Rob的LA Time專訪 @ Sabrina之宅言宅語 ~ "17 A While" Group

看到這篇文章，

看到Rob談論媒體對他的傷害，心裡真的很痛，

但也很慶幸他的頭腦如此冷靜，如此明事理...

衷心希望他能好好的運用這些特質，去做對自己人生最好的事。

「媒體文化是一個像怪物一般的東西，」Pattinson在星期三下午嘆息的說著，一邊在他抽著電子煙的時候，一邊往嘴巴裡塞著薯條（我應該高興他有食慾嗎！？）。「你沒有辦法贏。最令人厭煩的是你沒有辦法攻擊他們，但是你沒有辦法防衛你自己。你所能做的大概就是揍狗仔一拳，然後讓他們屆此大賺一筆。」

（...)

"The tabloid industry does terrible, terrible things for the world. It makes people stupid," he said, his cheeks flushing. "People say [tabloids] are about escapism, and people have got to get away from the misery of the world. It's like, 'No, people are lazy, and they don't want to try.' … Every time I've looked at a magazine like that, I've regretted it. I gain absolutely nothing from it. And neither does anyone else."

「八卦媒體對這個世界做了很糟糕，很糟糕的事。它讓人都變笨了（沒錯！！），」他說，他的臉頰通紅。「大家都說八卦只是一種逃避現實的方法，因為大家需要從痛苦的現實生活裡逃脫。像是在對人說『不，人都是懶惰的，他們不願意努力...』每一次我看到像這樣雜誌，我就會後悔。我完全沒有從中的到任何東西。而其他人也是。」

整篇訪談的內容非常有深度...

Rob談論了自己的花錢習慣沒有改變...也否認拍兩集Breaking Dawn所收的片酬是像富比士所報導的那樣高達1千2百5美金（但是我想就算沒有，應該也相去不遠啦:p）

他又從二手車網站買了一輛2000元的中古車（去衝浪的時候用的），然後在遇見有人為了1%的事情在示威抗議時（好像是抗議全美國只有1%的富人）本想躲起來，

但是人家跟他說：「你開這種爛車，不必擔心，我們不是針對你！」（哇哈哈哈哈哈哈哈～這傢伙怎麼每次買車都有故事啊！？）

David大導也為Twilight系列做了辯護：

"The strength of the 'Twilight' movies is not the acting," acknowledged Cronenberg. "But it's not understood that doing 'Twilight' requires presence and professionalism. Are you saying this is an Academy Award performance, or Alec Guinness? That's a whole other discussion. But you throw somebody on a grueling set like that — a normal person would be dead in an hour."

（「Twilight系列電影的強項並不是在於演技，」Cronenberg分析。「但這並不代表演出Twilight就不需要表演和專業技巧。你是在討論這是否是奧斯卡級的表演，還是像Alec Guinness（原星際大戰系列的歐比王）那樣？這是有待討論的。但是你把一個人丟進像這樣嚴苛的片場－－普通人一個小時就掛了。」

Warming to his own defense, Pattinson interjected: "With this movie people keep saying, 'Is this gonna be the movie where he can prove he can act?' It's like, 'What do you think I have been doing?'"

（為自己辯護，Pattinson也說：「這部電影出來大家都說：『這是否會成為他證明自己會演戲的電影？』真想說：『你以為我之前都在幹嘛？』」

"By the way," Cronenberg added, "he's a British guy doing an American accent. People don't realize that there are a lot of very good actors who cannot do accents, and they don't give Rob credit for that."

(「提起這一點，」Cronenberg補充，「他是個英國人說美國腔。很多人沒有意識到有很多很好的演員在模仿口音這一點是辦不到的，而他們都沒有給Rob該有的贊許。」)

David大導～我有說過我多愛你了嗎？？？

我發誓我會認真去看你的電影！！！

（雖然我意外發現我有收藏幾部電影是他導的耶:p）

全文在下面～很值得一看！

NEW YORK — Jon Stewart tried to bait him with Ben & Jerry's Karamel Sutra. "Good Morning America" host George Stephanopoulos offered him Cinnamon Toast Crunch. But maybe French fries would have been a better ploy to get Robert Pattinson to spill some juicy personal details about his breakup with costar Kristen Stewart.

