Expanded Q & A with Rob Pattinson

There is a LONG Q & A here. Thanks to Betsy for the links she sends me all the time :-) You rock girly!

Here is a bit of it.

Q: Going back to the probably enormous girl fan base that you will gain after this movie: I mean, you’ve really exploded on the scene lately. You’re on Perez Hilton probably at least once a week. How are you dealing with dating in Hollywood? Do you avoid it? Are you seeing anyone, for those teenybopper girls out there to know?
A: I’m not dating anyone. But I don’t know. I mean, I theoretically don’t avoid it. But it’s weird. … I’ve been going to the same places every time I go to L.A., because they’re the only places I know. And now everybody kind of knows me in those places. So it’s like - I don’t know. Just knowing that people will talk about stuff, and - you know. It’s very uncomfortable.

And also, if you try and chat people up, everyone’s like, “You’re just an actor. You probably go around sleeping with everybody.” So it kind of has the converse effect of what you would have thought.

Q: Are you not moving to Los Angeles? Are you interested in making that leap?
A: I think there’s no reason to. I mean, and also, London’s in my heart. I need it. And I haven’t been there for a very long time.

Q: So, are you particularly prepared for the teenage female frenzy, which apparently seems to be in the cards that is going to surround this movie, but you in particular?
A: I don’t know. I mean, I don’t know why it still shocks me. I mean, I’ve been going for the last three weeks, just going to different cities all around the world, just to get to these planned mobbing, where everybody just screams and screams and screams.
But every single time, I get so nervous, and kind of cold sweats, and everything. So I doubt that I am ready.

Q: So that’s how you react to the screams and the …
A: Every single time. I started crying in Italy. Like, completely involuntarily.

Q: Really?
A: Yeah. Like, do you know when you have the wrong reaction to something? It was really embarrassing. I didn’t even know I was. Kristen, I think, turned around to me. And she’s like, “Are you crying?” I just found out there’s a whole pile of stuff. So. Yeah. I started crying when people are screaming at me. I really didn’t think that would happen. So.
