I must confess. I didn�t like Robert Pattinson. And today I wish I had stood back. When Twilight was released and we saw that 10,000 people were camping in front of the movie theater of Los Angeles where the premiere was taking place , our first reaction as journalist was : �But why are they enjoying this saga ?�
When Pattinson had arrived a few hours later , he was so overwhelmed that he quickly disappeared. Just a few words to the media . We had thus concluded that this guy was big headed . It was a huge mistake. In fact , Pattinson is a real shy guy . Moreover , he is English , so he is a phlegmatic shy person. And when we chatted with him , for the release of Eclipse , I realized that he didn�t expect such a phenomenon that night at the Twilight premiere . Robert Pattinson is only 24 and nowadays , he is the most desired bachelor of the world. . And trust me , he still can�t cope with his fame . So he stays at home , never goes out at night and when he�s not playing this 107 years old virgin vampire, he chooses interesting roles in interesting films . But let�s focus today on Eclipse because it�s been released all around the world , I hope you will forgive me for this easy play on words . Here is �Interview with a vampire�
R.M. : Since you�re English, you must have followed the FIFA world cup . Why do you think this event is so important in the world?
R.P. : The english team is always a good one , we always have the best players and no one is supposed to play better than us , but everytime , it�s not enough to win
I don�t know why football is so important and why it gathers so many people. Maybe because it�s easy to understand this sport . The more a sport attracts people ; the more popular it�ll be , that�s why I never understood why football isn�t so popular in the USA . It�s incredible to see such a huge and rich country unable to have a good football team . I must say they improve and thay have a great football team now.
R.M. : You�re only 24 and you�re on the spotlights , is it difficult not to make mistakes?
R.P. : Yes , it�s always frustrating and people always expect me to do some mistakes to pounce on me. But I like being imperfect. We can�t always look perfect and sell such an image. It�s impossible. Anyway, I never tried to do so , it�d be dangerous . And I�ve always made a million mistakes (laughs�)
R.M. : and if you did a film which happens to be a failure ?
R.P. : as long as I�m making a film for good reasons , and not money ,it�ll be OK . If I decide to do a film just for money , there�ll be problems. Nothing can be good if you do it for money or for fame . If we choose to do a film because we think it�s a good story, then even if it�s a failure, I don�t mind. I�ve never been attracted by money or fame . My desires are quite limited, so I guess it�ll be OK!
R.M. : Your upcoming film is Bel Ami , an adaption of Maupassant�s novel . You also played Salvador Dali and then you did Twilight.These aren�t classical choices
R.P. : I never thought about what I wanted to do . And when you�re not famous , we can do independent films , more artistic films . And you have to be lucky to do it ! Then when I did Twilight, I didn�t expect that success . First because it was directed by Catherine Hardwicke who comes from the independent cinema industry. And then because Kristen Stewart was cast . She had only done independent films . I thought it�d be a simple love story with vampires and that maybe it�d become a strange remembered film . Obviously , it became this huge phenomenon and no one had predicted it. Once you�re in it , you have to surf on the success wave ! I won�t complain to be in a successful film !
R.M. : You told us you don�t do films for money , but due to the success of Twilight, did you take part to the negotiations?
R.P. : In a way , I did . But it�s my manager and my agent who deal with it . My only wish is to go on working . The other aspects bother me. And I don�t think about money when I do films one after the other . It�s what I enjoy . Before Twilight, I did a tiny film �Little Ashes�. There was no budget and above all no money for me but it allowed me to live 4 months in Barcelona, just for this film. It was awesome ! Except that , my life is the same , I always do the same things . So there aren�t so many difference between the past and the present
R.M. : You play the guitar and you had a group . Is music important for you ?
R.P. : It�s very important and I think being an actor helped me for my music. In the past, I wasn�t interested in music . My sister who is a singer introduced me to this world . This indutry is much more difficult thant the film industry. You�re not really respected when you�re an actor , but when you shoot a film , in the end you�re paid . In the music industry , you�re constantly asked to improve yourself . You work again on your music and once it�s done, you�re not paid !The only reason I started doing music and trying to record albums, it�s because I�m a bit famous , and it�d perhaps help me playing with famous artists .Once you�re famous as an actor, doors are open for music . So I hope I could record some songs , but just for me .If it�s for money , it�s useless . And I consider that if you earn money no one can listen to you until it�s over , nobody can judge you either
R.M. : What can you tell us about Breaking Dawn.
R.P. :Bill Condon is going to direct it , but I haven�t read the script yet . It�ll be 2 different films . I confess I�m a bit afraid that this franchise is going to end . It�s a safety net which enables us to make some mistakes in these films beause we know there�ll always be another one .But once it�s over , it�s over ! I�m glad we shoot the films one after the other . I used to try to shoot a film in between Twilight films . For Eclipse, I had to embody Edward again in one week , and it was hard . One week preparation, it wasn�t easy and I was stressed at the beginning. So for the next installements, I could be Edward during the shooting of both films
R.M. : Speaking about Edward, he�s a 107 years old virgin vampire ?
R.P. : (Laughs ) How old is he ? I think he�s 109 or 110�
R.M. : And he never had sexual relationship before?
R.P. : I think he had an adventure with another vampire, in Alaska, but it�s not mentionned ! (laughs) In the first book , it�s briefly alluded to but I don�t remember it well . I don�t think it�s clearly explained . Fans enjoy thinking he�s still a virgin !
