Rob's Chat With ElMundo.es

1. Your character in Water for Elephants share something with your character in Twilight, love. Jacob wants to offer a better life Reese's character even if it means sacrificing himself. What would you be willing to do for love?
It depends. It is a difficult question. Love usually flows freely, with some exceptions.

2. Hi Rob, first I'd like to welcome you to our country. I read the book "water for elephants" over the weekend, fell in love with the character your portray and the story. One of my biggest concerns is whether the script was closely adapted from the book or have there been big changes made. Best regards from a twilight-mom, fan of yours and of Edward Cullen. Hope you have a good time these days and you take away good memories of our country.
I think it's very close. There are a couple of characters in the book that are not in the script. And there are good changes in my opinion. The book tells of a rather dark circus, but the circus of the film is brighter with more light.

3. Having been presenting "Water for Elephants" in various cities around the world, where have you encountered the roudiest fans? the most affectionate? Thank you very much, I admire your work, your smile and your sympathy. Do not change :)
Certainly there are many differences. Speaking of fans in Spain, they get very excited and transmit a lot of energy.

4. "Are you ever gonna take a vacation between projects? You need to rest too ... Ana, Madrid
I hope so. But I will not be able to do in the coming months.

5. The performance I most enjoyed was that of Salvador Dali in LittleAshes. What place does it hold for you?
It was important. He's a fascinating character. For me it was the first role that I really got into.

6. Do you consider yourself an enigmatic guy? "I do think you are, you're perfect.
I used to think it was. The more people know you, the less enigmatic you are.

7. Of the Twilight series, what was the movie that you liked best to film and why?
I think the first. It was the most fun to shoot. The second also because there wasn't as much craziness yet...

8. Is it coincidence that most of his films are based on best sellers, does that give you security when accepting a script? Thanks. Ana Pastrana.
It doesn't necessarily mean that it's gonna do well because it's based on a bestseller.

9. The first thing to greet you and congratulate you on your success, I think you're a great actor and professional. In this new film, Water for Elephants Have you ever had a scene that for a moment thought I was going to be impossible to interpret? Maybe a stunt, or a scene that made you feel personally uncomfortable. Thank you very much Robert.
The final scene in the script seemed totally impossible. It took a long time to shoot.

10. What do you like doing in your spare time?
I hardly ever have any free time, but when I do, I like to do nothing. Nothing special.

11. Thanks to the Twilight Saga has achieved a level of fame that is sometimes difficult to weather, especially when your own privacy is at stake ... Knowing the consequences of your choice, if you could go back in time, would you still take the role of Edward Cullen? Vane Acebedo (evane81) Barcelona
Yes It's been a fantastic experience. I have experienced amazing things and I'm still experiencing them thanks to the saga.

12. Hello, Robert. We could hear singing. Play the piano, guitar ... Even composing songs. "Never think" and "Let Me Sign", which appear on the soundtrack to "Twilight," and "I was broken" sound great. I guess it is difficult to do both a film career and a musical career, but do you intend release a record? Are you already working on it? A greeting and good luck in everything. Raquel
I'm writing songs. But without thinking of a CD.

13. To me (17 years), my younger sister (13), my mother (45) and grandmother (67) we love your work, your interviews, your photo session, your smile, your personality, your friends and your family. Thank you very much and please keep giving us these good times. You have united us three generations. Now our question is: How do you interest people from all different ages? Thanks, bonico:)
It has a lot to do with the Twilight character. I think I've been very lucky.

14. Hi Robert! I'm a fan following you since 2005, I've seen all your movies. After being 3 years playing Edward Cullen how are you feeling about the saga ending, do you want to get away from the character? Badajoz Kisses Cintia
Before the characters stayed with me for months. Not anymore.


15. Hi Rob! Congratulations on your latest work. Does the experience of working with two Oscar-winning actors (Christoph Waltz and Reese Witherspoon), demanded a higher level of acting? Have you noticed parallels between the life as a Hollywood actor and your performance in a nomadic circus? Thank you very much and good luck with your future projects.
Yes I always try to make things as best I can. Working with great actors makes, stimulates you to be a better actor.. get more out of you.

16. Hi Robert, how do you think your life in 10 years? If you met me, you'd surely fall in love with me! Pretty lucky!
I see myself working on other areas of the profession, developing projects. I would also like to work on my music. And be happy, of course.

