New Interview on GoodPradde.com Part 1

I just love this picture...makes me think 'good praddle'.

This interview was done over the summer.
Twilight has been driving everybody bonkers for a while, and the advent of the current film adaptation is only adding to the frenzy. Its main characters, teenagers both of them, vampire Edward Cullen and human Bella Swan, have captured the hearts of millions and readers. I have never read these books, but the person who has come closest to persuading me to do so is actor Robert Pattinson, who portrays Edward in the soon-to-be-released film.
Hi!How’re you doing?
I’m good; how are you?
I’m all right, thank you.How is L.A.?
[laughs] It’s all right. It’s hot.Out of curiosity—I know you were born and raised in London—when did you move out to L.A.?Well, I haven’t really moved here. I’m just kind of… I’m essentially here for Twilight-related stuff, like promotion. But I’m doing in a movie in a few weeks, so I just thought I might as well stay out here. I’ve been here for about three months.
Wow. Well, yeah, Twilight’s been getting a lot of publicity. How did you get involved with it?
The normal way, I guess. I was out in L.A., and it was just through an audition. And then I came out for two weeks for a whole bunch of meetings—and I’d never heard of it before or anything. It came completely unexpectedly.
And you’d never read the books before you became involved with the movie, so when did you realize that it was this huge phenomenon?
I guess only during shooting—about halfway through shooting the movie. I think everyone who was involved in it only realized it then. [laughs] I don’t really think even the production company knew how big it was going to become. It’s interesting, but as we were shooting it sort of got bigger and bigger and bigger, and more and more people started turning up to the set every day. By the end there were all these people coming out to the set who’d managed to find out where it was, which a was very strange experience.
The relationship between the characters is kind of like Edward goes, “Every day, I really want to kill you, you don’t understand,” and Bella goes, “I don’t care, I love you!” Which is really kind of sick, when you think about it.
Well, I don’t know if it’s sick, really; I guess it’s kind of—well, the whole thing is that you can only have that kind of love story when you’re young and you’re sort of overcome by your emotions and it seems so life-or-death. I think that’s kind of what it is. There’s a lot of the metaphorical aspect as well; I mean, the entire story is kind of a metaphor. [laughs] But, yeah, I guess that’s what makes the story different, just the fact that it is—when you feel like it’s a life-or-death situation in a relationship and a new relationship and you’re in love with someone for the first time, well, this is just the literal interpretation of that. Like— [laughs] “This is actually causing both of us to be in grave danger just by being together.”

Go here for the rest...its kinda long to post the whole interview.
