Robert Pattinson was interviewed b MTV Radio where he talked about his trademark brooding, being compared with James Dean and many more.
MTV: How do you like not biting someone?
Robert Pattinson: I bit people in this! [Laughs.] No, I didn’t. It’s different. I feel like I’m missing out on something, but it’s a relief not having all that makeup on.
MTV: What attracted you to this role?
Pattinson: I read it after the first “Twilight” film, and I always liked it. It was always in the back of my mind. And then the opportunity came up between the second and third ones, which was a small period of time, so you can only do a certain type of movie. I was trying to remember all the little things I’d read, and this was perfect, and it didn’t need any real prep time or anything. There was something different about it. It didn’t fit into a typical teen movie, and it seemed quite realistic.
MTV: People say you remind them of James Dean. Do you count him as an influence?
Pattinson: I think James Dean was one of the most influential people on young guys — especially actors — definitely in the last 50 years. I’m not ashamed to say I am very much influenced by him.
MTV: This character bears many similar traits to Edward Cullen. Are you worried about being typecast at all?
Pattinson: Maybe I am brooding and wounded, and I’m just realizing it. [Laughs.] No, I’m not. You take little steps [as you go from role to role]. I’m always quite aware of how people are going to view things, and you have to go halfway. If I did something playing a 400-pound woman, people are going to judge it a bit more harshly than other people who’ve been doing character parts for 20 years. All the projects I’m doing, I’m not doing in a calculated way, but they seem like little baby steps towards other things. What I’m doing now is intensity — I like that. It’s what I like in characters.
