There was nothing new in the German interview Rob did while promoting Water for Elephants, but we hadn't seen this picture. Thanks schnuffel1990 :)



In an interview with Donna Moderna magazine (Italy), Rob shares his thoughts on moving on from Edward, his take on love, and much more. 

Translation by CSI Robsten:

-Where's your house?


"I don't have one. Or rather, I have my parents' house in London, but my room has become a sort of warehouse where I leave the stuff I can't take with me. I can't take too many things, 2-3 bags at most. That's why I always wear the same clothes."


- We will see you in Breaking Dawn part 1 and 2 soon.

"They are the harder movies of the series, and I wonder how they're going to distribute them with a PG 13 rating. There are a lot of sex scenes and so many other things that are not suitable for children" (his look gets mischievous and cheerful)


- How similar are you to Edward?

"We both think sex without love doesn't make sense"


-What if they asked you to keep playing this role?

"That's a closed chapter. I've just finished filming Bel Ami where I play a cynical, seducer, social-climber. Then I will be the main character in David Cronemberg's Cosmopolis. I'll play the role of an American millionaire who, within 24 hours in Manhattan, lives his descent into hell. I still can't believe I'll be working with a director like Cronemberg. And I even wanted to quit acting after Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire! Nobody wanted me, while my band was starting to sign its first contracts and earn some money. Then I got offered the role of Salvador Dalì in Little Ashes. After that movie I realized I really liked acting and put music aside."


- So you won't play a romantic role ever again?

"Never say never. But I need to change a bit, or either the audience and I would get bored eventually."


Panic: we're already orphan because of Leonardo Di Caprio, will we be orphan because him as well? It would be a bad piece of news since I'm interviewing the romantic hero Pattinson on the romantic wedding day between William and Kate. I don't even have the time to finish the sentence that he asks

"How did the Royal Wedding go? Have they already kissed?"

Yes, the kind of kiss you and Kristen shared in public...And there's back his polite and irresistible smile, as he explains "I've been avoiding this topic for years, but I can say I love big love stories"

New picture with Rob

Bibischatzi found this great article on TZ (German newspaper April 26th). She did her best to translate the interview with Rob for us. He talks about his support for the WWF, the day he adopted Bear, and why he could never be a veterinarian. Some quotes seem familiar, but others are new. Great interview.

I am not a romantic person

From a vampire to a veterinarian: After his performances in the Twilight trilogy, Robert Pattinson (24) keeps his image nowadays as the biggest idol in teenage-love being the rosy-cheeked veterinarian Jacob in the new movie "Water For Elephants."

In his private life he seems to go easy on love. When asked about his relationship with Kristen Stewart, Rob said to tz-Hollywood correspondent Dierk Sindermann:

"I like being in love." Does this prove all the rumors about the break-up with Kristen Stewart? Rob confirms:

"At the moment I'm busy promoting my new movie Water For Elephants"

So you have no time for romance?

Robert Pattinson: In general I'm not a romantic person. When I was 14, I put a flower on the chair of a classmate. She thought it was from someone else. (laughs) I decided that that was the end of me with being romantic.

Let's try it with reality. What's the ideal quality you look for in a woman?

Robert Pattinson: Her sense for independence. In a relationship you risk to blend personalities.

Most of the time it's the kiss of death.

Talking about kisses. There had been a celebrity auction, where a kiss from you has been auctioned. For 20-thousand dollars...

Robert Pattinson: I've never seen any of this money. It was for a good cause.

So for what are you engaged with (what cause do you support)?

Robert Pattinson: I was involved with the World Wildlife Fund, for protecting tigers. They're endangered animals.

Sorry Rob, but Leonardo di Caprio was first.

Robert Pattinson: Oh really?.. what really is in my heart, is the importance of children to get an education. I would like to join an organization that motivates kids to read books.

Do you have any time for this? Water for Elephants is in cinemas and you're shooting the big final of the Twilight-Saga. Two parts at once.

Robert Pattinson: It feels like I have been a vampire my whole life time. I can't wait to get rid of the make up

and finally to get rid of these bloody contact lenses.

How was it for a change to work with circus animals?

Robert Pattinson: Great. Finally no egos on set. Not even by the biggest star.

Reese Witherspoon?

Robert Pattinson: No, Rosie, the elephant.

How did you win her heart?

Robert Pattinson: With a lot of Jelly Beans.

Who do you understand better? The elephant or your admirers?

Robert Pattinson: The elephant. Absolutely. Cause there's logic in their game.

If you give her her favorite food, she does tricks.. (laughs) I haven't figured out how this works with my fans.
Maybe you should've become a vetenerian instead of playing as one in a movie?

Robert Pattinson: That would not be for me. As a veterinarian you have to keep the suffering of animals in perspective.

I can't do this. My heart is bleeding. I'm one of these guys who'd adopt a whole animal shelter.
Who keeps you from doing it?

Robert Pattinson: Thank God that Kristen was with me. So we just adopted one dog. A mutt. We called him bear.

