A couple of new, cute interview moments

First, the interview where the infamous "Rob walks into Kristen's bedroom naked" quote came from:

Twilight's Bella and Edward speak.

IGN: Your mutual chemistry is crucial to the film - how did you sustain it?

Pattinson: I used to sometimes just run into Kristen's bedroom naked, just to keep shocking her… No, I don't know, it's funny because all the romantic scenes were kind of - are you better at [answering] this than I am?

Stewart: No, I'm so terrible at it…

Pattinson: It worried us because we both were wearing contact lenses and so much of it was to do with eye contact. And these lenses were like masks on our eyes –

Stewart: – like walls!

Pattinson: I was really worried that there wouldn't be anything, so it's a relief that people felt there was. 
 

UK, December 19, 2008 - Vampire flick Twilight stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart as a pair of star-crossed teens, and IGN recently caught up with them to discuss the hit film's romantic chemistry, sexual tension - and dealing with crazy screaming fans.

IGN: Did you have any idea just how devoted the book's fans are?

Kristen Stewart: I knew how important the book was to a small group of people but I had no idea how widespread it was. I felt I was one of them, initially - then I realised I wasn't as crazy as most of them.

IGN: Were you prepared for the hysteria at the premieres?

Robert Pattinson: I don't think anything can prepare you for that. I don't know why I'm not getting used to it because it's happened absolutely everywhere we've been with Twilight, people screaming. 'Screaming' and 'Twilight' seem to belong in the same sentence. I'm completely overwhelmed with it.

IGN: Presumably that means the film has worked?

Pattinson: Yeah, because they'd probably kill us if not. In fact they'd definitely kill us. They almost killed me before the thing came out…

IGN: Rob, even though you were in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, has your life now completely changed?

Pattinson: In my head it hasn't. I don't know, little weird things like people following you to your house, that's strange. If I go on the tube, hardly anyone knows who I am but then you go to a premiere, all the screaming, it almost feels like they're paid to be there! 'All the screamers turn up at this spot…' And seeing a bus go by with your face on - that's scary. It's like being in 1984. It's not good for someone who suffers from extreme paranoia. But luckily the buses don't go past my house too much.

IGN: Your mutual chemistry is crucial to the film - how did you sustain it?

Pattinson: I used to sometimes just run into Kristen's bedroom naked, just to keep shocking her… No, I don't know, it's funny because all the romantic scenes were kind of - are you better at [answering] this than I am?

Stewart: No, I'm so terrible at it…

Pattinson: It worried us because we both were wearing contact lenses and so much of it was to do with eye contact. And these lenses were like masks on our eyes –

Stewart: – like walls!

Pattinson: I was really worried that there wouldn't be anything, so it's a relief that people felt there was.

IGN: Still, because Edward is a vampire and has to control his urges, the romance ends up very chaste…

Stewart: In my view, even though the actual act isn't shoved in your face, I think it's just as abundant. Watching sexualised films is the same as films about wanting to have sex, there's no difference.

Pattinson: If you've ever tried watching a feature length porno, you know, it's dull…!

IGN: Rob, how did they end up using a couple of your own songs on the soundtrack?

Pattinson: One of them is written by two friends of mine so that was one of the reasons. I'd grown up with loads of musicians so I thought that would be good for them. I mean, I don't have any plans to release an album - there's such a stigma attached to actors who release music. Maybe I'd do it anonymously - or wait until I'm unemployable.

IGN: What can you tell us about Twilight sequels? There are three more books to go…

Stewart: I believe we start shooting New Moon the beginning of next year. Usually I only get to play someone for, like, six weeks. I do little movies and when I'm done there's always this grieving process. So to get to follow [Bella] for an incredibly long time - or at least for the second one - I'm rather excited.

Pattinson: It's terrifying because we really didn't have anything to lose, because it was the first one and the timing was perfect. Now it's harder to live up to the amount of hype, especially in America. Next year everyone will be judging us.

