1. Having a persona people recognize, it's the thing that probably gets you paid the most - but it's also the thing that virtually every actor in the world doesn't want. 'Cause, like, no one would believe me if I wanted to play something ultra-realistic, like a gangster or something. 2. I always get carried away when I'm kissing. I just go nuts! Walking away after it is the strangest moment for me. It's embarrassing - not knowing what to say to each other.
3. I have been lucky, of course. Like, last year, if I went out, I'd have to fight to chat someone up. This year, I look exactly the same, which is really scruffy, and yet lots of people seem to have just changed their minds and decided I'm really sexy.
4. My little cousin tells me I look like Magneto so I guess that's who I should probably play.
4. My little cousin tells me I look like Magneto so I guess that's who I should probably play.
5. I wanted to play piano in restaurants in the south of France. I went there on holiday once and I saw this guy playing in an old tuxedo. He was all disheveled, with a whisky glass on the piano. I thought that was the coolest thing. So what's happened to me with "Twilight" isn't really what I'd planned.
6. I have very, very low expenditures, but still I manage to spend it all. I guess Hot Pockets are more expensive than I thought.
7. I'm not one of these guys who's constantly in a relationship, not at all.
8. Sometimes just when I say hello the right way, I'm like: "Whoa, I'm so cool".
9. My dad says he likes to bask in my glow.
10. This thing with everyone knowing you, it's weird, because people have this one-sided relationship where they look at your picture and feel they know you more than someone they actually know. I don't really know myself that well.
11. I have so much residue crap in my hair from years and years of not washing it and not having any sense of personal hygiene whatsoever. Even today, I go into these things where I'm supposed to be this sexy guy or whatever, and I'm literally asking: "If I get plumes of dandruff on me, can you just brush it off?"

12. I don't know if I could ever really be cast in a heartthrob role apart from "Twilight," which I didn't really know was a heartthrob role. I really don't feel I am one.
13. I haven't really decided to be an actor yet! I started doing plays when I was about 15 or 16. I only did it because my dad saw a bunch of pretty girls in a restaurant and he asked them where they came from and they said drama group. He said: "Son, that is where you need to go."

14. I never really considered myself attractive. I was always kind of gangly in school.
15. I keep forgetting I'm speaking in an American accent sometimes. The dangerous thing is that you end up forgetting what your real accent is after a while! It's really strange; I've never done a job in an American accent before.
16. I'm afraid of buying a house or anything, 'cause if there's one paparazzi outside for one day, then they'll never leave.
17. I started doing a paper round when I was about 10. I started earning 10 pounds a week and then I was obsessed with earning money until I was about 15. (Talking about his first job)
18. I'm, like, a compulsive eater. I'm going to be so fat when I'm older, it's ridiculous.
19. When I was flying to Rome, we flew over London; I felt like bursting into tears. It's part of me, so I can't leave London behind for good.
20. 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.
21. Up until I was 12 my sisters used to dress me up as a girl and introduce me as "Claudia"! Twelve was a turning point as I moved to a mixed school and then I became cool and discovered hair gel.

22. It's strange, somebody asked for my autograph the other day. Because I finished school and I'm not really doing anything at the moment, I was just kind of aimlessly wandering around London and these two guys who were about 30 came up and asked for my autograph. I was really quite proud at the time, and they wanted to take photos and stuff. And then they were sort of wandering around and I was kind of wandering around and I bumped into them about three times, and every single time their respect for me kept growing and growing and growing.
23. I aspire to be Jack Nicholson. I love his every single mannerism. I used to try and be him in virtually everything I did, I don't know why. I watched One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest when I was about 13, and I dressed like him. I tried to do his accent. I did everything like him. I think it kind of stuck with me.
24. They (Barnes Theatre Club) were a very good group, and for some reason when I finished the backstage thing, I just decided to that I should try to act. So I auditioned for Guys and Dolls and got a little tiny part as some Cuban dancer or something and then in the next play I got the lead part, and then I got my agent. So I owe everything to that little club.
25. Thats the worst thing, I don't really care if people say I'm a bad actor, I can like work on that, but if they just say that he's ugly thats just like "oh…really?
26. Sometimes I think: "To hell with acting," and then I realize I could be working at a shoe shop, acting is much cooler.

26. Sometimes I think: "To hell with acting," and then I realize I could be working at a shoe shop, acting is much cooler.
27. I don't know. I think he's (Daniel Radcliffe), just in real life, he's just so far superior to me in terms of desirability, so he didn't really have much of a competition with me. So there wasn't really much joking around. I'd probably cry if he did. If I was Katie, I would definitely go out with him because he's rich and famous, and I'm not really.
28. I'm really afraid of getting hit by cars, like terrified of it. I'm terrified of crossing streets. I'm also very accident-prone…I think people aim for me.

