Translated Rob, Kristen and Taylor interviews from OK! Mexico's New Moon edition



Kristen Stewart

What is Bella’s biggest change in New Moon?
She finally gets to know herself. What I liked about her in the first movie is that she had confidence in herself, without really knowing herself, and she didn’t know why she wanted what she wanted. I have more faith in her this time because she knows what she’s doing. She’s matured more.

In this second movie, Bella gets very depressed because her love for Edward is hard to get over…
Everything goes fine in this movie until she starts feeling she’s not worthy of him. In that sense it’s a weird thing, because she’s a very strong girl.

Do you think her depression has to do with low self-esteem?
Yes, but she really believes she’s not good enough for Edward. She also believes that she should be the only thing that completes him. So she feels really bad for being a burden in his life, and it’s the same feeling he has about her; he doesn’t feel worthy of her. In New Moon she underestimates herself. But in Eclipse she takes control, she becomes a woman.

How hard is it for you to leave the character once you’re done filming?
It’s hard. It’s not like when you stop filming for the day and you’re ready to keep filming. When everything is over all you have to do is go home. ‘Ok, I’m done, goodbye’. It’s horrible, but that’s how it has to be done.

Do you have a special routine to get into the character of Bella?
No, every day is different. It depends on how nervous I am that day. If it’s a major scene, like it is most of the times, I like to give the best of me and really be on the set, and (she says very loudly) everything is cool! Bring on the death scene! It’s great! But sometimes I can’t do it. I’m like that freak that nobody can talk to, and it’s really embarrassing at the end of the day having to say, ‘I’m sorry, I’ve been acting weird all day’.

How can you explain the fascination that people have with vampires?
I don’t think people are interested in the vampires here. It’s more about who they are and not what they are. The interest here is the fact that Edward is a vampire, but at the same time he’s very human, and that’s new to a story. If you add vampires to the love story, that’s what makes it even more beautiful.

What do you feel about working with the same cast again?
It’s comforting, definitely. It’s like summer camp, even if it doesn’t sound very convincing, it’s the truth. We literally wake up together. We’ve already done two movies, and then all of a sudden, wow! The third is done, can you believe it? It’s weird.

Was it hard for Dakota to join the cast of New Moon?
It was hard in the beginning, but now she’s one of my closest friends. I’m very happy that she’s here. I’ve already said it before, it’s going to be a trip seeing her as Jane, and I’ll be prepared as Bella.

What was your reaction when you saw the Bella Barbie doll?
The doll doesn’t really look like me. It looks a lot older (laughs). It’s really crazy. It’s weird to see how something you lived as a very pesonal thing, it affects more people too. I just see it like a painting that doesn’t look like me, it’s like a cartoon version of a character I played, but that’s not me. That’s not how I see myself.

Taylor Lautner says you’re very good at football. Do you like sports?
Yes, I grew up with my brothers and became very competitive. I don’t like being bad at anything, and if I know I’m not good at something, I prefer not doing it at all.

Did your adolescence influence the way you are right now?
I’m 19, so I’m still a teenager. I think it’s very similar as to how your childhood affects your adolescence and how your adolescence affects your 20’s.

You don’t consider yourself an adult?
I think I became an adult at age 12, when I did Panic Room. I always had my own way of seeing things, I was never self-indulgent, I wasn’t raised to be that way.

Have you always been responsible of yourself and everything that surrounds you?
I’m the youngest of my family, but I’ve always felt like I have to take care of my brothers. The truth is that I worry a lot, and I’ve never been a girl who doesn’t care about anything. I’ve always worried about things, even when I was in kindergarten.

Are you worried about your future, professionally?
No, in my case I’ve never had to fight to find a new project. Opportunities present themselves to me, normally. And if I feel like I need them, then I get involved in them. But if they don’t come, it’s because I didn’t need them.

I know you love books. What are you reading right now?
I reveal this information because I know people like to know what I consume. My last book was Sexus, by Henry Miller. I’ve been very busy lately, all I’ve read are scripts.

You’re gonna play Joan Jett very soon in The Runways.
Yes, and it was very difficult to do it since I made the decision to join that movie. It’s hard to organize. I’ve stayed with the crew filming until 2 AM.

Wow…
It’s okay. I saw it coming. But I think it’s great to do something else. I stalked my director asking to see the final results.

-----------------------------------------------------

ROBERT PATTINSON

Now that you’re famous, is it harder to go to places?
It was alright for awhile, then everything changed. People started gathering outside my house. It’s weird because anywhere I go to, people are there, it’s like everybody knew I was in Vancouver. In fact, it’s so hard to leave hotels without being followed. You have to really manage. It’s weird everything you have to go through. So I try to not be in places where there will be people. I try to go to the most shody places that I can find and where people won’t care if they see me there.

Fame must have its perks though. Parties, gifts…
I never think about that, actually. When people record what you’re saying you become vulnerable, so you must always watch your back. One good thing about it is that if I mention a band I like, or a singer, everyone writes about it. It’s like I have my own label. That’s what happened to some of my friends whom which I worked with for the Twilight soundtrack. All of a sudden, just because they had a connection with me, they sold out concerts in America and got recording contracts. Those are the positive aspects of the fame.

Do you read what people say about you in the press?
Sometimes. My mother is obsessed and she always sends me that stuff. But it’s funny, because no matter what you do or don’t do, you always end up on the cover.

Is that frustrating?
It’s very weird. It’s like, I leave my hotel room after months, and only to have dinner or to do something not very interesting, and people still talk about it. I have a couple of friends from school that live in Vancouver, and when I went to their home, something very unimportant, all of a sudden it was everywhere. It’s like the more boring you are, the more attention you get. It’s hilarious.

Do you think it will be hard to fall in love now that you’re famous?
No, that’s not an obstacle, I think. It’s easy to deal with fame, unless it affects your career. There’s people who are very unlucky and the media manages to make them look like idiots. And if that happens, you’re never gonna get work because everyone sees you as an idiot! It’s horrible because you don’t know what to do.

Can you tell if girls are interested in you because of you, or because of your fame?
If they’re attractive, I don’t mind if they only care about Robert the actor! (laughs), although I prefer if they liked me for me.

Do you see yourself like an idol?
Not at all. I know people that have thought of it like that, but I don’t. The fact that I never got any other roles of “the good looking guy” should say something, shouldn’t it?

What’s it like to be the fantasy of so many girls?
It’s funny because I know that if the fans came over and sat for 5 minutes to talk to me, they would be disappointed.

Do you think they would be disappointed in you?
Yes! Of course they would be. You can’t be what other people want you to be, because everybody has their own point of view. Even if people don’t really know what they want, they still be looking forward to it with some sort of illusion. The real me is no fantasy, I think.

You’ve talked about how it took you two weeks to get into character for Twilight. What about this time?
I went to Canada a month before the filming of the movie began, and I learned how relaxing and easy it can be to be back this time around, maybe because I connected more with the second book than I did with the first. I understood the stories and their motivations much better, because I could relate to all of those emotions in my own life. Like when Edward thinks he’s making a bad decision when he’s leaving Bella, but he does it anyway. I think any guy would do the same in their own relationships, it’s like you’re meant to mess it up! And I can relate to that because I always mess things up. That’s how it happens.

Why do you think a story about vampires and werewolves has become such a huge hit?
The story is about commitment, about finding your loved one and not knowing if you’re good enough for them. It’s about being scared and feeling like you’re going to ruin it. I feel that’s why people can relate to the movie. And that’s how I see it, I’ve never seen it like a vampire story.

Speaking of which, would you like to live forever?
I don’t think I could. I have a great Aunt, she’s like 97 years old and everytime I talk to her she says: ‘Next time you come and see me, bring me some poison’. That’s why I wouldn’t want to live forever, under any circumstance.

Do you believe in astrology or karma?
Sort of. I’m relatively interested in that sort of stuff. What I do believe in, is in karma, because I’ve had my butt kicked many times!

What are you filming soon?
A couple of movies. I’ve been working all year with no days off, but I’m doing things that are very different, and the projects that I feel very close to me, things that I need to do. I’m not doing anything huge. Just things that speak to me. That’s how I choose what I want to do.

How do you feel about being a gay icon too?
I feel the same way as I do with the girls, I take it as a compliment. But I still don’t understand that kind of adoration. I guess I just have to accept it..

-----------------------------------------------------

TAYLOR LAUTNER

Have you changed since you got those muscles and weight for the role?
People always ask me that, but I don’t feel a difference. I feel like I’m the same person. It would be scary if I had changed.

Why did you chose to become an actor?
All my life I practiced sports and when I was 6 I like to do everything, wrestling, karate, football, baseball, basketball. My karate instructor got into showbiz and he convinced me to go to a shooting, and as soon as I did it, I was 10, I become fascinated. I lived in Michigan, my parents told me that if I wanted to keep doing it we had to move to LA, I didn’t want to stop doing it and I packed my bags and moved. It’s a very risky thing to do, but I’m very thankful fo the support that my family has given me.

Did your childhood affect who you are right now?
I went to a public school until 8th grade, that’s when I left because I was very busy, but I really enjoyed it, especially the social side of it, not the classrooms I got lucky with Twilight and I’m very excited to be part of it.

Do you feel like you’re matured between Twilight and New Moon?
Yes, the role is very different because in Twilight Jacob is still a kid, he has no worries and that’s how the first part of New Moon starts. But when he bcomes a werewolf, he becomes a very different person. It was a challenge to play a kind of double personality in the same movie, and even in the same day. But it was fun.

How long did your make up take?
Before the transfomation, I only wore a wig, so it wasn’t that bad. It took like 15 minutes. But post-transformation it takes longer.

Do you feel pressured?
Not really, but I do feel a little pressured because in New Moon there’s a relationship between Bella and Jacob, and I want to do it the right way, just like everyone imagined it.

If you weren’t an actor what would you be?
i love everything that has to do with behind the scenes: writing, directing, producing. I can see myself doing it.

Who is your inspiration?
Ron Howard, because he was an actor and then became a very successful director. I like Robert Rodriguez, who I worked with on Sharboy. And he does everything: writes, composses music, directs, produces. It’s crazy, he’s such a talented guy. I’d love to be that way.

Do you have a fun anecdote from the set?
I don’t know, Kristen and me playing football. I always carry a football around and I like to toss it at the boys. One day Kristen said she wanted to try and I told her to throw the ball, and since then she’s my football buddy. Amazingly enough, she’s really good at it.

What is love to you?
There goes the tendentious question. Jacob and Bella, that’s love to me.

Translation from the Press Confrence in Brazil

How did you feel on the set of New Moon?

Taylor Lautner - Totally excited to have, once again, this opportunity. I had fun. It was very good.

