Thinking of Rob   It's all about Robert Pattinson

Here’s the weekly round-up of Robert Pattinson pics and quotes of the day that we post on our Tumblr.

“Having a persona people recognize, it’s the thing that probably gets you paid the most – but it’s also the thing that virtually every actor in the world doesn’t want. ‘Cause, like, no one would believe me if I wanted to play something ultra-realistic, like a gangster or something.”

“I don’t know if I could ever really be cast in a heartthrob role apart from ‘Twilight,’ which I didn’t really know was a heartthrob role. I really don’t feel I am one.” – Robert Pattinson

“I have been lucky, of course. Like, last year, if I went out, I’d have to fight to chat someone up. This year, I look exactly the same, which is really scruffy, and yet lots of people seem to have just changed their minds and decided I’m really sexy.” – Robert Pattinson

“I’d go and get really drunk somewhere… in the street. Pass out somewhere and sleep in the gutter.” -Robert Pattinson (on what he’d do if he was invisible for a day – USA Today)

“I think pretty much all people who love each other had some kind of thing at first sight. I mean, there has to be some kind of moment where you, like, feel a different energy around someone.” -Robert Pattinson

“The only time I ever follow Twitter is if I’m in a restaurant or something, just before I leave, to see if people are waiting outside. It does make you a bit of a loser, especially when someone asks you, ‘Hey, you want to go to dinner at this place?’ and I’m like, ‘Can we have dinner at this (other) place? It has three exits.” – Robert Pattinson

“Everyone used to chuck snails at each other at school, and I used to try and save them. And not only did I get in trouble for it, I got suspended for doing it. For saving the snails I kept about four or five hundred of them at the back of the class — in Snail Land. We were like six or seven or something, people didn’t even realise what they were doing. I had a strange compassion for snails. And the teacher just chucked them all in the trash in the end.” – Robert Pattinson

“It’s been amazing to play the same character through so many adventures. And it’s so strange because my life has changed so much over these years, but ‘Twilight’ and Edward Cullen will always be a part of me. It’s been my whole life. My whole 20s. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.” – Robert Pattinson

“I can’t say I prefer blondes, brunettes, or redheads. I like emotion and elegance. Even expensive clothes do not guarantee a good look. You must be yourself above all!” – Robert Pattinson

“Frankly, 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 Pattinson

“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.” – Robert Pattinson

“Girls often say Edward’s “so perfect “, but he’s not. I don’t like people who try to exert control in a relationship,when there is an imbalance.” -Robert Pattinson

“In 15 years or something — I like the idea of just one paparazzo coming out and trying to get a picture and I just beat the s— out of him. I mean — out of nowhere — when my picture’s not even worth … and I’ve spent all my money, so you can’t sue me!” – Robert Pattinson

“It’s great, when you walk through a day and you know someone is talking to you and they have no idea who you are. It’s such a ridiculous thing to like but it’s so satisfying.” -Robert Pattinson

“I 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 Pattinson