If you could be an animal, which would it be?

Robert Pattinson: Maybe a rat. Sometimes I feel like one (grins). No seriously, I want to be a dog. It matches my lifestyle. If I didn't have to stand daily in front of the cameras for 16 or 17 hours, then I would hang around, watch TV and do nothing.

Do you think that the Twilight hype will stop after Breaking Dawn?

Robert Pattinson: All the chitchat surrounding me, has something to do with Twilight.

And that's why it will end after this, hopefully. Because I have a boring life.

You won't have any withdrawal symptoms when the girls stop stalking and following you?

Robert Pattinson: Their love don't belong to me, but rather to a fictional character.

And this confusion goes for all ages. Not long ago a woman followed me in the airport with her autograph pad.

She stuck to her guns. "Robert I love you" "Robert I love you for real" "Robert you have no idea of how much I love you"

I asked her "How old are you" Her answer "92"

Not funny?

Robert Pattinson: Really. But the 12 year-olds say the same.

How do you assure your girlfriend that she doesn't have to be jealous of all the admirers?

Robert Pattinson: By not sleeping with them. Oh god, that sounded horrible!

Rob talked to Que.es while promoting Water for Elephants in Barcelona. He mentioned taking a paycut to work on the film, and admitted he once considered taking a break from acting:

Is it true you reduced your pay rate to be with Reese Witherspoon and Christoph Waltz in the cast of Water for Elephants?

Yes, it is. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with admitting it. Usually the best paychecks come with the worst jobs (laughs)…

During promotion for New Moon you suggested taking a year of sabbatical, is that idea still rolling around in your head?

The truth is I thought about it very seriously. I thought that I’d do it once I finished filming all the Twilight Saga films, but…right now is not the right time, offers are storming in and it’s not the time to stop

Read the rest at Let Me Sign.


UPDATE: Rob's red carpet interview with Spanish show Vuélveme loca is in, and the BEST part is left for last.



Translation (by us):

Today in Vuélveme loca we bring you the 'Greatest Show on Earth,' because we attended the Water for Elephants premiere. Everything is ready because the stars from the film, Robert Pattinson and Reese Witherspoon are about to arrive.

*How long have you been waiting here? (to fans) -"Since yesterday morning".

*Are you gonna try and get his autograph? - "That's what I'm hoping for" Wohoo!

*What time did you get there? (to older fan) "Since nine in the morning" - you have some years on you (us: lol!)

This is what's happening here, let's see if they get here soon. And Robert Pattinson appears! - euphoria in Barcelona!

Robert Pattinson is signing for all of his fans that have been waiting for him for more than twelve hours.

Hi Robert, welcome to Spain. - Rob: "Thanks a lot."

Overwhelmed? - Rob: "Loud" - "This is crazy."

When you see this what do you think? - Rob: "It's always unexpected" - "I haven't been in Spain, in like seven years."

This is your second time here? Rob: "Yes, but this is the loudest (crowd?) that I've heard in the world."

All the girls have your face plastered on the front of their folders, when you pass by a school what do you think? - Rob: "Great."

That could be dangerous. Rob: "Absolutely" "I run as fast as I can."

In this movie you play a veterinarian, in your real life do you have a pet?

Rob: "I have a dog. He's small now, but's he'll be a big dog."

You are prince William'cousin, did he invite you to the wedding? - Rob: "that he's part of my family?, no, I don't even know him."

(interview with Christoph Waltz - he asks him where he keeps his Oscar, goes to clips with other people saying where. Christoph says: "Mine keeps moving" "I have it trained") lol..

(Then he talks to Francis Lawrence. Francis says working on Lady Gaga videos has helped him with directing films - Is it harder to work with animals or Lady Gaga? - Francis: "Lady Gaga" "Animals do what you tell them") again, lol..

(With Reese he talks about working with animals, was she afraid?: - she answers "Poquito miedo" (a little) - She says she'd only been to Madrid, She has a lot of animals at home, and then reporter gives her the equivalent of a Spanish Oscar. A can of "the best olives in Spain".)

(Then there's another Francis clip, where *here's a fact we didn't know* Francis says his wife is from Pamplona "there's great bulls there" making a comment after reporter tells him his name is "Torito" or small bull. Francis goes on to say he'd love to do a film in Spain, then thanks the show in Spanish).

(Back to Reese, who he asks if she can sing anything, she belts out "Pam Panamericano" - we've added the remix version below for your pleasure).



FINALLY.. we get to THE Rob part.

Sign me an autograph: for Torito. Torito, little bull. Tells Rob "Gracias Rey" (thank you King), then gives away the autograph to a fan.

Okay! Robert! wrap it up for us. - Rob: "It doesn't have lenses" "I look really smart" - We say goodbye with Robert Pattinson. Rob: "Adios Familia".


Our favorite interview by far.. Torito rocks!

Enjoy the cheap little caps we made.. (but that we could look at for days).
