Rob on the journey of Edward and personally over the past four years:
In the broadest terms he’s ignored the vampire and age and saw him as a troubled teen who discovers how to be content with himself, which is what a lot of normal human guys go through. The key ingredient to his character is the 108 years of self loathing. It’s hard to play that and a love story at the same time. Ironically BD is Edward’s happiest movie.
Personal journey: it’s been like a very complicated maze while on a jet. It still hasn’t slowed down. He’s still tying to totally discover who he is. He has a stronger drive to act than ever.

As far as turning Kristen, the birth scene was the first time he read the film scene before reading the scene in the book, He was terrified, but it ended up being most incredible scene. There was lots of desperation to play. There was a surreality of being between a dummy’s legs chewing with cream cheese placenta coming at him as he is covered in strawberry jam and then hit with dummy baby with wig. It could have been very silly or very NC 17, but Bill Condon made it worked.
It doesn’t feel like it’s over yet to him.
Indie vs big film: He sees himself in the future doing what comes his way. Smaller productions are great but likes bigger ones too.
Getting back into music: He records stuff in private. Movies you can blame someone else if it’s bad. Music it is just you. Too scary of a proposition at this time.
How he feels about Grauman’s and being in LA from early days to now: He’s stunned. Back then, he was so unemployable. He feels he’s so happy to be on a wave. One of the hand prints he messed up. He accidentally stood on it (his own).
Kristen got annoyed with him when he said the groom is a prop. He says, “I’m right. Everyone the whole congreagation is looking at the bride and I’m in the same suit as any other guy.” He says he’d let a future wife plan a wedding
