Another new Interview with Robert Pattinson, this time with the Orlando Sentinel where amongst other things he talks about growing up while shooting "Twilight".
Yeap he's a Maaaaaaaaaaan now!
From the Orlando Sentinel
Three years and three films into “The Twilight Saga,” Robert Pattinson can see the finish line for the role that made him famous.
With the release of “Breaking Dawn — Part 1,” he knows that the whirlwind surrounding him and his cast mates is about to peak. then subside. He says he’s relishing the end, and he’s taking it all in: the attention, the career boost and the way his peers have coped with the sudden fame of a film series whose fans are nothing if not fanatical.
“I am constantly amazed that no one has gone totally crazy,” he says, chuckling. “Everybody has their own way of coping. We’re all trying to be artists at the same time this whole thing is going on around us.”
The 25-year-old British actor has worked with Oscar winners Reese Witherspoon and Christoph Waltz (“Water for Elephants”)and a former James Bond (Pierce Brosnan (“Remember Me”). But he says his contemporaries – his “Twilight” cast mates — “have taught me the most. They’ve grown up in the eye of the storm. I learn from how they’ve dealt with fame. For me, that’s obviously the most overwhelming … thing I’ve had to deal with. You learn a lot about the world and a lot about people when you and they go through something like this.”
That “something like this” has been in evidence since before the first film opened. Pattinson was an all-but-unknown 21-year-old, best known for a glorified cameo as Cedric Diggory in “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix” when he landed the role that would change his life the instant he was cast.

Pattinson vs. Radcliffe--Who'll have the better "later" career?
Which among the two will have staying power in the movies? Will either of them be able to transcend those Teen Vogue/People cover stories and carve out a corner of permanent movie stardom? Radcliffe has ventured onto the stage, tried a non-Potter movie, found a little acclaim beyond the Hogwarts door. Pattinson, though, may have a much rougher time of it.
How to Be is one of those movies that's like your bete noir on the basketball court -- that one team that exposes every single one of your weaknesses. The film has him playing a London lad (David Mamet's Rebbecca Pidgeon plays his mom, seemingly an American) who aspires to be a poet, a singer-songwriter. He performs these morose and only slightly witty ditties that sound like Phoebe from Friends' outtakes. He wants to get it together, or failing that, find somebody to blame. When he stumbles across a Canadian self-help guru, he resolves to spend some inheritance from an uncle and bring the guy (Powell Jones, not remotely funny enough) over as his live-in life coach.
