Pattinson Online staffer, Crystal, recently was able to interview How to Be writer and director Oliver Irving as well as Rob’s co-stars Johnny White and Mike Pearce. The interview is How to Be packed with a look into writing, developing, filming the movie, and of course the music. In addition, there are also insights into Rob’s character, fame, and Rob’s management.

(Edited content, now with photos.)

I would have things written out, passages I would tell people to kind of learn, but then I would say ‘Don’t worry too much.’ Sometimes they would follow the script and sometimes I would say ‘Just remember what you can remember from the script and start talking because then it would sound so much naturalistic.’ That was the same for Rob as well and often he would add little bits or we would rehearse it and I would go ‘Actually let’s change that.’ And he’d say ‘I wouldn’t say that. That sounds weird.’ And I would say ‘Ok well then I’ll change that. What would you say? How would you say it?’ ‘Well I would say it like this…..’ It was constantly an evolving process. So yeah very much so we tried to re-write it. And we changed things to suit Rob’s character a little bit more and maybe a character more like Rob and once we found him we then found the person right for the role and we changed the part slightly so it would fit more with Rob.

Art (Robert Pattinson) gives himself a pep talk.

The Oliver Irving Experience

Oliver Irving (Writer/Director) at the California Theatre, San Jose, CA, February 28, 2009

I recently had the opportunity to attend the Cinequest Film Festival in San Jose, California and attend a screening for “How To Be.” “How To Be” is a British Independent Film starring Robert Pattinson. The film is written and directed by Oliver Irving. Before the screening I sat down with Oliver Irving at a local Chinese Bistro to discuss the making of the film, the characters, the music surrounding the film and of course the lead actor, Robert Pattinson.

CB: How did you come up with the idea for the movie? Was it based on personal experiences or people in your life?

Oliver: Yeah it is based on experiences of people I know. At the time of writing I was looking at a lot of people I knew who… I just finished film school and I had friends who

just finished University or whatever. And then they were like ‘Oh crikey what do we do with our lives now?’ Luckily none of my friends had to move in with their parents. I knew people who did have to move back in with their parents and I thought ‘How awful.’ And then that thing of people being able to analyze their relationship they had with their parents. So I found that interesting and funny.

CB: Where did you go to film school?

Oliver: I went to Bournemouth Film School.

CB: And that is in London?

Oliver: It’s in Bournemouth (laughs) Bournemouth is right down the South coast. It’s a good film school.

CB: Oh (laughs) I don’t know London very well, I have only been there twice.

Oliver: Um yeah so that is where I sort of came from.

CB: So I read that Ronny’s character is an agoraphobic?

Oliver: Ronny yeah…

CB: I haven’t seen the film yet.

Oliver: Oh you haven’t seen it yet.

CB: I got a lot of my questions from what research I could do.

Oliver: So I went from the standpoint like write about what you know. I thought it would be funny to write about people I knew and stuff like that. And a whole lot of people came in the movie and just played themselves. So I knew the guy who plays Nikki in the movie. He is my friend Mike [Pierce] and the guy who plays Ronny is Johnny [White] from the movie. And so I cast them to essentially play themselves or version of themselves. So what you see on the screen is very close to how they actually are in real life.

CB: So you knew them before the film?

Oliver: Yeah yeah they have been in my films before. Mike [Pearce] actually went to film school with me. Then for the main part of Art we needed someone that would be like that character in real life and could invest himself in the character and just like be himself as suppose to play a role. So we spent about a year…maybe more just doing endless casting sessions in London. Then eventually we found Rob. He came in & he was like (snaps fingers) instantly got it and knew what the character was and became the character. He reminded of people I knew at school. He was a similar thing. He was thinking of giving up acting at the time and becoming a singer and sort of playing music and stuff. So he was like in that same kind of boat. So we got Rob and then Rob was great and they all became kind of friends and hung around each other and played off each other.

CB: So you said you said you were going to LA is there another film festival there?

Oliver: There will be a Los Angeles How To Be Tour Screening, at Laemmle’s Monica 4-Plex Tuesday April 14 at 8:00pm – Joe and I and maybe some others will be there.

CB: Yeah I saw that on the How To Be News.