17. With fame I guess you've lost a lot of normal things for an anonymous person. What would you most like to regain from your previous anonymous life? Good luck in your projects and hope that people consider you a good actor and not just a teen phenomenon. :)
I would love to live in a city center and go down the street without being recognized, enjoy the anonymity that I don't have anymore. That is a luxury.

18. Just arrived in Spain a web of contacts that promotes extramarital relationships: What is your opinion on relations with married couples and infidelity within marriage? Thank you very much
It makes no sense. I think they should break up with the person before having an affair.

19. Hi Rob. How long have you wanted to make the leap to the big screen? What do you think things are and the basic characteristics of being a good actor? A hug. Ana P87.
I began to consider working professionally at age 19. The characteristics of being a good actor vary. There is no ideal cocktail. I think the important thing is to have something to offer in a movie. You have to care about the characters, but that's not all.

20. What animal did you find it easier and more difficult to work with? "And which one would you take home? I love your work, I'm looking forward to seeing "Water for Elephants" with just the trailer I know that I love it. Greetings from Sevilla.Inma.
I think the elephant was the easiest. I would take him home. It was hard to work with the dog because he fell asleep every few minutes ...

21. Do you think the Twilight fans will like how Breaking Dawn has been shot?
I hope so. It is a very different film. The truth is, I'm looking forward to seeing it.

22. Do you miss London?
Yes a lot. But I can only go back for Christmas.

23. Hello! What is the biggest lie you have written or said about you? Does it affect you personally and professionally that some of the media investigates your private life? a lot of encouragement! Your new film looks great, of course! Greetings from Carmen.
It affects you at first because it also affects your people. But now I don't care.

24. Hi Robert, With how young you are and you have become a superstar, known throughout the world and one of the most desirable men on the planet, you still have any goal or dream to fulfill? A kiss. Cristina de Madrid.
There's always dreams to fulfill. If you do not dream ... Dream on, dream on!

25. What is it that makes you decide when choosing a script and others?
That it touches me. That it grabs me when I read it. That is fundamental.

Farewell
Thank you very much for the questions. Sorry I can not still answer. I hope you go see the movie and enjoy it.

Quotes from the article - Thanks to Robstenation

"I liked the idea of this film. But I also thought that it was a fairly good career step. It doesn't alienate the audience of the image that I have. It's not a ultra-violent or ultra-depressing movie. It's a simple. old-fashioned story, which is not asking too much from the audience. I thought that was quite good because its my first big movie outside of the Twilight stuff. I'm doing a David Cronenberg movie next. Cosmopolis, with Juliette Binoche and Paul Giamatti, which is a pretty big step for me. After that I'm hoping to be producing something. I'm not entirely sure yet."

What drew him to drama, the movies. "I guess it was a variety of things... the pretty girls?" he grins. "There was a theater company around the corner from my house ( in Barnes, London). I guess it was something that I always wanted to do, but I thought that it was also kind of pretentious. I didnt' mind the kids that were acting in school, but I wanted to do it secretly outside of school. I just liked the environment. I worked backstage for about three years, and just watched everything. Then I did a couple of plays, then I got an agent from one of those plays. Then my first audition was for 'Troy' - I was auditioning to play Brad Pitt's cousin. I was like "What? I'm gonna play Brad Pitt's cousin?" That was the first time that I'd ever done anything ,so that excitement held for something like six months, then I did 'Vanity Fair' with Reese."
" After Vanity Fair, I went to South Africa (for Curse of the Ring) for three months, which for a 17-year-old was pretty great. You get an apartment, you get paid. Its fun, I thought. 'Okay, I'm an actor now.'"

Today, he's more pragmatic. "I enjoyed them then, but I don't now. If anything I wish that I could stay in a shitty hotel and be a part of everything. I'm always separated from the crew now. I have to be in some secure place and I'm not able to hang out with anyone. That is the best of part of doing movies, too, where everyone is so tight for three months so when you leave you've actually created a relationship with people. Right now, I'm doing things where I don't even know people's names. Its very frustrating but I have to figure out ways to live my life the way I want to live it. It just takes a while, and its not like there's any map or guide for this life of mine.