In the beginning, even before New Moon started to be shooted, there were rumors and the possibility of you (Kristen and Taylor) do not work together because Taylor may no longer attend the filming. How was that? How did you feel?

Kristen Stewart - It was strange. But most important was that, although he was much younger, we all had a full conviction that it was the right person for the role. There wouldn’t be another person who could take his place. There were no fights. Nothing of the sort. Not really. The studio just needed to make sure that Taylor would play the role of Jacob again.

Taylor Lautner - I tried not think about it. I was always trying to focus on everything that I could manage.

How was the experience of you in the at Comic Con, in July this year in San Diego, with so many passionate fans and devoted to you?

Taylor Lautner - Our fans are really passionate. But that everywhere, not only in California.

Kristen Stewart - It was nice. It was the first time we had an experience like that. They were really anxious, excited. It was good to see the reaction of them all.

Why do you think the series was so successful in Brazil, since we don’t have this culture of vampirism?

Kristen Stewart - I think it's because it is much more than a vampire story. The whole world can compare with the characters in one way or another. Okay they are vampires and werewolves, but they are basically characters. But they live human feelings. After all, is a love story. Put into most extreme level possible, but it is a love story. We use the plot as a metaphor for that.

A search by a large Brazilian site where children and teens voted for Taylor as the best actor of the moment, surpassing even the votes for Robert Pattinson. What you think about that?

Taylor Lautner - Wow! Wow (laughing a lot). It's really the level of passion, right? I'm a lucky boy. I love my character. Much. As for Rob (Robert Pattinson), I think he can handle it.

The character of Robert Pattinson, Edward Cullen, didn’t appear in the book like he appears in the film.

Kristen Stewart - It was a purely creative process. The reason that he appears in the movie more is because it’s basically a personification of Bella’s thoughts. In the book, he talks to her in thought. In the film, we see the illustration of this. He appears in dreams, in subjective ideas of Bella. After all, during almost the whole movie, she has he in mind.

Taylor Lautner - And this needed to happen to establish more strongly the idea of the love triangle between Bella, Edward and Jacob, that Eclipse is fully evident. Bella really in love with Jacob. And she loves Edward. In Eclipse, the story is basically this triangle. So it’s important that this is very visual, that Edward is visual in New Moon.

Why, in the opinion of Taylor, the character Bella should be with Jacob?

Taylor Lautner - Well, I think that Kristen is the one that should answer this question(laughing). Edward and Jacob are totally opposite. You have to choose between go to the left or to the right, you know?

Kristen Stewart - Jacob is who she should be with. She feels free with him. Isn’t tense beside him. But like everyone knows, the girls never make the best choice in these cases (laughs). For Bella, it's a battle to deal with all this, with this choice.

You read the books before filming?

Taylor Lautner - Definitely read. I read Twilight before filming the first feature. When filming ended, I read all the others.

Kristen Stewart - I only read after reading the scripts. I fell in love after reading the scripts. I’m usually not interested in enter in a bookstore and walk in the teen session, so there wasn’t much that curiosity. But then, yes, read them all.

How was the process of physical transformation of the character of Taylor, Jacob Black (cut the long locks, 14kg of muscle), which are evident in the new saga?

Taylor Lautner - It was hard. A lot of exercises and tons of food (laughs). I started this routine right after the end of Twilight.

Kristen Stewart (interrupting) - He was not sure that would be called to New Moon and he was there, devoting himself, training. He didn’t know if he would play Jacob again. For that reason, he coming back was such a delight. He is dedicated. Deserves it.

What are your favorite scenes, in both: Twilight and New Moon?

Taylor Lautner - The flashback scenes that are showed in Twilight. Wow, can’t believe that I'm admitting it right now (laughs). And in New Moon, the scene where Jacob comes inside Bella’s room, climbing the walls. I practiced a lot to do this scene. From 3 to 4 hours per day.

Kristen Stewart - I agree. This part of the room was great! In New Moon, the scene that Bella pushes Edward is my favorite.

What the girls who idolize Bella must do to be like her, dress like her, since Bella has become an icon of fashion and behavior?

Kristen Stewart - I don’t know! You should watch the movie. And Bella isn’t a fashion icon. She doesn’t worry about it. She wears anything that makes her warm and comfortable. Just it.

Taylor Lautner - it's because Kristen always stay beautiful, no matter what she dress (laughs).

What do you had the time to meet while you were here these two days?

Taylor Lautner – Not too much. But surely we gave a way to go in one of the most famous Brazilian steak house. I loved it. And I got surprised by the number of buildings in Sao Paulo.

Kristen Stewart - We are the last 24 hours inside the hotel

Vanity Fair Outtakes and Interview

























Time was, girls were in short supply at Comic-Con, San Diego’s annual comic-book/science-fiction/fantasy conference. Now they’re packed into Hall H (capacity 6,500), waiting super-patiently through all the dork stuff—the endless Tron Legacy preview and a panel where all the geeks in the audience got worked up about some weird, tricked-out, like, car. Then The Final Destination, in which a bunch of people get impaled, decapitated, and churned up by escalators and cars. Um, that’s mature. Now Astro Boy is zipping around the screen, chirping, “I’ve got machine guns … in my butt?” The girls are so not LOL. After all, they’ve been lined up since five this morning to catch a glimpse of Robert Pattinson, otherwise known as “The Pattz” or “Edward Cullen,” the really hot vampire he played in Twilight, and by now the super-cute outfits they picked out for him—short-shorts and Twilight T-shirts—have gotten sweaty, and their makeup needs to be re-applied.

At last, the moderator’s voice reverberates dramatically throughout the darkened hall, “And now … ” The shrieking begins—deafening, glass-breaking, amusing for about three seconds, until it becomes excruciating. The moderator continues with a joke: “What would you do if I said, ‘That’s it. Thanks for coming’?” Some of the guys, hostile to this new Comic-Con element, roar in approval, “Yeah!”

The moderator relents, however, and introduces the cast members of New Moon—the second installment in the Twilight saga, opening this month—as they take the stage to increasingly loud rounds of applause: Ashley Greene (Edward’s vampire sister, Alice), Kristen Stewart (Bella, Edward’s human girlfriend), and Taylor Lautner (Jacob, Bella’s hunky friend who’s sometimes a werewolf). “I think we have one more backstage … ” he says at last.

Robert and Bel Ami

And thanks to Everglow:

Pattinson, Kidman board Bel Ami for Protagonist

4 November, 2009 | By Geoffrey Macnab

In an intriguing star pairing, Twilight sensation Robert Pattinson is teaming with Nicole Kidman to star in Bel Ami, the film of Guy De Maupassant’s erotically charged story of ambition, power and seduction. Multi-award winning UK theatre directors Declan Donnellan and Nick Ormerod are directing from a screenplay by Rachel Bennette.

London-based Protagonist has taken on international sales to the film.

Uberto Pasolini (The Full Monty) will produce, with Simon Fuller of 19 Entertainment acting as executive producer.The film will shoot in London and Budapest from February 2010.

Donnellan and Ormerod, whose Cheek By Jowl is widely regarded as one of the most influential theatre companies in the world, will make their feature debut with this story about a young man’s rise to the top of Parisian high society in the 1890s, via the beds of the city’s most glamorous and influential women.

In a world where politics and media jostle for influence, where sex is power and celebrity an obsession, the film has, say the producers, a contemporary relevance which should resonate with audiences worldwide.

Bel Ami is a Redwave Films production in association with 19 Entertainment, Protagonist Pictures and RaiCinema. RAI has Italian rights. All other territories will be sold by Protagonist, which has already commenced pre-sales on the film.

Robert & Kristen: HARPER'S BAZAAR interview

Robert Pattinson & Kristen Stewart's Wild Ride
With Twilight, the young actors found themselves thrust into the spotlight. Now, while their characters are torn apart in New Moon, they couldn't be closer.
By Laura Brown

Rob Pattinson's and Kristen Stewart's rooms sit side by side on the thirtysomethingth floor of the Sheraton hotel in Vancouver ("the Couve," as Kristen calls it), where they are filming Eclipse, the third installment of the Twilight saga. They spend a lot of time in their rooms in the sky -- two Rapunzels of sorts entertaining themselves behind closed doors -- because it's really, really hard to go out. "There are like 15 different exits in this place," observes Kristen of the tactics she and the rest of the Twilight cast use to avoid the paparazzi. She adds, "Rob is more frustrated with it, but he's 23 and I'm 19. He had a couple more years to be an adult and to be independent, whereas just as I was getting to the age when it's normal to go out by yourself ..." She pauses. "But it's boring because this is all I fucking talk about."

Rob talks about it too. "Do you mind if we sit outside?" he asks as he stands in his hotel room, looking longingly out the window. "I need some air." It's a cold, gray day, but who is to deny him some freedom? (And chivalry is not dead, girls. A young man will still lend you his jacket. Maybe because he is British.) Rob doesn't just face paparazzi, he gets clawing, shrieking girls too. New Yorkers may remember he was clipped by a cab while fleeing from the ladies on the set of Remember Me this past summer. "But at least that's an experience, something new," he says. "If it's just screaming -- and I know this sounds so ridiculous -- that gets old. But sometimes when there's literal chaos, it's like being in a war zone, and that's kind of exciting. You're just running through the crowd of people chasing after you and no one knows what's going on." Rob has laid low for a few days -- a disturbance in the Force so great that Perez Hilton (home of some of Rob's 15,200,000 Google hits) felt compelled to post, "Where is R-Patz?!" "If I'm not out, I've had a heroin overdose," Rob observes. "It's one thing or another."

At the moment, there is only one thing anyone cares about regarding these two, who, as Twilight's Bella and Edward, manifest all of our vampiric romance fetishes: Are they dating or what? Well ... it's clear that Rob and Kristen are close -- very close. Okay, who is the most romantic then? "I have a no-bullshit detector," says Kristen, "so I'd have to say Rob is. I think romance is anything honest. As long as it's honest, it's so disarming." Rob chuckles when asked the same question. "Um, I don't know. What did Kristen say?" You. "No. I'm better at faking." This is followed by a very long laugh.

The two first met at the 2007 auditions for Twilight, what they both assumed was going to be a cult vampire movie -- not a $380-million-grossing global phenomenon complete with their own Barbies. They were thrown into a bedroom scene -- well, a scene in a bedroom, anyway. "It wasn't like we had to lie down together," Kristen says, "but we were very reactive. We had a very responsive, palpable thing." Robert notoriously took half a Valium beforehand. "I was calm and collected, and then we do this thing where we're pretty much making out. I've since tried to do it at another audition, but it completely just collapsed." He adds, "Kristen was very different from how I expected the girl who played Bella would be. I was kind of intimidated."

