Nothing new in the interview except these.
Although you can make the comparison to the Harry Potter films in terms of frenzied excitement, Robert Pattinson has much more of a rock star persona than Daniel Radcliffe ever did.
Can we talk about the baseball scene real quick, because we heard that you didn't really know how to play? Did they teach you to play baseball?
PATTINSON: Absolutely... I'm terrible at baseball, yeah. And Catherine wanted me so desperately to be like a pro baseball player for some reason. And I was just like, "Why? He's not a pro baseball player, he's a vampire. Why would he be a pro baseball player?" [laughs] And I just didn't understand it. So I kept fighting everyone the whole time and I was like, "He can be crap. He doesn't even need to be able to play. He doesn't need to know the rules, doesn't even need a bat." I don't know.
So everybody hated it and I kept arguing and arguing it. And everybody found it really annoying, because I wouldn't do my 'ready' position. Then, I don't know... I had a coach teach me how to do a ready position and I was just like, "It's a squat. Stop calling it a ready position." So every time Catherine had a problem with blocking at any point during the rest of the shoot, I'd be like, "I really think doing a ready position would help this scene. I'm in the corner doing the ready position." Yeah, I'm terrible at baseball.

He truly cracks me up with the "ready position" joke.
Do you guys no what he means when he says "blocking"? I have no idea what he means by that, and he's said it a couple of times. Is it some kind of acting lingo?
Sorry Lyla not a clue!!?? I didn't even know what the ready position was until Rob described it LOL
Lyla, I think blocking out a scene is standing in the right places and going through the steps on the set, for a particular scene.
Kind of mapping out the scene and where they will be standing or moving to.
Kate - I know, he's too funny! I'm glad I'm not the only one who has no idea what he's talking about there. I mean, obviously I understand the joke without knowing what "blocking" is, but hearing him say it a few times made me curious.
Ellie - THANK YOU! That makes a lot of sense.
