What’s the first thing you say to a girl on a date?
I don’t talk about myself, no way. You can’t show yourself too quickly. You have to find out what she likes before you start talking.

How can they win your heart?
With money!

Anything else?
Infinite pacience.

What do you hate about fame?
I get paranoid; I have to be careful and try to tell who genuienly likes me, and who wants to be with me just so I like them.

And how can you tell if you can trust them?
If you give them your number and they call you right away, you can’t trust them. If they can’t wait to call and call you the very next day, I don’t want to know about them anymore (laughs).

You seem like a hostage of your own success. Would you prefer to go back to the days when you were unknown?
No, if I had that sort of mentality, I would go nuts. It’s annoying to see how people will stop at nothing. You learn a lot about human behavior. It gets irritating. But I wouldnever want to go back to the past.

Where do you live in America?
I’ve been staying in hotels for that past three years.

About Mexico city, a place he visited for less than 48 hours while promoting Twilight he said: “I’ve never seen anything like it. In every city there’s an industrial zone around the airport, and in Mexico city you leave the airport and the entire city is just right there, and it’s immediatly vibrant. I’ve never seen such an active city, I really liked it. Wouldn’t mind living there for a while.

What’s it like to live in hotels all the time?
You get tired. I came close to buying a house in America last year, but I realized it would’ve been very complicated. Too much money and I’m not even sure I’ll work there in the next few years.

What makes you feel at home when you travel for a long time?
I always take my guitar with me. I’ve had it for a few years, but I got a new one recently. I like Skype, it’s amazing how you can communicate with everyone no matter where they are. I used to like the feeling of isolation.I used to leave for a year and not talk to anybody. When I came back to London I realized that your life can collapse if you don’t talk to anybody.

Do you find any similarities between you and Tyler?
In the beginning I thought I could play him close to myself, but it ended up being a different character.

Are you close to your sisters like your character is to his sister?
Yes, very. My sister Liz is older than me, so it’s a bit different. I always wanted a younger sibling. I like working with younger people. Ruby will be amazing when she grows up. She’s so natural in front of the camera. I’ve never worked with anyone as good as her, she’s amazing at improvising and no matter what you say, she doesn’t break character.

Have you ever felt the aggression that Tyler has against life?
I still feel it. It’s an inexplicable anger that’s not directed to anyone in particular. I was never a rebel, but I am now. I always wanted to live like Tyler.

And how do you channel that anger? Do you trash hotel rooms?
Yes, of course. I destroy everything (laughs).I like to control my anger and I channel it throug my work. I’m working on something that requires a lot of angerand it’s exhausting (Bel Ami). I can’t be angry all day, it’s exhausting.

Remember Me talks about how frail life really is. Could you say good-bye to this world right now and be satisfied with what you’ve done?
Yes, in many ways Remember Me talks about how you can achieve happiness. Those brief instants when you realize and say: “Right now, I’m happy”, and how you can live that moment. There’s very few moments like that.

Have you had any of those moments?
Of course I have. Sometimes I’m obsessed with the idea. I can almost time each of these moments, until I feel something else. Those are true moments if peace.

Any moment you can share with us?
When my dog Patty was dying, seeing how she lived her last moments with absolute dignity. That unbreakable pride in her, and her love for me made me feel very happy. She was a big part of the family.

Pierce Brosnan says you have a vey good heart and that you’re humble.
Well, thank you. It’s scary, honestly. I never take fame for granted. It’s not a matter of luck, you have to earn. And somehow I feel like I’ll have to make up for it in the future.

Did you enjoy working with Emilie?
Her role was written as a Hispanic girl from Queens, and I had pictured that in mind already. And all of a sudden the blondest most Australian girl I had ever seen walks in. There’s a toughness about her. After her auditions we went to a bar and she had like 25 beers without losing her sobriety. And I thought “this is going to be fun”.

This is a review of “Remember Me” & contains slight spoilers!!

The 23-year-old Twilight heartthrob Robert Pattinson shows there is more to him than luminescent skin in this strange, unpredictable drama – a curio that’s rather more interesting than US critics let on (it currently rates just 27 per cent fresh on Rotten Tomatoes). The most likely reason for their disdain is something of a spoiler, so we won’t go there except to say that the ending could be seen as opportunistic and gimmicky – though it seems to me earned and thought-provoking.
But enough about endings, let’s go back to the beginning: Pattinson plays Tyler, an ambivalent New York student who seems to be channelling James Dean. He’s a rich kid carrying a big chip on his shoulder since his older brother killed himself shortly after going to work for their father (Pierce Brosnan).