Even though she was born and bred in chillaxed Los Angeles, Kristen is an intense young lady -- and the shock of unruly black hair she currently has (a legacy from her role as Joan Jett in the upcoming The Runaways) does nothing to dispel that perception. Some Twilight fans were upset about their Bella turning into a noir-haired badass, but rest assured she'll be wearing a wig in Eclipse. "I think it's ridiculous that you need to look a certain way to be conventionally pretty," she declares, then smiles, "but now that my hair's grown out and shaggy, it sort of looks a little funny. I'll admit that." Kristen swears like a sailor and feels everything 200 percent. "She's a unique girl," says Rob simply. "You really don't meet many people like Kristen."

Today, in the hotel's Constellation Suite, Kristen is sitting on the concrete terrace in her uniform of jeans, a white tank under another tie-dyed one, and a hoodie. "I'm like, fuck, I'm not wearing a neon-colored tube top or something pink," she says, putting her at odds with many in her red-carpet, The Hills-ian peer group. Ask her who made her top and she has no idea. A look at the tag, though, reveals something called Born Famous Couture. She looks mortified, then cackles. "I did not buy this, I promise."

Of the two, it seems Kristen wears the pants. (While she will admit to one girlish thing, a love of Chanel, her dream outfit is a custom Brooks Brothers suit.) When she ventures into a dress, it might just be covered in metal, like the Rock & Republic mini she wore to the Teen Choice Awards earlier this year. "Everyone was like, 'Look at your spiky skirt!'" she says with a grin, "and I was like, 'Spiky skirt? They were bullets, mofo!'" She gets some stick in the media for not suffering fools. "People think I'm trying to be rebellious, but that's the last thing I'm doing," she says. "But I would hate myself if I tried to satisfy the people who have a problem with the way I speak about myself, so it's okay."

"Kristen doesn't take any slack," Rob says. "She sticks to her guns -- and that's difficult to do." He also thinks she's a better actor than he is. "I don't really know how to act. I'm kind of guessing everything. ... Even though I can conceptualize stuff, she can actually do it. I can make something so complex and then be like, That was pout 27." He reckons she's a better judge of character too. "She'll decide on someone a lot quicker. She has a lot more self-esteem than I do, so she's like, 'You're an idiot and I don't want to talk to you,' and I'm like, 'I'm an idiot too!' So I'll talk to an idiot for like three days before deciding."

That handicap aside, Rob is gloriously handsome. The planes of his face work beautifully in 3-D, 2-D, probably 1-D too. But in person, he doesn't have a whole lot of game. He is self-deprecating to a fault. (During the interview, he refers to himself as an idiot a half dozen times.) He also maintains, in all seriousness, that he's never broken up with a girl; they've always broken up with him. "Eventually, the girl is like, 'I know it's got nothing to do with me. You're an?...?idiot.'"

In the corner of Rob's hotel room sits a stack of boxes. "Most of it is my dirty washing from New York," he says shamefacedly. "I didn't do any washing the whole time I was there. I just put it in boxes and shipped them up here." When his clean laundry runs out, he steals socks and underwear from sets. I find a suspicious lump in his jacket pocket, which turns out to be a pair of black socks. "Oh, God!" he says, bursting out in laughter. "See? I'm a klepto."

Famousness, it seems, hit Rob before he could coordinate his infrastructure. The most functional parts of his hotel room's decor are a couple of guitars and a box of Ray-Bans. "Do you want a pair?" he asks, thrusting them into my hand. "I've got 16." At least he's prepared to withstand the glare of the spotlight. He chuckles and says, "My dad says he likes to bask in my glow."

Rob might want to stash some of those sunglasses, because the excitement about next summer's release of Eclipse, in which Bella and Edward get engaged, might, yes, eclipse New Moon. The tabloids are excitedly reporting that Rob and Kristen are "Engaged!" based solely on them calling each other "husband" and "wife" on set. So it seems only appropriate to hit them with a newlywed game of sorts. ...

Who spends more time on their hair?

Kristen: "Rob."

Rob: "I have weird personal-space issues, and so I can't stand people -- um, I'll do anything to not have any touch-ups."

Competitive?

Kristen: "Rob. In a very childish way, in every aspect of his life. He'll literally start talking in a different voice if he's won something. He sounds like a five-year-old."

Rob: "I'd say it was even. She said me? Really? When I really win things, it's just like..." [Kristen is correct: He makes a noise like a five-year-old.]

Athletic?

Kristen: "I'm definitely claiming that one. Rob can barely jump rope. I call him Flippy because when he does his stunt rehearsals, he flips around [makes a gesture like a penguin]. And, God, when he tries to run ..."

Rob: "Kristen. You notice it in the film; she looks so much more athletic than I do. And I'm supposed to be the superhero."

Egotistical?

Kristen: "I'd have to say him. I hope he says him too actually. Like every time he looks in the mirror and he twists his hair. Actually, he could give a fuck about his hair. I hope that sarcasm translates."

Rob: "It's kind of a tie. We're both pretty proud people. Her ego is more solid than mine, but mine has soared to such peaks, it's ridiculous. Mine's more erratic, but it can get to a point when it's, like, godlike. Only in my eyes, of course. Sometimes just when I say hello the right way, I'm like, Whoa, I'm so cool."

Who Googles themselves more?

Kristen: "Rob."

Rob: "She would say me, but I reckon it's her. If either one of us catches the other one doing it, we're like, Jesus Christ, is that what you're looking at? And the other one's on their phone pretending to text. I look up my competition more than she does. I'm incredibly shallow. I think she just looks at herself."

Who's the better musician?

Kristen: "Rob. He's a great singer. Heartbreaking."

The most outgoing?

Rob: "I was once, but not so much anymore. Kristen's a little more open now."

Better sport?

Kristen: "Who can hang? Definitely me. He's very sensitive. He's got a fragile ego."

Superstitious?

Kristen: "Rob. He's a little bit more paranoid, so that feeds into superstition more."

Rob: "I am. I believe a lot in karma and stuff. Like when I end up with egg on my face, I'm like, Fate! I was born doomed. But I think it's more being an idiot than superstitious."

But perhaps it pays to be a little paranoid. Whatever it takes for Rob and Kristen to live their hothouse lives as normally as they can -- until the November 20 opening of New Moon, anyway. In the interim, CNN will report whenever Rob gets a haircut (it already has), and girls will get mad at Kristen for not wearing pink tube tops and taking their dream man away. They both fantasize about what they would do if nobody could see them. "I'd like to say something noble," Rob says, fiddling with his hair, "but I'd probably spy on people to hear what they think of me -- and then hate them for it afterward." Kristen is, as ever, a little blunter: "I'd go for a walk."

11 Facts about Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart

Rob: On Driving
"My dad's a car dealer, but I grew up in London, so I always say I don't drive…I get driven. I got a driving lesson in Oregon, and then I bought a car in L.A. and I basically learned how to drive by people honking at me. I'm terrible at driving."

Kristen: On cats vs dogs
If she could be an animal, she'd be a cat. "With cats, you’re like, 'Come here!' And they're standing there being like, 'Fuck you!'"

Rob: On Laundry
"In London, doing the washing was a bi-annual thing, a giant mission. Me and my flatmate had BMX [bikes] and we'd have two of them and this massive laundry sack, a convoy."

Kristen: On Menswear
"I think it's sexy when chicks wear black slouchy trousers -- fitted, but slouchy. I look at designer clothes on Rob and I'm like, 'I want those pants, man.'"

Rob: On Anonymity
"I kind of wish people didn't know who I am, that I could just lie, say I'm a speechwriter for Obama. This is what I said before Twilight. And then Obama came along and picked up all these young writers. I found out this guy, Jon Favreau -- who's not the actor Jon Favreau -- is writing for him. And I was like, 'Wow, I wonder if the people who thought I was bullshitting at the time are like, 'Oh my god. That guy! That kid who was drunk in some bar actually wrote the health care bill!'"

Kristen: On Stature
"I’m 5'6". I feel like I should be taller. I feel like I'm smaller than my mental stature. I should be 5'10". 5'10" would be very good."

Rob: On Money
"I don't spend any money. The only thing I've really bought is my car, which cost $1,500 and keeps exploding. It would be nice to buy a house for my parents, but at the same time my parents are so comfortable where they live; they would probably just feel like it was a burden. I wear the same clothes every day and the only thing I used to splurge on was DVDs."

Kristen: On Acting
"Anything that I do for work, I'm nervous about. If I'm not nervous about it, then I shouldn't be doing it."

Rob: On Modelling
"I peaked at 12. There are so many photos from that time where I look unbearably awkward. I'd just be looking in random directions and stuff."

Kristen: On Baking
"I make really good pie. Apple pie -- it's the best."

Rob: On Dancing
He says dancing makes him nervous. "I used to be really good, but then something happened in my brain."

Kristen Stewart sounds off about Robert Pattinson romance rumors



Kristen Stewart, the 19-year-old star of the Twilight franchise, knows that she can come across as sullen and self-conscious in the public eye. But during an exclusive EW roundtable in Vancouver, Canada, where the cast was prepping for their last week of the Eclipse shoot and then the immediate onslaught of publicity for the November 20th release of New Moon, Stewart was funny, quick and outspoken in a wide-ranging conversation with co-stars Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson.

Asked about the endless rumors of her supposed off-screen romance with Pattinson, for instance, Stewart got nicely fired up. “I probably would’ve answered it if people hadn’t made such a big deal about it,” she said. “But I’m not going to give the fiending an answer. I know that people are really funny about ‘Well, you chose to be an actor, why don’t you just f—ing give your whole life away?! Can I have your firstborn child?’”

Pattinson himself, who clearly loathes confrontation, tried to softly interject with philosophical statements about the need for an actor to hold onto his individuality. But Stewart cut him off. “I’ve thought about this a lot,” she said. “There’s no answer that’s not going to tip you one way or the other. Think about every hypothetical situation: ‘Okay, we are. We aren’t. I’m a lesbian.’ I’m just trying to keep something,” she said. “If people started asking me if I was dating Taylor, I’d be like ‘F— off!’ I would answer the exact same way.” Without missing a beat, Pattinson looked at Lautner, promising “Me too.”

Kristen's press conference

Earlier today, the massive Los Angeles press junket for Summit Entertainment’s “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” began. All weekend the cast is going to be doing tons of interviews and I’d imagine you’re going to be reading the coverage on every website you follow. So rather than wait till the week of release, I’m going to be jumping in head first and posting what was said as fast as I can get it done. And up first… Kristen Stewart.

