Robert Pattinson agreed to play in Twilight a little too quickly . He didn’t anticipate the ordeal it would be for him.
He thought the books were completely stupid and hoped the movies would move away from that.
Once he was stuck in the role and the machine was running, he waited it out. But with each new film release, he grew more and more disillusioned and gradually began to say what he really thought about the crap he was in.
It’s very entertaining to see him puke on movies even though he’s supposed to be promoting them!
A small (non-exhaustive) anthology of quotes taken from his interviews:
“When I read the first book, I felt like it was something unfinished that wasn’t supposed to come out.”
“The author of the book, Stephanie Meyers, is crazy…”
“When I was reading the book, I realized that Stephanie Meyers was Bella, and that this book was some kind of sexual fantasy that she had. It was a bit like reading her diary. It made me feel uncomfortable. This woman seems to be in love with a fictional character that she created…”
“In the book, my character is described as being so beautiful that it breaks your heart to look at him. Okay… Then she writes: “even in the rain, he looked like he stepped out of a hair gel commercial.” That’s when I had to take a break from reading, it was too bad…”
“I don’t understand why girls like these books. It’s beyond me.”
“When you look at my character coldly, he’s a guy who’s killed 40 or 50 people. And he tells his girlfriend that he’s dying to kill her, every day. He tells her that every moment he spends with her, he wants to kill her. And she says, ‘I don’t care, I love you!’ Obviously, she’s got a big problem, this girl! And he’s not quite clean either…”
“The filming is extremely unpleasant. I have these lenses in my eyes that hurt like crazy and make me look stoned or constipated, take your pick.”
“The story is incoherent. Vampires have books galore about their history, entire libraries, and they’re all geniuses who are 300 years old or older, but when they look for information on a baby vampire, they go to Google Images! Ridiculous…”
“Nothing in this story makes sense. Don’t try to understand. Why is my character going to high school? He’s over 100 years old! What the hell is he going to do in high school!?”
