New gorgeous outtakes from Kristen's Dazed & Confused Shoot! very artistic:) view original shoot @source








Rob, you could be crowned the most famous actor in the world right now. How do you deal with this strangeness?
There are good and bad days. I often wish I wouldn’t react in such panic. But I believe I can separate jobs from private life very well. So far my ego still hasn’t been injured!Currently, it is surely not simple to be Robert Pattinson. Can you believe what all has happened in the past two years?
Honestly, I have always said that it’s a subjective glimpse of the whole. For me everything feels the same as before, but there are a few aspects of my life that are completely different. I would just like to not admit that it has taken over my entire life. For myself, in my head, it’s the same as it was in the old days; I also have the exact same friends.You are 24 and, as it is, can’t be anywhere without bodyguards at the door. Doesn’t it stink to you that you can’t lead a normal life?
Sometimes. But then I remember how my normal life was: boring.
Where do you live now, in London or in L.A.? Do you perhaps have a home?
No, I don’t. My “apartment” consists of three suitcases, out of which I live. Inside of them is everything that I need.Isn’t that a very lonely life?
I work constantly, so I am always surrounded by people who ask me questions or give me instructions. That’s why I enjoy it if I can do something for myself. I don’t have any problems with having a two-month long period with no one to speak to.How do you sympathize with Edward in respect to women? Is he the knight in shining armor about whom we apparently all still dream?
I hear often that this story is too old-fashioned and encourages women to take on subservient roles. I don’t think that at all! Even when Bella sometimes has moments of helplessness, she is still only a fictional character. What are we coming to, if every fictional film character is automatically a role model for our society!“Twilight” represents very old-fashioned values. Bella and Edward first go to bed with each other after their marriage. Are you also against sex before marriage?
I believe rather, that everyone has sex before marriage (laughs)—then and now. I also don’t believe that girls ‘must respect themselves’ or that boys only want ‘the one’. If you behave like a gentleman, because chastity really suits you—okay. But if you take it for the newest fad in the dating world, then it’s rather off the mark.You said once, you find that the saga, without sex, is sexy…
Yeah, I think so. Every one of us knows the time, before something happens between a couple, when you’re still totally insecure: Does the other person like me or not? That is definitely the riskiest time! This moment can last an eternity. To this sweet uncertainty also comes anxiety, especially if it’s the first time for both people. I believe this worry stirs up desire. And in this case, the period of desire lasts almost four books.
You are currently shooting “Water for Elephants” with the Austrian Christoph Waltz. How are you getting along with him?
Christoph is stunning, an insanely nice guy. He is not only a ridiculously good actor, he is also really funny, helpful, and a good colleague. I like his work ethic. I mean, the guy has won an Oscar—and despite that he is receptive, open-minded, and not the least bit snooty. And Reese Witherspoon is the same. It may be the nicest cast that I have worked with yet—a really great experience.You seem to only work. What would the perfect day look like for you?
Recently I stood in the desert, far outside of L. A., and watched the sun set on a circus tent from 1930. Everywhere stood animals: elephants, tigers that should be loaded into a steam train. 300 extras in costumes raced around, the modern world had disappeared totally. Although that was totally fake, it still happened directly before my eyes! That was my perfect day. I would be gladly experience that every day. It happens continually to me: It calls itself work. That is wonderful and more than enough.



Stumbled on this gorgeous old shoot of Kristen. It makes you wonder what look would they choose for a transformed Bella!
So, this vampire thing runs in the family. We hear your mum’s a fan…
Are you kidding me? She loves vampires. She was a history major at school and really got into Vlad The Impaler, the man behind the myth. But yeah, she loves vampires and pirates. She’s into really cool stuff.
Was it difficult being an actress when you were still at school?
I was happy to leave school at 14 and study on set, because it took a load of work off my shoulders. The fame and the pressure was taken off because they had been failing me in school. I was never the type of girl to walk around talking about being an actress, so I didn’t get a whole lot of sh*t until someone found out. I was playing it down, but I definitely got, ‘Oh, she’s such a bitch!’ I was like, ‘You’ve never spoken to me, but you think I’m a bitch? Great.’
So you didn’t feel as though you missed out, socially?
I so haven’t missed out. I’ve met hundreds of people. It’s like a hierarchy at school and I was really glad not to be a part of that. It’s weird, though, because once you’re done with school you realise it’s just a smaller version of life. That said, I am still glad I didn’t go.
Is it true you get on better with men than women?
I just don’t know many girls my age. When I was at school I couldn’t relate to kids my own age. They were mean. You can’t generalize about people because I’m sure some of those kids were brave, but they don’t give you any chance.
Your parents work in show business (mum Jules Mann-Stewart is a script writer, and dad, John Stewart a producer), so were you destined to do this?
I don’t know. It was very arbitrary, the decision of becoming an actor. I was so young. I was nine when I first started auditioning for movies, so it was like, ‘Do you want to be an actor?’ I just thought I might be good at it. I grew up on a movie set and I thought ‘Yeah, I could do that better than most people,’ I guess.
But you don’t seem to like being a celebrity, or being interviewed…
I used to hate the interview process, but I’m getting better at it, now I’m more comfortable with myself. And just because I’m an actor, I don’t see why I should talk about my personal life. I had media training when I started Twilight, but I’d already been doing this for eight years, so I was like ‘Do you think you are going to wrap up all my insecurities and throw them out the window? Do you think you are going to put sound bites in my mouth? Not going to happen.’
Are there things you’d love to do but can’t now?
Sometimes I have friends who say, ‘Hey, want to come to a restaurant today?’ I’m like, ‘Do you want to go to someone’s house? It would be so much more fun.’ So it would be nice to be able go out a bit more, not even out to a club, just out in public. It is weird never to be just some girl.