"Most actors I see try to encourage it (a fan base) because they think that's what's gonna give them a long lasting career. I just don't think that is the case. The more that you reveal of yourself, the more you oversaturate your image, and the less interesting that people find you. If you're just an empty shell with your face stuck on everything, its cool, but the hysteria can only last so long. Mystery lasts a lot longer yet the industry is devoted to tearing every shred of mystery left in any kind of celebrity apart, so you have to work to maintain anything. In my case, I just hide. I'm in stand-by mode until I actually do something. If I'm not working I just sit around. I try to watch a film but my attention span is so short that I'm bored after 20 minutes. I used to play this game in iPhone, 'Fall down' - its the most ridiculous thing which involves absolutely no brain effort whatsoever and I'd sit and sometimes play it for 16 hours. I get obsessed with things in short bursts. Like in the beginning of the last Twilight movie, I was working out a lot because I had to take my shirt off all the time. So I was obsessed of going to the gym all the time and cycling everywhere, but as soon as I finished. I just stopped dead. And I haven't gone to the gym since.

He deleted his personal photos. "I actually managed to delete every single photo that I took on my phone from the beginning of Twilight until now, which was my only record of my life.
How it happened? "What can I say, I was incredible bored, so I tried to update my iPhone and wiped everything out."

Scans & Translation - NEW: Rob's interview in Dagens Nyheter newspaper (Sweden)

The outtake, not scan. Thanks to Setje at Pattinsonlife - Click for bigger



Scans

In three years, British Robert Pattinson has thanks Twilight films gone from unemployed actor to idol female fan everywhere. DN Sunday´s Maria Lindholm was the only Swedish interview with the star for his new movie.

The soon to be 25-year-old Robert Pattinson sits slumped on a folding high chair in a smallroom in the luxury Fairmont Miramar in Santa Monica, Los Angeles. Although four people from the film company are in the same room – to film the interview and make sure we speak the outlined time – standing outside the door are Pattinson’s bodyguard Dean and his manager Nick Frenkel.

Oscar winners Reese Witherspoon and Christoph Walz at the same hotel, but it is obvious who is lashed upon. Even if Robert Pattinson hasn´t been a household name more than three years, and in contrast to Hollywood’s A-list names such as Johnny Depp andBrad Pitt have no long film resume or critics praise to brag about, there is no movie star that is currently followed by an equally large army of feverishly passionate, obsessivefans.

Today Robert Pattinson, dressed in gray T-shirt, rumpled blue blazer, beige baggy chinos, and boots, to give interviews for a completely different movie – “Water for Elephants”. Since the actor is known for having large music and literary interests, I have brought with me a Swedish classic in English (Pär Lagerkvist’s “The Dwarf”, required reading for young people with a modicum litteraturpretentioner).

It’s written by a Swedish Nobel Prize winner, is is anything for you?
- Yes, it seems pretty amazing! I have never heard of him? I´ll read it tonight, perfect, “he says, and lights up after carefully reading the back.

Right now plays Robert Pattinson in the last two Twilight Films, “Breaking Dawn” Part one and two, in Vancouver. He has flown down to LA in the morning.
- I had not read the Twilight books before I auditioned for the role, but after I read the first three in one weekend. I felt a bit ridiculous that even auditioned for the movie because Edward Cullen is described as extremely beautiful. It seemed rather smug to show up and even think that you have a chance, he has previously told.

The book series about the love between high school student Bella Swan and vampire Edward Cullen, 107 years old but frozen in a 17-year-old’s body, in four titles written by Stephenie Meyer has since the first release in 2005 sold over 100 million copies.

When the first book was made into a movie the books were already a success, but no one could predict how enormous the phenomenon could be. Therefore, the roles went to the acclaimed but certainly narrow indie actress Kristen Stewart and the almost completely unknown, British Robert Pattinson. His biggest previous role was as a secondary character in a Harry Potter film.

Twilight was made with one, by American standards, low cost of 37 million dollars but recorded far more than tenfold. Super success has largely been attributed to actor choice. Robert Pattinson picture-perfect face and hair seemed soon to be on every cover from teen magazines to Vanity Fair.

