Do you remember the last time you have been incognito?
When has it been? Oh yeah, recently at a dinner. I was told at the reception that there’s a table with 18 persons next to mine. I thought knee-jerked “Oh no, a gaggle of teenagers?”. There have been 18 Asian kids but none knew me. I had the most relaxing dinner for ages.
If you compare your life as a megastar with one of a guy from London who makes a night of, what are you missing most?
To meet new people. It sounds strange when somebody with my profession says this but I mean really get known new people. Mostly, I’m asking myself twice if I can trust people so the most relationships stay casually.
Whom did you adore when you were a teenager?
Puppy love wasn’t my thing. Maybe Arsenal London but that’s it.
Reese Witherspoon and Christoph Waltz have an OSCAR at home, you are known as a teenage-swarm. How could you assert yourself?
It was very easy. You should always work with the best, it’s easy for you then. Reese and Christoph have been a kind of insurance package.
In your movies, you’re suffering all the time. Must love always hurt?
When you look at my character in WfE, of course! Nearly every time I kiss Reese I get hurt afterwards (laughs)
You have a liability to complicated relationships in your movies. A vampire who is doomed to virginity, a keeper who’s in love with his boss’ wife…
It’s a mere chance! A love story doesn’t have to have a happy end but to a life-long friendship. Everything else is a cliché and I’m bored about it.
Don’t you like the idea of a romantic, the absolute love?
Oh yeah, definitely. In the movies the people have always to work very hard to be happy in the end. In the real life it’s happening very easy and you abandon oneself for love.
How does a woman have to be, to conquer your heart?
Puh. I always had a crush on girls who don’t like me. I like if someone is intelligent, talented and ambitious.
Like Kristen Stewart (smiles and silence)
Reese Witherspoon is supposed to disliked the love scences with you…
Hm, maybe Reese was just not turned on? No, I think it was because she was close to her wedding and she didn’t want to have something with another guy.
Would it stir you to have something going on with a married women?
No, I’m not the guy who would steal somebody else’ girl.
Was it more easy to get body contact with your other co-star?
Tai is really different from how you’re imagine an elephant, she’s incredible. So deliberate and careful. Once, she nearly lied on my without even touching me, although she could have smashed me with one single move. I think she has deformed me for all co-stars to come. Just babies and animals are so selfless in front of a camera. Amongst adult actors is always a kind of comprehension.
Are you talking about Christoph Waltz?
No, I swear: Christoph is the funniest guy you can imagine. No reason to be nervous. He is always asked: Can Robert Pattinson really act? He always defends me, you see, he’s a great guy (laughs)
What do you think, why do people still think you’re a not-talented teenie star?
That’s the way it is. When you’re successful you’ve to pay for it. Because Twilight has been this successful I’ve to prove for the next 10 years that I can act as another guy than Edward.
You can easily receive the impression that you are a bit unconfident and that you have to justify for your success. Why is that?
Often, I don’t know what to answer on special questions. Do you have an idea? “How do you feel a the sexiest man alive?” How should I? Like a complete idiot! Maybe I have luck compared to my female colleagues. I think they have to answer much more “sexy-questions” than I have to.
Just ask Brad Pitt…
You’re right. What I mean is that it belongs to women, they can play each character anyway. When an actor is named to be a sex-symbol it’s kind of a bane because nobody take you seriously afterwards.
Actually, you’re in an enviable position: the biggest heartthrob in the world, apart from Justin Bieber.
It's in comprehensible how I could be named in the same category with him! I respect Justin Bieber but we’re from totally different poles. I really can’t understand how I could ever call the same emotions he does. Probably I belong to the same target audience but I didn’t ever wanted the fame.
But you became famous, what are doing with it now?
I’m sitting in hotel rooms and play “fall down” on my iPhone to delirium. A ridiculous waste of time, you don’t need any part of your brain, you just have to roll the little ball around. I can play it about 16hrs.
Awful!
I also download films but I don’t have more than 20 min. to concentrate on it at the moment. Mostly I fall asleep.
Are you suffering on stress? Burn-out?
No, I’m just tired all the time. I’m sort of stand-by-mode when I don’t work.
You’re most of your time on the way, anyway you’ve adopted a dog from a animal shelter. Isn’t your life kind of unsettled to look after a puppy?
I thought this too, but I realized a set is a the perfect area for a dog. There’re at least 100 persons for his entertainment all the time. When I have free time I’ll team him in my trailer.
Which tricks can he do already?
After one day he was house-trained, with age of 9 week he could come for a stave, he’s a genius. Maybe because he is a mongrel and got all the best from his forefathers.
Maybe you should become a dog-whisperer?
No, I have already one of my three dream jobs.
What are the other two?
Pianist in a hotel lobby at the Riviera or politician.
At least something in the spotlight?
Every actor is egoistic, for sure. On the other hand I’m doing this for myself. You always learn incredible much.
What’s your dream character to play? Maybe a bad guy what Christoph Waltz likes to play?
Finally, I can shoot someone in my next movie. I’d like to do this for ages: Just go into the office in the morning and….boom

Rob's Interview With "Tages Anzeiger" (Switzerland) - Translated
0 comments Posted by kotang at 5:30 PM"I approach animals as I approach human beings."