PM: In Paris, last November you were really scared by the craziness. How do you feel today Robert Pattinson?
Rob: I feel better. I’m starting to get used to Hollywood. It all seems just as crazy to me, but I have more control over myself. I know I have to watch what I’m going to tell you for example… And I’ll never get used to people who spend their lives following me around or to the people who use my name to make money. But I’ve learned to speak about the movie, my character and my career.
PM: In this third installment your character refuses to sleep with Bella and only thinks about one thing: getting married. It’s an ancient couple concept don’t you think?
Rob: This vision is a bit archaic but I assume it. The way I see it, Edward is obsessed that he isn’t human. He would like to not be a vampire. Therefore he takes advantage of every little detail that can bring him closer to “normality”. What’s better than a marriage to feel like everyone else? In all classic vampire stories, they think of sleeping with their prey and are ready to kill for blood. Edward, is searching for simple love, to not be different anymore. But he knows that’s impossible, that he’s damned to eternal life. This is what also causes this profound sadness in him.
PM: Does Edward represent purity?
Rob: He’s as pure as possible! But a vampire lives by its instinct, which pushed him each day to find blood to feed and that’s not the purest act in the word. Edward is on a spiritual quest. Love seems to be his religion even though he know he’ll never go to heaven.
PM: Did you speak about your character with Stephenie Meyer, the author of the saga?
Rob: Sometimes. She was present on the set of the third installment without being too involved. As long as we haven’t started shooting a scene, I listen to everything people say on my character. Once the camera starts rolling however, only the Director speaks to me. I don’t need to have various opinion all the time, or to hear comments.
PM: Are you impatient to be done with Twilight?
Rob: Not really. A saga such as this one allows me to be on screen often without boring people. If I did one movie after the other I think people would turn away from me. As Twilight has become an important financial asset, preproduction is quite fast. It allows me to do other projects between shooting 2 movies. Then, the wait is incredible, fans are impatient to see the next “Twilight” They really don’t care about the “new Robert Pattinson”!
PM: Is Edward more popular than Robert?
Rob: You just have to look at the amount of people who went to see Twilight and the amount of people who went to see Remember Me (a film in which he played that came out in April)! It made 70 Million at the box office whereas Twilight made 1 billion! But for Remember Me it’s really good.
PM: Why did you want to become an actor?
Rob: I enrolled in theater because my dad pushed me too. He thought it would help me overcome my shyness. But it’s mostly when I realized that all these pretty girls went to these course that I became more attentive. Before that I hated theatre.
PM: Were you more interested in cinema?
Rob: I never dreamed of being an actor. It was a chain effect. But I always loved movies. This may seem arrogant but I think I have good taste in terms of Directors and movies in general.
PM: What kind of movies did you love?
Rob: American movies from the end of the 60s and the beginning of the 70s and French movies from “La Nouvelle Vague”. For a long time I was obsessed with Godard’s movies. I would dream of learning French to be able to film with him. “Prénom Carmen” is by far the most beautiful love story I’ve seen in movies. When I filmed the first Twilight I had that movie in my head constantly.
PM: How do you imagine the rest of your career?
Rob: I’ve reached a high level of fame at an incredible speed. All the movies by authors, the independent movies that I dream to make will surely suffer from it. But it could also help them. I don’t know yet. If Godard hired a French teen idol to be the star of his movie wouldn’t it turn out to be nothing much? I feel like I have the future in front of me but I also know that I have to make the proper decision to get what I want.
PM: Do you discuss your future with Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart?
Rob: We have different ideas on the way we want our careers to evolve. It’s very bizarre. Taylor dreams of doing big blockbusters, in action movies. Kristen dreams of doing small independent movies that have trouble getting released as for myself I’m a mix of both.
PM: Your sister is in music. Is she jealous of your success?
Rob: No, she’s been writing songs for years, it’s different. My family, my loved ones still live in the UK. They only see from afar this general craziness, they read it in the press. I don’t think I’ve changed because of the success. My parents came to LA for the first time a few weeks ago. We were constantly followed by paparazzi. They were a bit overcome by everything. But the fact that I’m British helps to not sink into the Hollywood turmoil. Even though you’ll read a lot of things about me I’m actually quite normal. And to be honest I’m seriously thinking of doing music with my sister. It’s a project that should be done before the end of the year.
PM: Did you follow the election in the UK?
Rob: Absolutely! I voted and I think that this coalition can be a plus for this country. Nick Clegg and David Cameron look sincere and honest, full of hope. This duo has to work as well together as Kristen and I do.