Oliver: We will certainly finish in New York and we are going to go to Florida and Chicago and all these places and Boston hopefully. The other ones are being figured out at the moment, but that should be good fun. And then for the East coast leg of that, we are going to have Ronny [Johnny White] and Nikki [Mike Pearce] and Joe Hastings. Joe is coming out to Las Vegas and Livermore so he will be around. So there will be a whole load of us all on the East coast bit.

CB: So Rob is filming another movie right now?

Oliver: Yeah we are not sure if he can come out for the whole thing. Basically if he can he is going to come for some.

CB: Yeah I can imagine he is very busy. He is pretty big from what I have seen.

Oliver: Yeah he is pretty big.

CB: Back to Rob’s character. After he came in for the audition did you to have change any of the script to fit him more or did he just kind of fit the role?

Oliver: Yeah all of it what I did was I would write things out. I would have things written out, passages I would tell people to kind of learn, but then I would say ‘Don’t worry too much.’ Sometimes they would follow the script and sometimes I would say ‘Just remember what you can remember from the script and start talking because then it would sound so much naturalistic.’ That was the same for Rob as well and often he would add little bits or we would rehearse it and I would go ‘Actually let’s change that.’ And he’d say ‘I wouldn’t say that. That sounds weird.’ And I would say ‘Ok well then I’ll change that. What would you say? How would you say it?’ ‘Well I would say it like this…..’ It was constantly an evolving process. So yeah very much so we tried to re-write it. And we changed things to suit Rob’s character a little bit more and maybe a character more like Rob and once we found him we then found the person right for the role and we changed the part slightly so it would fit more with Rob.

CB: I heard the one bar scene was completely improvisation?

Oliver: That’s great. I’ve got with me actually; I think I’ve got it somewhere it might be in the hotel room. I’ve got a DVD because we are putting extras together for the DVD. So I’ve got that bit extras for the DVD with all the full pub improvisations scenes. It’s so funny to watch them again.

CB: Weren’t they all a little drunk during that scene?

Oliver: They were absolutely wasted. Well Johnny wasn’t that drunk. I didn’t let him get very drunk. Mike, I got completely pissed and forced drinks down him and Rob was somewhere in the middle. So Johnny is almost stone cold sober and Rob is pretty drunk and Mike is just wasted.

CB: That will be fun to see that scene. I am pretty excited for that. Was that one of your favorite scenes?

Oliver: Yeah sort of. Definitely. Well it was actually a nightmare to shoot because we had all these problems. All I always had to do was run around pretending to all of those guys ‘Oh it’s all fun, we are having such a fun time things are great and we are being creative.’ Then actually behind the scenes I was running around pulling my hair out like ‘Oh my god!’ That’s why I have so many gray hairs now. It was really really treacherous, but I had to always pretend for those guys that things are still fun and keep mucking around you know to keep that spirit alive because if they knew the pressure I was under they would not have reacted how I hoped they would.

There is another extra on the DVD as well. Just an improvisation where at the end of the night, I knew I wanted a shot with them at the computer, but it wasn’t in the shooting schedule. I really wanted to get this shot. The DP was saying ‘No it will take hours to light we haven’t got time.’ And I said ‘No it won’t & I said this is what we are going to do.’ I got the lights and moved them around and said ‘We are going to have this lamp

over them and we are going to have this light coming from the laptop and that’s it. That’s all we need and we’ll just shoot it and if it comes out and it looks bad we won’t use it and it is my fault, but let’s just shoot this anyway.’ We did it in one take and just had them improvise it based on what I want them to sort of say. So we did and in the end it is one of my favorite shots in the movie because the lighting is really nice and crisp and simple. They improvised and I kind of talked to them while they were doing it. It is only a little bit in the movie, but it is a really nice bit when they are talking at the computer and it felt very funny, natural and great.

CB: Also we know that Powell Jones passed away shortly after filming.

Oliver: Powell Jones yes he did about half way into the editing process.

CB: I’m sorry. You also worked with him on New World didn’t you?

Oliver: Yeah on New World that is where I discovered him.

CB: Did his death have an impact on the rest of the cast and crew?

Oliver: It had all been shot and done. Me and Joe went to his funeral. When you sat back and watched he was such a nice guy. He was just like he was in the movie.

CB: He plays the self-help guru, Art hires in the movie correct?

Oliver: In the movie, he is not a self-help guru, but he plays a version of himself. That is pretty much him playing himself.

CB: This is a really music-driven film and there is a soundtrack coming out. How did you go about choosing songs for the film? Did Joe Hastings do most of that?

