Robert Pattinson

Up until I was 12 my sisters used to dress me up as a girl and introduce me as `Claudia`! Twelve was a turning point as I moved to a mixed school and then I became cool and discovered hair gel.

"It`s strange, somebody asked for my autograph the other day. Because I finished school and I`m not really doing anything at the moment, I was just kind of aimlessly wandering around London and these two guys who were about 30 came up and asked for my autograph. I was really quite proud at the time, and they wanted to take photos and stuff. And then they were sort of wandering around and I was kind of wandering around and I bumped into them about three times, and every single time their respect for me kept growing and growing and growing."

"I aspire to be Jack Nicholson. I love his every single mannerism. I used to try and be him in virtually everything I did, I don`t know why. I watched One Flew Over the Cuckoo`s Nest when I was about 13, and I dressed like him. I tried to do his accent. I did everything like him. I think it kind of stuck with me."

"They (Barnes Theatre Club) were a very good group, and for some reason when I finished the backstage thing, I just decided to that I should try to act. So I auditioned for Guys and Dolls and got a little tiny part as some Cuban dancer or something and then in the next play I got the lead part, and then I got my agent. So I owe everything to that little club."

"Thats the worst thing, I dont really care if people say I`m a bad actor, I can like work on that, but if they just say that he`s ugly thats just like "oh.. really?"

"Sometimes I think, `To hell with acting,` and then I realize I could be working at a shoe shop, acting is much cooler."

"I don`t know. I think he`s (Daniel Radcliffe) , just in real life, he`s just so far superior to me in terms of desirability, so he didn`t really have much of a competition with me. So there wasn`t really much joking around. I`d probably cry if he did. If I was Katie, I would definitely go out with him because he`s rich and famous, and I`m not really. "

EDWARD: " Sleep Bella, you are the only one who has ever touched my heart, and it will always be yours, sleep my only love"..

"Before you, my life was like a moonless night, but there were stars-points of light and reason. Then you flew across my sky, and there was light. When you were gone, when the meteor had flown over the horizon, nothing had changed, but my eyes had been blinded by the light. I couldnt see the light anymore, and there ceased to be a reason for anything."

"It`s about the anticipation - walking that knife edge. How close can Edward get without killing her. It`s much more exciting than the actual act," says Hardwicke. "Yeah, I mean, have you ever tried to watch a feature-length porno?" laughs Pattinson.

"I`m really afraid of getting hit by cars, like terrified of it. I`m terrified of crossing streets. I`m also very accident-prone...I think people aim for me." -Robert Pattinson

My first kiss was when i was 12

The girly movie i secretly love is Pippy Longstockings.

My dream job is being a pianist

If i could trade places with anyone in the world it would be with someone who has lots of power like George Bush

My worst habit is speaking to much

Twelve was a real turning point for me as I moved to a mixed school, and then I became cool and discovered hair gel.

I don`t really see the point in washing your hair. If you don`t care if your hair`s clean or not then why would you wash it?

I don`t even have people`s phone numbers. I almost don`t want to have a girlfriend in this environment.

Last year I couldn`t even have a date,but now it seems that girls have changed their opinion about me.

When you are followed constantly by fanatic fans,you try to eliminate the times you come up against them.That`s why I hide myself sometimes.

Robert Pattinson: (Talking about his first job) I started doing a paper round when I was about 10. I started earning £10 a week and then I was obsessed with earning money until I was about 15.

Robert Pattinson: (Talking about how he got into the dramatic arts) I haven't really decided to be an actor yet! I started doing plays when I was about 15 or 16. I only did it because my dad saw a bunch of pretty girls in a restaurant and he asked them where they came from and they said drama group. He said "Son, that is where you need to go."

Robert: (On his favourite scene from New Moon) The Volterra scene, where I have to step into the light. There were many extras and many fans there. Some fans travelled across the world to be there. I felt a huge sense of responsibility, being in front of so many that are so obsessed with this story. It was nerve wrecking, but I never felt closer to the character before this.

Robert: (On strange stories written about him) Recently a magazine had on the cover that I was pregnant. I was just like, "Wow!" It was without a hint of irony. I didn't know what to make of that one. I saw a couple of comments under the article saying, "That's why he always wears jackets. He always wears layers to hide it."

Robert: (whether he thought he was a sexy man-beast) I wouldn't be able to say. I don't think I'm much of one. It's funny, it is the secret to any guy - if people find him unattractive or whatever you just get Stephenie Meyer to tell the world, to put on her Web site that this guy is now attractive and everybody changes their minds.

