Tú magazine released the second portion of their interview with Rob. We translated the first half, which was featured on their latest issue, on sale now (if you can buy it, you must, it features a huge Rob poster). You can read that here, scans here. Skipping familiar quotes as usual and posting what sounds new to me, or that I know for sure I haven’t posted on this site.

You worked with Reese before, but what was it like working with Christoph? He really makes you suffer in the movie?
He’s great, all actors were. We had an amazing support system. You got back what you gave onset. Reese and Chris, both, are unstoppable, and theyre kind and encourage everybody on set. It was a great experience.

How do you prepare for a movie? Do you talk to someone for advice?
Not really. I feel like I need to prove myself, but I don’t have to look for advice from people. Sometimes people give me advice, but it turn into a great conversation. Most actors do really love acting, and I love talking about it with them. For instance, during Remember Me Allen Coulter and Pierce Brosnan were talking heatedly about a scene, and I just said ‘Just do it, what’s the big deal?’ (laughs), and they’d be all ‘You just don’t understand!’ (laughs).

The rest of the interview is the one we read before about him being a hoarder and not being able to get rid of things and loving Kate Moss as a teen.

By the way, I never have to type the word (laughs) more, if ever, than when I’m translating a Rob interview. He just can’t stop laughing in interviews, not once. I wonder what’s the record of (laughs) I’ve typed out in a single translation? If you’ve counted, let me know (laughs).

Rob definitely has the Royal Wedding Fever and he’ll be watching the ceremony tonight. According to Britain’s Times Magazine, he’s perfectly aware of Kate’s new responsabilities:

“It’s going to be hard because people will lay responsibilities on her that seem totally irrelevant. You can’t mess up, either. As an actor, you can kind of mess up, but not if you’re a royal. I’ve always liked the members of the royal family who couldn’t care less what anyone thinks: the ones who go, ‘I’m royalty — so shut up!’ That’s one of the coolest things about England, I think, that we still have this crazy old system in place. … I’ll definitely be watching the royal wedding. I mean, they’re absolutely obsessed with it in America. It’s insane … but I guess it’s kind of a big deal. Actually, I think it’s really sort of fascinating.”

Are you watching the Royal Wedding?

Milenio (Mexico) has posted online a new interview with Rob. Some quotes are slightly new, but about the same stuff we’ve heard before, so I’m only translating the new quotes. He talks about films, the Mexican cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto and animals. Enjoy!

On trained animals:
“I prefer working with animals that with people. What I love about them is that they don’t know if you’re a star or not. There’s long takes where all you do is react to what they do. It’s like working with a baby, but they’re all good babies.”

On cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto:
“His work is amazing. We took big chances. The inital take where you can see the people building the circus tent is amazing. The scene with 300 people literally getting off a train and mounting a tent was shot in one single take. Francis and Rodrigo wanted to film the scene on sunset, so we had to be accurate. I was worried about that, but Francis calmed me down.”

A sweet new anecdote from Reese in Vanity Fair:
“That was my first movie ever. I had no experience as an actor, I got the job by accident and I was absolutely terrified. Reese came over to my trailer before filming and said ‘Do you want to go over the lines? Do you want to rehearse the scene?’. She was already incredibly famous at the time and had no obligation to do it. It wa sgreat working with her that time.”

On fame:
“I don’t think much about fame. You expect people to live you for who you are and not what they see. But from the get go i never saw myself as famous. Before Twilight I never got stud roles. So it’s funny how now everybody turns around and looks at you differently,” he comments on being named one of People’s Most Beautiful.

Quick new tidbits:

- He’s addicted to iPhone games.
- He cried the last time he saw Tai on set.
- He loved the jazz music in New Orleans: “I thought I should be doing that instead!”
- “I miss soccer, I like Arsenal.”
- He likes politics: “That’s something I could do. I would like to part of a newly formed democracy.”

Cinemanía (Mexico) published an interview with Rob from the set of Water for Elephants last month, and for this month’s issue (out now) they have published a second new interview with new deets and quotes. A few little quotes on the pictures sound familiar, so I skipped them. It’s one of those insightful interviews about fame and working in films, with added points of view from the reporter. A really good read. Enjoy!