While at last year’s press junket for the first “Twilight” film, I got the sense that the massive worldwide interest was a bit much for this talented young actress. But, on stage today, she not only handled the media like a pro, she seemed a lot more comfortable being closely associated with Bella Swan. In fact, she seemed really happy to be talking about the movie. So if you’d like to read or listen to what Kristen Stewart had to say about “New Moon”, hit the jump and take a look:

Question: A year ago when we talked to you seemed to be a shy, sensitive young actor. How has this past year been for you in terms of this nonstop thing on ‘New Moon’ and you and Rob Pattinson?

Stewart: I think I’ve gotten a lot more comfortable with talking about myself and knowing that what you say people are really going to take into consideration and that always intimidated me so much that I minced every word that came out of my mouth. I couldn’t finish a sentence because I was so concerned about how it was going to sound. I didn’t want to come across insincere about something that I really love to do. So I realized that instead of refraining from saying I’ve put my heart and soul into this thing and I love it, that’s what I should’ve said instead of, like the really logical, over analytical reason why I love it. You just do. I’ve gotten more comfortable with. The whole rumor, tabloid stuff, it’s so obviously false to me. Look, even before I became a part of it, once I sort of became a star…it’s like a show. It’s like a ridiculous show.

Question: A soap opera with your name in it?

Stewart: Exactly. With false realism like a soap opera that seems real but you’re not quite sure. It doesn’t bother me. I don’t take it personally. Luckily, because I’ve had so much experience it’s gotten easier to talk about the work.

Question: What about the work on this one?

Stewart: I had a really good time on this movie. It was intense. Just because of the nature of the story it goes in a completely different direction. We undermine the first. We establish a very ideological of love and basically tell our main character, our main protagonist that she was wrong and it’s like, ‘Where’s our story?’ You’re going to be left if Edward’s not there. What I really love about ‘New Moon’ is that you see this girl build herself back up and by the time she makes this sort of rash decision to spend eternity with a vampire she’s in a position where you actually believe her. You’re like, ‘Okay, you’re old enough, your mature enough to know. You’ve lived life.’ She grows up. I don’t know what I’m talking about anymore.

Question: What has been like working with Bryce Dallas Howard?

Stewart: Really good. Bryce is scary. She’s really oddly sweet as well. So it’s funny to see her switch back and forth, but Victoria for Bella is like an ever present fear. Even when Victoria isn’t around she’s scared that she’s coming back. Bryce is such a good actress and it was easy to be scared of her.

Question: Can you talk about breaking in your new director? How did you work with Chris Weitz?

Stewart: Chris has everything. I think to be a good director you have to be a good person and you have to care about people. I don’t know a more compassionate human being. I couldn’t have done this unless I had such a believable environment, a comfortable and safe environment to be so vulnerable in. He provided that tenfold. He’s one of the coolest, one of the smartest and funniest guys I know. He really loves the project as well. He wasn’t just jumping on the next big thing. So it wasn’t about breaking him in at all. He only helped make everything better. He made everything what it is. He’s incredible. I love him.

Question: Did he give you guys any guidance when he came in? How did that work?

Stewart: Chris did a very different thing that I’ve never had a director do. He put together, it’s like a syllabus almost of what we were supposed to achieve and how he was going to make it easier for everyone, sort of an introduction to how he likes to work. It didn’t only introduce the idea of collaboration, it was like inviting everyone onto this project and saying, ‘Please, everyone love it, and please, everyone be invested and work hard.’ It was very encouraging. It also had technical aspects of how he was so sorry that so much of the movie was going to be CGI stuff that we were going to have to react to but that he was always going to make us aware of what we were acting with, that he was never going to leave us high and dry. A lot of the FX movies are hard to do because you don’t know what you’re reacting to. So he had a full rundown of how he planned on making the movie. Most directors are like, ‘Have you put together notes for our meeting?’ It’s like, ‘No. That’s your job.’ So he’s amazing. I love him.

Question: Taylor Lautner is emerging from this movie as a huge star. If you could wipe the slate clean and made a decision do you really think that she wouldn’t have gone with fine, old Jacob?

Stewart: I know, trust me. I feel you completely.

Question: Can you talk about working with Taylor because he did an incredible job in the face of controversy going into the movie?

Stewart: I think that controversy has probably been like made bigger than it was. We needed to be sure that whoever played Jacob was going to be Jacob in ‘New Moon’. He’s such a different person. He becomes a man. There’s an entire [thing]. It’s not just a physical transformation. He really becomes an adult. I mean I always knew that Taylor could do that but we just needed to make sure because it was so important. So once he actually proved himself which wasn’t hard to do, even seeing him walk around on set was like a different experience. He’s literally become a different person. He’s just grown up. He’s so confident and the nicest guy that I’ve ever met. I know that I’m using this grammatically incorrect but he’s the funnest guy I’ve ever hung out with. So he’s great. I’m so proud of him.

Question: These films have come out so fast, one after the other. Can you talk about the intensity of that and also if you think you’ll remember all of it in five years?

Stewart: There’s already a lot of stuff that I have to say, ‘Okay, Kristen, be here. Experience it. Make sure that this isn’t another fleeting situation that you’re going to barely remember.’ You have to force yourself to sort of be present but I feel like the fact that I have the opportunity to pick and choose moments that I want to remember and I have to focus on remembering cool moments, that only tells you that I literally have an influx of them. I’ve had the coolest two years and I’m so lucky.

Question: What’s it like to work in Vancouver since you’ve been there for a while now? Do you have a home, favorite hang outs, what do you like to do there?

Stewart: I love Vancouver. When we’re doing the ‘Twilight’ series there I don’t get to go out as much as I’d like to. I’m also sort of a boring person. I really don’t go out to bars and stuff a whole lot unless it’s an event. It’s a beautiful place to be.

Question: What are your favorite spots in the city?

Stewart: I just like being outside there. I don’t have favorite spots. The climate is so different from what I’m used to. I don’t really have any favorite spots. I really don’t.

Question: Did you actually get to ride the motorcycle and if so were you into it and how do you feel about the bike?

Stewart: I’m definitely never going to be a biker. The idea of riding, I mean I’m scared of cars so the idea of riding a motorcycle is just never going to be something that I’m into. I was towed ridiculously. I was on the back of this truck and I probably looked funny doing it. Taylor rode motorcycles really well. There’s this one part that’s sort of undeniably him. He rides up and skids. I left that to him. I wasn’t about to do that. I don’t even think that they would let me necessarily. They would have more faith in Taylor to do that.

Question: Would you ride on the back with a guy though?

Stewart: Yeah. I did that. I did that and I didn’t like it. It’s so precarious. I don’t know if you’ve been on one but it literally feels like you’re going to fly off of it. I’m not into that.

Question: What do you find the most rewarding part of being involved in something so popular and what are some of the challenging parts of that?

Stewart: I think my favorite thing about this is the fact that I can keep it personal. It’s still something that if the franchise, if the saga didn’t become a franchise and it was literally was just a series of movies that I had done they would mean just as much to me. That’s also the best part of it, the fact that it isn’t like that, the fact that so many people are affected by it and are invested in it just as much as me if not more. Like I said about Chris, if you don’t like people and if you don’t want to make movies because you care about people then you probably are just wanting to be just rich and famous. So the fact that this is so important to so many people makes me so happy. That’s it. I think that’s it.

Question: Having such an avid fan base where and how do you draw the line between what the public wants to know about your private life?

Stewart: Right. I don’t know. I don’t think that anyone can get a handle [on that]. It’s like as soon as I stopped trying to control everything that came out of my mouth and every picture that came out, that’s when I became so much happier and it was so much easier to deal with. It wasn’t like it was a turning point. I’ve just grown into not having to care so much and to not try to think that I’m going to be able to plan out the way that everyone perceives me. There are no false impressions. Everyone’s impression of you is going to be what it is in that isolated moment. It’s people not considering where you are in that moment when you give that impression. I’m fine with that. I’m going to own what I’m going to own and literally…I should just stop trying to control what’s coming out of my mouth. I’m always going to keep what’s important to me in mind and I completely understand considering that we’re playing characters that are so coveted by so many people so I get why they want to know more about us and they want us to be together and all of that. I just sort of have to not think about it.

Question: How did filming in Italy add to the romance of your character?

Stewart: The fact that we didn’t have to be on a set and we were really in Italy, it makes it so much easier to immerse yourself in this world. It was so cool that we got to go to Italy and that we didn’t have to fake it. I think it really did add - I’m totally taking Chris’s words right now - a scope to the film that wouldn’t otherwise be there. To go from Forks to Italy is such a stark contrast and romantic just in the idea of it. So then to be there and feel it, of course it helps to have the real environment.

Question: Can you talk about the breakup scene with Edward and how emotional it was to do that? I know a lot of young girls in the audience last night were crying.

Stewart: Oh, that’s good. That was the scariest thing. I was almost as worried about messing it up than I was about what I actually should have been thinking about which was the issues that Bella is dealing with. Reading it, it’s so inconic. There’s nothing like that moment in reality even. It’s not even like a normal breakup scene. I know what’s it like to get broken up with but I don’t know what it’s like to get broken up with by a vampire who I’ve now been physically and chemically altered by. Suddenly you take an addict, you take whatever they’re addicted to away from them and there’s withdrawal. So that was the most intimidating scene in the entire movie. I don’t know how to explain how I did it. Chris really helped me out. It was just about talking. I don’t know. It was just about talking to him and reading the book and I had no other actors play off. I mean, the breakup scene that I did with Rob, that’s not where it happens yet. That’s not where I was intimidated. That was still, like she doesn’t even believe it yet. It’s when he goes, the absence of him that I was scared of. I was like, ‘How am I going to by myself in the woods with a hundred guys standing around me, filming me, die?’ Basically, literally having the equivalent of like a death scene but stay alive and get up and keep walking. It was hard. It was really intimidating. I still don’t know. I’ve seen the movie. I really like the movie but I don’t know if anyone ever really would’ve been able to bring that to life the way that Stephenie [Meyer] writes it.

Question: Other than that were there any other challenging scenes or moments for you?

Stewart: This for me is the most difficult, I won’t say hardest…I want to define it a little bit more. Bella is so sure all the time and this is the one movie where she’s actually baffled and totally like, ‘I don’t know.’ It’s weird to play Bella like that because she’s so not like that. That was difficult. I can’t think of a particular scene. It was really hard to go back and forth because you don’t shoot a movie in sequence, obviously. I had to do stuff with Jacob where I was alive and happy and out of this depression thing and then after lunch go back and scream in my bed for six hours. So that was difficult.

Question: What’s the craziest thing that you’ve had happen to you with this fans since starting this?