Oliver: Well basically, Joe also co-wrote the script with me. I kind of took the lead on writing the script so he could concentrate on stuff to fit in. Again when we wrote the music, Joe and I would write the music together and I come up with the lyrics and we would start playing with these funny tunes then he would go away and do all the orchestration and put it together and arrange it. The score we arranged based on those tracks Rob sings in the movie. They became the core of what then became the tunes of the film. It kind of happened at the same time. All the score music and songs Rob plays in the movie was what Joe and me wrote together. And then script we wrote together as well.

CB: Will that all be on the soundtrack as well?

Oliver: That’s all on the soundtrack yeah. The Roches, Love & Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band and all of Joe’s music and all the songs Rob does in the movie, in fact 3

or 4 songs Rob singing on lead and Rob performing and playing guitar. And then there a whole load of Ronny’s (Johnny White) actual music, the electrical music that he releases under The Roller Coaster Project.

CB: Oh so he is a musician as well?

Oliver: Yeah, yeah he is a musician as well and he wrote all the electric music he plays in the movie as well. He is actually rather funny. Yeah, yeah like a weird eclectic music all over the place.

CB: Cool. I love the song in the trailer, but can’t remember the name of the band.

Oliver: The Roches, yeah.

CB: Yeah, The Roches, that is a really great song. Do you have a musical background as well?

Oliver: Yeah, I play drums in a band. Joe & I are in a band together now.

CB: What is the name of your band?

Oliver: It is called Portrait. Its kind of like jazz, rock sort of thing.

CB: And do you two play anywhere? In London?

Oliver: We are still in the fairly early days of it. We are doing recording at the moment in London and so we are going to have some stuff pretty soon.

CB: Yeah, I love jazz type music. That is my favorite.

Oliver: Oh, okay.

CB: Actually music is like my main thing and then I kind of do more film stuff, but music is like where I am at.

Oliver: Hopefully we are going to focus on more of this touring with the movie. And Joe says ‘When are you coming band practice?’ and I say ‘I’m sorry, I am in San Francisco.’
But we are getting it together. And me and Joe as a team I think is really really good.

CB: Cool. I will have to check your band out. What is the name of the band again?

Oliver: It is called Portrait.

CB: I will definitely have to check it out. I think my favorite is probably Nick Cave.

I am a huge Nick Cave fan. I have loved Van Morrison for over 10 years as well and just saw him in LA last November.

Oliver: Well this is like; I don’t know how you describe it….

CB: Like John Lee Hooker?

Oliver: No it is like, I don’t know. It is like Weather Report meets….I am going to get myself in trouble here. Weather Report meets Soil & Pimp or one of those big band like jazz bands or Underground Trio meets….or Tortoise meets Captain Beefheart. I don’t know I am just rambling now, but it is really good stuff. These recordings we have been working on and probably get those out really soon probably under Dreamboat, which the label who is doing the soundtrack as well.

CB: Well that will be good. You will probably have most of the tour done by the end of April or May? And won’t it be coming out on DVD at that point.

Oliver: Yeah. I have to go back to England again as well.

CB: Now you just got a U.S. distributor too didn’t you?

Oliver: Yeah IFC is releasing the film at the end of April.

CB: Are they releasing it onto DVD or in the theater?

Oliver: VOD and then limited theaters on the actual tour, but VOD is kind of where they are pushing it.

CB: Okay. I think we have the IFC Channel in Utah.

Oliver: Yeah, yeah you should go out there and buy “How To Be” on VOD.

CB: Did you go to Utah for Slamdance? Where did you stay?

Oliver: Yeah, yeah I did. I really liked it. I went skiing and it was fucking amazing. I have never seen snow like that city. Joe got ill and spent the last 4 days in bed. So he stayed in to sleep and I went out skiing. I had never skied before.

CB: Were you in Park City?

Oliver: Yeah it was up there.

CB: I was there actually for Sundance in January. It was amazing. So did you guys know that Rob was a musician before he came in?

Oliver: Yeah, it was funny…..

CB: I have seen him say in interviews he is not a musician. Is he really self-deprecating in real life?

Oliver: Yeah, yeah.

CB: He seems really hard on himself.

