Q: Who is your favorite Twilight character?
CS: It would probably be Edward. Edward and Alice. He’s like the perfect guy ever and [she] is pretty, sassy and cool. She’s got a lot of great one-liners.
Q: Have you thought of bridging the two interests and doing musicals?
CS: That would be really cool. It would have to be a really bomb musical.
Q: A vampire musical?
CS: A vampire musical. That would be really cool. I’d be down for something like that. It would have to be something really creepy, like Repo The Genetic Opera. I feel if it’s going to be a musical, it has to be really edgy.
Q: Can you imagine a Twilight musical?
CS: Imagine Robert [Pattinson] singing as Edward Cullen? That would be cool.

From Harry Potter to Eclipse which is your favorite Robert Pattinson role? I’m leaving out the smaller movies such as Rings of the Nibelungs and The Summer House as not many people have seen them. I’ll probably surprise no one by saying that my favorite Rob role is Tyler Hawkins. Let us know which role is your favorite in the comments.
Here’s a little refresher for you guys 😉
Cedric Diggory – Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Lots of old quotes in this interview with Jetset (France) but a few new ones too
I must confess. I didn’t like Robert Pattinson. And today I wish I had stood back. When Twilight was released and we saw that 10,000 people were camping in front of the movie theater of Los Angeles where the premiere was taking place , our first reaction as journalist was : “But why are they enjoying this saga ?”
When Pattinson had arrived a few hours later , he was so overwhelmed that he quickly disappeared. Just a few words to the media . We had thus concluded that this guy was big headed . It was a huge mistake. In fact , Pattinson is a real shy guy . Moreover , he is English , so he is a phlegmatic shy person. And when we chatted with him , for the release of Eclipse , I realized that he didn’t expect such a phenomenon that night at the Twilight premiere . Robert Pattinson is only 24 and nowadays , he is the most desired bachelor of the world. . And trust me , he still can’t cope with his fame . So he stays at home , never goes out at night and when he’s not playing this 107 years old virgin vampire, he chooses interesting roles in interesting films . But let’s focus today on Eclipse because it’s been released all around the world , I hope you will forgive me for this easy play on words . Here is “Interview with a vampire”
R.M. : Since you’re English, you must have followed the FIFA world cup . Why do you think this event is so important in the world?
R.P. : The english team is always a good one , we always have the best players and no one is supposed to play better than us , but everytime , it’s not enough to win
I don’t know why football is so important and why it gathers so many people. Maybe because it’s easy to understand this sport . The more a sport attracts people ; the more popular it’ll be , that’s why I never understood why football isn’t so popular in the USA . It’s incredible to see such a huge and rich country unable to have a good football team . I must say they improve and thay have a great football team now.
R.M. : You’re only 24 and you’re on the spotlights , is it difficult not to make mistakes?
R.P. : Yes , it’s always frustrating and people always expect me to do some mistakes to pounce on me. But I like being imperfect. We can’t always look perfect and sell such an image. It’s impossible. Anyway, I never tried to do so , it’d be dangerous . And I’ve always made a million mistakes (laughs…)
R.M. : and if you did a film which happens to be a failure ?
R.P. : as long as I’m making a film for good reasons , and not money ,it’ll be OK . If I decide to do a film just for money , there’ll be problems. Nothing can be good if you do it for money or for fame . If we choose to do a film because we think it’s a good story, then even if it’s a failure, I don’t mind. I’ve never been attracted by money or fame . My desires are quite limited, so I guess it’ll be OK!
R.M. : Your upcoming film is Bel Ami , an adaption of Maupassant’s novel . You also played Salvador Dali and then you did Twilight.These aren’t classical choices
R.P. : I never thought about what I wanted to do . And when you’re not famous , we can do independent films , more artistic films . And you have to be lucky to do it ! Then when I did Twilight, I didn’t expect that success . First because it was directed by Catherine Hardwicke who comes from the independent cinema industry. And then because Kristen Stewart was cast . She had only done independent films . I thought it’d be a simple love story with vampires and that maybe it’d become a strange remembered film . Obviously , it became this huge phenomenon and no one had predicted it. Once you’re in it , you have to surf on the success wave! I won’t complain to be in a successful film!
R.M. : You told us you don’t do films for money , but due to the success of Twilight, did you take part to the negotiations?
R.P. : In a way , I did . But it’s my manager and my agent who deal with it . My only wish is to go on working . The other aspects bother me. And I don’t think about money when I do films one after the other . It’s what I enjoy . Before Twilight, I did a tiny film “Little Ashes”. There was no budget and above all no money for me but it allowed me to live 4 months in Barcelona, just for this film. It was awesome ! Except that , my life is the same , I always do the same things . So there aren’t so many difference between the past and the present
R.M. : You play the guitar and you had a group . Is music important for you ?
R.P. : It’s very important and I think being an actor helped me for my music. In the past, I wasn’t interested in music . My sister who is a singer introduced me to this world . This indutry is much more difficult thant the film industry. You’re not really respected when you’re an actor , but when you shoot a film , in the end you’re paid . In the music industry , you’re constantly asked to improve yourself . You work again on your music and once it’s done, you’re not paid !The only reason I started doing music and trying to record albums, it’s because I’m a bit famous , and it’d perhaps help me playing with famous artists .Once you’re famous as an actor, doors are open for music . So I hope I could record some songs , but just for me .If it’s for money , it’s useless . And I consider that if you earn money no one can listen to you until it’s over , nobody can judge you either
R.M. : What can you tell us about Breaking Dawn.