29. My first kiss was when I was 12.
30. The girly movie I secretly love is Pippy Longstockings.
31. My dream job is being a pianist.
32. If I could trade places with anyone in the world it would be with someone who has lots of power like George Bush.
33. My worst habit is speaking too much.

33. My worst habit is speaking too much.
34. The stuff I find attractive in women I always regret finding attractive. I always like a kind of madness in a woman…I like it when they hate me right from the beginning.
35. I don't really see the point in washing your hair. If you don't care if your hair's clean or not then why would you wash it?
36. I don't even have people's phone numbers. I almost don't want to have a girlfriend in this environment.
37. Last year I couldn't even have a date, but now it seems that girls have changed their opinion about me.
38. When you are followed constantly by fanatic fans, you try to eliminate the times you come up against them.That's why I hide myself sometimes.

39. The Volterra scene, where I have to step into the light. There were many extras and many fans there. Some fans travelled across the world to be there. I felt a huge sense of responsibility, being in front of so many that are so obsessed with this story. It was nerve wrecking, but I never felt closer to the character before this. (On his favourite scene from New Moon)
40. Recently a magazine had on the cover that I was pregnant. I was just like: "Wow!" It was without a hint of irony. I didn't know what to make of that one. I saw a couple of comments under the article saying: "That's why he always wears jackets. He always wears layers to hide it". (On strange stories written about him)
41. I wouldn't be able to say. I don't think I'm much of one. It's funny, it is the secret to any guy - if people find him unattractive or whatever you just get Stephenie Meyer to tell the world, to put on her Web site that this guy is now attractive and everybody changes their minds. (whether he thought he was a sexy man-beast)
42. Before Twilight, I did any movie that I got offered. But now fans expectations have doubled and I just can't mess around. Today, I can't afford to be a part of any movie. I have to question a lot more now before I take a project. After all I can't disappoint my fans.

43. I've really gotten into hip-hop again recently. I'm reliving my childhood. I've been listening to a lot of Wu-Tang Clan. I always wanted to be a rapper when I was younger. That's always what I wanted to be before I started acting. (How he rediscovered his love for rap music)
44. I was thinking that he's just a normal guy who got bitten by someone. I guess I just tried to think, if you've been bitten by some guy when you're unconscious and you wake up and you're eternal and you have super-strength and super-speed and you want to kill people and drink their blood and before that you're a perfectly normal 17-year-old. (Explaining what he had to think about, in the perspective of Edward Cullen from "Twilight", when he was isolating himself from the world)

(Explaining what he had to think about, in the perspective of Edward Cullen from "Twilight", when he was isolating himself from the world)
45. He's a poet, and very deep and profound. He's just extraordinarily troubled. (Describing his character Edward Cullen in "Twilight")
46. I kinda just approached it from the front. (On being asked how he approached the kissing scenes in "Twilight")
47. Thats kind of why I was kind of tortured before the casting. I read the book and was like "Well this is really dumb. It's just pointless, even going for it." (Explaining how he wasn't beautiful enough to portray Edward Cullen in "Twilight")
48. It was so cool... you had to walk through a restaurant kitchen to get up to the roofs but you could, like, walk along all the roofs... I didn't do anything for a year, I just sat on the roof and played music... it was like the best time I had ever had. (Talking about the living conditions when he lived with his best friend in London)
49. I thought that would be pretty cool, because it would make me take it seriously. Talking about the personal training program he had to do for "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire")
50. I was quite intimidated by Ralph Fiennes. I didn't really talk to him while I was doing Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and the only thing I did with him was when he stepped on my head. Then I went to this play and he was there. And this girl said: "you've worked with Ralph Fiennes haven't you, Robert?" and I was like: "well, no..." and Ralph said: "yes, I stepped on your head." And that was the extent of our conversation.
51. I get on really well with Katie, she's a really cool girl. (On Katie Leung)
51. I get on really well with Katie, she's a really cool girl. (On Katie Leung)
52. The day before the film was released, I was just sitting in Leicester Square, happily being ignored by everyone. Then suddenly strangers are screaming your name. Amazing. (Explaining the big change in his life after Harry Potter)
53. School reports were always pretty bad. I never ever did my homework. I always turned up for lessons as I liked my teachers but my report said I didn't try very hard.
54. My dad said to me the other day, I really am an artistic person. I was shocked as I never saw him as a creative. I think me and my sisters are living out that side of him as my sister is another creative person, she's a songwriter.

