It's strange because people just immediately relate you to the character right away rather than you as an actor. Everybody hated me at the beginning, universally. It is kind of weird. When you read the description of him, it says he's so beautiful it hurts to look at him. I think it's kind of difficult to act that so I wouldn't really know how to go about doing it. I hope there's been a lot of post production." [Rob on the Twilight phenomenon]

The only difference is the action scenes aren't really in the book because the book's written from Bella's perspective, and most of the time she's either unconscious or everybody's moving too quickly so they don't know what's going on. All the action stuff is put in so you can see it." [On Twilight’s adaptation to film]

"I try to be nice to people and stuff but not really. That's kind of what a lot of the story is about, Edward deciding to go against his kind of base instincts. He knows he's a vampire and he knows what vampires do is go around killing people. That's kind of the whole point in being a vampire. Denying that, it's kind of boring. The other thing as well, the Cullens don't act like superheroes at all which is really strange. They have all these super powers and they don't go around helping people or saving anyone. They just want to have as normal life as possible. Literally I save Bella's life and I could have saved some other people's lives and I just don't." [On the Cullen’s lifestyle]