Rob enters the room with a happy and kind disposition, but the sharp-eyed can notice his subtle shield. It’s almost invisible, but it’s there, and who can blame him? The harassment this young 24 year old has suffered for the past three years could send anyone to the psych guard. He puts his best face forward with the media and he dissembles with a beautiful smile, but in any case he doesn’t welcome everything that fame has brought with it.
The reason for the meeting is for promotion of his new movie WFE, a film that he’s satisfied with. Practically, all he can talk about is the elehapnt Tai, with whom he filmed several scenes. Was it hard working with animals?, did his perception of the circus change as far as the treatment he animals receive in circus? “I don’t know much about the subject, but I know circus have a bad fame. None of our animals came from a circus. I know how hard it is to train them and how they can get hurt. The horses on our set took months in learning new tricks, so if anything happened to any of them, there was no back up, so a new one would have needed training. I understood just how dangerous it is to keep a circus. To me, working with the animals made everything easier. You have an elephant in the scene and she may do whatever she wants to do, so that makes your reactions all natural. All of a sudden you have a huge face and trunk in front of you, but nobody expects a perfect shot because we know it’s a wild animal, so whatever happens, happens. It’s not like the elephant has to hit her mark, so that relaxed me.”
Was any beast scary? “Yes, the zebras. They’re a lot smarter than horses, and you cannot control them. They will break lose even if you tie them down. They’ll drag themselves until they break free, and if they can’t break free they won’t stop kicking violently until they do. One escaped and started chasing me one day. I managed to get away from it. Then I found out that Chris actually put himself in front of the animal to protect Reese, and I thought “How silly to risk your life like that”, but then he confessed me that he couldn’t move because Reese was holding him in front of her like a human shield. I thought it was hilarious how everyone on set thought he was a hero” the actor shares amused.

Officially an adult.

In this movie Rob looks to solidify himself as a serious actor and leaving behind young cinema. Francis Lawrence says he chose him becayse he noticed he was already a man, and wise beyond his years. Do you feel grown up? “Kinda… and not really. It’s weird when you do this for a living: you feel trapped in a bubble all the time, especialy with fame. I never meet anyone new, I have the same conversations over and over again, so you don’t get to grow. You mature through relationships you make with the people around you, new people, and new situations, seeing things from different perspectives. But I go through the same trivial sh-t all the time when I talk to people…” What do you mean, I interrupt him, he nods slightly embarrassed: “Eventually this starts hurting your brain, you forget how to have a normal conversation,” he adds honestly, “but I found that being involved with other aspects of filming, like going to production meetings, actually helps me a lot. So people treat you like an ingeneer during the whole process: that’s why I want to focus more on the active part of production, so that people can come to me with the problems and I’ll solve them. That will balance things out. Because if you’re an actors, things will be kept from you so you won’t be worried or get angry. It’s insane. You feel overprotected,” he complains.

Of love and other phobias.

When talking about privacy he says: “The more people there are around you, the crazier things get. Even if you’re tell the truth, it no longer becomes more real to other people than all the gossip that people talk about you in the media, and you end up actually gossiping about your own life.”
We can feel his phobia after telling him he must have a hard time walking down the streets. “I hate having my picture taken. Even before this, I never let my mom take pictures of me,” he confesses as though he was afraid his soul could be captured by the camera. However, he’s an actor, we point out. “It’s weird because onset it doesn’t bother me, but in other situations I completely avoid it, especially if people are following me around. It wears me out. If someone chooses to way outside and follow me for 24 hours, and they’re getting paid for it, they’ll do it for their entire lives if I allow it,” he explains. This is why he doesn’t have a permanent adress and lives in hotels. What do you do about it? “I shoot them,” (laughs) he says half joking… half serious.

Featured quotes on pictures:

“To me, a happy life is the one where you only do things that you’re proud of, and nothing else in particular. I just got a new dog and I’m very happy with him. As you can see I really don’t need much.”

“This is not the conventional love story, where there’s pride and jealous and things. This one is sweet. Jacob knows he doesn’t intend to steal Marlena, nor try to make her his, he just wants her to realize the potential she has, and he wants her to love herself like he loves her”.

