Catherine Hardwicke Talks About and Rob. "Robert Pattinson is a great kisser"
Hardwicke, who also recently made Red Riding Hood, doesn't have any personal experience of puckering up to Pattinson's lips but still lavished praise on his skills.
Both Pattinson and his co-star Taylor Lautner are up for Best Kiss at the MTV Movie Awards for their on-screen smooches with Kristen Stewart.
Hardwicke refused to pick a favourite to win telling MTV News: 'Maybe it can be a tie? That would be perfect! I think [that's] the safest solution to this problem.'
She added that she was still thrilled that fans were so devoted to the vampire franchise.
'I love it that people are so passionate about it and...are really into it... Rob and Kristen and everybody's been able to just keep it going and keep people loving it all this time... I think it's awesome. It's great.'
Meanwhile, Pattinson has been snapped pulling a silly face on the set of his new movie, Cosmopolis.
The Twilight Saga hunk will play financial whizz kid Eric Packer who bets his entire fortune against the rise of the yen in the big screen adaptation of Don DeLillo's novel of the same name.

Rob in Bravo Magazine (Germany)
'I'm sorry for the mistakes. This is a very free translation.
Some parts sound like him some not too much and it's Bravo...
But here is the translation:'
Robert opens his heart – Part I
How he shines! That’s my first thought when I, the Bravo reporter, meet Robert Pattinson for an interview in Berlin. The 25-year-old seems tob e really lucky. Maybe it’s beacuse of his girlfriend Kristen Stewart (21). They seem tob e so carefree when they’re together. Just happy! How does he do that? How does it work? The perfect relationship.
Could you fall in love with someone you were just friends with?
No. Not at all. I don’t think that friendship can turn into a great love. Because one oft he two feels different.

New Q&A interview with Robert Pattinson for L'Express (France)!
Google translation thanks to Robsessed
Robert Pattinson, if you were ...
Robert Pattinson, if you were ...
Young English actor, star of Twilight takes the top billing in Water for Elephants. Cosmopolis Meanwhile, the next Cronenberg ...
If you were a place ... The South Bank in London. Between the Hayward Gallery, National Theatre and all other activities, I will not ever bother. I would also say New York to the breathtaking skyline formed by the buildings and the fast pace of this city, whatever time of day.
A cartoonist... Ralph Steadman, illustrator of texts delusional Highway Gonzo, Hunter S. Thompson. His line is simple and disturbed never leave me indifferent. The other reason is, perhaps, that I can draw almost like him!
A dish of childhood ... The boiled eggs with salt on the side and toast at your fingertips. Inevitably, this makes me feel like Saturday, when my mother was preparing this dish. I'm a bit nostalgic for that period.
An animal ... An elephant. It is an intelligent animal and soothing. On one incredible dexterity. I learned a lot from him while working on the film. I would also add the giraffe, since I had the opportunity to play with a baby giraffe barely bigger than me. Their black tongue surprised.
An era ... I am a big fan of music and clothing style of the 1960s. Whether in England or the United States, while I like this period.
An album of music ... It is difficult to choose one. I give you my top 5: Night Train Oscar Peterson, One Love by Bob Marley & The Wailers, Moondance, Van Morrison, Abbey Road, Beatles, and Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), the Wu-Tang Clan. They tell me all their own way.
An artist ... The man-cannon at the circus. I like the risk. I love having the feeling of flying. Being a woman shaving I would not mind either. To avoid having to shave!
A book ... Money, Money, Martin Amis. I read when I was 15, I read hundreds of times since and he continues to make me howl with laughter. Amis has managed to create a world that is both funny and biting. I'd love to play John Self, the hero depraved and without illusions he has created.
An essential garment ... Without hesitation, the underwear: it's really the only piece you need! Here and sunglasses, which are an accessory that I love! At home, I am constantly in that outfit.
A quote ... "Mistakes are the doors of discovery", by James Joyce. In a similar register: "A man, it can be destroyed but not defeated" by Ernest Hemingway. Both remind me that our biggest mistakes are the experiences that we learn the most. And gives hope to improve, everyone, the desire to live the next day, right?
Translated New Rob Interview with Glamour (Italy)

