Robert Pattinson
R-Pattz seems ready more than ever to become Robert Pattinson.
An intimate conversation with the most famous, and future ex-vampire in the world.
This is it. This is the end. Our last interview for Twilight. With hindsight, how did this experience change you, as an actor and as a person?
It's hard to say... I try to see how this adventure will fit into the plans I had when I started at 17. At the time, I had a pretty good idea of who I wanted to be at 32. The path is perhaps not the one I imagined, but I have the feeling of moving in the same direction. It's funny how things happen sometimes. I never thought something like Twilight could happen to me. In any case, I am very exited by what comes next. The advantage of being part of such a cultural phenomenon is that it makes every choice more exciting, because you know that many people are interested and waiting to see what your next project is. If you make a great film that nobody sees, it doesn't matter. Well, it does, really... I'm just very a superficial guy who needs an audience!
We all seek recognition ...
That's it. I want to be cool. (Laughs.) That said, something new happened to me with Cosmopolis. It's the first time that I feel deeply convinced that a film I played was a total successful. If someone were to speak badly of it, I know they're wrong, whereas usually, I'd be the type to say "I quite like this and I quite like that, but OK... whatever!"
The problem is that from now on you will suffer if your future projects do not all live up to this.
And it is far from being a given, believe me. Nowadays, I feel that the Hollywood industry has only one goal: to force you to make shit. The system transforms everything it touches into a dud. Fortunately, there is a small group of directors who resist this, but they are forced to grow on the fringe. It's a miracle they've manage to survive. I'm thinking of someone like Harmony Korine, in particular, whom I find particularly brilliant. He showed me his new film this summer, Spring Breakers, which I loved. I wouldn't want to jinx it, but I feel that it can really be a hit. I want to with directors like him, people who have spent their lives refusing to compromise, whatever the cost. If you look closely, they are often the ones who have longest careers. They are the safest investments in the market!
