“It’s strange because even though the figures show that the books were successful and sold millions of copies, you couldn’t even buy them in London. I tried a couple of bookshops and they weren’t available. Hardly anyone I knew had read them apart from one girl, a friend of my sister. I had no idea at all. I’d seen Kristen Stewart in ‘Into the Wild’ and some of the director’s other films, and that’s all I thought it was, something really small. I don’t think even the production company had any idea the extent of the success they had on their hands until the weekend of its release.”
-“New Moon” star and undead heartthrob Robert Pattinson, talking to the U.K.’s AnOther Man magazine about his initial entry into the “Twilight” franchise. In the interview, Pattinson discussed how he first came to the project and how his current success conflicts with what his actual goals were. “I don’t want to be an actor for the sake of it,” he told the magazine. “I don’t find any particular pleasure in being an attention-seeker.” And even though his starring role in the “Twilight” films will let him write his ticket to any sort of roles he likes once the series is done, he still believes that acting will be an uphill battle for him. “Annoyingly, there are so few parts I feel I can add anything to, or that I want to do,” he said. “[Acting is] the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life.”