"I recenlty got a puppy from a shelter in Louisiana, and called him Bear. He's an extraordinary dog, very smart and playful."
-Have you ever gone to the circus?
"I haven't, but it's weird that I can feel nostalgic for a place I've never been to."
-When was the last time you cried?
"I continually cry, over everything. I'm crying right now! I'm drying my tears on the keyboard as I'm typing the answers."
- What book is on your bedside table at the moment?
"It's a book written by Steve Fisher, talking about the period when Las Vegas was under the control of the Mafia. I love the story of Las Vegas.
- Who is your favourite hero?
"It's John Self from the novel Money by Martin Amis, because Amis manages to make fascinating even the most disgusting character on earth."
- How do you picture yourself at age 90?
"I want to be with my wife, sitting on a deckchair, sipping some tea, and reading books in a retirement home, in a beautiful and warm place."
- Do you prefer a pair of jeans or a tuxedo?

- Do you read your horoscope?
"No, and I really don't believe in that stuff."

"Be faithful to yourself. That's enough."
Oh, and there's this note on the pic: "The big doubt: is he dating Kristen? Yes, no, maybe. Robert changes the subject and doesn't answer this question"

Robert Pattinson: "We both think sex without love doesn't make sense..."
NEW interview with Donna Moderna (Italy)
-Where's your house?
"I don't have one. Or rather, I have my parents' house in London, but my room has become a sort of warehouse where I leave the stuff I can't take with me. I can't take too many things, 2-3 bags at most. That's why I always wear the same clothes."
- We will see you in Breaking Dawn part 1 and 2 soon.
"They are the harder movies of the series, and I wonder how they're going to distribute them with a PG 13 rating. There are a lot of sex scenes and so many other things that are not suitable for children" (his look gets mischievous and cheerful)
- How similar are you to Edward?
"We both think sex without love doesn't make sense"
-What if they asked you to keep playing this role?
"That's a closed chapter. I've just finished filming Bel Ami where I play a cynical, seducer, social-climber. Then I will be the main character in David Cronemberg's Cosmopolis. I'll play the role of an American millionaire who, within 24 hours in Manhattan, lives his descent into hell. I still can't believe I'll be working with a director like Cronemberg. And I even wanted to quit acting after Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire! Nobody wanted me, while my band was starting to sign its first contracts and earn some money. Then I got offered the role of Salvador Dalì in Little Ashes. After that movie I realized I really liked acting and put music aside."
- So you won't play a romantic role ever again?
"Never say never. But I need to change a bit, or either the audience and I would get bored eventually." Panic: we're already orphan because of Leonardo Di Caprio, will we be orphan because him as well? It would be a bad piece of news since I'm interviewing the romantic hero Pattinson on the romantic wedding day between William and Kate. I don't even have the time to finish the sentence that he asks "How did the Royal Wedding go? Have they already kissed?" Yes, the kind of kiss you and Kristen shared in public...And there's back his polite and irresistible smile, as he explains "I've been avoiding this topic for years, but I can say I love big love stories"

