Robert Pattinson

While working on this film, at what point did you look in the mirror and go, “Oh my god, I don’t recognize myself anymore?”

Not really. I always recognize myself, but I was really surprised by the end when we just got through the entire movie and there had never been anything, there was never a cellphone picture, nothing, which is incredibly satisfying and relieving.

How do you feel about the Oscar buzz?

I don’t think about that all. It sounds terrible considering I’m doing press now, but I was done with my desires at Cannes. This is all just gravy.

Can you speak about collaborating with the Safdie Brothers and what you admire about them?

Their discipline and the level of energy they bring to jobs.

Safdie Brothers

Taliah was saying that Rob was always in character. Was he method?

Josh: I don’t know if he was method, but he had a hard time leaving the character. He would sleep in the costumes sometimes.

He was brooding?

Benny: Yeah, he was always brooding, kind of like running all of the stuff through his head, you know, at any moment.

Josh: He was super self-serious.

How was collaborating with Rob? You guys have a significant amount of scenes.

It was fun being with Rob. That’s my admiration. I adore this man. I’ve watched every single Twilight, so it was like actually doing it is just fun.

When you told your friends and family, were they like, “Oh my gosh, that’s crazy”?

Most of them was like, “Oh my gosh, wait, you’re lying. You’re just going to have to tell me when the movie comes out, so I can go see it myself.” I’m like, “Fine, we can do that.”

Speak about working with Rob.

He’s cool. He’s hard-working and he’s just really focused on what he does.

Thanks Sue.