Stewart: The funniest thing in the world just happened to me in Brazil. I’ve had a lot of really varying experiences. Some absolutely touching and overwhelming and daunting. Some just like crazy. Then sometimes they’re really funny. I was in Brazil and me and Taylor went to Latin America this time and Rob was in Japan. That’s just how it goes sometimes. We’re sent all over and it means nothing who we’re with. This guy was chasing after us. There was a huge crowd anyway but this one very persistent fella was like, ‘Where is Robert! Where is Robert!’ I couldn’t stop laughing and I felt really bad because he was distraught and emotional and I was like, ‘It’s just Robert.’ It was really funny. I found that funny. Sometimes you get letters that are sort of reassuring when everyone is saying one thing about you. You have one person say, ‘Look -’ and it’s funny when you can actually relate to the fans on a human level and it happens all the time. People assume that’s impossible. So when that happens it’s a cool thing.

Question: Anything scary happen?

Stewart: Scary? No. I’m scared of crowds but individually no, of course not. Just personally I’m sort of intimidated by a lot of people.

Question: When it was announced that Chris Weitz was going to direct Stephenie Meyer was quoted as saying, ‘Lets see how a man does with movie.’ Did you have any trepidation when Catherine Hardwicke departed? Also, do you see Bella as a role model for young women?

Stewart: I think that Bella is such a good characters for girls not to look up to because it’s not looking up. The fact that she’s normal, and I think the most typically relatable thing is that she’s awesome and she doesn’t know it and she’s very sort of confident but also not arrogant. It’s a weird thing to be. I think she also has a lot of really innately female qualities that for a character in literature I think it’s awesome that so many girls can look up to her because she’s fickle and unabashedly. It’s like, ‘I’m allowed to make mistakes and I’m going to do it and I’m going to do it right now and I’m not going to be ashamed of it.’ Bella is very much like that. I think she is a good example for a young girl. I think the director thing, everyone is different. I’m not smart enough to sit here and analyze whether or not a female would’ve been more in touch. Both characters that the protagonist deals with are men. Everyone approaches relationships differently and I can’t really think of an answer.

Question: Do appreciate it when fans want to relate you to Bella, can you understand it?

Stewart: I totally understand why people have a hard time separating ourselves from our characters. It’s also just sort of the way our world is going. People are obsessed. There’s an incredibly large group of people that spend most of their time considering other people’s lives. It’s strange to me. Like I said, I can’t have anything to do with it or else I step in and mess it up for myself and I can’t even do it in a way that’s complete. I just let it sort of fall by the wayside and it doesn’t really affect me.

Question: You’ve talked about living in the moment, enjoying it. Is there a memory from the set that you’ll always take with you?

Stewart: The one moment that really [stands out], throughout the filming of ‘New Moon’, we wrapped in Italy. The last thing that I did I was running through a square through a bunch of people just around this corner, one little part of that montage where I’m running through there. There were so many people around and there was so much energy. You could feel everyone was expecting the done date, that we were almost finished. I can’t turn off, I need to fully and completely on up until that very last moment. I remember the second that we wrapped. I said at ComiCon that my favorite moment of ‘New Moon’ was when we wrapped and people took that the wrong way. It wasn’t like I was so glad to be done. It was the most memorable moment for me because I literally fell apart. I literally went [gasps]. I almost couldn’t handle it. It was the coolest experience that I’ve had on a movie. One of the coolest experiences I’ve had on a movie so far. Chris was there and it was something that we had together really. I just felt really good and that’s the most memorable experience.

Question: How attached have you become to Bella since starting this project?

Stewart: I’m very protective of her. I feel a shared ownership. It’s weird. If you were talk about the character in a way that was not at all thought out or flippant I would be right there to say that you didn’t know what you were talking about. I’m so defensive of her. So, yeah, I feel like I like her a lot. I think I can just say yes.

Question: Can you talk about a moment that stand out about making the next movie and what the third director is like?

Stewart: Yeah, ‘Eclipse’ is such that just like ‘New Moon’ it sort of starts and becomes a completely new movie. Just as soon as you think you’re going to get the same story it’s sort all of a sudden that it completely changes. Bella is much more back to herself. She’s content now. She’s comfortable and self-assured in a way that she wasn’t in ‘New Moon’. I think what I really love about ‘Eclipse’, what was interesting for me to explore was different levels of love and acknowledging that the ideals that you maybe had a little while ago aren’t true. Bella is innately honest. That’s something that I feel she is. In ‘Eclipse’ she lies to herself and she lies to everyone around her about the fact that she’s in love with Jacob, just not as much. It’s not that extra thing that you can’t really even describe. I loved watching the three of them. I loved playing with the three characters together. There’s literally a scene where Edward and Jacob who are mortal enemies are in a tent with a sleeping Bella in between them. It’s a ridiculous circumstance to find yourself in. We had so much to work with. Then the FX as well were even more. There’s a big battle that happens and that was more than we had to deal with on ‘New Moon’. So it was cool. I’ve always gotten to do things for really short periods of time. To follow a character this long surprises me every time. I can’t wait to do the fourth hone because I’m sure that I’m going to come in and say that everything I said this time was wrong, that I actually know Bella more now. And actually we have such established dynamics. The way that I know Bella deals with Edward, you sort of can’t mess with that. I know how she deals with him. I know how she deals with Jacob. I know how she deals with Charlie, her dad, and to have people come in and help that process out is only cooler. You always get a different perspective. So working with David [Slade] was like, ‘Okay, lets see what you’ve got, ‘ because he came up with a lot of stuff that I would’ve never thought of and he’s quite good at the whole technical aspect of movie making which is so completely over my head. So I got to feel safe that he had that handled and me and Rob and Taylor just sort of did our thing.

Question: Have you heard of a start date on the fourth film and I’ve heard it rumored that it might be two movies? Is there any truth to that?

Stewart: I don’t know.

Question: How do you relate to the idea of being immortal?

Stewart: I can only relate to that as Bella can because she is still human. I think that’s an interesting question for any one of the vampires because they actually [deal with that]. The way that I consider immortality from both my perspective as Kristen and my perspective as Bella is that it’s so completely unknown but that given the right motivating factor I’d be willing to explore it. She’s very willing to acknowledge that she doesn’t know but that she’s willing to give it a chance because of Edward, because she’s willing to sacrifice anything for him basically. A big thing for Bella is change. She’s so terrified of change because she’s been thrust into this world. It’s not a necessarily healthy way of looking at things because nothing is going away. I should be at work right now talking to Chris. This is ridiculous. Basically if you’re facing something that is completely unknown but you’re willing to take everything that is hard about it because of what you might get, that’s hope. That’s people. That’s why we get up every day. Immortality is almost more scary in our story than mortality. To live forever seems on the surface like a really cool thing but in our story it’s terrifying and in our story that means taking your soul or at least it does to Edward. Like the lines of personal belief and literally theology and your faith, what you think is going to happen after you die, these are things that we think about incessantly in the movie and things that Edward and Bella even argue about. I know that was really everywhere but there you go.

Question: How did you balance playing Bella and then playing a character like Joan Jett?

Stewart: I can only play characters that I feel like are real people and in a complete way and in such a whole way that if I fake any aspect of it I will have failed them and literally they’re slaughtered and they don’t get…it’s like these characters, they don’t exist anymore unless I do it. So in terms of approaching parts thank God I don’t have to do that. It just happens. Joan. I got to know Joan not only as her now but I feel like through footage and just through the script and the story, everything, I feel like I got to know who she was in such a whole way that it’s not about imitating even though I was really concerned about details being right, gestures and stuff. I really wanted to do a good impersonation but I also didn’t want it to be imitation. I wanted it to be natural. Playing Joan Jett had nothing to do with Bella. It was a small period of time that I had to do it but it was an opportunity that I jumped on and it was going to go away [if I hadn't]. I would’ve liked more time but like I said about walking on set, seeing all the characters and Rob and Taylor, it’s instantly easy to get right back into the right mindset. That’s vague but I what I do is so vague. Literally, what I do is so oddly ambiguous.

Question: You talked about Bella being a good role model for young girls, and yet she seems willing to sacrifice everything for Edward. She gets depressed about a love affair that goes flat and becomes an adrenaline junkie who’s trying to kill herself in a way. Are you worried about twelve or thirteen year old girls watching this and getting a terrible idea of what’s that like?

Stewart: It’s a very extreme story. I think people who take to this story need to be a little bit more mature than that. I think the only reason that they take to it is because they are. The only way that I can justify that, and maybe I’m an immature girl as well, I really feel like if you feel like you need to do it then you need to do it. It being anything. Then after you’re told that you’ve made a mistake and that you’re wrong, if you’re willing to say that you made a mistake and that you were wrong and that you’re going to try the next thing there’s nothing to be ashamed of there at all. Be extreme. Go for it. I think that’s the point. I know this is a movie about immortality but you live once. I’m also not preaching to anybody. I’m just standing behind the story. That’s what I think.

Rob's press conference

In The Twilight Saga: New Moon, the second chapter in Stephenie Meyer's phenomenally successful series, the romance between mortal and vampire reaches an intense and dangerous new level, and reveals a conflict that will haunt Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) as the story continues. Delving into the age-old rivalry between the Quileute tribe and the vampires, which comes to a head with her best friend, Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner), and her love, Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), Bella quickly learns that the supernatural world that she longs to become a part of will put her at more peril than ever before.

As the reluctant vampire who has millions of females swooning all over the world, Robert Pattinson has been working non-stop since signing on for the first Twilight film. Having just wrapped filming on The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, the actor also hopes to make Bel Ami and Unbound Captives, before returning for the final chapter, Breaking Dawn, tentatively set to film in the Fall of 2010.

At the film's press day, Robert Pattinson talking about getting used to life with the world watching your every move.

Q: What has this past year been like for you? How are you dealing with things? Are you more comfortable with everything now?

Rob: I guess it's inevitable that you become more comfortable. You still fight against some things. There's nothing really scary about the franchise itself. I like all the people I work with. I generally have very few disagreements about the script or anything while we're doing it, especially on New Moon. It just seemed so relaxed and easy. I've been on three different sets, since January 14th. I've had like three days off. I'm going to be on set all next year as well. I don't know what doing errands and things is really like 'cause I haven't had a sustained period of time where I've been off. I don't know how it's really changed. I still feel like I'm pretty much exactly the same, which is maybe not a good thing.

Q: Can you talk about working with Chris Weitz, and how the syllabus he gave the cast helped you?