R.P. :Bill Condon is going to direct it , but I haven’t read the script yet . It’ll be 2 different films . I confess I’m a bit afraid that this franchise is going to end . It’s a safety net which enables us to make some mistakes in these films beause we know there’ll always be another one .But once it’s over , it’s over ! I’m glad we shoot the films one after the other . I used to try to shoot a film in between Twilight films . For Eclipse, I had to embody Edward again in one week , and it was hard . One week preparation, it wasn’t easy and I was stressed at the beginning. So for the next installements, I could be Edward during the shooting of both films .
R.M. : Speaking about Edward, he’s a 107 years old virgin vampire ?
R.P. : (Laughs ) How old is he ? I think he’s 109 or 110…
R.M. : And he never had sexual relationship before?
R.P. : I think he had an adventure with another vampire, in Alaska, but it’s not mentionned ! (laughs) In the first book , it’s briefly alluded to but I don’t remember it well . I don’t think it’s clearly explained . Fans enjoy thinking he’s still a virgin !
“I am a danger to myself”
“Eclipse” star Robert Pattinson speaks, in this interview, about sex appeal, a move to Tokyo, and his masochistic core.
There are certainly no interview questions which Robert Pattinson hasn’t already heard. Despite that, millions of teens in the world desperately want to repeat every world that the “Twilight” vampire gives them. Reason enough for fem.com, once more, to intercept and grill him during his PR tour for his new film, “Eclipse.”
We asked the 24 year-old about his sex-symbol image, supposed dates with Paris Hilton, and his mama, and found out about things that you still don’t know.
Robert, can you quickly summarize, for all the newcomers, what happened in the first and second parts of the Twilight Saga?
“The Plot of the first part revolves around how great it feels when you are really in love for the first time. The sequel, ‘New Moon’, in contrast, shows the negative aspects of love: the fear and doubt which emerge when you’re in a committed relationship.”
“Eclipse” starts this summer and the finale, “Breaking Dawn,” is already underway. Why the rush?
“The production has one huge problem: we actors will all be older. Because of that we don’t have a lot of time and have to really hurry.”
Speaking of older: do you know then, little tricks to keep young?
“No, the opposite, I live extremely unhealthily and do—if I’m honest—only very little to stave off the aging process.”
All the same, people consider you a sex symbol and dream-man: What is sexy in your eyes?
“Little to nothing, if I really think about it. At school, for a long time, I was a real geek. Today I’d say I’m in danger of becoming masochistic. (laughs)”
Millions of girls and boys look to you. Do you see yourself as a role model?
“Not really. I mostly want to be nice to my fellow man to treat everyone in the same manner. Many actors are inclined to raise up and look down on other people. In this career, it’s really, really easy to be a complete asshole.”
You have two older sisters. Do they always bring you back to reality?
“Oh yeah. Already from the time that I was 18 they explained to me: if you hadn’t started styling your hair with gel, then you still would have always been one of these plain, boring people. (Laughs)”
Your mother reportedly believes all the crazy stories which, in your case, are rampant. How do you convince her that you don’t go out drinking every night, and haven’t had an affair with Paris Hilton?
“I’m sorry, what? I have never been on a date with Paris Hilton. Unfortunately, I use my mother frequently during interviews when no other fascinating anecdotes come to mind. Naturally she doesn’t believe a word of any of it.”
What do you think about the fact that the media dissect your private life and your relationships with a variety of female co-stars in order to promote the Twilight films?
“To start, let the magazines and tabloids sell themselves. Whether or not the films gain because of that, I don’t know. I, personally, definitely don’t help it. (Laughs)”
Hand on your heart: In what way has the Twilight Saga changed your life?
“If you find yourself in the eye of a storm, you’re not in a position to judge what goes on around you. Maybe I’ll be able to think it over in two or three years. At the moment I feel the whole thing is like a supernova: We shoot a film one after the other and the phenomenon grows and grows. And presently I stand in front of 20,000 screaming fans and haven’t the faintest idea who they’re calling for. I think it will still be a little while longer until I realize that they mean me.”
How do you evade the hordes of young girls scream at you and even want to be bitten by you?
“This mass hysteria can already sometimes be scary, but personally I have still never had anyone do something to me. Only once, during the shoot for ‘Little Ashes’, I had a stalker, who always waited for me at my apartment.”
Last summer you shot the film “Remember Me” in New York. Could you stay unaffected there?
“Not really. In New York it’s nearly impossible. Although it was only a really little project, thousands of people were standing around the set.”
Is there still one city where you can run around on the streets unrecognized?
“The only place where that happens now is Tokyo. I debated for a short time about moving there. (Laughs)”
Do you have plans in the future to do something against this abnormal state of affairs?
“I can’t really do anything against it, other than to pull myself completely out of the public eye, in order to lead a normal life. But I don’t know if that little anonymity is worth the cost. I mean, that the whole hype is over just as quickly as it came. Then it doesn’t bother me at all.”
In which situations does it seem different, how extraordinary your life appears?
“The only time that it’s really bizarre, is when I want to visit friends and need a bodyguard in order to do it.”
Do your friends like the spectacle?
“No, most of them don’t like the glamour and the whole shebang at all. It doesn’t influence them in any way. It doesn’t affect me either, by the way.”
At what place to you crave to be back the most, when you look back on your old life?
“I had this fantastic, old London apartment in Soho. You could climb onto the roof and it had a wonderful view of the city. Nearly every day I was up there, playing music, writing songs, and tried to include them.”
What do you have planned for next, once the last part, “Breaking Dawn,” is finished?
“It’s not very easy to choose what I want to do after that. Because ‘Twilight’ is that successful and brings in so much money, you feel as though you’re paralyzed. It exists the fear, one could lose if he takes the wrong step. In the event that the next film is a flop, everyone will say: See, he was only a one-hit-wonder. The impression is, therefore, huge.”
Since a lot have seen Eclipse by now and we’re interested in your opinion we created this post so you can comment. Since some still have to wait to see it we wanna warn for spoilers in the comments.