What's next after Twilight? In "Water For Elephants" the British actor Robert Pattinson expands his dreamboy-image. An encounter.
-
Robert Pattinson puts his hands - he never really knows what to do with those - in his pockets and leans his upper body forward as if he braces himself against the wind. The body language says it all. The 24-year-old actor has been in the eye of the hurricane since the first "Twilight" movie (2008), that he's only partly able to relate to. He doesn't want to seem ungrateful, but neither he has made peace with the hype yet: "I don't know if you can ever make peace with something like that. At the beginning I had no idea that I have to run along to keep on working. And that's what I'm constantly doing right now, so I'm not too concerned about it."
His latest movie is called "Water For Elephants" and is a in beautiful pictures put, classical love story: Pattinson plays a veterinary student named Jacob (what may make "Team Edward" fans wonder), who joins a traveling circus in the economically troubled thirties and falls in love with the wife of the brutal circus director (Christoph Waltz).
"I've been to the circus only once, when I was seven", Pattinson remembers. "My sister told me a clown was killed in a stunt. That haunted me. Years later she confessed that she had invited the story."
Exaggerator and "understator"
At the beginning of his career Pattinson became an exaggerator and told in auditions that he'd studied at Oxford University. "When you speak with a British accent in Hollywood, everybody accepts it without any problems." Today he's being completely modest wherever it's possible. Just don't sound conceited, that's his name of the game. When asked what he's saved on his iPod, he answers almost apologetically: "That sounds out of this world but right now I'm listening to the composer Penderecki." About the handling of animals on set of WFE he says: "I approach animals as I approach human beings, so it was like I had met just some very nice people." Then he laughs, rubbing his hands he looks into nowhere and adds: "Dude, I sound so stupid!"
Enthusiast
Reese Witherspoon, who plays the director's wife in "Water For Elephants", knows how to navigate from the teenie sensation to the "thouroughbred" performer from her own experience. "I admire Rob's enthusiasm and how hard he works", praises the ten year older actress her co-star. "He's shy, reads a lot and watches old movies. I tried to go out with him but loads of fans besieged the set so he stayed at home, understandable."
Although Robert Pattinson has nowhere his peace in public, his fans do not necessarily follow him to the movies. His melancholic love story "Remember Me" (2010) didn't even bring 20 Mio. $ in the US. Therefore, the marketing machine of Fox doesn't build on the girls magnet Pattinson for "Water For Elephants", but on Sara Gruen's bestseller and the subject of love in the circus.
"Rob is smart, he knows that he still has to expand his portfolio beyond Edward Cullen", "New Moon" director Chris Weitz says.
Screenwriter
After the Twilight Saga's two final parts of "Breaking Dawn", Robert Pattinson plays next a billionaire in David Cronenberg's "Cosmopolis". And besides he also writes: He's currently adapting a novel by Lillian Hellman to a script. But he wants to publish it under a pseudonym, because he's convinced: "I'd automatically be crucified."
In the future the young actor wants to have more control over his films and to have more time for the realizations of those.
"In addition I'd like to live in a neighborhood where no one constantly needs to be afraid of break-ins.", he expands his wish list. With his never officially confirmed girlfriend Kristen Stewart he shares a house in the Hollywood Hills where paparazzis and fans regularly lurk around. Keeping those on the other side of the fence seems to be as tricky as an unnoticed trip to his favourite burger stand.

Rob Interviews with Westfield London TV and Sky News Red Carpet Coverage at the WFE London Premiere
0 comments Posted by kotang at 7:07 AMFrom Sky News:
Westfield Shopping Centre in London was packed with R Patz fans desperate to catch a glimpse of the actor and unconcerned the film was not part of the Twilight saga.
Some had queued for over 32 hours and one group had travelled from Italy to be at the premiere of the film, which also stars Reese Witherspoon and Christoph Waltz.
Pattinson's co-stars explained his appeal. "He has a sun in his smile, he lights up everything - it's amazing, it's beautiful," they said.
He definitely appeared less overwhelmed than he was at the first couple of Twilight premieres.
Pattinson told Sky News the madness has become easier to take: "You never get used to it but it does lose its novelty and you do adapt to it. I'm not overwhelmed by it anymore."
But he said he has yet to master the art of disguise: "I could wear a mask and people would still recognise me."
In Water for Elephants R Patz stars as Jacob, a veterinary student who falls in love with a star performer in a circus played by Witherspoon.
She told Sky News: "I have a feeling (tonight) is more about Rob than me. It's been a unique experience and something I've never seen before. I just turn to him and say 'have you ever seen a premiere like this before?' and he goes 'yeah, yeah I have'."
Waltz added: "(The fans) they're not crazy at all. They're enjoying themselves, that's a different form of partying and it's really contagious and they're lovely."
So on the strength of the turnout at the premiere it looks as if Pattinson has a life beyond the Twilight Zone.
He said he is reasonably relaxed about the future and not concerned with type casting.
"I'm not worried about it. I won't be until it happens - and it's not happening yet".
Water for Elephants is now on general release.