Robert: (talking about his hair) I have so much residue crap in my hair from years and years of not washing it and not having any sense of personal hygiene whatsoever... even today, I go into these things where I'm supposed to be this sexy guy or whatever, and I'm literally asking, "if I get plumes of dandruff on me, can you just brush it off?"

Robert: (On the possibility of playing a superhero) My little cousin tells me I look like Magneto so I guess that's who I should probably play.

Robert: (Talking about his accent) I keep forgetting I'm speaking in an American accent sometimes. The dangerous thing is that you end up forgetting what your real accent is after a while! It's really strange; I've never done a job in an American accent before.

Robert: Before Twilight, I did any movie that I got offered. But now fans expectations have doubled and I just can't mess around. Today, I can't afford to be a part of any movie. I have to question a lot more now before I take a project. After all I can't disappoint my fans.

Robert: (How he rediscovered his love for rap music) I've really gotten into hip-hop again recently. I'm reliving my childhood. I've been listening to a lot of Wu-Tang Clan. I always wanted to be a rapper when I was younger. That's always what I wanted to be before I started acting.

Robert: (Explaining what he had to think about, in the perspective of Edward Cullen from 'Twilight', when he was isolating himself from the world) I was thinking that he's just a normal guy who got bitten by someone. I guess I just tried to think, if you've been bitten by some guy when you're unconscious and you wake up and you're eternal and you have super-strength and super-speed and you want to kill people and drink their blood and before that you're a perfectly normal 17-year-old

Robert: (Describing his character Edward Cullen in 'Twilight') He's a poet, and very deep and profound. He's just extraordinarily troubled.

Robert: (On being asked how he approached the kissing scenes in 'Twilight') I kinda just approached it from the front.

Robert: (Explaining how he wasn't beautiful enough to portray Edward Cullen in 'Twilight') Thats kind of why I was kind of tortured before the casting. I read the book and was like "Well this is really dumb. It's just pointless, even going for it."

Robert: (Talking about the living conditions when he lived with his best friend in London) It was so cool... you had to walk through a restaurant kitchen to get up to the roofs but you could, like, walk along all the roofs... I didn't do anything for a year, I just sat on the roof and played music... it was like the best time I had ever had.

Robert: (Talking about the personal training program he had to do for 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire') I thought that would be pretty cool, because it would make me take it seriously.

Robert: (Talking about Ralph Fiennes) I was quite intimidated by Ralph Fiennes. I didn't really talk to him while I was doing Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and the only thing I did with him was when he stepped on my head. Then I went to this play and he was there. And this girl said, "you've worked with Ralph Fiennes haven't you, Robert?" and I was like, "well, no..." and Ralph said, "yes, I stepped on your head." And that was the extent of our conversation.

Robert: (On Katie Leung) I get on really well with Katie, she's a really cool girl.

Robert: (Explaining the big change in his life after Harry Potter) The day before the film was released, I was just sitting in Leicester Square, happily being ignored by everyone. Then suddenly strangers are screaming your name. Amazing.

Robert: (On Daniel Radcliffe) I think Daniel's... just so far superior to me in terms of desirability, so he didn't really have much of a competition with me. If I were Katie, I would definitely go out with him because he's rich and famous, and I'm not really!

Robert: (Talks about his school reports) School reports were always pretty bad. I never ever did my homework. I always turned up for lessons as I liked my teachers but my report said I didn't try very hard.

Robert: (About how he misses London) When I was flying to Rome, we flew over London; I felt like bursting into tears. It's part of me, so I can't leave London behind for good.

Robert: My dad said to me the other day, I really am an artistic person. I was shocked as I never saw him as a creative. I think me and my sisters are living out that side of him as my sister is another creative person, she's a songwriter.

Robert: (Pattinson recently talked about kissing Kristen Stewart to "Twist" magazine) I always get carried away when I'm kissing. I just go nuts! Walking away after it is the strangest moment for me. It's embarrassing - not knowing what to say to each other.

Robert: They (Barnes Theatre Club) were a very good group, and for some reason when I finished the backstage thing, I just decided to that I should try to act. So I auditioned for Guys and Dolls and got a little tiny part as some Cuban dancer or something and then in the next play I got the lead part, and then I got my agent. So I owe everything to that little club.

Robert: I aspire to be Jack Nicholson. I love his every single mannerism. I used to try and be him in virtually everything I did, I don't know why. I watched One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975) when I was about 13, and I dressed like him. I tried to do his accent. I did everything like him. I think it kind of stuck with me.

