Interview.de His fans were very excited when Robert Pattinson visited Berlin a few weeks ago. The actor wasn't here to promote his role of the vampire in "Twilight", but to present David Cronenberg's film adaptation of Don DeLillo's "Cosmopolis".
We spoke with the Englishman about his old and new roles and also about his best and worst moments of last year.

INTERVIEW: Mr. Pattinson, your hair has gotten longer again. You had your hair cut into a buzz cut back then. Was it for your role in "Cosmopolis" or "Bel Ami?"

ROB: Neither, it was for a movie in which I'm playing a soldier who found Sadam Hussein. The shoot was supposed to start in spring but it was postponed until fall.

INTERVIEW
: Your roles left the fantasy genre and have become more realistic, do you agree?

ROB: As an actor, you just have to be very lucky to get great roles and when I like one, I'll take the opportunity. If they do get more realistic, it's either a coincidence or it happens subconsciously.

INTERVIEW: In front of the "Kino International" here in Berlin - where "Comospolis" will premiere this evening - faithful fans have been camping out since yesterday. Do you think about the possibility of scaring them off with such roles [as yours in Comospolis]? Your fans might want to see the vampire Edward Cullen instead of Eric Packer, a billionaire with an identity crisis.

Metric's Emily Haines talks about Rob and Working on Music for his films

Watch at  Washington Post Jul. 10, 2012 - Metric's Emily Haines discusses the band's work on music for films like "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" and "Cosmopolis" - and the coincidence that both movies star Robert Pattinson.

 Transcription "We actually met him recently and we laughed about that, he's a really good guy. We ended up hanging out at his house and having this like kind of, we were just like, 'do we have this weird six degrees of separation, or less, one degree of separation from him' but it's a complete coincidence, it's funny. "

Rob's Interview with Wirtschafts Woche

Photobucket Translation by @McAvoyDi Via  RPLife

Wiwo/WirtschaftsWoche:Thanks to the "Twilight" movies you're one of the big earners in the movie industry.
Pattinson: There you're mistaken. This is greatly exaggerated.

But you have sufficient available financial resources to invest. What principles do you follow?
I do not have any, because I'm not very good at spending money or investing. I have simply no idea. Okay, I've spent money on a house, but I hardly use it because I travel so much.

Real estate is still a reasonable investment.
Yes, but I don't think so. The whole financial world makes no sense to me. Only then when everything goes wrong. Because their categories are absolutely absurd, it's based only on illusions. Why should Facebook suddenly be worth over $100 billion?

Appropriately,you're now playing an finance genius in your new movie "Cosmopolis" . Were you aware of the relevance of this story?
Everyone who sees the film, says that it deals with the fall of capitalism. But when we shot it, nobody thought of that. For us, the movie was about the absurdity of power in general. The protagonist didn't necessarily have to be a financial shark. But appropriately enough the "Occupy Wall Street" movement started just at that time. And the movie scenes that show the insurgents look like a reflection of the events.

Would you tried to join the Occupy movement since you already don't have a great opinion of the financial world?
Absolutely. However, the people would think me hypocritical if I did that. Although I agree with many of the principles of this movement. Ever since working on this movie, I became even more sensitive to it, more aware.

It is so ridiculous that people who want nothing more than lead a normal life, have to work for minimal wage to do so, while a minority has so much money available, that they lost touch with it. For them it has become pure gambling. And the law has no meaning anymore.

Then I ask myself: Why do I vote at all anymore? The President has no say. It's just typical that my character in the film has absolutely no idea who the President is. You become so successful that every aspect of life is only an abstraction. Even the success as such means nothing to you anymore.

Is this true for you?
I am well aware that I had luck with the "Twilight" movies. I've literally fallen into a made nest. They say you have to earn your luck. For me it is the opposite. I will work every single day for the next ten years to justify this.

So in the real life, you don't drive in limousins where you don't notice what is going on around you - like your character in "Cosmopolis"?
Not really. But even if I did that, then it was necessary, because me and my "Twilight" colleagues were chased by fans. One time the driver accidentally turned into a parking garage - and a whole lot of people came after us. It was like "Jurassic Park".
I'm not at all shielded from reality. And the people around me contradict me constantly. So much, that sometimes it really gets on my nerves (Laughs).