55. In a lot of ways, I was kind of crossing lines of what I thought I was comfortable doing. I had to do all this naked stuff. (Talking about being naked in his new role in Little Ashes)
56. I hope there is such a thing. I guess it would be quite scary to find a soul mate when you're young because you're probably going to mess it up.
57. I am now determined to do really weird parts but I think I overdo it in auditions so nobody really trusts me!

57. I am now determined to do really weird parts but I think I overdo it in auditions so nobody really trusts me!
58. I quite liked Sharkey and George and then there was a cartoon with rapper MC Hammer in it - Hammertime - I loved that cartoon, it was genius! They don't make cartoons like that anymore. (on his favorite cartoons as a kid)
59. I've changed so much. I'm not nearly as cocky as I was, I was a real prat for the first month. I didn't talk to anyone. I just drank coffee and told everyone I was 24 and this famous theatre actor just back from South Africa.
60. I have no idea. I think I would have just gone to university and would have kind of just done the average thing.

60. I have no idea. I think I would have just gone to university and would have kind of just done the average thing.
61. I walked out the wrong car door and started walking into the crowd. An interviewer said: "Give your best horror scream," and Stan did this great scream and I was too much of a wimp to do one. It was pathetic! (On his first red carpet experience)
62. Someone stole my shoelaces once from my shoes. I still wear them and never put laces in them - they're like my trademark shoes now.
62. Someone stole my shoelaces once from my shoes. I still wear them and never put laces in them - they're like my trademark shoes now.
63. I can't say I was. I wasn't not a fan. I hadn't read any of the books or anything. I read The Goblet of Fire when I was doing the other film, and I really liked that. I got through it in about two days. I'd say I'm a pretty big fan now. (On whether he was a Harry Potter fan before filming)
64. I knew the casting director from another movie which I did, and they wanted to see me for this part, but I was doing another movie over the casting period, so I ended up seeing Mike Newell and Mary Selway and Fiona Weir - who were casting at the time - before anyone else was seen for casting. And then, I went to do this other movie, and then the day I came back... I got a call back and basically, that's what happened. (On getting the part of Cedric)