Oliver: When he came into the audition he said ‘The guy [Art] is a musician. I play a bit of guitar, but I am rubbish and can hardly play’. So we went ‘Great, perfect that is just right for the part.’ Then it turned how he could play a lot more than he said he could, but you know a little bit rough around the edges, but actually he can play. Which was kind of neat because then Joe could teach him stuff and work through it and he could add his own stuff and playing style as well. And the other thing he said was ‘Oh I was in this Harry Potter film.’ And everyone in England is in a Harry Potter film. He said ‘It was just a little part,’ and he shrugged it off. So I didn’t realize he was actually quite a big part in that Harry Potter film. It was until we already cast him and I went back and watched and went ‘Oh right, crikey!’ Because I had a feeling after this role Rob was going to be a star, you know. I didn’t realize he was almost quite big with the Harry Potter film. The way he talked about it was ‘Oh no big deal.’ I think he was a bit down on himself at the time because all the roles he was getting offered were like Narnia and he wanted something a bit more real. What he said actually was he was thinking about giving up acting at that point. And he was thinking maybe I’ll be a musician instead. So he was still thinking of giving it up. We like to think we might have helped bring him back into acting again to where he is now.

CB: I am excited to see the film. And I know he has done “Little Ashes.” Have you seen “Little Ashes” yet?

Oliver: No. That was just after “How To Be.” So “How To Be,” then “Little Ashes” and then “Twilight.” When we did the post-production for “How To Be,” he was flying back from Spain and had all of his hair dyed black. I just sat there and giggling and poking him and teasing him. He was telling me about this weird movie where he gets raped. I was like, ‘What the fuck?’ (laughs)

CB: You were like ‘What are you doing?’ (laughs)

Oliver: He said, ‘I am in this weird movie where I get raped while they are filming it.’ I am like ‘Rob, you are mental!’ But I don’t know what the movie is like.

CB: I heard it [Little Ashes] is really good and I know it comes out in May. Of course, I have seen “Twilight.” It is like this huge phenomenon. Have you seen “Twilight?”

Oliver: No.

CB: He is really good in the film. I know it is like a huge kind of…I don’t think they knew how big it was and now it has just completely exploded. He was just at the Oscars. It is like ‘Okay Rob, you have arrived now!’

Oliver: It is so bizarre. This is Rob. I remember when I was editing the movie and he would come by the editing studio and be like ‘What are you up to?’ I lend him a fiver to get some lunch and stuff. He was just one of the guys and now he is an international superstar. Everyone who was on the film can’t quite believe it you know. Ronny [Johnny White] and Nikki [Mike Pearce] are like ‘Really?’

CB: Well he probably hasn’t changed much?

Oliver: Last time I saw him he was about the same. He hasn’t changed, but the surroundings around him have changed. A lot has changed.

CB: I am sure he has a million things to do. I don’t know how it can get any bigger, but I think with the upcoming film…. Because actually Justin [Kelly] e-mailed me back and said how it has been difficult to get him involved in the promotional stuff. I was like ‘Oh, I’m sorry.’ It kind of like made me sad though.

Oliver: It is really sad. The only time he talks about….There is one interview with Variety where they ask about “How To Be.” And you see Rob eyes light up and he talks about the movie. Normally he is told not to talk about it.

CB: He seems very proud of it. He actually talked about it in a French interview. I can’t remember exactly what he said, but you could tell he was very proud about it and excited to be a part of it. So hopefully you will be able to get him to participate in the tour and other stuff.

Oliver: You mentioned “Little Ashes,” but I think this could be one of his best acting roles. He is awesome in the movie and there are bits where he tries some tricky stuff. And he is very much a method actor as well. There are two methods. One of them is which to get into the situation on how it is really needs to be. We were shooting at a really cold bleak location. He would stand there without an umbrella. He stood there in the cold freezing and shivering and miserable. He would say ‘He [Art] looked cold and miserable.’ All right whatever method gets you there. He also had a thing with the cry sticks. You put it around your eyes and it makes them watery. He was addicted to these things and kept wiping them around his eyes. He became immune to it. And he just added that to add a bit more emotion.

CB: That will be cool to see. I am excited to see the film. We are actually going to see it tonight.

Oliver: Cool.

CB: I am way excited for it. I was supposed to see it at Slamdance last year, but I was out of town for work. I just a have a couple more questions. Oh this is a good one. If you could hire a self-help guru for yourself, what would you have him help you with?

Oliver: Making decisions.

