Everybody in my life knows what’s real and what isn’t. Apart from my mother, who seems to believe every negative thing that’s written about me!   She’s like, “I can’t believe you did this!” I’m like, “I didn’t!” And she’s like, “Yes, you did, I know you did!” … She’ll literally believe a gossip magazine over her own son.

If I literally could go back and do it again, I would try to do it better. I had wanted to be better.

I just use water. No one ever believes me, but it’s true.

I’ve never really fallen in love, but I try to be as romantic as possible. A year ago I could’ve walked up to any girl and neither would’ve been interested. I’m looking for someone with character. If I ever find her, you know what I would do? I would write her hundreds of love letters.

Music fascinates me, I love it. It’s my passion. And I think I could’ve been very happy with being close to a piano and make a living out of it.

At first, girls can feel attracted to that (fame), but then they realise you’re a real human being, with flaws and qualities, and there can be a certain disappointment. Many times girls find out that everything about you was just a fantasy. I think, in the end, I’m just like any other guy. I can’t be what everybody else wants me to be, I’m just me. And you can find many girls that have preconceived ideas of you, or imaginary things and that can be a problem, because when people find out you’re not really like that, they are disappointed. I have to confess that before making this movie I believed that the being famous could help me get more girls, but then I realized that is not as easy as I thought it was. In the end, if you like a girl, you still have to work hard at winning her over! (laughs)

I didn’t do anything out of the ordinary to be so famous. It all comes down to those five minutes of emotions that you give to people and that’s nice to feel. It’s part of the magic and everything that comes from making movies.
The expectations, the dreams, the fantasies; it’s all an illusion. I’m a very normal guy, I can promise you that.

I was 13 years old and looked like a girl when I started to work as a model. It was a relatively successful career since the androgynous look was in, so I got to work for a few teenage magazines, but never got any bigger assignments since I didn’t look masculine enough. I was really thin with a small potbelly, it didn’t work out in the long run since I didn’t want to work out to look more masculine and I didn’t want to diet to look more feminine.

I don’t care that much about the screaming girls, the real problem is the photographers. A real novelty for them is if I make a fool of myself. As soon as a photographer is nearby he wants me to fail.

… the paparazzi think they have the right to take photos, but I don’t have to give them anything at all.  Yesterday it was a gang yelling “smile, smile!” even though I was already smiling, and then I heard: “Oh he’s so boring.” But just a second later they fell into some bushes, and that made me smile even more.

I don’t really need to do stuff to relax or get away because all my interests are part of my job.  Like I’ll watch movies to be inspired to do other movies. I read books to be inspired. I listen to music to be inspired to write music. Everything I do is to create something.

…girls scream out for Edward, not Robert. I still can’t get a date.

He’s a character that can’t change his condition, he didn’t choose his fate. .. Imagine what would you feel like if you knew you would never grow old and that you would live forever. And what’s worse, you didn’t look for it. You become a sort of Superman without even wanting to be that, you were just a 17 year old kid. You must feel a huge impotence and frustration. Instead of believing you’re hero, you’re a person who can’t find himself and doesn’t know who he is. Understanding that has been fundamental in understanding Edward. That very human side of him is what I love about him and I feel like I can relate to that. There’s something we all find hard to change and face about ourselves.

I believe in Karma. I believe it exists and whatever you do in your everyday life makes the person that you are. What you give in life comes back to you. I’m convinced of that, so I’m sure that everyday you have to be a good person and treat everyone with respect. We’re all connected.

Music is the other side of me, it’s one of the things that complete me and I wouldn’t want to leave it aside for anything in the world.

In the end you have your real life and the one they make up in inteviews, not caring if what they’re saying is true or false. What’s true is that I’m too normal and I give them no material to write, so I’m an easy prey for make up stories. I should go wild and do crazy things so they have something to write about. My flaw for those tabloids is that I’m too calm and quiet (laughs).

I’ve had to develop strategies to go out with my friends and have a normal life. It’s the dark side of fame. But I don’t complain. I just assume that I have to deal with it now. Not everything can be perfect. I have so much already, having the opportunity of living from acting. It would be unfair to say that I’m unlucky.

I think it’s a story about what it means to commit to a feeling and to the person that you love. Above all, it’s about finding someone to love despite having to fight so many problems that might show up. What hooks you about the movie, I’m convinced about it, is that it talks about the fear of what can happen to you if you fall in love and give yourself away completely. Realising how far you can go for love, passion and being amazed by it. People identify with it more than you can imagine. To me it’s not even a story about vampires, but about feelings that we’ve all felt before. It talks about the fear of feeling those things. It’s a movie with so many meanings, that’s why I like it and I think that’s why people like it too.

I don’t like to read them or be aware of what they say. At all. It’s something I avoid completely. I do my work, live my life and follow my intuitions. I make my decisions the best way that I can and that’s it. If you pay attention to any of that, you’ll lose. I’m aware of that and I try to be very careful about it. I try to live away from that, saving myself disgusts and headaches.

I feel like I’m the same person I’ve always been and I feel I have all the freedom in the world. I’m still doing my job as best as I can, and most importantly, I still enjoy it. I admit that I do feel more safe in movie sets than on the streets. I never thought that one day that would happen, but I feel that in movie sets I can be myself, and be more relaxed and focused on what I have to do. When I go out for a walk, I have to be aware of everything that’s around me and that’s out of my control. On a familiar set at least you know what to expect most of the times (laughs).

Seeing girls screaming around me is so bizarre. Sometimes I can’t believe it’s all about me. It’s like I’m living inside a movie, but I wake up and it’s all real. I see that it’s real and how much my life has changed. I still don’t know in which ways my life has changed, I’m still figuring that out. And I don’t know why but I think it’s going to take me a long time to figure it out. I guess it’s normal, don’t you think?

I can say that everything has happened very fast. Like I’m fast-forwarding through life. Like everything around me is happening at 1000 m/p. The way you fast-forward a movie, just like that.

I wasn’t expecting having this much success. It’s something I still can’t understand. The truth is that in certain occasions I feel dizzy and I still don’t know how to handle so much attention

I don’t think I have to prove anything to anyone.   I don’t expect anyone to give me any breaks.  I am not one of those people who wants to scream ‘give me a chance. I will show you what I can do.’   You know, I really don’t care. If you do this stuff, then the audience will respond. And if you can’t actually play any other part, that’s all right, too.

I am not very good at taking compliments.   I am one of those annoying people.  If someone tells me I gave a great performance, I say, ‘oh, yeah, yeah’ in a not very interested way.   But if someone says I am bad or something, then I agree with it – although I hate it at the same time.

I don’t know if I like him as a person.   He is a little straight-laced for my liking. He is not rebellious. I think that should be respected.

I can’t watch myself. I am just feeling everybody else’s reaction. I can’t handle that at all.

Because of internet stuff and Twitter, there will be a crowd if you are in a place for more than half an hour.

I’ve learned never to stay in the same place for more than 20 minutes.

At the end of the day, it’s just a part. You just go into it and you live your life. You’re walking down the street and — this a bad analogy — you step on a stone and it flies away and you don’t know where it’s going. And then you’re just trying not to drown. And that’s my life.

I would. I’m just kind of a pussy, I guess. That’s the problem. I’d love to. I think everyone should do open-mic. I think it’s a very healthy thing for your soul. But yeah, I’d love to do it again.

I don’t know if I’m particularly funny. One of my legs is shorter than the other, so it makes everything look really awkward. I can look like an idiot, but I don’t know if I can ever be witty.
