Pattinson Online has posted these scans and the translation of the Q&A. I am posting some of it here and you can read the whole interview at their site HERE. It's a great interview!
SI: Many of your fans see your character in you. Tell us, who is the real Robert Pattinson?
RP: I’m a lot more boring and less fascinating than Edward, that’s for sure. I love to read and my passion is music. When I’m not shooting, I perform in little pubs where nobody knows who I am. My ideal would be to be like Van Morrison in his beginnings. I’m obsessed with his first albums.
SI: Do you consider yourself like the good looking guy that everyone is talking about?
RP: Not at all! I stopped auditioning for months because I was not self-confident. When I read Twilight, I didn’t see me at all as Edward. We describe him as someone with a sublime body, while I’m… Let’s just say that I don’t have «chocolate bar» abs! And I could not think about spending four hours a day in a gym. I was one of the last to pass the audition and I didn’t believe in it at all.
SI: People say that you’re hiding your girlfriend. Is that true?
RP: I don’t want to get exposed, because I’m not looking for celebrity. At 16 I began to think about what I wanted to do with my life. To be on covers of magazines was not something on my list.
SI: How do you succeed in not succumbing to some of your charming fans? You have millions of them now…
RP: It’s weird because the girls who recognize me are 12 or 35 years old. I think Twilight fans are pretty much preteens and there mothers. I didn’t meet a girl of my age yet who told me she loved my part as Edward. It helps to keep my feet on the ground.
SI: American press presents you as Orlando Bloom’s successor, the new British guy who gets the teenagers attention. What do you think about that?
RP: It’s strange, because I don’t see myself as a star, not for a second. I have a specific idea of the career I want to have and I promised myself that I will not take part in a movie, without interests, only for the money. Keep this interview; someday you’ll be able to tease me when I accept a part in a trashy movie just to get a big check! (laughs)
SI: How did you plan the future when you were 17 years old, Edward’s age in Twilight?
RP: I used to have a diary in which I was writing all my thoughts. I used it from the age of 15 until I was 20. It was a book in which I would write scenarios, ideas, as well as memories. Maybe I should burn it now…(Gozde's note: Yep, you should burn it or put it in a safe guarded by the Volturi 'cause if anyone gets their hands on it it will be all over the place within seconds :)
SI: So this diary describes also your love stories?
RP: Yes. I fell in love only two times in my life. I had a great love story for 3 years.
SI: Your messy hair started a new fashion… Was it your idea?
RP: It’s the funniest thing that ever happened to me! I never thought that look would be such a big deal! I wanted my hair to be like..when I jump out of bed. (laughter) I hate to sit for an hour to get my hair and my makeup done. So I proposed to shoot without makeup and to keep my hair as it looks when I wake up. I thought it was perfect to get into the skin of a vampire.
SI: And today?
RP: It’s completely insane! A hairdresser is following me everywhere, and he makes sure that my hair has this messy look before every public appearance. I wanted something simple, but I think I blew it!
SI: What’s coming in 2009?
RP: My only wish for 2009 is to shave my head, but I don’t think the Twilight producers would agree to it! (laughs)