Rob: I've never had that, from any director. It was 40 or 50 pages long, in addition to a bunch of letters and emails, trying to show that he was on the same page as us and was completely with us, in making the film. And, he didn't falter from that attitude, throughout the whole movie. It probably sounds ridiculous how much praise he gets. I was just with him and his wife in Japan, and she was even kind of sick of it. But, he is like a saint. He's one of the best people I've ever met, let alone directors. In a lot of ways, it shows in the movie. It's got a lot of heart, especially for a sequel in a franchise. He's just a great person to work with.

Q: Appearing in most of the movie as only a series of visions, did you feel disjointed from your cast mates at all? Did you wish you were in more of the film?

Rob: Those scenes were the hardest scenes. They weren't really, at the time, but after I saw the first cut of the movie, they changed them quite a bit in the edit and ADR. It's not Edward. It's a manifestation of Bella's loneliness and desperation. It was always very difficult. I asked Kristen, "How would you play it?" It's her opinion, so that was hard. As for being alone, I've always felt a little bit aloof as the character, throughout the whole series. I think that's how he is, so I didn't feel any different.

Q: What was it like to film that break-up scene between Edward and Bella?

Rob: There's something weird about it. One of the main things I felt doing that and what really helped was people's anticipation of the movie, and the fans of the series' idea about what Bella and Edward's relationship is and what it represents to them. It's some kind of ideal for a relationship. And so, just playing a scene where you're breaking up the ideal relationship, I felt a lot of the weight behind that. Also, it took away a fear of melodrama. It felt seismic, even when we were doing it. It was very much like the stepping out into the sunlight scene, at the end. You could really feel the audience watching, as you're doing it. It was a strange one to do.



Q: Have you ever had your heart broken, like Edward does when he leaves Bella?

Rob: No, I don't think so.

Q: What were your thoughts while you were filming that scene in Italy, where Edward reveals himself in the sunlight?

Rob: I just came to a realization about that scene. It was one of the closest moments I really felt to people's emotional attachment to the character because there were so many extras there who were just Twilight fans, who had flown in to be in the town square. Just taking that one step into the light, it's been the one moment, since the first Comic-Con, where I've felt the whole weight of anticipation and responsibility to all the people who are so obsessed with the stories. It was a good moment. It was very nerve-wracking, but I probably felt the most in character that I've ever felt, throughout the whole series, at that moment.

Q: If there was a fight between Edward and Jacob, who would win?

Rob: I don't know. I think it's actually a fact that Edward would win, if I read the books correctly. So, I guess I can hold onto that, for my ego.

Q: What about in a fight between you and Taylor Lautner?

Rob: I did hear, the other day, that Taylor had agreed to an interview where the interviewer was going to fight him. I don't think I'd ever agree to that. And, after looking at Taylor's martial arts videos from when he was like nine, I wouldn't really want to do anything. Maybe if I had some kind of weapon.

Q: What personality traits do you share with Edward?

Rob: I guess stubbornness, in some ways, about some things. He's pretty self-righteous. I get quite obsessive about things, and possessive as well.

Q: With what?

Rob: I have very, very specific ideas about how I want to do my work and how I want to be perceived, to the point of ridiculousness, sometimes. I don't listen to anyone else. That's why I don't have a publicist or anything. I can't stand it, if someone is trying to tell me to do something, which is maybe a mistake sometimes. I like being meticulous, and it's quite difficult, as an actor, to have that much control. The good thing about the Twilight series is that it does give you a lot more control over tiddly little things, which I want to have. I'm a control freak about it.

Q: Do you appreciate Edward more, with each movie? What are your favorite things about him?

Rob: When I read New Moon, it gave me ideas about how to play him in the first film. It's the one I connected to the most, and the one that humanized Edward for me the most, as well. In the first one, he still does remain, from beginning to end, an idealistic character. But, in the second one, he makes a mistake that's acknowledged by everybody, including himself. Also, he is totally undermined by more powerful creatures, and he's undermined emotionally by people as well. That's what humanized it.

Since I read that book, I always liked him as a character, and I've tried to play that same feeling throughout the films. He's the hero of the story that just refuses to accept that he's the hero, and I think that's kind of admirable.

Q: Love plays such a major part of these films, and so many fans want what happens on the screen to happen in your real life. How do you separate falling in love in real life with the women that you're cast opposite?

Rob: You've always got to remember that you're being paid. There's a lot of connotations that come with that. That's one of the major separations.

Q: Do you agree with the decision to make Edward appear as a vision and not just as a voice?

Rob: I was always very worried about that. Even before we started shooting, people were asking questions and saying, "Oh, are you worried that people will think there's not enough Edward in it?," but he's not in the book. I was so worried that it was just going to be random scenes. There was talk, at the beginning, of showing his backstory in South America, going around moping. That would have been terrifying for me, and I think it would have been catastrophic for the film as well.

I fought as far as I could to keep it as limited as possible, mainly because it just doesn't happen in the book. But then, at the same time, it's scary just to do a voice-over because it could end up being very cheesy. I guess there was a medium. I'm not just there. I was supposed to be playing this vision and, if you play it as realistically as possible, it becomes an interesting thing to try to figure out. It was interesting for me, at the time.

Q: How did you fight for that?

Rob: I just talked to Chris. He wasn't ever going to just do things for the sake of doing them. He was always on the side of the story. Even since it's been edited, there were loads and loads of the apparition sequences cut out. A lot of them, Chris cut out without me saying. But, when I was doing ADR, I was saying, "It will be more interesting and mystical if you cut out more of these shots. It becomes more eerie and more realistic, the less of these visions you have." Just having head-on shots makes it something other than a vision. It becomes a super-imposed image, which is not interesting.

Q: This franchise has made you a bankable leading man. How has that changed your career, and where do you want to be in five years?

Rob: I don't know. I've only done one movie outside of the series, which was Remember Me. That's going to be out sometime next year. But, even that, I did with the same studio. I'm still a little bit blind, as to what my actual economic viability is, outside of the series, but it's definitely different. You get offered stuff that you never would have dreamed of getting offered before, but that's scary as well 'cause you don't have to audition for anything. You're just like, "I don't want to do a movie just 'cause it gets made."

It's a scary situation to be in, in a lot of ways. You have to question yourself a lot more. Before Twilight, I did any movie that I got and tried to make the best of it afterwards. Now, you're expected to come into the movie and provide not only economic viability, but a performance as well. People are like, "You can't just mess around. We're employing you to be a star and an actor." It's difficult and it's scary.

Q: Isn't that what you dream about when you start out in the business?

Rob: You do. When you haven't gotten a big movie behind you and you're not bankable, everyone is like, "He's not bankable enough," so you can't get the roles that you want to get. And then, when you do, especially with a movie like this where there's a perceived specific audience, people start thinking, "Oh, you need to get in with this audience. You need to do this or that. You need to look a certain way." There are some limitations to it, whereas when no one is watching your movies and you get a part, you can do whatever the hell you want. That's just the way it is. So, there are good and bad points, either way.

Q: With everything that you've got going on now, how do you keep your life from just being a blur?

Rob: It is just a blur. There are random moments which stand out, but I've been working so much this year that it's almost like living in an alternate reality. The hours on a film set are so long that you're doing doctor hours, and every doctor that I've ever spoken to says the same thing, that you have no idea what's going on, other than working. You're away from your family and friends, and all that stuff.

Q: With all of the fan encounters that you've had, has there been anything that's just made you laugh?

Rob: Yeah, a lot of the time. Recently, I have less direct interaction with people because there's way more security and stuff on set. But, I always find it funny when older people come up. There was a woman who came up to me the other day who must have been in her 90's. It's very unusual. And, they say exactly the same things as 12-year-old girls. That is kind of bizarre.

Q: When you are shooting the more romantic things, what goes through your head?

Rob: It's weird. I keep getting told by people, "Pump up all the stuff about the action, so the guys will go and see it," but it's ridiculous. It's like saying that guys can't appreciate romance. I don't think you can say that about Gone with the Wind. I've watched Titanic and I didn't think, "Oh, this is a girl's film."

Especially in New Moon, and actually in the whole series, I've never played it thinking, "Oh, I'm in a series of girls' films and I'm doing something just for girls." I don't feel like I'm doing an animated Tiger Beat, every week. I like doing romantic scenes. I felt like a lot of the storyline in New Moon is very heartbreaking and true. I didn't think I was doing something, just for the sake of romance. I thought, in a lot of ways, that it was a really sad story.

Q: Are you a romantic person, in real life? What is the most romantic thing you've ever done?

Rob: I haven't done that many romantic things, in my life.

Q: Have you ever serenaded somebody?

Rob: Oh, no! I don't think that would ever be romantic. You need to have so much balls to do that. Jesus Christ! I actually can't think of a single romantic thing I've ever done. That's terrible.

Q: Have you ever given anyone flowers?

Rob: Yeah, I did. I put a flower in someone's locker when I was 15 years old. This girl, called Maria. Maybe I was 14. She actually thought it was from someone else, and the other guy claimed it as well, which was just great.

Q: What was it like watching Taylor transform physically?

Rob: I didn't see Taylor until just a little bit before we started shooting, so when he came back, I had the same reaction as everybody else. I was like, "Now I have to go to the gym."

Q: What has it been like to develop the romantic triangle?

Rob: It was weird because I hardly did any scenes with Taylor. We just did the scenes at the beginning and the scenes at the end, and he had his entire storyline develop without me being around, which is interesting because I had no idea where his performance was going. It wasn't really a competition or anything. It was independent. Whereas, in Eclipse, we did scenes together, all the time, with Bella. It really shows the dynamic in that film.

Q: Who is your favorite movie vampire of all time, and why?

Rob: I don't really know. I always think of the wrong people. I'll be like, "Ethan Hawke in Interview with a Vampire," and someone will say, "He's not the vampire." There's a bunch. I actually really like Wesley Snipes (in Blade). I think he's great.

Q: What's the weirdest or funniest thing you've ever read or heard about yourself?

Rob: Recently, some magazine had on the cover that I was pregnant. I was just like, "Wow!" And, it was without a hint of irony or anything. I didn't really know what to make of that one. I don't even know if that qualifies as libelous because they can just say, "Well, it's obviously fiction," but it's written in a non-fiction magazine. I saw a couple comments under the article saying, "That's why he always wears jackets. He always wears layers to hide it."

Q: How do you maintain the balance of letting your fans and the public know who you are, outside of just being Edward, but also keep your private life private?

Rob: I think you just do it through doing jobs. It's such a risky thing, doing interviews. I try to limit the amount of interviews I do. No one is that interesting, especially when you're not really saying anything. And, I don't particularly want to be some kind of character in society. So, I guess the only thing you can do is do jobs and see if people respond to that.