With that anniversary staring him in the face, Tyler is struggling to keep it all together. One night, he has a run-in with a police detective who has anger issues of his own (Chris Cooper). And a few days later, out of the blue, he meets the detective’s daughter, Ally (Emilie de Raven), and chats her up as a sort of payback. One thing leads to another and they fall in love – but what will happen when she takes him to meet her dad?

The director Allen Coulter (Hollywoodland) and the first-time screenwriter Will Fetters let that question percolate in the background while giving us what seems to be a conventional romance. He’s moody and impetuous. She’s prone to eating her dessert before the entrée (why save the best till last?). They hit it off.

But gradually you realise the movie isn’t heading where you thought it was. Coulter seems more interested in the bad blood between Tyler and his dad than a youthful love story would normally demand, not to mention a subplot concerning his precocious little sister Caroline (Ruby Jerins). Then there’s the tragedy in Ally’s background, the murder of her mother when she was just 11.

Charismatic and convincingly inhabiting his American accent, Pattinson seems like the real deal here – Tyler is persuasively intelligent (an aspiring writer), often inarticulate and self-destructive, but always attractive and engaging. A late flash of anger was so violent – in emotion, not physical destruction – it made me gasp. On this evidence Pattinson is a genuine star in the making. De Raven is a sympathetic partner, a far cry from the usual pretty bland thing. Only Tate Ellington lets down a very solid supporting cast, overdoing it a bit as the smart alec best friend.

It would be wrong to overstate the film’s accomplishments. Some of the dialogue is trite and clichéd, the ending is … troubling. But at least it is an attempt to make something reflective of our life and times, and a rare romance that dares to break with convention.

Cartoon Rob has returned!

You might remember last week that I posted a cartoon of Rob by Mexican magazine Quién. Here’s the complete article available on their latest issue (April 2nd), titled 10 Things You Didin’t Know About Robert Pattinson. That explains the cartoon and all the items in it!
Here’s the translation of the article. There are some tiny inaccuracies, but I’ll point them out for you, nothing too big.

1. He modeled for a while and in 2007 he was part of Hackett’s Fall capmpaign.

2. He’s afraid of the dark and can’t sleep without a night light.

3. He plays the piano and the guitar. He played two songs for the Twilight soundtrack, but his name is not in the credits. (Yes, it is! But only one of his two songs is on the actual album)

4. He loves hamburgers and Coke, and if he’s having a bad day, he asks a fan out. (Um, we wish! He only asked a fan out once, in Spain, before he became a huge star, while he was filming Little Ashes. He’s never done it again, he thinks he bores girls. As if!).

5. He prefers public transportation or walking, because he hates driving and even dislikes taxis.

6. He doesn’t play soccer, but he’s a fan of Arsenal.

7. When he was 12 his sisters used to dress him up as a girl and introduce him as Claudia.

8. He misses open mic sessions with his friends (the magazine actually says it’s karaoke, but it’s actually open mic nights at bars). But he’s so afraid to do it again because he doesn’t want to end up on Youtube.

9. He said that the most important being in his life is his dog Patty, a westy that has been with him for years. (Patty died over a yearago, but we only learned that recently).

10. He dislikes sports, but he likes darts, which he considers excercise.

Some may be repeats so I apologize if there are.

The former James Bond star – who plays Robert’s estranged father in the gripping family drama – had to make do with older admirers while the 23-year-old heartthrob soaked up the attention of screaming teenagers.

Pierce, who shot the movie with Robert in New York, told Empire magazine: “I remember being outside the Plaza Hotel in Manhattan. We were shooting in the Oak Room and there were 2,000 girls out there from 12 to 21. Actually, there were some gorgeous looking girls out there, but they weren’t around my caravan. I had the mothers at my end and some beauties there were too! But it was very sedate by my end of the motor homes. I’d walk out and get a hearty cheer. I’d trip up the steps of the Plaza feeling very good with myself that I still have the juice. But as I’d be walking down the corridors into the Plaza I would hear this wave, this cacophony of sound as girls clamoured for Robert. His girls go through the rafters for him.”

The 56-year-old star thinks Robert – who has become an international heartthrob after playing vampire Edward Cullen in the ‘Twilight’ movies – will be able to handle his enormous fame, but he personally finds it almost incomprehensible.

He added: “I never experienced anything like that as a young man of 23. I’m sure he’ll weather the waters swimmingly. He’s a grand lad and I wish him well in every way.”