Rob: "By not sleeping with them. Oh god, that sounded horrible!"..Check out the Full Interview!
I am not a romantic person
From a vampire to a veterinarian: After his performances in the Twilight trilogy, Robert Pattinson (24) keeps his image nowadays as the biggest idol in teenage-love being the rosy-cheeked veterinarian Jacob in the new movie "Water For Elephants."
In his private life he seems to go easy on love. When asked about his relationship with Kristen Stewart, Rob said to tz-Hollywood correspondent Dierk Sindermann:
"I like being in love." Does this prove all the rumors about the break-up with Kristen Stewart? Rob confirms:
"At the moment I'm busy promoting my new movie Water For Elephants"
So you have no time for romance?
Robert Pattinson: In general I'm not a romantic person. When I was 14, I put a flower on the chair of a classmate. She thought it was from someone else. (laughs) I decided that that was the end of me with being romantic.
Let's try it with reality. What's the ideal quality you look for in a woman?
Robert Pattinson: Her sense for independence. In a relationship you risk to blend personalities.
Most of the time it's the kiss of death.
Talking about kisses. There had been a celebrity auction, where a kiss from you has been auctioned. For 20-thousand dollars...
Robert Pattinson: I've never seen any of this money. It was for a good cause.
So for what are you engaged with (what cause do you support)?
Robert Pattinson: I was involved with the World Wildlife Fund, for protecting tigers. They're endangered animals.
Sorry Rob, but Leonardo di Caprio was first.
Robert Pattinson: Oh really?.. what really is in my heart, is the importance of children to get an education. I would like to join an organization that motivates kids to read books.
Do you have any time for this? Water for Elephants is in cinemas and you're shooting the big final of the Twilight-Saga. Two parts at once.
Robert Pattinson: It feels like I have been a vampire my whole life time. I can't wait to get rid of the make up
and finally to get rid of these bloody contact lenses.
How was it for a change to work with circus animals?
Robert Pattinson: Great. Finally no egos on set. Not even by the biggest star.
Reese Witherspoon?
Robert Pattinson: No, Rosie, the elephant.
How did you win her heart?
Robert Pattinson: With a lot of Jelly Beans.
Who do you understand better? The elephant or your admirers?
Robert Pattinson: The elephant. Absolutely. Cause there's logic in their game.
If you give her her favorite food, she does tricks.. (laughs) I haven't figured out how this works with my fans.
Maybe you should've become a vetenerian instead of playing as one in a movie?
Robert Pattinson: That would not be for me. As a veterinarian you have to keep the suffering of animals in perspective.
I can't do this. My heart is bleeding. I'm one of these guys who'd adopt a whole animal shelter.
Who keeps you from doing it?
Robert Pattinson: Thank God that Kristen was with me. So we just adopted one dog. A mutt. We called him bear.
If you could be an animal, which would it be?
Robert Pattinson: Maybe a rat. Sometimes I feel like one (grins). No seriously, I want to be a dog. It matches my lifestyle. If I didn't have to stand daily in front of the cameras for 16 or 17 hours, then I would hang around, watch TV and do nothing.
Do you think that the Twilight hype will stop after Breaking Dawn?
Robert Pattinson: All the chitchat surrounding me, has something to do with Twilight.
And that's why it will end after this, hopefully. Because I have a boring life.
You won't have any withdrawal symptoms when the girls stop stalking and following you?
Robert Pattinson: Their love don't belong to me, but rather to a fictional character.
And this confusion goes for all ages. Not long ago a woman followed me in the airport with her autograph pad.
She stuck to her guns. "Robert I love you" "Robert I love you for real" "Robert you have no idea of how much I love you"
I asked her "How old are you" Her answer "92"
Not funny?
Robert Pattinson: Really. But the 12 year-olds say the same.
How do you assure your girlfriend that she doesn't have to be jealous of all the admirers?
Robert Pattinson: By not sleeping with them. Oh god, that sounded horrible!