CB: Are you kind of back & forth?

Oliver: Luckily, I have a PA now, Lucinda. She is great. I have real trouble making everyday decisions. I look over a menu over and over and think ‘Oh this looks good and this looks good. I could go that way or that way oh I don’t know.’ And I sit and pontificate and think and analyze minor details things that don’t really need to be making a decision about. I am really bad at making decisions so I tend to over analyze things. Where in films I am allowed to do that where people kind of say ‘Great, well done for overanalyzing things.’ Whereas in everyday life it is a bit more tricky. So if I had a self-help guru I would have him kind of help me….

CB: Make decisions for you?

Oliver: And help me with other things like pending doom, death. I don’t believe anyone when they say they are not scared of dying.

CB: I don’t know how anybody can be?

Oliver: I don’t know anyone who isn’t completely scared by the idea of infinity or the idea there are over 6 billion people in the world and they are all within their own consciousness, things like that. Stuff that freaks you out.

CB: I would probably have him help me with worry. I am the biggest worry wart.

Oliver: Yeah same for me. I am the biggest worrier in the whole world.

CB: I don’t necessarily care what people think, that doesn’t bother me because I kind of speak my mind, but worrying is like if I do this what is going to happen? If I do that what is going to happen?

Oliver: That is me all over I am the biggest worrier and I have spent my whole life analyzing. I go into a situation make a complete fool of myself. I can’t do small talk either. If some wants to talk about a movie, I can go blah, blah, blah. Someone said during a Q & A for the movie ‘Wow you can really talk!’ I am like ‘Yeah, yeah, yeah, but if I am talking about the movie I can talk, but if you want to talk about small talk I

can’t do it.’

CB: I know you are working on your music. Do you have any other films you are working on now?

Oliver: The movie I am working on now is all to do kind of like empathy and autism. It is going to be amazing. It is going to be really really good.

CB: Are you directing and writing?

Oliver: I am directing, but I am looking for the right writer. Hopefully I am going to be doing it in New York.

CB: Oh, filming in New York?

Oliver: Filming in New York and basing myself in New York. I love New York. I need to get myself over there more often if not permanently. I am hopefully going to be working with people in New York.

CB: Are you going to stay more on the Independent level now?

Oliver: Yeah, hopefully I will have a bit more money. If a big studio came along and said they would give me the money, I would jump at the chance.

CB: Congratulations on everything. It is amazing. I am so excited to see the film.

California Theatre, San Jose, CA

After the interview, I headed down to the California Theatre to watch the film. There was a crowd lined up around the block waiting to get in. For those of you who don’t know,” How To Be” is a dark comedy about a twenty-something guy named Art (Robert Pattinson) who is forced to move in with his parents after his girlfriend breaks up with him. He believes his is going through a quarter-life crisis and tries to find meaning in his life. He uses his Uncle’s inheritance to indulge in materialistic things and ultimately ends up hiring a therapist, Dr. Ellington (Powell Jones) to teach him how to be “normal.” With the help of the good doctor and his dysfunctional best mates, you are taken on his painful yet funny journey to find normalcy in his life.

My favorite scenes in the film are the scenes where Art and his two friends Ronny (Johnny White) and Nikki (Mike Pearce) are in a pub pissed off drunk and run into Art’s ex-girlfriend. Another memorable scene is where

Art is giving himself a pep talk in the mirror before he is about to go out on stage to perform in front of live audience. Robert Pattinson really shines in this moment and shows his versatility as an actor throughout the entire film, plus the audience does see a bit of his comedic side as well.

After the screening Oliver Irving did a Q & A with the audience and met with fans to sign autographs and take pictures. He was like a rock star and was asked several questions about his lead actor, Robert Pattinson. He was very nice and took it all in stride. I chatted with him a little bit after the film and mentioned how I also enjoyed Art driving his Camaro because every time it came on screen, I had the song “Bitchin Camaro” playing in my head.

Oliver Irving (Writer/Director) meeting with fans at Cinequest.

I would like to give a little friendly advice to fans who attend future screenings and the tour for “How To Be.” Please don’t wear or bring “Twilight” memorabilia to the screening. This is very tacky not to mention disrespectful to the cast & crew of a film that has nothing to do with “Twilight.” Even if Robert Pattinson is in attendance, please show him the courtesy and respect he deserves because you are there to see him as the lead character, Art, in “How To Be” and not as Edward Cullen. Okay, now I will step down from my soapbox.

