Here is the translated interview:
Q: How uncomfortable is it, being called the new Leonardo diCaprio?
A: I think it’s not fair, especially to him. He was nominated for an Oscar when he was eleven years old or something .I don’t consider myself to be his successor.

Q: Your face is now in every teenage girl’s room. How do you feel as a teenage idol? A: It’s interesting. I never thought I would cause such reactions to people. I never thought that pale skin can be considered so sexy. But it’s funny. When I was in school, no one expected something like that from me. However, some years later, everything changed.
Q: Can you still walk on the street like a normal person though? You could become the victim of hoards of young girls.
A: Not really. Things change very fast in the big cities. When you’re in a restaurant, it makes sense for people to gather outside. On the other hand, it depends on how much you’re interested in something like that.
Q: You have a real passion for music. You also wrote a song for the first movie’s soundtrack. Have you left your music endeavors behind you or is there still room for rock music in your heart?
A: I’ve started playing a little bit more now. During the shooting of the third movie I wrote some songs. I don’t know if I’m going to do something with them.
Q: You have a band, if I’m not mistaken?
A: Not anymore. I used to have a band when I was fifteen. But music remains very important for me. I just don’t want to release an album now because it will be like Edward Cullen’s new album.
Q: So, is acting more important for you?
A: It is as important as music, but it is dangerous to give myself to both at the same time. I think it’s better to focus on one or the other.
Q: Is it annoying being confused with your character, Edward Cullen?
A: You just have to wait and see how people will take you. If people still see me as Edward Cullen in 25 years, I think I might have to murder someone.
Q: How’s the ideal date for you?
A: I have no idea. I’m not at all good at dating.
Q: Don’t you go out on dates in England, like in America?
A: We don’t “go out on dates” in England. If you go out with a girl once, then she’s your girlfriend. Otherwise, you’re a womanizer.
Q: So you’re monogamous?
A: Yes, one girl at a time!!!
Q: Many reviewers have said that Stephanie Meyer’s books are nothing more than a metaphor for sexual repression. Do you agree with that interpretation?
A: There is a meaning to the story, even without trying to find the hidden metaphors. I didn’t even know S. Meyer was a Mormon and it didn’t affect me at all when I learnt that.
Q: What are your favorite vampire movies?
A: I’ve always liked “Blade”.
Q: How about Jack Nicholson in Wolf?
A: Jack Nicholson in general. He is the reason I wanted to be an actor.
Q: How does it feel being in the company of other established stars?
A: The truth is that stars don’t particularly impress me. But I meet them when I go to talk shows. That’s when I get nervous because I try to be funny and smart at the same time. I try to find the right joke for the right moment and, damn, that’s not even my job.

Q: Do you ever dream of vampires?
A: No. And to be honest I rarely dream at all. It’s annoying.
Q: Together with Kristen Stewart you share the luck of having become famous with just one movie. How much have you bonded with her because of that?
A: It’s wonderful knowing that you’re working with people that are at the beginning of their career as well, covering the same distance. We are all at a very crucial point in our lives. I think we will never forget the days of Twilight.
Q: Are you at all excited with all the new fame you have gained?
A: Sometimes you give interviews and you’re so tired answering the same questions over again and saying different stuff. I gave 2 interviews recently to 2 magazines and when I read them one after the other they made me look like someone who wants to kill himself. I don’t know. It will probably take me a lot of time to realize what has happened to me.