Robert: (Talking about being naked in his new role in Little Ashes) In a lot of ways, I was kind of crossing lines of what I thought I was comfortable doing. I had to do all this naked stuff.

Robert: (Talking about his love life) I don't see people. I don't even have people's phone numbers. I almost don't want to have a girlfriend, in this environment.

Robert: (On what he looks for in a girl) I'm always shocked by the people who I'm attracted to. It's always completely random. I generally like people who are a bit crazy but yeah, that's pretty much my only prerequisite.

Robert: (On his belief in soul mates) I hope there is such a thing. I guess it would be quite scary to find a soul mate when you're young because you're probably going to mess it up.

Robert: I started doing a paper round when I was about 10. I started earning £10 a week and then I was obsessed with earning money until I was about 15.

Robert: Since I started acting it's kind of been a bit mad. I never really did anything before and two years ago I started acting and I've kind of been in work ever since. Then Harry Potter came along and it's been a huge step and a massive event in my life.

Robert: (on his favorite cartoons as a kid) I quite liked Sharkey and George and then there was a cartoon with rapper MC Hammer in it - Hammertime - I loved that cartoon, it was genius! They don't make cartoons like that anymore

I haven't really decided to be an actor yet! I started doing plays when I was about 15 or 16. I only did it because my dad saw a bunch of pretty girls in a restaurant and he asked them where they came from and they said drama group. He said "Son, that is where you need to go.

I've changed so much. I'm not nearly as cocky as I was, I was a real prat for the first month. I didn't talk to anyone. I just drank coffee and told everyone I was 24 and this famous theatre actor just back from South Africa.

Thats the worst thing, I dont really care if people say I'm a bad actor, I can like work on that, but if they just say that he's ugly thats just like "oh.. really?

I am now determined to do really weird parts but I think I overdo it in auditions so nobody really trusts me!

Sometimes I think, 'To hell with acting,' and then I realize I could be working at a shoe shop, acting is much cooler.

I have no idea. I think I would have just gone to university and would have kind of just done the average thing." On if he hadn't become an actor

It's strange, somebody asked for my autograph the other day. Because I finished school and I'm not really doing anything at the moment, I was just kind of aimlessly wandering around London and these two guys who were about 30 came up and asked for my autograph. I was really quite proud at the time, and they wanted to take photos and stuff. And then they were sort of wandering around and I was kind of wandering around and I bumped into them about three times, and every single time their respect for me kept growing and growing and growing

I walked out the wrong car door and started walking into the crowd, An interviewer said, 'Give your best horror scream,' and Stan did this great scream and I was too much of a wimp to do one. It was pathetic!" On his first red carpet experience

I started doing a paper round when I was about 10. I started earning £10 a week and then I was obsessed with earning money until I was about 15.

Up until I was 12 my sisters used to dress me up as a girl and introduce me as 'Claudia'! Twelve was a turning point as I moved to a mixed school and then I became cool and discovered hair gel.

Someone stole my shoelaces once from my shoes. I still wear them and never put laces in them - they're like my trademark shoes now

I can't say I was. I wasn't not a fan. I hadn't read any of the books or anything. I read The Goblet of Fire when I was doing the other film, and I really liked that. I got through it in about two days. I'd say I'm a pretty big fan now. " On whether he was a HP fan before filming

I knew the casting director from another movie which I did, and they wanted to see me for this part, but I was doing another movie over the casting period, so I ended up seeing Mike Newell and Mary Selway and Fiona Weir - who were casting at the time - before anyone else was seen for casting. And then, I went to do this other movie, and then the day I came back... I got a call back and basically, that's what happened." On getting the part of Cedric

Probably Harry. I think. Not being arrogant or anything. I just think it's a really intricate and it's an amazing part. I think also when you don't really have the opportunity to be guaranteed seven films when you're growing up during the filming." On who he would switch roles with.

I was actually having nightmares about it for months in advance, I went to Jasper Conran and picked out the most ridiculous, extravagant clothes - they looked really good in the shop. And then I put them on and I thought: you look such an idiot." On the HP Premiere

I've been using the fan websites as I was acting it, because they know so much about the books, and it's really helpful as a resource.

Well, I haven't actually died "live" yet but I've been dead a few times. It's strange, but it's quite sort of relaxing. You feel like a bit of a therapist, because everyone's giving you all their grief, and you're just lying there listening. Yeah, it was quite nice, like no pressure after a couple weeks. I enjoyed it.

