Thinking of Rob   It's all about Robert Pattinson

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

“I had the most disgusting infection, ever – and I love how Reese [Witherspoon] brings that up whenever people ask her if the kissing was sexy or not. She’s like, ‘Oh, it wasn’t just unattractive, it was absolutely revolting, the worst experience of my life!’”

-Robert Pattinson

“Nothing ever matters to me apart from the people with negative opinions. That’s literally it. That always drives me on to the next thing. It’s funny, you just focus on them and then the next movie. That’s the only thing you’re thinking about when it comes out.” -Robert Pattinson – The Guardian, 2012

“No one recognised me or anything. And I was like, ah, this is really cool, sitting there eating chicken wings and stuff, but word soon got out and so many fans descended on the bar that I required a police escort back to my hotel. They always find out somehow.” -Robert Pattinson – Vanity Fair interview, 2011

“People are so judgmental. Once you’ve made one impression, that’s it. I planned for it to take ten years for that to dissipate, so to get into Cannes the year that [Twilight] is finishing was fairly ridiculous.” -Robert Pattinson (about Cosmopolis) – The Guardian UK, 2012

“I am the worst driver in the world. Every time I get in a car, I call up my parents and say goodbye.” -Robert Pattinson – Elle Magazine, 2011

“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 – Elle Magazine, 2011

“A bunch of paparazzi were following me, and I thought the best way to deal with it was to stop my car in the middle of the street and say, “I’m not leaving and I’m not going to speak to you anymore.” They got all pissed off because they can’t just keep taking the same picture. We were in Venice by the boardwalk and they kept trying to get all these drug dealers to come up to the car. I was just like, “Oh my God this is insane.” -Robert Pattinson – Elle Magazine, 2011

“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 – MTV, 2011

“I’ve always liked the members of the royal family who couldn’t care less what anyone thinks: the ones who go, ‘I’m royalty – so shut up!’ That’s one of the coolest things about England, I think, that we still have this crazy old system in place.” -Robert Pattinson – RadioTimes, 2011

“As with theatre in London, there’s an accepted protocol, and if you start screwing with it – if you don’t kiss certain arses and stuff – it comes back to bite you, and it’s quite difficult to keep working.” -Robert Pattinson – RadioTimes, 2011

“It was one of my first castings, and I was looking at Reese in front of me, thinking, ‘You look 25 years old, and I look about 21’.” -Robert Pattinson (about being cast opposite Reese Witherspoon in Vanity Fair) – RadioTimes, 2011

“Twilight was very much a fluke for me, so getting a job like Water for Elephants, with people like Reese [Witherspoon] and Christoph [Waltz] – it’s just a massive payoff.” -Robert Pattinson – RadioTimes, 2011

“Someone tried to meet me in my hotel in Paris and they had no idea at the reception. That was quite cool.”-Robert Pattinson (on not being recognized) – deredactie.be, 2011

“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, – MTV, 2011

“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 – MTV, 2009

“You’re not a fan, you’re just a d**k! Find out who these little s***s are and hack into their computers.” -Robert Pattinson (about the leaked Twilight scenes) – RadioTimes, 2011

“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 – RadioTimes, 2011

“I wanted to try theatre after Harry Potter and I wanted to do something weird. I was offered an American thing where I had to sign up to three movie contracts and I dunno… I don’t really know what I should be doing yet, so I prefer to do nothing really! There was one script that I really, really liked. I got down to the last two and they picked the other guy which was a bit annoying.” -Robert Pattinson – Virgin Media interview, 2005

“There was a lot of underwater stuff which I quite liked, it got therapeutic after a while. I had never scuba dived before and the tank they taught us in was a little bath tub. The real thing was massive, like 60 feet deep and they expect you to just get in and act.” -Robert Pattinson (about his part as Cedric in The Goblet of Fire) – Virgin Media interview, 2005

“I just finished filming for the other role in South Africa, Cape Town. I was there for three months in an apartment at just 17! It was ridiculous, so I came back really confident. The casting agent on Vanity Fair was the same as the one on Harry Potter and I was the first person to be seen for any part on the film, which could have helped. I am now determined to do really weird parts but I think I overdo it in auditions so nobody really trusts me!” -Robert Pattinson – Virgin Media interview, 2005

“Well, I’m not really that good. I am in a band at the moment called Bad Girls. The band belongs to my first girlfriend’s current boyfriend and he was having an open mic night. He invited me to sing, but it was just a bit of fun – that was about six months ago. I don’t know where that’s going to go.” -Robert Pattinson – Virgin Media interview, 2005

“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 – Virgin Media interview 2005

“It’s just a hobby and it’s important to me. I don’t want to release an album. It would be judged as Edward Cullen’s album, and I want to keep that part of my life for myself.” -Robert Pattinson (on music) – New Zealand Herald, 2011

“I don’t think people should look for a contract. My sister works so hard to make money and I think it ruins you, I think it’s a lot easier to make money in the acting world, not that it’s easier but there aren’t so many pressures on you. You don’t have to be so humble, where in the music industry you have to really bow down to a lot of people to get noticed.” -Robert Pattinson – Virgin Media interview, 2005

“I kind of have a little breakdown every three months. You know, ‘I’ve got to get out somewhere! Arrrrggghhh!’ So you go out and a big crowd comes and you’re like, I’m not going out for another three months.” -Robert Pattinson – New Zealand Herald, 2011

“We all fell in love with Tai. It’s funny, we were all told early on that we were just props in Tai’s world, and I think there was definitely some truth to that. She had an aura.” -Robert Pattinson (about the elephant he worked with in Water for Elephants) – New Zealand Herald, 2011

“It’s hard to walk down the street. You can’t just do it in a regular way. I have to think about my moves. I can’t just casually run out to the store to buy milk. I have to plan ahead and figure out if the paparazzi will be there.” -Robert Pattinson – New Zealand Herald, 2011

“I was a terrible model. I hated having to be skinny enough to be one of those little waif guys and I wasn’t a beefy, gym guy either. So I was stuck between the two types and I never got any jobs.” -Robert Pattinson – New Zealand Herald, 2011