But, I'm always holding onto the fact that I don't really know who I am, so hopefully I won't compartmentalize myself because of that. I'm just completely ignorant of the whole thing. I've never really struggled with anything, up until recently. I've got to stop being so self-depreciating 'cause people are starting to believe it. They'll be like, "That guy is an idiot," so I've tried to stop doing that.

Q: Was it a big shock to have Bryce Dallas Howard on the set of Eclipse, instead of Rachelle Lefevre?

Rob: Yeah, it was a shock, but she's lovely. She's really, really nice.

Q: Have you been told a tentative time that you might film Breaking Dawn?

Rob: I think the tentative for Breaking Dawn is Fall of next year. I think. They may well change that.

Q: What movies have you committed to in 2010?

Rob: Depending on how things go, I'm doing a movie called Bel Ami in February, which is an adaptation of a Guy de Maupassant novel. And, I hope I'm doing a Western with Rachel Weisz and Hugh Jackman, called Unbound Captives, sometime around there as well. They've got to try to work around everybody's schedules and stuff.

Q: Who do you play in Unbound Captives?

Rob: I'm playing a kid who is kidnapped by the Comanches, when he was four years old, and he's brought up by them. His mother spends her entire life trying to find me and my sister, and when she finds us, we can't remember who she is or anything about the Western culture that we grew up in. They speak Comanche, the whole movie. You can't really be more different from Edward.

Q: Is that why you responded to it?

Rob: No. I actually sign on to that after I had done Twilight, in the summer, just a couple of months after I finished. It was really before anything had happened, so I wasn't really thinking about it. It was just a cool script and it reminded me, in a lot of ways, of Giant, which is one of my favorite movies. I think that's why I responded to it.

Q: Is James Dean one of your favorite actors?

Rob: One of, yeah.

Q: Are you going to have to learn Comanche for your role?

Rob: Yeah.

Q: Have you had time for your music?

Rob: I'm trying to.

Taylor's press conference

If you’re a fan of the “Twilight” franchise, you’re probably counting the days untill November 20th. That’s because in just a few weeks, the second installment in the worldwide phenomenon, “The Twilight Saga: New Moon”, is going to be released. So to help promote the film, yesterday, here in Los Angeles, Summit Entertainment held a massive press junket that had the entire cast and the filmmakers talking to reporters from around the world. That means you can expect to see tons of interviews with your favorite cast members on every website you read and on every TV channel.

Due to how many interviews the cast is doing, I’m not waiting till the week of release to post who I spoke to yesterday. So after the jump you can read a transcript of the press conference Taylor Lautner did yesterday. He talked about how he got in shape for the role, the stunt work, what he has coming up, working with the cast, and he answers the big question: in a no holds barred fight who would win, Jacob or Edward. Take a look:

Question: Did you ever feel like you were ever really in danger of not getting this role? Did you use steroids?

Lautner: Definitely not on your second question. And honestly, I knew where my character went in ‘New Moon’ and that’s all I tried to stay focused on. I couldn’t control things outside, I couldn’t control the media. But I could control what I was doing to portray Jacob Black correctly. So that’s what I stayed focused on the whole entire time.

Question: Did that start with going to the gym?

Lautner: Absolutely. Yeah, Jacob transforms a lot in ‘New Moon.’ Not only physically, but mentally and emotionally as well. So it was a matter of getting to the gym and eating the right foods and a lot of it. But also, reading and studying the book and my character over and over and over again so I could have his character down as well. Because he changes in many many different ways.

Question: Can you talk about those changes?

Lautner: Well when he transforms, basically my job was to continue what I started in ‘Twilight,’ which was this extremely happy, friendly, outgoing guy. Best friends with Bella. And I had to continue that for the first half of the film, but as soon as I transform, I snap and I become a completely different person. I’m dealing with my issues and it’s really hard for me.

Question: Would you talk about scenes where you show off your physique?

Lautner: I start laughing so hard every time I see that scene. ‘Oh, you’re bleeding? Okay, let me fix it.’ It’s so embarrassing. Yeah, I mean, here’s the thing. There’s a reason that he’s not wearing clothes all the time. One, when he transforms, all his clothes get shredded, he can’t help it. And when he goes into the woods to get something to put so he’s not naked, it’s just a ripped pair of jean shorts. And he’s also hot, he’s one hundred eight degrees. So that’s another reason. And the thing is, I love this character, I love this story and putting on the weight and not wearing much clothing was required by the role. A year from now, if I love a story and I love a character that requires me to lose forty pounds, I’m ready to do it.

Question: Like Tarzan?

Lautner: Possibly.

Question: Could you be more specific? I want to do whatever it was you did.

Lautner: Oh boy. Putting the pressure on me now. I was in the gym about five days a week, because it’s important to get your recovery time. And not over working yourself, because if you’re overworking yourself, I was trying to put on weight. And if I was in the gym, I’d be burning the calories I’m trying to take in. The most important thing was the eating side. Everybody thinks it was the actual getting in the gym, that was easy. I was motivated, so getting in the gym was easy for me. But, the eating was pretty hard. It was just eating a lot, we found out that I had to consume at least thirty two hundred calories a day just to maintain. And I’m not trying to maintain, I’m trying to gain. So I had to eat more than that. And putting something in your mouth every two hours. And I’m busy. I’m downtown LA going from meeting to meeting, so there’s not time for me to be eating so I literally would have to carry a little baggie full of beef patties, raw almonds, sweet potatoes, so it’s not like every two hours I’m eating ice cream. It was difficult.

The Twilight Saga New Moon movie poster The Wolf Pack 1.jpgQuestion: Did you have a personal trainer?

Lautner: I do, I definitely had one that helped me out.

Question: Were you ever concerned about overshadowing Edward in your performance? Was that something you had to temper?

Lautner: Well thank you very much, that’s good to hear. I think it just depends on what kind of girl you are, what kind of guy you like. Edward and Jacob are complete opposite guys. They’re hot and cold. Literally. Forget that. So yeah, I mean it’s just I personally love Jacob and Bella’s relationship. How they begin with best friends and it starts to grow into something more and more. Both guys are in love with Bella. Both guys are always gonna be there for Bella. And they’re protective. And I mean I just think it’s what kind of guy you like.

Question: Can you talk about the stunt work and the wire work?

Lautner: The physical side was really fun. Some of it was challenging. I’ve never ridden a dirt bike before and yes, I rode the dirt bike for a total of five seconds in the film. But for those five seconds, I had to look as cool as possible. So it did require a lot of practice just for safety wise so they could let me do it. And the wire work, like when I run up the side of her house and that whole thing. The wires were there just so if I slipped and fell I didn’t face plant into the ground. But it was definitely challenging, that stunt was really complicated and you need to be on. I’m using like a little plug in the side of the wall just to take off from and jump so it’s really complicated. And it required a lot of practice. Every single weekend I would practice that stunt for three hours a day and it was the last thing we filmed. The bonding with the werewolves was very fun, those guys were characters. They’re a lot of fun - did they talk to you? Oh my, I’m sure this was a fun room. They’re fun guys and what’s so great is that they each fit their character perfectly so on set, we had a blast when they were on set. They made the set so exciting.

Question: They were talking about getting a wolfpack tattoo, are you in?

Lautner: I don’t know, I’d have to think about. I’ll have to discuss it with my pack.

Question: The media seems to love you, shirtless or not. What’s the strangest thing that’s ever been written about you? How do you let the fans know who you really are outside of Jacob?

Lautner: Honestly, I try and stay away from what’s been written about me, because if you let that stuff get to you and it’s not true it can drive you crazy. One thing that I have heard recently which is not true, I didn’t say it, is that I believe I was quote saying ‘I will never take my shirt off for a movie again.’ I didn’t say that. If I have to, if the character requires it, I will. Who knows in ten years I might do that. And like I said earlier, if the character requires me to lose forty pounds, I’ll do it. It’s just all what the character requires. So that was interesting to see. What was the second part?

Question: How do you balance the fans and the public with your real persona?

The Twilight Saga New Moon movie image.jpgLautner: It’s difficult, it is. It’s definitely important to stay true to yourself and stay close to those people who you were close to before. Family, your friends, and just not let that outside stuff get to you.

Question: How do you prepare yourself to be an idol to teen girls?

Lautner: I don’t think there’s anyway to prepare yourself for this phenomenon just because none of us expected it. When we were filming ‘Twilight,’ we didn’t expect anything. We were just filming a movie that we wanted the fans to enjoy. And then it kinda just blew into this whole other world. So I don’t think there’s a way to prepare for that, but yeah you could definitely say I felt a little bit of pressure trying to bring Jacob’s character and Jake and Bella’s relationship alive for the fans. Because this movie definitely develops their relationship and that sets up the love triangle so it’s a very important story.

Question: What is it like to look around see all the posters with your face on it? Is it strange?

Lautner: Yeah of course. I don’t think there’s a way to ever get used to it. It’s not normal to drive down the street and see your face up there. It’s ‘Twilight,’ it comes with the job.

Question: Is it cool though?

Lautner: [laughing] Possibly. It comes with the job.

Question: You’re filming with Taylor Swift. Has she written a song about you? Would you like her to?

Lautner: That’s a scary thing. I don’t know if she has. I have no idea. That movie was a lot of fun and it comes out pretty soon, it comes out really soon after ‘New Moon’ does. It’s gonna be fun there was a lot of fantastic actors in it, I got to work with legendary director Gary Marshall and Taylor was great as well. So I’m excited to go and see that.

Question: What’s it called?

Lautner: Valentine’s Day.

The Twilight Saga New Moon movie image Taylor Lautner.jpgQuestion: So it’ll be out early next year?

Lautner: Yeah, in February.

Question: Was it hard with the schedule?

Lautner: It was hard, yeah. We had a very short break between ‘New Moon’ and ‘Eclipse’ and I knew that I wanted to be part of this film somehow, just to work with Gary and then the entire cast so I was able just to squeeze a short thing in quickly.

Question: What about you and Taylor Swift?

Lautner: What about us?

Question: Is that just a publicity thing? Are you two dating?

Lautner: Well the very funny thing is that all of you have seen every single move I make so I guess I can leave that up to you to decide.

Question: How much does wearing the wig inform your character? Is getting rid of it freeing?

Lautner: Yeah, I had a sigh of relief when we brought this up. It was very freeing. It not only was uncomfortable, okay. One? I’d look at myself in the mirror and I wouldn’t be able to recognize myself, it was so weird to see that hair on me. Two, it was very itchy, hot, whatever. Annoying. But it also, it slowed down the filming process like whenever it got caught in my eye or whatever, we’d have to cut, start over. It got caught in my mouth and I’m spitting hair out in the middle of the scene. I’m coming this close to kissing Bella and I’m like ’sorry, I gotta spit my hair out.’ So it was annoying, so yeah. The day we were able to - we actually had a picture wrap on the wig. You know, the crew claps for you at the end or whatever. My last day of filming with the wig, we ripped it off, held it up in the air and were like ‘that’s a picture wrap on Taylor’s wig.’ And the whole crew did a standing ovation and it was amazing, it was great to chop that thing off.

