Time Magazine Q&A plus Story
Seemingly overnight, Robert Pattinson went from playing Voldemort's roadkill in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire to being the immortal half of one of the hottest screen couples of all time. He spoke with TIME about how he landed the role of Twilight's Byronic vampire Edward Cullen, what it's like to be a generational crush and how to walk unmolested along the streets of Vancouver.
TIME: You took on an edgy vampire movie and it's become this. Did you know what you were signing up for?
Robert Pattinson: I had no idea it was going to be like this. I really had no idea until... I guess I still don't. The time that it hit me really was when we were shooting in Italy and the emotional reaction — it wasn't just screaming. It was like people were so intently listening and watching. After every take there was polite applause. And it wasn't hysteria. It was literally devotion to the characters. It was amazing. I haven't felt that in any other situation.
Casting Edward was crucial to the franchise. What did Catherine Hardwicke see in you?
I don't know. I was a little intimidated by Kristen in my audition. So I played it like a guy who is beating himself up a lot about everything. I don't think anyone else did it like that. I think they concentrated on the confidence aspect. If you read the book, you know he's the perfect man, ideal man. If you're a guy you have certain ideals about what you think is attractive. And that's why I didn't go into it for ages, because I thought I'd end up being silly in the audition. I'd be posing. I guess I tried to ignore every aspect of the confident hero of the story. And I played the extreme opposite. It didn't end up being that in the film.
If they'd cast the other guy for Edward, would the franchise have been as successful as it is today?
I honestly don't know. No matter how famous I get as an individual, it's always evened — or even surpassed — by the fame of Edward Cullen. That's got to mean something. I don't mind that. That's just the way it is.
Why are America and the world so mental about it?
I was just in Japan, but when I first went there in February, the people who went to the fan events there were mainly people who went to American schools. This time it was entirely Japanese the audience. No one could really speak English, but they reacted in the same way as they have around the world. Even the distributor was saying, Japanese audiences don't react like this. And they were stunned by the whole thing.
There must be this weird, primal thing in people that they react to. There are so many love stories that come out. So many vampire stories that come out. Even the load of vampire stories coming out now have the exact same story line. This doesn't have the same reaction. I think it's all about being part of a club. People used to say it was a guilty pleasure. But I don't even think it is that anymore. I think people genuinely appreciate that they are part of something.
How can it continue at this level?
I have no idea. It kind of feeds on itself by the looks of things. It seems to have got from the beginning of this year to now. I was just talking to the head of the studio who said they are only 25 percent through the campaign for New Moon. And the tracking on the movie is ridiculous. Even random celebrities are asked, What do you think of Twilight? It's insane. I remember saying at Comic-con last year that I didn't know where it could go from there. I didn't know how much bigger it could get. I guess this time they are getting guys to watch it. Guys were the only other place left to go
They shoot the movies very quickly for a lot of reasons — momentum for one, but also because vampires don't age. Does that throw pressure on you to, well, look exactly the same?
I don't really think about that. I think I definitely look older in this one. But then I look younger in the third one, which is just weird.
A whole generation will remember you as Edward. You're a generational crush. Is that hard to live up to or difficult to accept?
There's no living up to it. I think the major fear is just fighting too hard against it. Most people who have a downfall from a like situation is when they do try to fight, and fight and fight: I'm not this teeny bopper person, blah, blah, blah. Even if a lot of people see me and the franchise as like that, I never have, at any point. But I don't feel the need to fight against it. I've never tried to pander to any kind of audience. I've tried to make the films as intelligent and uncheesy as you could. And I've tried to make them the best they can be. I've never thought about it any other way. So I hope that pays off.
A lot of celebs use disguises to escape their bubble. What's been your worst?
In Vancouver, shooting New Moon, I tried something. They have this thought that no one there wears hoods except for problem people. It's the only city in the world where hoods are not fashionable. It's like if you're wearing a hood you're going to mug people. So it's a boring disguise, but it worked when I wore a hood. And then I'd sort of spit on the ground a little bit and do a little bit of shaking around as you're walking. Everyone moved around to the other side of the street.
Can you go out of the bubble?
You can go out. The only difficulty is when there are people waiting outside the exits where you are going. You will get followed. It's the following that's the worst part. If it's just getting a photo taken outside the exit, that would be OK. But it's the following that takes away your freedom.

Rob's Interview with Film.com
New Moon, the second chapter of The Twilight Saga, begins with every teen girl's favorite vampire, Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), breaking his beloved Bella's heart, sending her on a downward spiral she only narrowly survives.

I sat down with Pattinson recently to discuss the movie, sudden fame, and why he relates so well to Edward.
Cole Haddon: In New Moon, Edward Cullen, after having personally exiled himself from Bella's life, spends most of the story ... well, not in it. Except for visions Bella (Kristen Stewart) has, that is. Did that leave you feeling disconnected from your cast mates at all?
