Rob Quotes

• “In the book (Twilight) it seems that when he says, ‘I’m a monster and I’m going to kill you –’ and she says, ‘I’m not afraid –’ you kind of know the whole time in the book that he’s never going to do anything bad.
  “But then you read that first chapter in ‘Midnight Sun’ where the full extent of how much he wanted to kill her and how he’s considering killing the entire school just so that he can kill her becomes evident. I wanted that element of him to be very prominent.

  “I wanted Bella to be saying, ‘I’m not scared. You won’t do anything to me –’ but not so certainly. So that it’d suddenly be like, ‘You won’t do anything to me, will you?’ I kind of wanted something like that.
  “I think it makes it sexier if there’s a very real chance of him just flipping out and killing her.” Source

• “I didn’t want to do a stupid teen movie. I specifically hadn’t done anything which anyone would see since ‘Harry Potter’ because I wanted to teach myself how to act.

  “I didn’t want to be an idiot. This came kind of randomly and I didn’t really know what it was when it first started. I was going to wait for another year.

  “I wanted to do two or three more little things and then do something bigger and then this kind of happened and I was like, ‘Well, okay.’”
  “I thought Catherine (Hardwicke) and Kristen (Stewart) would be supportive of that. But they’ve also got reputations whereas I don’t have a reputation at all.

  “So I wanted to make sure that by the time people got to Portland that I knew everything about everything and just be like really – I didn’t talk to anyone about anything other than the part for about a month and a half of the shoot.” >Source