NZHerald: Robert Pattinson: The next chapter
Robert Pattinson, the world’s most famous teen vampire, tells Michele Manelis and Cindy Pearlman why he is pleased to finally say goodbye to Edward Cullen and and his love for his new co-star.
Taking off his Twilight fangs has meant Robert Pattinson can now sink his teeth into a diverse range of movie roles.
The first time I met Robert Pattinson, a few months shy of the release of Twilight in 2008, he strolled into the lobby of the Beverly Hills hotel completely unnoticed. No one had the slightest notion that his character, the charismatic vampire Edward Cullen, would soon prevent him from sustaining any kind of normality come the release of the film. He said back then, "I still haven't decided if acting is going to be my career. I don't know if it's going to work out. Who knows if people will go and see this movie?"'
As we know, this would turn out to be an understatement of epic proportions. This afternoon, three years later, we're in the same hotel but with a few changes to the scenery. Two burly bodyguards stand protectively outside his door, a couple of hundred paparazzi wait in the street and a horde of teenage girls are ready to stampede.
Life hasn't turned out the way Pattinson expected. Reminding him of what he said previously, he laughs. "You know, seriously, I just never thought I'd have that kind of effect on anyone and I still don't really understand it."
Although it's not unusual for British actors to speak in a self-deprecating manner, Pattinson appears genuine.
Admirably, all things considered, he's retained his sanity and isn't overly attached to his status.
"I think the people who lose their minds are the ones who've been fighting to attain fame for years and years," says the 24-year-old. "If and when they suddenly achieve it, they're like, 'yeah, I deserve everything I've got'. For me, I literally took a step in one direction, not knowing what I was doing at all. It just happened. So I can't really claim anything."
Sitting on the sofa, he's dressed unremarkably - in black jeans, worn Doc Martens, a checkered shirt and grey cardigan - as though there's a faint chance he may go unnoticed. The paparazzi and the fans outside are proof he's failed on that count. Although unfailingly polite, talking about his new movie Water for Elephants, he seems a little on the low-energy side. His demeanour prompts the question, if it were possible to go back in time would he change that fateful decision to play the iconic vampire? Thinking for while, he says, "Well, if I had come out to LA, not got a job and had to go back to London, it would have pissed me off. I wouldn't have liked that, but I mean, this is extreme," he says, glancing out the window at the ever-increasing crowd.
With five new movies out in the next 18 months - including the final Twilight instalment - Pattinson's star wattage may be about to further intensify, if that is possible.
He has just finished filming Breaking Dawn (which will screen in two parts) over four hard months in Vancouver, as well as the thriller Bel Ami with Uma Thurman. He'll begin filming Cosmopolis, which follows a multimillionaire on a 24-hour odyssey across Manhattan shortly. For now, though, it is Water for Elephants, a romantic drama about a Depression-era travelling circus, which is his focus.
Pattinson shines as the actor he was destined to become in Water for Elephants. He plays a veterinary student who loses his parents in a car accident and hops a circus train, embarking on a torrid affair with the circus master's wife.
He stars opposite Oscar winners Reese Witherspoon and Christoph Walz, who deliver the kind of performances that force Pattinson to raise his game. In doing so, he proves to be more than just a pretty face and capable of venturing outside of his comfort zone. Apparently, there's some common sense lurking beneath his carefully dishevelled hair.
"Becoming 'in demand' quickly affords you the opportunities to work with people who are far more experienced than you," he says. "I think you need to take those opportunities and not always try to shoulder the entire burden of a movie. In order to do that, you need to be mindful not to let your ego get ahead of you."
The US$40 million ($49.7 million) film succeeds on the strength of the chemistry and realism between Witherspoon and Pattinson's characters, and the forbidden love element of their relationship.
Interestingly, the last time Pattinson shared onscreen time with Witherspoon he played her son in Vanity Fair. He laughs. "Yes, it's strange. That was my first job. Now that I'm playing her lover, maybe in the future she'll play my daughter one day."
The heart and soul of the movie most definitely rests on the formidable presence of Tai, the four tonne, 42-year-old elephant. And it turns out she's no slouch in the acting department, having starred in Hollywood movies such as The Jungle Book and Bigger Than Life. Tai serves as the anchor in the chaotic atmosphere of the movie. And, like all females, she wasn't immune to Pattinson's charms.
"We all fell in love with Tai," says Pattinson, who has admitted he shed tears saying goodbye to the elephant on the last day of the shoot - something he has never done for his human co-stars. "It's funny, we were all told early on that we were just props in Tai's world, and I think there was definitely some truth to that. She had an aura.
"There's something incredibly peaceful about being around huge creatures that are incredibly gentle."
Taking on a role in the circus was a big step for Pattinson following a bad childhood experience. "The first time I went to a circus, one of the clowns died," he told Britain's Daily Record."He had a joke car and it exploded."
Pattinson's parents quickly hustled the young boy out the circus tent but the event left its mark. "It was terrifying," says Pattinson. "And that's the only time I've ever been to the circus."
Fortunately, his latest experience has not been quite so traumatic. Although working with some of the 600 animals involved in the film - Tai the elephant aside - was a little nerve-wracking, he says.
For one scene, Pattinson had to wear a false arm to feed a hungry lion who was supposed to attack. As the cameras rolled, the lion pounced, ripping off the false arm and ignoring the bucket of meat. The actor admits that while the scene was well-controlled, he was terrified.
Mostly, though, Pattinson's screen time in Water for Elephants is relaxed and natural: a welcome relief after three years watching his tortured character in the Twilight series, which will come to an end with the release of Breaking Dawn, parts one and two. Pattinson wrapped his last scene for the final instalment in the franchise just a few weeks ago and now the fanged teeth and the pale makeup are gone.
