Quotes

  • 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 programme 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: (Talking about how challenging the third task of the Triwizard Tournament on 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire' was) We were really hyped up. You are on 100% adrenaline and you're starting this in the first week and you have just met all the other actors the week before and now you have to go crazy with them. That was pretty intense, but I think it was really the most fun, because it was really physical work. []
  • 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: 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. []
  • Robert: I am now determined to do really weird parts but I think I overdo it in auditions so nobody really trusts me! []
  • Robert: (on acting) Sometimes I think, 'To hell with acting' and then I realize I could be working at a shoe shop. Acting is much cooler. []
  • 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: I got expelled from my school when I was 12; I was quite bad! []
  • 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. []