Rob's Interview with Welt OnLine

Photobucket Welt OnLine (Translation by Google)
Berlin (DAPD). Actor Robert Pattinson has previously kept away because of self-doubt ambitious roles. "I have now signed up for many projects that last year I would have thought that I wasn't good enough for them as an actor," said the "Twilight" actor to DAPD news in Berlin. The turning point was the drama "Cosmopolis," that recently was in competition at the Cannes Festival.

"As an actor, if you are invited to Cannes, you see yourself in a different light," said the 26-year-old Briton. His response: "Maybe I can make really cool movies."

After nude scenes in the period drama "Bel Ami", Pattinson had in "Cosmopolis" for director David Cronenberg drop the cases. "I'm always very inhibited, because I'm English," confessed the actor. "Everyone else always feels so comfortable in their own skin on sex scenes. I'm the one that falls into a panic." Trust it to the director, it would be easier. "If you shoot a movie you don't really like, you feel yourself just a little like a prostitute."

In the film adaptation of Don DeLillo's novel "Cosmopolis," Pattinson plays a financial shark who is personally and professionally before the crash. The film will be on Thursday (5 July).via RPLife

Rob's Interview with Focus OnLine (Germany)

Focus.de "Acting has nothing to do with the brain, it exists for thousands of years already. And it is only since the 50s, since Lee Strasberg, that it became analytical," the 26-year-old said to FOCUS.

 "Actors need a voice and a face – and maybe balls," said the Briton, who lives in Hollywood. In his new film “Cosmopolis”, on the 5th of July in the German cinemas, Pattinson embodies a multi-billion punters. Personally, the young multi-millionaire has no experience with financial investment, or fund shares.

He spends his money on "completely silly things like dog food"told Pattinson. "Or for telephone bills. I never get a European cell phone when I’m here. And then suddenly I have to pay $20,000."

Rob's Interview with Cicero Online

Photobucket Cicero.de Google Translate/Via Gossipgyal

Mr. Pattinson as Eric Packer is leaving once his aura, his limo, and now he is attacked with a cake. Was there a similar moment in your career?
Strangely, I have a similar scene in "Water for Elephants" shot.  But otherwise, no, not that I know of.  Maybe in a metaphorical sense ...

No aggressive paparazzi and overzealous fans?
 No, that has been trusted, no one.  Thank God that would have otherwise had a bad injury.


How would you describe your character in the movie?
 Eric Packer is a man who looks at the whole world very abstract, himself, his body, his fellow men.  He wears egomaniacal trains and lives in its deepest interior withdrawn, in a world where there is not the actual reality.  Throughout the film, he finally tries to regain control of his body, about himself, until he gives up completely at the end.

What will remain of Eric Packer?
 It's weird.  I had to remember me as much text and I thought these lines would disappear from my head as soon as each scene is filmed.  But the words are still there, I can still memorize the entire script.  It sounds stupid now, but there are times a day, which I quote passages DeLillo, error-free.  David (Cronenberg) always says: "It's like the Bible!  There is a quote for every occasion! "Somehow DeLillo's words are still with me arrested.  Its importance is more and more aware.  Especially in the scene with Samantha Morton, as we talk about the future, there are passages that haunt me literally.

Rob and David Cronenberg's Interview with Filmstarts (Germany)

Rob talks about his character, Eric Packer. "People who are the most normal are probably the most crazy."
Also talks about the parallelism of DeLillo's story to the modern times, also mentions the Jeffrey Dahmer vid research. He also talks about Eric's world affecting the other characters.

Talks about the Cosmopolis and movie trends "Why is there no American new wave? Its like every other country has a new wave, every one else has a renaissance of movie making, but American actors, English actors are so scared to do anything other than franchise stuff, its crazy. I don't know...maybe it's because I've already done a franchise."

Talks about his character. Talks about his career perspective after Twilight's success.
Rob talks about the Cosmopolis script, "it's quite complex... I like the lyricism of the script when I first read it, but in terms of really understanding it. I didn't really get it until we started shooting, then I started getting the rhythm and feeling of it..."