Question: There’s practically an international countdown for your eighteenth birthday. Have you given any thought to that day?

Lautner: I haven’t even begun. We are so busy, it’s like we take one day at a time. I don’t even know what room in this hotel I’m going to after this. That’s very interesting, I wasn’t aware of this countdown. It’s a big day. It is a big day. So yeah, as soon as I finish this, maybe I’ll think about that.

The Twilight Saga New Moon movie image Taylor Lautner (1).jpgQuestion: What is a really sweet fan encounter you can tell us about?

Lautner: Man, we have fans all the time that will just burst into tears and that just - yeah, it’s just moving. It must mean so much for them to meet us and it’s an amazing feeling to know you can touch somebody in that way. It also makes you sad, it’s like, ‘don’t cry, stop crying!’ You don’t know what to do, it’s like ‘it’s okay!’ It’s hard, you feel bad for them but you’re also happy at the same time.

Question: Would it help in your real life to turn into a werewolf?

Lautner: Oh boy. I don’t know, I guess when you’re younger and you’re in school being picked on by some bullies. Get into a fight with your little sister, no. I don’t know, that’s a good question. I don’t think that would be a good situation. It could get very, very ugly.

Question: Who would win between Shark Boy and Jacob?

Lautner: That’s a good question. At the moment, I’d have to say Jacob. We’re pretty strong. And fast.

Question: What’s it like to say goodbye to Edi [Gathegi] and Rachelle [Lefevre]? Who else are you close to into the cast? Are you close to Bryce [Dallas Howard]?

Lautner: It was definitely sad to see both of them go. All of us, the whole entire cast loves both of them. They were great people, but Bryce is amazing. She is extremely talented and she’s a great girl as well. So we’re definitely lucky to be surrounded by an amazing cast. I wouldn’t be able to pick one [that'd I'm close to]. If I were to start, I’d end up listing the whole cast. I do spend a lot of time with Kristen because all of my scenes are involved with her, so Kristen and I are very close. I guess I’m close with Rob too because we spend a lot of time together as well. But this great thing about this series is that the whole entire cast is so close and it would be a nightmare if we weren’t. It would be impossible to make this series because the characters are so tight, so we’re really thankful that we all get along so well.

Question: What’s it like working/living in Canada? Tell us about the next movie as well?

The Twilight Saga New Moon movie image Kristen Stewart.jpgLautner: Canada’s great. I’ve spent a while there, I’ve spent the six months there this year. The first time we were there, it was really rainy and dark and cloudy and it was snowing and that was difficult weather wise. But this past time filming ‘Eclipse,’ it was beautiful. It’s just one of the most beautiful cities, I’m definitely gonna miss it a lot. Filming ‘Eclipse’ - Eclipse was my favorite book so I was really excited to start filming the movie. I just love that it’s the height of the love triangle. ‘Twilight’ develops Edward and Bella’s relationship, ‘New Moon’ develops Jacob and Bella’s and in ‘Eclipse,’ the three of them are physically together. It has one of my favorite scenes ever in that movie - the tent scene. Edward is forced, I mean I guess it was a choice of his, to let me sleep in the same sleeping bag as Bella, just so she doesn’t die because she’s shivering to death. And I’m warm and I’m the only thing at that moment that can keep her alive. It’s a funny scene, there’s a lot of ribbing going on between Jacob and Edward. It’s gonna be a really good movie. And visually stunning. David Slade is incredible visually.

Question: Behind the camera, how cold was it? Talk about the shivering.

Lautner: Yeah, the challenging thing is Jacob is supposed to be extremely hot so he’s not supposed to feel cold at all. And the worst scene for that was the rain scene or the break-up scene, where Bella first sees Jacob after his transformation. We’re standing on that little hill right behind Jacob’s house and it was thirty five degrees and it was pouring rain on top of us and just not regular rain, rain tower rain which comes straight from the springs. And the scene was very long, it took four minutes to film the scene and we film that same scene all day long. So it was really, really rough. It was hard. And as soon as we’d call cut, we’d run over to a heater quick and wrap ourselves in blankets and we’d have like two minutes before we’d have to go do another take. So the weather was definitely extremely challenging and I just had to take myself to another world so during the scene I wasn’t sitting there shivering. It was hard, sometimes I’d catch myself and I’d have to stop.

Question: Did you catch a cold?

Lautner: No, I didn’t, I’m really surprised by that actually. I was, for sure I was gonna get sick.

Question: Do you speak any Spanish at all?

Lautner: I don’t speak much Spanish. I took it in school, yeah. That was about it. And I think it’s just Jacob’s personality, he’s really outgoing, he’s random and it definitely doesn’t have anything to do with his character. Just the fact that he’s friendly and you never know what to expect. I didn’t speak any Spanish in ‘Eclipse’ so that was a bummer. But at the end of this one, I did speak a little bit of Quileutes, when I was leaning in to kiss her in the kitchen. No, I’m not going to tell you what I said. I leave that to you to figure out. There are only like four people left in the world who actually speak Quileutes, so we were able to talk to one of these ladies and it was really interesting.

The Twilight Saga New Moon movie image Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner.jpgQuestion: What did you think of your role when you finally got to the wolf on screen? How are you trying to relish the end of your teenage years?

Lautner: I’m having the time of my life, so it couldn’t be a better end to my teenage years. I’m doing what I love and I’m spending time with the people I love. So it’s great, I’m definitely never, ever going to forget this. [When I first saw the wolf], I was blown away. I was really excited. Because when I’m filming the famous trailer shot where I’m running through the film and jump up and transform mid-air, I’m attached to wires and I’m running and I let the wires pull me up the air and they jerk me to a stop and I just have to freeze there and let them convert my body into a CGI wolf and the whole time I’m like ‘I hope I look cool.’ And yeah, after I saw the final version last week, after I saw the wolves it was amazing. And the fight scene that comes right after that, the fight between Jacob and Paul Wolf, it was so cool. I thought they were extremely powerful and looked very real.

Question: No holds barred fight, who would win, Jacob or Edward. Same thing with you and Rob?

Lautner: Oh man. I don’t know between me and Rob. He actually does a lot of boxing in his time off, so it might be a good match-up. Jacob, we were actually discussing this on set, it’s funny we were like ‘who would win in a fight between Jacob and Edward,’ because there’s a scene outside Bella’s house where Edward grabs my shoulder and he’s mad at me and Jacob doesn’t take that. So he takes his arm and rips it off. And at that moment, Jacob would transform into a wolf and we’re having this discussion that got really deep, we’re like ‘if I were to poof into a wolf right now, what would happen? Who would win?’ I don’t know, our discussion points were like ‘usually, we’re with our pack so if I’m without my pack, am I gonna be weaker?’ So I honestly don’t know. That discussion is still up in the air. We should probably get Stephenie Meyer on the line and ask her.

Question: How does being part of this phenomenon transform you?

Lautner: Really, I’d have to say the biggest transformation would be my schedule. I’m really really busy, but it’s a lot of fun. I just got back from South America yesterday and here I am today for three days and then I go to Europe. So I’m really really busy but it’s been a lot of fun. It’s been a great experience, I’m really excited to be part of this thing.

Question: Have Robert and Kristen given you advice on how to enjoy this moment? Any advice at all?

Lautner: No, I mean I think most of our advice and talking and stuff has just pretty much stayed on a business level. And that’s the great thing with our relationship, is where all of us are completely open and not afraid to hold anything back, we talk about our characters together and we have meetings and we discuss our characters and it’s really, really helpful. But we haven’t gotten into life talks yet.

Kristen Stewart Fights Diabetes with Sugar Ray



Getting an early start to the day, Kristen Stewart teamed up with boxing legend Sugar Ray Leonard at Dodgers Stadium in Los Angeles on Sunday (Novemebr 8).

The “New Moon” actress and her boxing counterpart happened to be on-hand to cut the tape at the annual “Walk to Cure Diabetes” charity event.

Rob and Kristen talk w. good ole Ted from E!

After three extremely busy days of promoting New Moon here in Los Angeles, Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner now kick off their European photo calls, starting in Paris.

Oh, the romantic possibilities!

Before heading to Europe, though, Robsten did a very good job of evading photogs and possibly stealing a night for themselves. It's just more of the covert cuddling game they love to play so much—or is it?

Rob was driven out of the Four Seasons Hotel late Saturday night, where, coincidentally, Kristen (who was staying at L'Ermitage Hotel down the street) was spotted leaving at almost the exact same time.

There's speculation that the two went to K.Stew's parents' house, but luckily for Robsten, they were able to successfully lose the paps trying to tail their vehicles.

So how are Kristen and Rob balancing their celebrity and private life? We were able to ask Robsten this separately over the weekend, at the Four Seasons.

Check it out:

Having such an avid fan base, where and how do you draw the line between what the public wants to know about your private life and actually keeping it private?

"I don't think that anyone can get a handle [on that]," Kristen told us. "It's like as soon as I stopped trying to control everything that came out of my mouth and every picture that came out, that's when I became so much happier and it was so much easier to deal.

"I've just grown into not having to care so much and to not try to think that I'm going to be able to plan out the way that everyone perceives me... I'm going to own what I'm going to own. I'm always going to keep what's important to me in mind and I completely understand, considering that we're playing characters that are so coveted by so many people. I just sort of have to not think about it."

Heart this girl. You can tell she really does think a lot about what to say, but doesn't say things just because she thinks she should. Kristen speaks with as much serious intensity as she plays her roles.

Now, on to Rob:

How do you maintain the balance of letting your fans and the public know who you are—outside of just being Edward—but also keeping your private life private?

"I think you just do it through doing jobs," Rob says. "It's such a risky thing, doing interviews. I try to limit the amount of interviews I do. No one is that interesting, especially when you're not really saying anything. And I don't particularly want to be some kind of character in society.

"So, I guess the only thing you can do is do jobs and see if people respond to that. But I'm always holding on to the fact that I don't really know who I am, so hopefully I won't compartmentalize myself because of that. I'm just completely ignorant of the whole thing. I've never really struggled with anything, up until recently. I've got to stop being so self-deprecating 'cause people are starting to believe it. They'll be like, 'That guy is an idiot,' so I've tried to stop doing that."

You hear that, everybody? The "we're going to do as we please" game is majorly on.

Robsten's denying nothing. They're just owning their right to keep it real. And private. And we love 'em!
