Robert Pattinson turned millions of females around the world into frenzied fans when they saw him
heat up the screen in Twilight as the heartthrob vampire Edward Cullen. And the
love continues as Pattinson returns in New Moon.
Parade.com's Jeanne Wolf got up close and personal with the devilish and charming 23-year-old
superstar. Pattinson shared his thoughts on being romantically challenged and getting a handle on
becoming an overnight celebrity.
The love bug bites the deepest.
"What's interesting about this story is that it's supposed to be about this all-powerful
immortal creature. But he's completely destroyed just by falling in love with this normal girl. He
can't control anything afterwards. His entire life turns upside down. So I guess love can be more
lethal than a vampire bite."
A new perspective on relationships.
"Getting involved in Twilight has definitely changed my mind about how people
are kind of fanatical about wanting to have the perfect relationship. I had no idea that people
were so desperate and felt like it was so unobtainable. They want to put this idea of unconditional
devotion just so high above everything else, which is why they can't get enough of this story."
Advice to the lovelorn Bella.
"I keep wanting to tell people who think she should choose between Edward or Jacob that she
should choose someone else. Jacob seems like the perfect viable option at the beginning of New Moon, but he turns out to be just as tortured as
Edward is. So I guess Bella is just an unlucky girl."
Breaking up was hard to do.
"There was something weird about doing that scene where Edward tells Bella he's never going to see her again. Millions of fans see it as the ideal for a relationship. So breaking up the ideal relationship is pretty daunting. As for a breakup like that in my own life, I can't think of one."

And don't ask him about being romantic.
"I don't know, I can't think of a single romantic thing I've ever done. That's terrible. Wait. I put a flower in someone's locker when I was 15-years-old. It was a girl named Maria. She thought it was somebody else that had done it and the other guy was trying to take credit."
The scene where he almost took it all off.
"I felt pretty goofy stepping out into the sunlight in front of 2,000 people in a town square, ripping my clothes off. I was essentially doing a striptease. But here's the irony, it was also one of the moments where I've really felt closest to people's emotional attachment to Edward. There were so many extras in that scene who were Twilight fans who had flown in just to be a part of it. It was a moment where I've felt the whole weight of anticipation, and I guess responsibility as well, of being Edward, for all the people who were kind of so obsessed with the stories. It was quite uplifting and it was also very nerve-wracking."
