Rob Talks Cosmopolis, Cannes, Nude Scenes, His Dog And More With Interview Germany

Some quotes from this interview were posted in a few articles (like this one), but there are a lot of new questions.

ETA: Better translation thanks to @linhey :)


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.

ROB: I don't think that is the case. Since I shot "Bel Ami" something peculiar happened: my fans gave me my favorite books as presents. Yesterday I was in Paris and at the premiere there was a queue of people who wanted to give me books! It's incredible, isn't it?

INTERVIEW:
Are you happy about the books? And do you really take them all with you?

ROB: Of course, there were really excellent books among them. Including one written by Lawrence Ferlinghetti.

INTERVIEW: Do you hope that your fans will learn something from your film adaptations?

ROB: Even if only one person among hundreds was inspired to read the corresponding book and deals with it in greater depth, it would be wonderful. Cinema can be more than pure entertainment, at least sometimes.

INTERVIEW: Is that why you said you don't want to act in teen movies anymore? I read that.

ROB: Yes, I saw that too. Someone misunderstood me or wanted to misunderstand. Who says that "Cosmopolis" wasn't a teen movie? If there is a sex or violent scene in a movie it is automatically classified as a movie for adults, regardless of what the topic is about. Such categories are completely absurd. No, I would never really say something like that!

INTERVIEW: But "Cosmopolis" isn't really a movie for young teens, is it?

ROB: Well, I wasn't easily shocked even as a teenager. And to be honest: every teenager watches hardcore-porn nowadays and probably has seen more blatant things than the stuff in our movie.

INTERVIEW: Yes, that's true. That means parents have no reasons to be apprehensive of "Cosmopolis". All the "Twilight" fans can be sent to the cinema without hesitation!

ROB: Unless the parents have something against dialogues. If they think "Oh no, I don't want my kids to deal with so many words!" then they probably should be apprehensive of our movie!

INTERVIEW: Speaking of movie ratings: you are naked in every movie of yours.

ROB: Right? That's actually true.

INTERVIEW: How do you feel when you have to take off your clothes on set?

ROB: I'm British. I'm always more insecure than others. Everyone is always relaxed on set, even when they shoot a nude scene. I'm always terribly tensed and anxious.

INTERVIEW: And it doesn't get better?

ROB: When I trust the director and absolutely want the movie to end up great, it has gotten easier now. But if that's not the case I'll feel like a prostitute. (laughs)

INTERVIEW: You had an exciting year, what was your most amazing experience and what was the worst?

ROB: Well.. hm, there were many of both. I'd say the fact that our movie got accepted at Cannes is one of the most amazing ones. I'm very grateful for that. You know, I hoped to have a movie in competition there in maybe ten years but all of the sudden that exactly happens now. Absolutely unbelievable.

INTERVIEW: That means you didn't have a plan for your career that would directly lead you to Cannes?

ROB: You know what, ever since the first "Twilight" movie all the journalists asked me if I was afraid to only be cast for certain roles. And then the first movie I shot when I finished the Twilight Saga gets to be in competition at Cannes. That totally stunned me.

INTERVIEW: And what did you think of yourself in your first non-vampire role?

ROB: I love the movie. I think it's my best work. I've always felt uncomfortable watching myself on the big screen so far but in this case it was the total opposite.

INTERVIEW: What did you like most about your role?

ROB: This may sound a bit strange but I like how the words sound when you speak them out loud. The language, the sentences, how they are arranged - it's all beautiful.

INTERVIEW: Which sentence did you like most?

ROB: I thought "That's my peanuts you smell" was amazing. "I believe my sexual organ is retreating into my body right now" is also very great and absurd.

INTERVIEW: Now we spoke about your best moments, but which were the worst ones then?

ROB: My dog got sick, that was very sad (laughs). But really, it was terrible! He's feeling better now, though.

Rob's Interview With WirtschaftsWoche - Talks Cosmopolis, Twilight, Investing His Money


Translation - Thanks to @McAvoyDi for the translation :)

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 aroudn 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).

New Rob Interview Sat.1 (Berlin Press Junket)

Translation of the full interview under the video - thanks to @Kris1787



Translation

I've just seen your movie.
Rob: Did you like it?
It's really crazy.
Rob: It's pretty weird. It's pretty out there.
It's definitely no teenage movie.
Rob: Yeah no. Unless you are a really clever teenager or really interested in big limousines.

In the movie there are many nude scenes. You have much sex with many different women. How was that?
Rob:
It's strange. Half of the sex scenes were not planned to be sex scenes. They should take place after the sex. The script said: "They just had sex", but David said on the day: "You have sex now". All my preparations, all the work and the huge dialogue scenes that I've thought about, I could throw away.

Has you girlfriend Kristen seen the movie?
Rob:
Yeah, yeah.

How did you prepare her for all these scenes with all these different women?
Rob:
The only problem is, when the movie isn't good. And then there is the question: "Why are you doing this? Why are you playing so many sex scenes in such a bad movie? If it's interesting and believable, then everything is okay."

When did you decide to make your relationship official?
Rob:
To be honest I don't talk about my relationship. Simply because I never do. Since I started doing interviews. No... simply no.

Rob's Interview with Welt Online - Talks Cannes, Cosmopolis and Nude Scenes


Google Translate

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).

New Rob Interview with Online Focus (Germany)


I spend my money on completely silly stuff like dog food. Or on phone bills because I never buy a European mobile phone when I'm here and at once I have to pay $20,000.

Full article/translation

"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 talks about Mission: Blacklist - The Script, Iraq and Meeting Eric Maddox

Mission: Blacklist France met Rob at the 'Cosmopolis' Berlin Premiere and asked him about Mission: Blacklist. Here's the audio.



Transcript

Question: Hi! One of your next projects is Mission:Blacklist. What made you choose this role and are you really going to scout locations in Iraq?
Robert Pattinson: I read the script. I thought the script…I didn’t even realize that the script was a real story and then they told me it was a true story. I met Eric Maddox who it’s based on. He’s one of the most fascinating people I have ever met and the story’s amazing. We’re looking into Iraq, I mean he was there, I mean it’s quite difficult obviously to go there, but I think it would be a good thing to do to go and start… you know.

They also have a few pictures from the Berlin premiere

New Picture From the 'Cosmopolis' Berlin Press Junket + New Interview


Google Translate

Berlin. In 'Twilight' - where he played a vampire teen star, Robert Pattinson (26) now plays in 'Cosmopolis' (starting July 5th in theaters) a sex-obsessed Yuppie.

B: Have you ever been poor?
Rob: Oh, yes. Before I filmed 'Twilight' I've been poor. If you're young it doesn't really matter.

B: And now?
Rob: It's crazy, even though I now have much money, I live the same life as before. Nevertheless, it cost me a lot of coal. It's damn expensive to be normal.

B: Why?
Rob: Before, I set off with 25€ and it was enough for the whole night in the club. Today I give loosely 12,000 in one night! And I can not just go shopping. I have to pay people for the do it for me ...