Stewart: The press might be a little tougher but hopefully the process will be the same.

Pattinson: I think it will be impossible, sorry…

IGN: So do you worry about typecasting?

Stewart: I guess the only thing to do is do very different things in-between. If it was just Twilight for the rest of my life as an actor I would be quite miserable. But it's not - I actually just got cast as Joan Jett in a movie called The Runaways. That's also quite daunting.

Pattinson: It makes it a little daunting to decide what your next job is. But if you choose things carefully I don't think you can get typecast - just do good movies.

And Kristen, talking about Rob:

Twilight star 'not good at fame'

So it's weird to see people mainly my age flipping out over Rob [Pattinson] walking into the room. He shifts in his seat and they all just go crazy. It's a little daunting.

How do you deal with that? Do you take the mickey out of Robert all the time for the reaction he gets?

Oh my god. All the time. Constantly. It's like, 'Rob. Touch your hair again'.

The two of you have an amazing chemistry in the film. Did you have to try out with a lot of actors before that?

I had four guys that I auditioned with. They cut it down to who they really liked. There was no question by the end of them. He [Robert Pattinson] was the last one to come in. He understood the character. He didn't come in and try to be this perfect looking being. He actually looked like he was thinking about something and he actually looked at me, instead of just hoping that he looked good at that moment and was fixated on his pose. He was quite perfect for it.  

Low budget teen vampire movie, Twilight, is released in cinemas in the UK on Friday. Kristen Stewart, who plays one of the main characters Bella Swan, says she finds instant fame hard to deal with, it was fun working with British actor Robert Pattinson and that she has similar traits to her character.

Did you have any idea when you signed up for this movie how big it was going to become?

No. I mean, we knew that it had a really devoted fan base but we thought it was pretty small and thought it was exclusive. Like a culty thing. It's a small studio and small budget. We all thought it was rather quaint. It's a character-driven piece. We didn't have a whole bunch of money for all the stunts and effects. We had no idea.

There's been all this madness following you in America on the promotional tour for Twilight. Did you find that easy or hard to deal with?

I'm really not good at it. Some people are great at it. It's like the other side of the job. I can't believe I have to do it. It makes it easier because I'm really proud of the movie and I'm a fan of the book as well.

He actually looked like he was thinking about something and he actually looked at me, instead of just hoping that he looked good at that moment and was fixated on his pose. He was quite perfect for it.

Your first scene together is almost quite comical. Robert Pattinson almost looks pained trying to control his feelings for you. Did that make you laugh?

It's so funny. We thought we were being so intense and serious. We watched the film and everyone was laughing. It was like, 'Oh my god. This is actually quite funny'. We didn't picture it like that at all.

The film does actually have quite a few laughs in it, mainly from the individual characters at your high school. Was that intentional?

They were allowed to go for it. It was so cool. They could have been very undefined kids that go to school. They're all individuals. Angela's a photographer. I don't think that's in the book.

Your character, Bella Swan, is very intense when she first arrives and very moody. How did you get into character?

Yeah. She's sort of happy being solitary. She doesn't intentionally try to push people away. I think sometimes when you're quiet and shy, you just come across pensive. I can fully relate to that. People are always asking me what's wrong and I'm like, 'Wow. Nothing. Absolutely nothing is wrong'. It's weird.

I think there's something innate. People are attracted to her. It's weird. We always joked about it. If she were to become a vampire, she would be the ultimate queen vampire because she's strong. Nobody can get into her mind. Edward [Cullen] can't read her mind. She has all of these traits that are superior. But yet she's completely unaware of them.

There are lots of fun parts in this film too, especially the stunts when you go into the tree tops. Was that fun to do or was that done in a studio?

We were in the trees the whole time. We had one day that they added on at the end of green screen, and I don't even think they use it. Me and Rob probably look ridiculous and confused, like, 'What are we doing in front of this big, green blob?'. So we were actually in the trees. It was cool. It was freezing cold. If I was afraid of heights then it would probably would have been a problem.
