Robert Pattinson talks to Washington Post about Breaking Dawn Part Two

Rob sat down with Bill Condon and Kristen Stewart to talk Breaking Dawn Part Two a couple weeks ago during the LA press junket. From Washington Post:

LOS ANGELES — Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson sit side by side on a sofa at the Four Seasons hotel, discussing the end of the five-film project that made them famous and brought them together. “Twilight” rocketed both to superstardom, and their real-life romance only propelled them further. With Friday’s release of the final film in the franchise, “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 2,” the young actors bid farewell to the worldwide fantasy sensation, but not to the tabloid attention they garner wherever they go. Dedicated Twi-Hards were devastated when Stewart admitted in July to cheating on Pattinson in a “momentary indiscretion” with her married “Snow White and the Huntsman” director. Bella and Edward, er, Stewart and Pattinson briefly split, which not only threatened to jeopardize marketing for the final “Twilight” film, but unraveled the real-life element of the vampire love story. Now reunited, the pair finish each other’s sentences during a recent interview as they talk about how much their lives have changed since the first “Twilight” movie was released in 2008. 

“After the first one, I mean, it’s a different world you’re living in,” says Pattinson, 26.
“Also, we’re at that stage of life when things are shifting anyway,” adds Stewart, 22, who was just 17 when she first played Bella Swan. Global fame makes growing up challenging, they say, acknowledging they’ve become more insular. 

“It’s a really weird thing because you kind of have to hide,” Pattinson says, “and hiding really destroys the thing which, for one thing...” 

Stewart interjects: “That fuels you as an actor.” 

“Yeah. It destroys your fuel,” he continues, “and also it destroys — you get to the point where you start to lose interest in things because you spend so much time...” 

“Guarding,” Stewart says. 

“Yeah, and that’s your world,” Pattinson says. “Your world gets smaller. There’s a massive contraction. And the weirdest thing is the more you contract it, the more the (public) interest goes up. It’s so crazy. There’s no way around it. You’re either on a 24-7 reality-TV show, or people think you should be.”

"It Is Quite Exciting To Be Thinking From Now On, You’re Not Going To Go Back To A Twilight Movie" - Robert Pattinson



The Washington Post did a phone interview with Rob recently where he spoke about (of course) the end of Twilight, what's coming up next for him and LOTS more.
It's a good read, get comfy.......

I remember being at Comic-Con in 2008, prior to the release of the first movie, and thinking that you and Kristen Stewart seemed particularly shellshocked by the massive fan response. Do you remember what was going on in your mind then?

Pattinson: Yeah, I mean, it’s kind of exciting, but it just seems so separate. It’s always seemed so separate — that whole part of it — from doing the actual movies. That’s never changed for me. It’s a totally independent part of the job. You always get asked more about that aspect of it than anything else, you know, all the screaming and stuff. And I’ve never had a single lucid, analytical thought about it. It still just seems like screaming to me.

Why do you think people tend to ask more questions about that aspect of “Twilight”? Just because it seems so insane?

Pattinson: Yeah, I mean, it is the weirdest thing. There’s plenty of people who do movies and even big movies and stuff, but it’s weird to have that reaction for a series ... but I don’t know why it happens.

So you haven’t gotten more used to than you were three or four years ago?

Pattinson: You kind of get used to it a little bit but you still get a good energy. I like [being] at Comic-Con and stuff, it’s nice to have that size a crowd. Especially at Comic-Con, you get the Q&A or whatever so there is some kind of performance involved. At the premieres and stuff, where it’s just screaming at you, that’s kind of harder. It’s quite tiring, because you don’t really know what you’re supposed to be doing.

Your last day of shooting on “Breaking Dawn Part 2” was in April, is that right?

Pattinson: Um. [Pauses] God, I have no idea.

It was earlier this year, let’s say.

Pattinson: Oh, no no no. It was ages ago.

Was it? I thought you did some reshoots earlier this year.

Pattinson: Oh yeah. Maybe.