Article conclusion: “I would love to do theater, although I can already imagine people trying to take pictures the whole time. It’s too much for me. A stage actor is very generous, gives everything from himself, and it this point I don’t think I can deliver that much,” he adds. He’s perception is not incorrect. Everybody wants a piece of Robert Pattinson. His defensive attitude only corresponds to keping fame from tearing him apart.

OK Magazine Mexico features a new interview with Rob on their latest issue, out now. Again, some quotes may sound familiar, while others are new. I hadn’t posted a remotely similar interview to this one on this site, but there may have been a similar one out there. Who knows. Too much stuff at this point. In any case, here’s the full translation. Enjoy!

What attracted you to show business?
Close to my house there was a theater company that met with kids on Fridays and Sundays. I thought that it was something I wanted to try out, I liked the environment and I worked backstage for three years. Then I joined two plays and all of a sudden, before I realized it, I had an agent. Mi first audition was for Troy with Brad Pitt*, and I was very excited. Then I landed the role in Vanity Fair with Reese. I was 17. I travelled then to South Africa for a movie, had my own hotel suite for three months and a good salary. I thought “I’m a real actor now!” (laughs).

Do you enjoy the risks that come with your profession?
At first I thought they were fun, but now I’m not so sure. Sometimes I’d like to just stay in my hotel, with no bodyguard all the time, but it’s just something that you learn to live with.

How do you deal with obsessive fans?
Many actors incite and ecourage these attitudes in fans because they feel it will garantee a longer career. I feel the opposite way, you should not over saturate your image because people can get tired of you.

What do you do to relax when you’re alone in your hotel room?
What do I do? Nothing really, getting drunk? (laughs). I’m terrible.

Do you completely avoid public places now?
Yes, it really gets to me. When I have free time I wish I could just go out and take a long walk. But I can’t and I rather avoid trouble.

And how to do you avoid it?
I don’t go to crowded places, people in this town are willing to sell you out. People who at bars and restaurants, even the actual clients, sell you out (laughs), it’s very strange, everybody wants to get something from you, they’re willing to do anything for it.

And if eveything ended tomorrow, would you miss it?
I don’t think so. If I never had a chance to act again, I’d do what I could to keep working in movies somehow. But I’m sure I’d find a way to get back into acting.

Would you have preferred if your fame had come to you a little later in life?
I don’t think it would’ve made a difference; there’s people who become famous after 40, and for them it feels the same way it feels to me. This profession isolates you, no matter how old you are.

Do you miss London?
Yes, absolutely. I miss the light, even if that sounds silly. The light in London is very special. I miss the smell of the city and the beer.

How do you handle fame?
I was thinking about it the other day. Nobody asks me to do anything or to go some place. When I’m not working I call the people I know to see if anyone has plans for the night and see if they’ll invite me (laughs).

Do you have a favorite book?
Money, Martin Amis.

Do you still write music?
I have to be absolutely depressed to write music. I can only write music when I wake up crying in the morning.

What makes you cry?
I watched The March of the Penguins and it got to me.

What are your future plans? Are you planning on staying in the same film genre?
I like this movie. It’s a big step for me. Then I’m doing Cosmopolis. I might produce something again.

Have you ever faked anything?
All the time. When people asks me questions I fake answers (laughs). When I moved to LA, someone asked me “What have you worked in?”, and I’d say I had studied in Oxford and had taken acting classes at the RADA (The Roayal Academy of Dramatic Arts) (laughs).

So did you really study acting?
My first acting experience was in my theater group, and that’s it. I never had proper training as an actor, thought it might have been a good idea.

Do you really like animals?
I had a dog for 18 years, Patty, she was amazing. A few days ago I got a new dog in Louisiana, I have no idea what breed he is, I think he’s a mutt. He looks like a hiena.

And how did you handle working with so many animals, like the elephant?
Francis took me to see the elephants at their ranch before reading the script. When I got there he was casually playing with a baby elephant. The trained was there, and everybody was doing tricks, catching balls, and I rode one of the elephants. I had a fantastic time. I think I really connected with them. And that when I decided that even if it was the worst movie in the world, I would be involved in it. I had to work with that elephant (laughs).

*I imagine he auditioned for the role of Patroclus, Achilles’ young cousin and only teen role in the movie. The role went to Garrett Hedlund:
