything seems to work really well. Everyone knows each other. It’s one of the most relaxed jobs I’ve ever worked on. It’s really strange. It’s going really well so far.

Last time we spoke, you told me that you still walked in the street without anyone recognizing you. I’m assuming that’s changed now.

I don’t walk in the street anymore, and when I do, I’m in disguise. (laughs) It’s actually a relief being back at work.(Gozde: Newsflash Rob, the hoodie and the ray-bans are hardly a disguise ;) It actually draws more attention. Try a pink wig next time :))

Were you surprised that Twilight became such a phenomenon?

It never ever fails to shock me. Even here. Yesterday, there were 300 people outside the set. It’s just crazy. Every day, every single person I meet knows someone who has a very strong attachment to the books. It’s very difficult to put your head around. I can go through customs at any airport in the world — every customs agent is like, ‘Can I get an autograph for my daughter?’ Every single time! It’s crazy! I just hope it doesn’t change the way I think and stuff.(Gozde: Again, newsflash, people are attached to YOU now not the book)

Which is your favorite motion picture vampire of all time?

I always liked the original Nosferatu. I watched 30 Days of Night recently. I thought it was really good. But I wouldn’t say that I was a vampire fan.

You must be offered a lot of roles now. How are you making your choices?

I judge things purely on the script. I’m booked up for this year. I’ve been doing the most different things you can possibly imagine. Every part is so different. I can’t say any of the parts I’m doing — they haven’t been finalized yet. But I don’t pick them in terms of genre; purely the script. If I like the script and I like the part, then that’s all that matters.

Are there differences in your preparation to play Edward?

I feel very familiar with the character. I’m a ghost, a figment of Bella’s imagination. I’m not really playing Edward. I’m playing a kind of disrupted memory, which is really strange. I’m trying to play him as if Edward’s constantly thinking that things are going to fall apart. It’s this idyllic relationship on the top. I’m very, very close to the surface. He’s so insecure about everything.

And from yesterday's Kristen Stewart interview:

How would you describe it to someone who hasn’t read the books or seen Twilight?

Anybody who’s ever been broken up with will probably watch this movie, and their temperature will probably go up.(Gozde: Our temperature goes up for another reason :))

How do I describe this? It’s a movie about ultimate devotion being ripped from you and thinking that your entire world that you’ve established is wrong. And then trying to get it back and realizing that it’s all OK. (Laughs) And vampires, werewolves, too, so that makes it even more exciting. Robert Pattinson is just so cute. So is Taylor Lautner. That’s what I would tell someone who doesn’t know about the movie yet.

Once again, thanks to Stella and Lynda for the tip :)

New Spanish Interview (Tu- Magazine)

Robert Pattinson, The New King

We’re at the Beverly Hills Four Seasons talking with Ron about what it’s like to be in the middle of a fenomenon. He told us a few secrets. That he’s really bad at baseball, that he wrote a song for the Twilight soundtrack, what was it like playing Dali and working in New Moon.

You worked in the soundtrack for Twilight…
Last year I was writing songs and I think Nikki Reed gave Catherine Hardwicke a cd. She called me and said “Check this out!”, and she showed me some random scenes in the movie with my music. I thought it was so bizarre but it was ok. I didn’t think anything of it, I never thought it would be on the soundtrack but when they were I agreed to it. Now this has blown up and it looks as though I’m all ready to sign a record deal but I’m not even sure. They were just a couple of songs that I wrote some years ago and that have nothing to do with Twilight. I thought I should have recorded them under a different name, but everybody told me that this could be a really good thing, marketing wise.

Did you ever think you could dedicate completely to your music after this?
Not as a career, because that’s too hard. I think that if you start to write music profesionally it can be very stressful. Especially when you’re performing in front of thousands.
But if you only have the desire to write, then there’s nothing wrong with it. Unless you’re thinking about making money out of it.

Was it easy for you to get involved with the whole idea of vampires?
Not really. Actually, I was trying to play Edward as human as possible, instead of playing him as a fantastic creature. I thought about being bitten by one of them and becoming a vampire and living forever, of course, and everything that comes with immortality but I think that knowing everything about the vampires’ existence made me understand them better. I know Edward was an average 17 year old who got bitten by someone and three days later he woke up with insatiable need to drink human blood. After seeing all of that and realizing that his life has changed, that he can’t sleep anymore, that he’s increadibly fast and strong, that he’s going to live forever was something that it was hard to imagine as a human being. But I decided not to play him thinking as a vampire, I just added up everything he was, including him being a vampire. That was on the top of the list of things he is.

You look very handsome in the movie, do you feel any pressure about living up to that image?
I don’t like to see myself because I start feeling weird, like I’m going to be sick. But there’s also the thing that playing a vampiure is not something that it’s within my range. I always try to bring something positive in any character that I’m playing. Although I think people love the bad boy who doesn’t care about anything, and the more worse he is, the more appealing he is to people.

Do you think fame is fun, or does it bother you?
I really don’t think about it too much. I mean, we’ve visited great cities promoting the movie and people are so excited about it everywhere, they scream. But when you leave the press room, nobody knows about you anymore. And everything separates itself. Like, you’re living two different lives.
This might be different when the sequel comes out. I’m still so immersed in the Twilight phase since the movie came out and then I’m shooting the new movie which will have its own promotion. So I know what to expect when people approach me on the street now because some fans call me Edward, so I don’t think fame will affect me.

What do you think about so many girls having your poster on their bedrooms now?
When I first signed up for it I didn’t realize it would target so many teenagers. I thought it woulkd be just and indie movie that would take on vampires with an actress doing sweet and intelligent things. I never thought it would become something so big.

What was more difficult? Filming Twilight or promoting it?
(laughs) Acting is perhaps more sincere. Promoting is sort of easy, you just talk all day. But I know that for some actors it can be very stressful and it can be a very annoying thing to say yes all the time. But it all comes down to what kind of movie you’re doing. If it’s a drama, you have to be very serious about it, unlike with comedies, for example.

Tell us about the baseball scene. We’re told you were not very good at it.
Who told you that?! I suck at baseball. For some reason, Catherine wanted me to be like a pro, and I thought, Why? Edward is a vampire, why would he have to play baseball perfectly? I never understood it, and I always questioned it. He doesn’t need to want to play, know the rules or need a bat, but Catherine said this scene was more about representing the union of a team, the union of a little community ready to defend and support each other. But yeah, I’m terrible at it. Don’t be surprised if one day you see people dressed as vampires playing baseball (laughs) that would be weird. That what be weird. But for me that was the hardest scene to shoot.

Some time ago you played Salvador Dali. Is that movie coming out soon?
I filmed that before Twilight. It was such a small movie that I don’t know what would’ve become of it if I hadn’t been in Twilight. It was a fun and interesting job.

It must’ve been a very interesting world to explore…
Of course! It was the first work I ever did in which I became completely obsessed with. Then I adapted that same mentality for Twilight. But the difference is that during all this time in Spain I as the only person on the set who didn’t speak English, so I spent all the time reading about Dali and rehearsing my lines. I think that’s why I dove in so deep inside the character, in his personality and his life. And I feel that and actor has the power to change, even if it’s just a little bit, the story of a character. Whether it’s by changing the voice, the attitude, the way you move, because you not only have to follow the instructions of a director. You have to put a lot of effort on your own. I think it would be so stresfful for directors to have actors who ask them What do you want me to do? I think it’s ridiculous, an actor shouldn’t act like a puppet, especially if he’s being paid so much to do his work.

Catherine seems to be one of the most human directors out there.
Definitely. Eventhough I did argue with her over certain scenes, most of the times I agreed with her. There’s even some thing about the way she directs that are so new to me, that I couldn’t disagree with them. For instance, in the script or in the way we would structure a scene. The point is that when you’re an actor you should merge your suggestions with the original ideas, and realizing who your director is, otherwise the job becomes stressful and it’s horrible arguing against everything.

The Dali you played was the Dali he was before the world met him.
Yes, that’s exactly what the story was about. In a way the plot is a lot like Twilight. It’s the story of two characters who because of fears and insecurities can’t consumate their love.

Are you looking forward to New Moon?
Definitely. I filmed Twilight not thinking it would become a trilogy, so if the first movie captured people, the sequel will immortalize the characters and their stories.