Robert Pattinson: Those scenes, [the visions], were the hardest scenes. They weren't really at the time, but after I saw the first cut of the movie, [the filmmakers] changed them quite a bit in the editing room and with ADR. It's not [technically] Edward [either]. It's a manifestation of Bella's loneliness and desperation. As for being alone, I've always felt a little bit aloof as the character, throughout the whole series. I think that's how he is, so I didn't feel any different.

It's a manifestation of Bella's loneliness and desperation. As for being alone, I've always felt a little bit aloof as the character, throughout the whole series. I think that's how he is, so I didn't feel any different.
RP: I was always very worried about that. Even before we started shooting, people were asking questions and saying, "Oh, are you worried that people will think there's not enough Edward in it?" But he's not in the book. I was [more] worried that it was just going to be random scenes. There was talk, at the beginning, of showing his backstory in South America, going around moping [after his breakup with Bella]. That would have been terrifying for me, and I think it would have been catastrophic for the film as well. I fought as far as I could to keep it as limited as possible, mainly because it just doesn't happen in the book. But then, at the same time, it's scary just to do a voice-over, because it could end up being very cheesy.
CH: How did you fight for that?
RP: I just talked to [director] Chris [Weitz]. He wasn't ever going to just do things for the sake of doing them. He was always on the side of the story. Even since it's been edited, there were loads and loads of the apparition sequences cut out. A lot of them Chris cut out without me saying. But, when I was doing ADR, I was saying, "It will be more interesting and mystical if you cut out more of these shots. It becomes more eerie and more realistic, the less of these visions you have." Just having head-on shots makes it something other than a vision. It becomes a superimposed image, which is not interesting.
CH: Talk about the past year or so of your life. The sudden celebrity. The paparazzi. How are you dealing with things, and do you find yourself more comfortable with it all now?
RP: I guess it's inevitable that you become more comfortable. You still fight against some things. There's nothing really scary about the franchise itself. I like all the people I work with. I generally have very few disagreements about the script or anything while we're doing it, especially on New Moon. It just seemed so relaxed and easy. I've been on three different sets since January 14. I've had, like, three days off. I'm going to be on set all next year as well. I don't know what doing errands and things is really like because I haven't had a sustained period of time where I've been off. I don't know how it's really changed. I still feel like I'm pretty much exactly the same, which is maybe not a good thing.
CH: I think it's fair to say the franchise has made you a bankable leading man. How has that changed your career, and where do you want to be in five years?
RP: I don't know. I've only done one movie outside of the series, which was Remember Me. That's going to be out sometime next year. But, even that I did with the same studio. I'm still a little bit blind as to what my actual economic viability is, outside of the series, but it's definitely different. You get offered stuff that you never would have dreamed of getting offered before, but that's scary as well because you don't have to audition for anything. You're just like, "I don't want to do a movie just because it gets made." It's a scary situation to be in, in a lot of ways. You have to question yourself a lot more. Before Twilight, I did any movie that I got and tried to make the best of it afterwards. Now, you're expected to come into the movie and provide not only economic viability, but a performance as well. People are like, "You can't just mess around. We're employing you to be a star and an actor." It's difficult, and it's scary.
CH: But isn't that what everyone dreams about when they start out in the movie business?
RP: You do. When you haven't gotten a big movie behind you and you're not bankable, everyone is like, "He's not bankable enough," so you can't get the roles that you want to get. And then, when you do, especially with a movie like this where there's a perceived specific audience, people start thinking, "Oh, you need to get in with this audience. You need to do this or that. You need to look a certain way." There are some limitations to it. Whereas when no one is watching your movies and you get a part, you can do whatever the hell you want. That's just the way it is. So, there are good and bad points, either way.
CH: Let's get back to New Moon. What was it like watching Taylor Lautner transform his body so dramatically for the role of Jacob?
RP: I didn't see Taylor until just a little bit before we started shooting, so when he came back, I had the same reaction as everybody else. I was like, "Now I have to go to the gym."
CH: And what was it like inviting him into the dynamic you share with Kristen on-screen? Developing that romantic triangle?
RP: It was weird because I hardly did any scenes with Taylor. We just did the scenes at the beginning, and the scenes at the end, and he had his entire storyline develop without me being around, which is interesting because I had no idea where his performance was going. It wasn't really a competition or anything. It was independent. Whereas in Eclipse, [which we've already shot], we did scenes together, all the time, with Bella. It really shows the dynamic in [the next] film.
CH: And what was it like to shoot the breakup scene between Edward and Bella? Fans had a lot of expectations.
RP: There's something weird about it. One of the main things I felt doing that, and what really helped, was people's anticipation of the movie, and the fans of the series' idea about what Bella and Edward's relationship is and what it represents to them. It's some kind of ideal for a relationship. And so, just playing a scene where you're breaking up the ideal relationship, I felt a lot of the weight behind that. Also, it took away a fear of melodrama. It felt seismic, even when we were doing it. It was very much like the stepping out into the sunlight scene, at the end. You could really feel the audience watching, as you're doing it. It was a strange one to do.
