Sometimes I think I look like I've had facial reconstructive surgery. Like after burns.
Robert PattinsonWhen this is over, the media will lose interest [in the relationship]. Thereโll be nothing to say. It wonโt fit into a headline anymore. It wonโt fit into a template.
Robert PattinsonSmaller movies are great because you don't have to argue with so many people all the time. But really I like arguing so there's a balance either way.
Robert PattinsonI like the story about me being pregnant. It was in some Australian magazine, on the front page! I was like, 'Wow, that's just [insane].' And it's not even ironic. I don't even think the article [tried to justify it]; it was just a headline. The article was just like, nothing.
Robert PattinsonFrankly, I have no sex appeal. Just strolling in Los Angeles, London, or Paris, you will find a bunch of young guys like me. I am not James Dean.
Robert PattinsonI'm boring. I stay home, watch TV, and eat a lot of fast food. That's really exciting, isn't it?
Robert PattinsonIf I could get any semblance of - it's not really anonymity, but a little bit more - control over my public image, I guess that would be nice.
Robert PattinsonIt's fun to deal with the terror and the huge highs and lows of things. We're still getting massive surprises, every time you have any kind of Twilight-related event or anything.
Robert PattinsonGirls, you know it's all just a game to them, relationships. Just go around stomping on everyone.... I mean, look at this poor guy in the background with his collar up. You know he's just gonna get ruined by women.
Robert PattinsonI always think everything is going to be my last job so every single day is a gift. This whole life is an accident for me.
Robert PattinsonYou have this weird thing where you end up trying to fight against this faceless blob, where the more you hate it, the bigger it gets, because it's all in your head.
Robert PattinsonI'm afraid of buying a house or anything, 'cause if there's one paparazzi outside for one day, then they'll never leave.
Robert PattinsonAfter the first one [Twilight Saga movie], as soon as people start referring to something as a franchise. A franchise is a Burger King or a Subway. It's not a movie. The people who start to say it are generally the people who are making money off of it. That's how they refer to it. They love it when something has become a franchise. But, as an actor, I think it's scary.
Robert PattinsonI don't really know [who my favorite vampire is]. I always think, 'Ethan Hawke in Interview with a Vampire,' and someone will say, 'He's not the vampire. He's the interviewer.'
Robert PattinsonIf I go and try to watch a movie by myself I'll be completely transfixed the whole time, concentrating one hundred percent. But if I'm with another person on a date or something, within two minutes I'll be like 'This is rubbish, this is rubbish. We should leave and do something else.' I don't really know why.
Robert PattinsonMy biggest problem in my life is I'm cheap and I didn't hire a publicist. In every awkward interview, normally actors get these things scripted.
Robert PattinsonI am now determined to do really weird parts but I think I overdo it in auditions so nobody really trusts me!
Robert PattinsonI remember when I was younger I used to write in my diary: I want my luck to be spread. โNever give me anything too lucky all at once. I'll take a little luck now and then, but spread it for seventy years. โNow that all of this is happening, I'm sure the rest of my life will be ruined.
Robert PattinsonI'm curious to see what happens in England because in all this madness I think I can always go home to England and it'll all turn off.
Robert PattinsonI had pecs for about two days. Everyone would hate me. Just look at me walking around with my little peacoat on. My little customized pea coat.
Robert PattinsonI think it's such a risky thing doing interviews. I try to limit the amount of interviews that I do because no one is that interesting especially when you're not really saying anything. And I don't particularly want to be an character in society or whatever.
Robert PattinsonIt's a little bit over the top. I feel the same in my head I guess. I was quite a paranoid person anyway, so it doesn't really feed well when people are looking at you. I'm not really in the right job. I don't like having my photo taken. I don't like the attention.
Robert PattinsonThe stuff I find attractive in women I always regret finding attractive. I always like a kind of madness in a woman... I like it when they hate me right from the beginning.
Robert PattinsonIt's fun to deal with the terror and the huge highs and lows of things. We're still getting massive surprises, anytime there's any Twilight-related event or anything.
Robert PattinsonThe only way to establish any kind of mystique, is to completely shut up and never talk to anyone. And I'm contractually obligated not to shut up.
Robert PattinsonChristoph Waltz is stunning, an insanely nice guy. He is not only a ridiculously good actor, heโs also funny, helpful & a good colleague. I like his work ethic. I mean, the guy has won an Oscar and despite that he is receptive, open-minded & not the least bit snooty. Reese Witherspoon is the same. It may be the nicest cast that I have worked with yet.
Robert PattinsonIf you're a fan of it, there's a lot of things that plays into what the fans of the series want. If you've never seen them before, a lot of people who have seen it tell me that it's the most accessible of the three. It's a solid story, by itself, and it's more of a sort of action film. When I was watching Twilight the other day, I realized that you do need to read the book to get it.
Robert PattinsonIt's strange because I'm a sex symbol to 14-year-old girls which I guess is not the most helpful situation to be in. But yeah, I've never really thought of it. It's just so funny. I mean, just last year I couldn't even get a date and then this year, the world turns and it's so bizarre that everybody just changes their mind at the same time.
Robert PattinsonIn this scene, I'm talking about how much I don't like cookies.... I'm sayin', 'Listen, guys. Have you read the book? We're not supposed to be eating.'
Robert PattinsonJust last year I couldn't even get a date, and then this yearโฆ it's so bizarre that everybody just changes their mind at the same time.
Robert PattinsonI don't know what's wrong with me, My brain doesn't work anymore. I haven't any memory. I can't write. All I can do is sign my name. I tried to write the other day-it looked like I was writing in Braille.
Robert PattinsonIt's not necessarily that satisfying getting monetary success, but sometimes it keeps the door open to make what you want to make.
Robert PattinsonPeter also uses his wig as a cereal bowl... He'll some times have some, like, Top Ramen in it.
Robert PattinsonBut you're not really allowed to complain about any of this, You're just supposed to be grateful. And obviously-I get it. You're lucky and you should appreciate your luck. But, I mean, it just seems if you even hint that there's a bad side to any of this people will be like-Liar! I guess it's because people want to have it as a dream
Robert PattinsonI was doing progressively smaller movies in England, after Harry Potter... to the point where I was doing nine-day shoots for, like, 20p and a packet of Space Invaders. And then this happened. So I'm not just another actor who's around and jobbing. When you hire me for a job, you're hiring.
Robert PattinsonI'm not particularly good at coping with it. I just cope. I just leave my brain at the door and just stand there. I can get the screaming more than I get the photo things. That's the worst, when you have this wall of photographers. I've never understood the logic in how they do it. Everybody shouts at the same time, and you're trying to do a logical thing, looking from the left to the right. And they almost always end up looking disappointed with you afterwards.
Robert PattinsonI might go to some tiny little town in Idaho with, like, three people living there.
Robert PattinsonPeople would be in hysterics if they saw that. It's like, wow, he's a superhuman moron.... So he wears lipstick, has a little bouffant, and does little circus acts as well. Oh, he's so sexy.
Robert PattinsonIt's easy to get stagnate, if you play the same character. In New Moon, I felt like I was going a little bit deeper.
Robert PattinsonI don't really understand it even now, It does have an angle which is attached to something quite primal in girls. I guess people want it to define them, like 'I'm a Twilight fan.' That's crazy to me. I think people really just like being part of a crowd. There's something just tremendously exciting about hyping yourself up to that level.