In addition to meeting with Oliver Irving, I was able to ask Johnny White (Ronny) and Mike Pearce (Nikki) a few questions as well about their experiences during filming.

Meet Johnny White (Ronny) and Mike Pearce (Nikki)

Left to right: Johnny White (Ronny), Mike Pearce (Nikki) & Robert Pattinson (Art) hanging out on Ronny’s balcony.

Johnny White (Ronny)

CB: Are you anything like an agoraphobic in real life? Did you relate to your character Ronny?
That’s a good question. I helped create the character Ronny, and Ronny is an exaggerated version of me, so the fact that he’s afraid to go outside is based on real-life problems I have that are similar (although not quite as ridiculous!), and although I never got to the stage that Ronny is in, I thought for many years that I might be agoraphobic. In the end it turned out to be a different thing called Social Phobia, which now – thanks to some brain tinkering – I’m starting to get past. So, in essence, yes, I found it very easy to relate to Ronny in some ways. I look just like him as well, which helped.

CB: What was your favorite scene to film?
Probably the scene where Art comes round to my flat drunk before we go to the pub. We were all laughing so much when filming that, it was great fun. We had loads of free Fanta on set and in between takes I was drinking cans and cans of the stuff (I had them on the floor by my feet). Actually the most fun scene to film was the pub scene, or maybe they’re joint favorite.

CB: Were there any funny moments on set between the cast & crew?
Lots in fact. I kept trying to get involved with the lighting decisions, which was funny for me, but probably not so much for them. Also in one scene, me and Mike were trying to secretly switch our fake beers for real beers, which, again, was probably more funny for me then for the production team. If you look closely at the very end scene you can see me swig from a bottle which I was actually trying to do without anyone noticing.
There were lots of other funny moments but I can’t remember anything specific.

CB: Rob Pattinson has become an international star since the filming of Twilight. After working with him, did you think he would become this big a star?
I didn’t know for sure one way or the other, but it’s no surprise to me that he’s had the success that he’s having, as I think he’s a great talent and a good guy to boot! For a while it was strange that the bus I take in the morning had Rob’s face on the side of it but I’m used to it now.

CB: If you could hire a self help guru, what would you hire him to help you with?
The possibilities are endless. I’m very bad at folding shirts, so maybe someone could help me with this. Also I have terrible habit of watching horror films and then not being able to sleep so maybe I could hire someone to stop me watching horror films.
There are others. I can’t do crosswords, that’s one thing. Also maybe I could hire someone to explain to me exactly what all the different pictures on the dial of the washing machine represent. Someone could monitor my coffee intake. I have terrible trouble knowing whether or not to kiss girl’s on the cheek when I’m introduced to them as this seems to be the done thing and maybe I could hire someone to help me out with that. Any or all of those would be great.

Mike Pearce (Nikki)

CB: How much did you relate to your character? Are you at all like Nikki in real life?
There was a certain rumor around the production that the character might have been based on certain unflattering aspects of my younger self, but they’re unfounded.
Seriously, perhaps some of those rumors might be true. I identify with his lightness and playful attitude to life; he’s pretty much the only one that doesn’t come with any deep-rooted psychological baggage. He masks his immature / amoral approach to woman as existential / sexual libertarianism, yeah perhaps my younger self might have identified with that.

CB: What was your favorite scene to film?
Maybe the skateboard scene. It’s a ridiculous set-up anyway but the ending when I had start crying I found it really difficult, the pressure got to be. So we took 5, I went around a corner and tried to make myself vomit, hoping that it would help produce tears. And just as I was leaning over a bin, with my fingers down my throat and mother and her two children came past. She looked horrified, and shunned her children away from this strange, trendy junkie. Shame no one else saw it.

CB: Were there any funny moments on set between the cast & crew?
When we were doing the band rehearsal—Three people playing completely different songs. Nikki is rapping about drugs, Ronny is creating some moody electronic sound-scape and Art is playing heart felt acoustic lullabies. It’s ridiculous.

CB: Rob Pattinson has become an international star since the filming of Twilight. After working with him, did you think he would become a big star?
He’s good looking, a talented actor, weird hair, hairy chest. Sure, why not.

CB: If you could hire a self-help guru, what would you hire him to help you with?