CH: You've shot three movies in the series so far, which is a lot of time to spend with a character. What personality traits do you share with Edward?
RP: I guess stubbornness, in some ways, about some things. He's pretty self-righteous. I get quite obsessive about things, and possessive as well.
CH: With what?
RP: I have very, very specific ideas about how I want to do my work and how I want to be perceived, to the point of ridiculousness sometimes. I don't listen to anyone else. That's why I don't have a publicist or anything. I can't stand it if someone is trying to tell me to do something, which is maybe a mistake sometimes. I like being meticulous, and it's quite difficult, as an actor, to have that much control. The good thing about the Twilight series is that it does give you a lot more control over little things, which I want to have. I'm a control freak about it.
CH: Do you appreciate Edward more with each movie?
RP: When I read New Moon, it gave me ideas about how to play him in the first film. It's the one I connected to the most, and the one that humanized Edward for me the most, as well. In the first one, he still does remain, from beginning to end, an idealistic character. But, in the second one, he makes a mistake that's acknowledged by everybody, including himself. Also, he is totally undermined by more powerful creatures, and he's undermined emotionally by people as well. That's what humanized it. Since I read that book, I always liked him as a character, and I've tried to play that same feeling throughout the films. He's the hero of the story that just refuses to accept that he's the hero, and I think that's kind of admirable.

LOS ANGELES — A year ago at this time, people were finally comprehending the scope of "Twilight" mania. Rob and Kristen were treated like rock stars, thousands of fans were eager to share their "little secret" with the world, and a tiny Taylor Lautner enthusiastically posed with fans, simply hoping they'd want him back for more.
On Monday evening (November 16), "New Moon" mania took over at the film's red-carpet premiere. And like Taylor's presence in the sequel, it's bigger, better and far more muscular.
"It's amazing," marveled the 17-year-old Lautner, who was famously nearly replaced as Jacob Black last winter but packed on 30 pounds of muscle to keep the role. "We all know the premiere for 'Twilight' was insane, but this is multiplied by 10. I did not expect this at all!"
With thousands of Twilighters — many of whom began lining up last week — packing the sidewalks, the shrieks roared like airplanes buzzing the Los Angeles neighborhood of Westwood. Everyone from 50 Cent to Kevin Smith to Death Cab for Cutie and Emma Roberts came out to get an early glimpse at one of the year's most anticipated films. Also crowding the carpet was an epic cast now containing several dozen regulars when you factor in all the Cullens, Volturi, wolf pack, humans and other factions. But in the eyes of Kristen Stewart, the evening was really a celebration of the actor fans affectionately call "Taycob."
"I'm so proud of that kid," Stewart said of Lautner. "Everybody thinks we have a sister/ little brother dynamic going on, and I definitely fought for him. I was totally on his side the entire time. But he's taught me more than I've ever been able to bestow on him. I think he's the most centered of everybody here. And I think the only reason he was able to put on that weight is because he had the confidence to know what he was doing. But it wasn't about the weight; it was about knowing we had the right guy."
As fans leaned over barricades wearing "Nutz for Lutz" T-shirts and waving "Bite Me, Edward" signs, there was little doubt that in the eyes of these fans, all the actors are just right — particularly Mr. Robert Pattinson, who once again received a reception like all the Beatles rolled into one wild-haired British heartthrob.
"It's gotten bigger," he grinned, looking around at the fans. "I think so. Especially as we travel all over the entire world. We had 20,000 people in Munich yesterday. It's kind of incredible, to have done all these cities in a week, and it's still just as intense everywhere."
On Monday, the actors were able to walk the carpet (alongside Stephenie Meyer herself, making a rare public appearance) and see their intensity in the movies matched once again by the fans. And for them, the cheers were as sweet as blood on the tip of a vampire's tongue.
"This year is probably double in size," observed Kellan Lutz, comparing the premiere to the one from a year ago. "For us, as actors, [seeing this] is a weight off our shoulders. It's a lot of fun, and this year I'm not so nervous."
"My goodness, I just pulled up, and I got so nervous again," Ashley Greene laughed. "People always ask if I'm used to it, but there's no way to get used to it, because they just keep getting more and more exciting. [The fans] are very passionate, and it keeps getting bigger. It's incredible."
As they waved goodbye to the fans and headed inside to watch Bella and Jacob get close on the big screen, Kristen and Taylor were similarly in awe.
"I really think Bella is awesome, and I get to play her," smiled Stewart, counting herself lucky. "And I get to share that with everyone here. And I'll never get that experience again, no matter what kind of movies I want to make."
"We put a lot of hard work into this film," Lautner said of "New Moon." "I'm dying for it to come out."