I think the most embarrassing part of that was just the normal dancing. When the rock band comes. I think there was two days where the crew was like, "Just dance, just dance.". So, you can't, in a club or whatever...That was really awkward.

As Dan was doing school at the time I was just sitting by myself for ages and at the time I wanted to be taken really serious as an actor so I used to just sit around just drinking coffee all day and trying to look really intense

I think the yule ball is more attractive to the girls who read it, I never really thought "Oh I get to go to the ball!

There were a couple of times where you think you're swimming towards a guy with a breating apparatus and then you find its just some thing in the water and you're like (imitates freaking out) and then you just know what to do and they film your stupid face just screaming underwater and then everyone starts laughing and its just like, ahh, great

We had to do this scene looking like heroes diving into the lake. they had a stand-in doing perfect dives on the first take. Then Stan, Clemence, And I tried, but none of us could dive in right, and we all looked really stupid.

Then I got a call the next day from the assistant director saying that they were putting me on a personal training programme. I thought that would be pretty cool, because it would make me take it seriously. It was run by one of the stunt team, who are the most absurdly fit guys inthe world. I can't even do 10 press ups. I did about three weeks of that, and in the end I think he got so bored of trying to force me to do it that he wrote it all down so that I could do it at home.

That is quite difficult. In the book and also my first introduction of the script is like "an absurdly handsome 17-year-old" and it kind of puts you off a little bit, when you're trying to act, and you're trying to get good angles to look good looking and stuff.

I hope im not that close to my character, I hate him, I used to hate everbody like Cedric in my school

I sort of identify with him in a couple of ways. Generally, I am quite pleasant. I think he is too, and I think that is one of the basic similarities. Let's see, I've got blond hair, I am relatively sporty. But, I think he is a better person than me.

When I was doing scenes like when hes holding my body and stuff I was quite moved by what he was doing and because hes, well hes not that young anymore, but he was quite young, and I was really impressed by it

We had this bonding week at the begining and I did a lot of improvising with Rupert and he's really, like hes incredibly funny, but just as a real person, because hes funny in the film obviously, but he can do - he's like really versatile doing acting, and Emma as well, she can just, she just does it, shes an actress, she always has been and she's just incredibly intelligent young person

Er no, I think Dan could steal anyone from me. If I was a girl I would pick Dan!

I don't know. I think he's (Daniel) , just in real life, he's just so far superior to me in terms of desirability, so he didn't really have much of a competition with me. So there wasn't really much joking around. I'd probably cry if he did. If I was Katie, I would definitely go out with him because he's rich and famous, and I'm not really.

Yeah. I get on really well with Katie, she's a really cool girl. I don't have many talking scenes (with her). Most of my scenes, like big scenes, are just with Dan. I dance with her, and there's a lot of scenes like holding hands and stuff like that. But I get on really well with her. She's a nice girl.

I'm a big fan of Michael Gambon. I had one scene sitting next to him at the dragon task, and I had no idea what to say to him at all! He was the only person I asked for an autograph the whole way through it!

I was so concerned about looking cool, It's weird seeing them. They are the most famous kids, I kept calling them famous. They're on their way to becoming icons. I used to try to be moody and stuff. I'm really good friends with a lot of people from the film. It was a long time, I was doing it for 11 months.

I'm just a big, hard tool.

I'm really afraid of getting hit by cars, like terrified of it. I'm terrified of crossing streets. I'm also very accident-prone...I think people aim for me.

I went to do my first big movie when I was 17. I was in South Africa for three and half months, and I was by myself.

I was just taking out my trash and I had, like, 300 cans of Diet Coke. It was just like, 'How did that happen?' I don't even remember buying them. I also like Cinnamon Toast Crunch. My addictions are pretty much the only things I consume.

I spent a long time trying to figure out how to play (Edward's part) without making a fool out of myself. The whole book is written from Bella's perspective and she's in love with him. I mean, the guy can be anybody — he could be an alien — and you see past everything if you're in love with someone.

If 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.

I've got a terrible memory—I end up repeating myself quite a lot. The only thing I can remember is that I'm going to repeat myself!

It sounds lame, but I was really concentrating on this job. It was my first American thing so I was pretty focused. I went to Portland for two months before we starting shooting, and I just didn't talk to anybody for ages during the beginning of the shoot. I never went out, but I kind of broke down half way through. I was like, 'Okay, people are starting to think that I'm actually out of my mind now.