And then, I went to do this other movie, and then the day I came back... I got a call back and basically, that's what happened. (On getting the part of Cedric)
66. I was actually having nightmares about it for months in advance, I went to Jasper Conran and picked out the most ridiculous, extravagant clothes - they looked really good in the shop. And then I put them on and I thought: you look such an idiot. (On the Harry Potter Premiere)
67. I've been using the fan websites as I was acting it, because they know so much about the books, and it's really helpful as a resource.
69. I think the most embarrassing part of that was just the normal dancing. When the rock band comes. I think there was two days where the crew was like: "Just dance, just dance.". So, you can't, in a club or whatever...That was really awkward.
71. I think the yule ball is more attractive to the girls who read it, I never really thought "Oh I get to go to the ball!"
72. There were a couple of times where you think you're swimming towards a guy with a breating apparatus and then you find its just some thing in the water and you're like (imitates freaking out) and then you just know what to do and they film your stupid face just screaming underwater and then everyone starts laughing and its just like, ahh, great.
74. Then I got a call the next day from the assistant director saying that they were putting me on a personal training program. I thought that would be pretty cool, because it would make me take it seriously. It was run by one of the stunt team, who are the most absurdly fit guys in the world. I can't even do 10 press ups. I did about three weeks of that, and in the end I think he got so bored of trying to force me to do it that he wrote it all down so that I could do it at home.
76. I hope I'm not that close to my character, I hate him, I used to hate everybody like Cedric in my school.
77. I sort of identify with him in a couple of ways. Generally, I am quite pleasant. I think he is too, and I think that is one of the basic similarities. Let's see, I've got blond hair, I am relatively sporty. But, I think he is a better person than me.
78. When I was doing scenes like when he's holding my body and stuff I was quite moved by what he was doing and because he's, well he's not that young anymore, but he was quite young, and I was really impressed by it.
80. Er no, I think Dan could steal anyone from me. If I was a girl I would pick Dan!
82. I was so concerned about looking cool, It's weird seeing them. They are the most famous kids, I kept calling them famous. They're on their way to becoming icons. I used to try to be moody and stuff. I'm really good friends with a lot of people from the film. It was a long time, I was doing it for 11 months.
83. I'm just a big, hard tool.
84. I was just taking out my trash and I had, like, 300 cans of Diet Coke. It was just like: "How did that happen?" I don't even remember buying them. I also like Cinnamon Toast Crunch. My addictions are pretty much the only things I consume.85. I spent a long time trying to figure out how to play (Edward's part) without making a fool out of myself. The whole book is written from Bella's perspective and she's in love with him. I mean, the guy can be anybody - he could be an alien - and you see past everything if you're in love with someone.
87. I've got a terrible memory - I end up repeating myself quite a lot. The only thing I can remember is that I'm going to repeat myself!
89. I guess I am quite shy and I also like to do things where I have a little time to think about what Im saying first. Im not very good at thinking before I open my mouth to speak. It has been known to get me in to trouble.
91. It would be one of the best things ever to get paid for handing out Simon Cowell-style insults for the day. I don't think he's rude, I think he's just painfully honest, which is what makes him so good. He must absolutely love his job, it can't be one you'd ever get bored with.
93. My home consists of three suitcases which I live out of. Everything is in there.
95. I definitely want to record an album, direct a film and start my own religion.
96. I do bear some similarities in the sense that I'm not good at romance. I also think I lack basic finesse when it comes to women. I give up too easily even if I'm very attracted to someone.
98. Every single time we had to do a threatening thing to each other, for one thing, you always have your shirt off, and so in the tent scene I literally grabbed your breast. And it's very difficult to remain in the moment. Also, in that tent scene, I can't really get over the fact that the world thought sounds like fart.
100. The more you are exposed, the more people irrationally hate you, I think we reached a point, a peak, with New Moon where the stories became so saturated into the culture that it started to feel normal. It's like the tabloids don't know what to write anymore because they've used up all their scandals.
102. It's weird, I think I've become a little less mal-coordinated in the last couple of years. I'm doing Water for Elephants now which there's quite a few active bits where I'm pulling around horses and stuff. I'm just like when was I suddenly becoming capable, because I definitely wasn't.
104. I think you'll see a lot of my crack in it (Bel Ami). But um, I think there's quite a lot of me to see. But I haven't seen anything yet, and it was very it's such a strange story. I think it will turn out being pretty interesting. But I have no idea about any of it yet.
106. Something about kneeling down, because I had to kneel down so much in the "Twilight" movies and it always looks really awkward. I've actually got quite long thighs and it doesn't work.
107. I would love to have Edward with really short hair. Its such a relief not having a big animal on my head most of the time.
109. It was recently. It happened while I was filming Water for Elephants in which my partner is Reese Witherspoon. We had a scene with elephants but there were so many paparazzi around that it was scaring the animals and it was impossible to film. Out of the blue, fans that were waiting for autographs had enough and circled around the paparazzi. Teens made big guys run away. It was unreal! I was pleased.
111. Already from the time that I was 18 they (Rob's two sisters) explained to me: "if you hadn't started styling your hair with gel, then you still would have always been one of these plain, boring people".
113. I think I've become more old-fashioned. I feel like Im already turning middle-aged now. Its quite nice to be doing a series of films (The Twilight Saga) that a lot of people think uphold positive virtues. Some people actually think the films are a good influence on their kids.
115. I'm glad that it's Bill Condon who's directing Breaking Dawn I love his stuff. I haven't seen the script yet but I am fearful about the series end. It's such a great security blanket. It's like a net. You can afford to make mistakes when you have another Twilight film to make. After that, I guess you're on your own.
117. I just kept telling everyone why I needed to take my shirt off in a scene, and everyone else had to think of reasons why I shouldn't. No, I don't think so, Edward is much more chaste than that. Then I'd say: "No, seriously, I would like to wear a really tight tank top and have my belly come out of the bottom. And have some sweat on it, too".
119. It's funny now, like trying to socialize with people. There's this cautiousness about people which I just find really weird.
121. Tai was the best actor I ever worked with in my life. I cried when the elephant was wrapped. I never cried when anyone else was wrapped.
122. Kristen is very focused on being an actress. I mean, that's what she is she's an actress. Whereas I just don't really know.
124. I don't know what's wrong with me. My brain doesn't work anymore. I haven't any memory. I can't write. All I can do is sign my name.
125. Recently I stood in the desert, far outside of L. A., and watched the sun set on a circus tent from 1930. Everywhere stood animals: elephants, tigers that should be loaded into a steam train. 300 extras in costumes raced around, the modern world had disappeared totally. Although that was totally fake, it still happened directly before my eyes! That was my perfect day. I would be gladly experience that every day. It happens continually to me: It calls itself work. That is wonderful and more than enough.
127. Every one of us knows the time, before something happens between a couple, when you're still totally insecure: Does the other person like me or not? That is definitely the riskiest time! This moment can last an eternity. To this sweet uncertainty also comes anxiety, especially if it's the first time for both people. I believe this worry stirs up desire. And in this case, the period of desire lasts almost four books.
129. A little sun round my belly button like Sisqo. (responding the fan question "If you got a tattoo what would it be & why?"