The two next films “New Moon ” and “Eclipse” were even bigger success stories which together recorded the absurd $ 1.5 billion. This is without counting DVD sales, all around products and advertising partnerships. Overall Twilightfranchisen one of the world’s biggest cash cows in a short time put the actors on the list of those who profit most in Hollywood. Robert Pattinson has been named one of the world’s largest makers of Time magazine (in addition to “world’s sexiest man”).

How does it feel with all the attention?
- It’s incomprehensible, “he answers.

The hope from the film company is probably to his enthusiastic fans also go and see “Water for Elephants, ” based on a book of the same name by Sara Gruen. Robert plays Jacob Jankowski, a young man in the 30′s who by chance ends up at a circus as a zoo keepers and falls in love with the circus director’s wife, artist Marlena, played by Reese Witherspoon.
- I think a lot about that time, the United States during the Depression, how things looked then. When I heard that Reese and Christophe Walz had accepted the other roles were in no hesitation, “he says.

Many Robert Pattinson-interviews are about the actors sudden super-celebrity status and how he handles it. A fairly normal middle class upbringing in a London suburb and a greater interest in books, music and movies than celebrity status makes him an unusual Hollywood star. Especially in comparison with American colleagues his age with a background as a former child star or super-educated Disney celebrities, as Zac Efron and Shia LaBeouf.

During the interview, he appears not as a polished celebrity. He listens carefully, shifting from responding thoughtfully and wisely to giggle and shyly.
- I met with director Francis first went to visit the elephant Tai, who plays a lead role in the movie, before I read the script for “Water for Elephants”. But I said that I had read the script and said yes because we had a nice time. I´d get to work with an elephant in three months. Then I read the book and liked it.

Reese Witherspoon has said that lots of fans came to the filming, some hanging there around the clock to meet you. What do they want?
- Nothing special really, just saying hello. They´d be let down. I think they appreciate more that just a glimpse of me in a car than to actually meet me.

Why do you think that?
- If you hang around a movie in 50 days to meet someone so the expectations are impossible to fulfill. If not I would levitate in front of them.

Have you ever been a fan?
- I loved the TV show “American Gladiators” when I was little. I was obsessed with a female gladiator named Jet. But then I was 8 years old.

Do you have some secret interest that you youtube the evenings?
- Live Videos of Van Morrison. And clips from “America’s funniest home videos”. I like to watch people fall down.

Although Robert Pattinson dresses in Gucci and Prada at premieres the paparazzi pictures mostly feature him in t-shirts, plaid shirts, torn jeans, sneakers and RayBanSunglasses. Despite its anonymous style of clothing he has been named “best dressed man” by several magazines.

You must have been asked by every designer and fashion houses to be their public face, but something like that, you have not accepted?
- No, I do not know why I would do it. It is not fun and I would look stupid.

Many of your colleagues do it.
- Yes, but I do not understand why? Or, yes, money of course. For girls it’s different, more women buy fashion magazines and it is more relevant to their career. But there is nothing for me.

Many fans seem to know that Robert is in LA and doing interviews, Twitter peppered by questions if anyone knows where he is, what he´s doing. But although there are a number of journalists at the hotel and the studio even carted elephant Tai to the hotel car park, no one gossiped about where we are.

Paparazzi is all that Twilight stars openly complained about since its success. The fans are no problems, but the photographers are, in their often unpleasant way and shouting insults to get a reaction that is a great picture.
- It’s hard to be cool sometimes. I hold my gaze down, while the anger grows, he says.

After our interview, Robert leaves the hotel room – the bodyguard follows him close to where they rapidly go away down the corridor and disappear, with Robert Lagerkvist book in his hand.

The manager Nick remains pacing. He says that both he and Dean are needed there, many ask and require impossible things by his protege.
- I have worked with Rob since he was 16 years before he did Harry Potter. He is a really nice guy. But he does not have a publisher so I go with him instead.

Maybe he needs support. “Water for Elephants” director Francis Lawrence said that after he met Robert for the first time he was not afraid to Twilight fame would come in the way of the new role.
- He is very attentive to everything around them. Very humble. Almost careful.

When Robert during a joint press conference more later in the day asked: “What would you rather do if you worked in a circus?”, He replies:
- I like ordinary everyday jobs, like stacking boxes. It is pure escapism. I would like to pitch the tent along with everyone else. It would be a relief to just be one of the group.
