Robert Pattinson

I’m really afraid of getting hit by cars, like terrified of it. I’m terrified of crossing streets. I’m also very accident-prone…I think people aim for me.

[On his first red carpet experience] I walked out the wrong car door and started walking into the crowd, An interviewer said, ‘Give your best horror scream,’ and Stan did this great scream and I was too much of a wimp to do one. It was pathetic!

I keep forgetting I’m speaking in an American accent sometimes. The dangerous thing is that you end up forgetting what your real accent is after a while! It’s really strange; I’ve never done a job in an American accent before.

I’ve changed so much. I’m not nearly as cocky as I was, I was a real prat for the first month. I didn’t talk to anyone. I just drank coffee and told everyone I was 24 and this famous theatre actor just back from South Africa.

I’ve really gotten into hip-hop again recently. I’m reliving my childhood. I’ve been listening to a lot of Wu-Tang Clan. I always wanted to be a rapper when I was younger. That’s always what I wanted to be before I started acting.

If I could trade places with anyone in the world it would be with someone who has lots of power like George Bush.

The mind is an erogenous zone.

How do you expect me to see your nasty-looking eye ball if you don’t look straight ahead?

What was the competition? Well, I remember this Puerto Rican who came out in a short skirt and a gun.

It’s difficult when you’re successful, to admit that you need help.

Paramount sent them nine-foot-high (theater lobby) cutouts of me. They say, “You don’t have to come home, we’ve got you in every room of the house!”

Bitches don’t know if they wanna hate you or be you. Lemme change that. Bitches hate you cuz know they’ll never be you.

I forgot better shit than you ever thought of.

I’ve deliberately tried to calm myself down because eventually I want to be a good role model to my kids.

I am a big Jeff Richmond fan.

I still want Oprah to play my best friend. I want to spend time with Oprah.

Maybe it’s because I’m English, but in terms of how people perceive us I only pick up on the negative side of it.

Sometimes we have criticism that is very constructive.

Definitely tougher to be vulnerable. As a woman in the industry, you try so hard to remain strong and to not let your guard down. And once you let the walls down and let people see that you were a regular person who has feelings, sometimes people take advantage of that. I think that applies for everyone. It’s always a little bit nerve-racking to just completely let your guard down because you just don’t know if people are going to appreciate it. And then if they don’t appreciate it, you can feel like you did it in vain.

Know what? Bitches get shit done.
