Do you have a ’5-year-plan’?
P: Every movie I shoot, should be screened in Cannes. When I made the decision to do David Cronenberg’s Cosmopolis, all of sudden more other stuff was possible. David helped me to become an actor.
You are 27 years old now. It’s a dangerous age for the showbusinnes and as well for the emotional household.
P: Do you ask if I’m going to die this year? I was Edward Cullen long enough. I have a new life since the Cronenberg movie, the people talk to you like to an adult. They thought in the Twilight-time I’m just famous. And no one can stand famous people.
Why do you think that?
P: It’s like the ‘uber-pattinson-powerfactor’. Suddently faces appear out of nowhere and become rich and famous. It’s edgy for the other people.
All the presents, special treatments was good for your self concious. What is really important to you to feel sure about yourself though?
P: For me it was and it is my family. I even leave them to chose the scripts’
You let your family decide over your next career steps?
P: Yes. They have lot of stress because of me. They didn’t choose to become the family of ‘Twilight-Pattinson.’ And sadly, they get lots of visits from the paparazzis.
How would you want to be? Which actor do you look up at when you think about your future?
P: Joaquin Phoenix. His acting effects his personal life.
In his documentation about himself, he makes fun of Hollywood and he doesn’t want to be an actor anymore.
P: I don’t want to be an actor forever as well
What then? Will you start a business in Silicon Valley and creating apps?
P: I’m waiting for the next surprise. I’ve decided once already to quit acting. I shot ‘Little Ashes’ then. I’ve played Salvador Dali and had to shoot many nude scenes, and I also had to masturbate. Few days later I’ve got the offer for Twilight.
Can you take your time to decide over the next role?
P: I need to take time. But I have to be faster. These days the business manager are making decision whether you get the role or not and they don’t take long time for it. Beside that, I want to get older for other movie roles, to be more effective. You can be too young for a movie role.
For example?
P: When I shot Bel Ami, I was way too young for this character. This guy was an ‘Alpha-Alpha-animal’, smart, but blunt and immoral. Everyone who helped him, mostly women, ended badly . He was just too good in it, to be an a..hole.
Would you act now better as an a..hole?
P: I’m pretty sure about that.
