October Atrevida Magazine Scans
Keep in mind that this was originally in English, then translated to Portuguese and then translated to English again, so a few of them aren't the exact words Rob said.
About fame and the paparazzi
"Everything is so bizarre. You need to pee and then all out of nowhere 20 people show up screaming 'hey, hey' and all I can think is 'I still haven't even washed my hands'"
"I see people as individuals. In my head, they would never scream, I think they would be embarrassed. The public's mind is bizarre. But I know the fans only want the best for me. Not like the paparazzi.."
"I get annoyed at the paparazi because it's only interesting to them when you're down. They're around you all the time, just waiting for the moment you'll make a mistake. They think that's all we have to offer. But I don't have to give anything to them."
"One day they said to me 'smile, smile'. And when I did, they said 'ah, he's so boring!'. Then all of them fell in the bushes and that made me laugh."
About his music
"I went to a concert in Vancouver of Jackson Rathbone's band and it made me feel upset because I can't do shows. I'm scared that people will record them when I'm not ready yet. I wanted to record an album. I should have done that already, but I don't have time. But I've already written songs for that."
About love
"First, you need to decide if you like the person. Because after that, nothing else matters. Unless she does something terrible, like cheating on you in public. But if you like someone, you should follow your instincts."
October AnOther Man Magazine Scans.
Here is an excerpt from the Robert Pattinson feature written by Dave Calhoun.
Was Pattinson aware of the loyalty of fans of the Twilight books? It looks like the sort of obsessive fandom that can turn into anger and even hatred when an adaptation isn’t to their liking. Did he know what he was letting himself in for? “It’s strange because even though the figures show that the books were successful and sold millions of copies, you couldn’t even buy them in London. I tried a couple of bookshops and they weren’t available. Hardly anyone I knew had read them apart from one girl, a friend of my sister. I had no idea at all. I’d seen Kristen Stewart in Into the Wild and some of the director Catherine Hardwicke’s other films, and that’s all I thought it was, something really small.”
His manner is very laid back. He doesn’t sound thrusting or ambitious, more like he’s just going with the flow and enjoying things. Is he going to harness his newfound fame and box-office appeal to approach the kind of filmmakers he wants to work with in the future? He’s not so sure. “Annoyingly, there are so few parts I feel I can add anything to, or that I want to do.” But he knows what he doesn’t need. “I don’t want to be an actor for the sake of it. I don’t find any particular pleasure in being an attention-seeker.”
Issue 9 of AnOther Man will be on sale in the UK on October 1st