"Media culture is a monstrous thing," Pattinson lamented Wednesday afternoon, jamming fries into his mouth between puffs on his electronic cigarette. "You can't win. The annoying thing is that you can't attack them, but you can't defend yourself. The best thing you could possibly do is punch a paparazzi and give them their big payday."

The 26-year-old actor has run a gantlet of publicity this week that was nominally about promoting his new film, "Cosmopolis," which opens Friday. But the promotional blitz, which also included a New York premiere and other stops, seemed to be as much about proving his emotional resilience in the wake of the tabloid bonanza that exploded after photos surfaced of Stewart in compromising positions with 41-year-old Rupert Sanders, who directed her in "Snow White and the Huntsman."

Sitting alongside Pattinson for moral support at the Mandarin Oriental hotel on Columbus Circle was "Cosmopolis" director David Cronenberg. The Canadian filmmaker, whose challenging art house films almost never garner such wide attention, was there as a sort of buffer but also appeared to be quietly amused by the media circus. The actor's manager would not allow Pattinson to sit alone for an interview with The Times, and even suggested that reporters not ask him about his personal life, or "Twilight."

But "Twilight," of course, is how Pattinson has become perhaps the most widely recognized young actor of his generation. In the movie franchise, based on Stephenie Meyer's bestselling young adult novels, he plays a brooding vampire who falls in love with a human girl (Stewart). The film series has grossed over $2.5 billion worldwide since launching in 2008 and will conclude in November with a fifth installment, "Breaking Dawn — Part 2." Pattinson's off-screen romance with Stewart only stoked the popularity of the vampire movies.

When the Stewart-Sanders affair burst onto the cover of Us Weekly in July, it initially seemed like there was little upside for Pattinson. But Stewart's public apology generated not only sympathy for the man wronged but also a fresh wave of interest for "Cosmopolis," which had premiered to mixed response at the Cannes Film Festival in May.

That could help Pattinson as he strives to craft a post-"Twilight" career. While both of his "Twilight" costars, Stewart and Taylor Lautner, have each taken center stage in studio pictures, Pattinson has mostly stayed in the indie world. His biggest non-"Twilight" film to date was last year's "Water for Elephants," a modestly budgeted period romance with Reese Witherspoon that took in a respectable $117 million worldwide. Pattinson's less-commercial projects, however, have tanked at the box office — the Sept. 11 drama "Remember Me" only collected $8 million domestically in 2010, and the 19th century-set drama "Bel Ami" flopped in June, never expanding beyond 15 theaters.

In "Cosmopolis," Pattinson plays a young billionaire on the verge of financial ruin who self-destructs over the course of one day, and he has earned some of the best reviews of his career for his performance as the detached whiz-kid.

Cronenberg, who adapted "Cosmopolis" from Don DeLillo's book of the same name, said he felt Pattinson was right for the part largely because of his good-looking face, which appears in nearly every frame of the movie. Before casting him, the director watched all of the films the London native has appeared in, and viewed a number of interviews with Pattinson on YouTube to get a better sense of his personality.

"The strength of the 'Twilight' movies is not the acting," acknowledged Cronenberg. "But it's not understood that doing 'Twilight' requires presence and professionalism. Are you saying this is an Academy Award performance, or Alec Guinness? That's a whole other discussion. But you throw somebody on a grueling set like that — a normal person would be dead in an hour."

Warming to his own defense, Pattinson interjected: "With this movie people keep saying, 'Is this gonna be the movie where he can prove he can act?' It's like, 'What do you think I have been doing?'"

"By the way," Cronenberg added, "he's a British guy doing an American accent. People don't realize that there are a lot of very good actors who cannot do accents, and they don't give Rob credit for that."

"Oh, give me anything!" Pattinson said with a laugh and taking a drag on his cigarette, which glowed an electronic red with each inhale.

Still, it's clear Pattinson sometimes questions his acting ability. Before production began on "Cosmopolis," he said he was so unsure of his ability to pull off the role that he sat "trembling, absolutely terrified" during the first screen test.

The nerves are somewhat surprising, considering Pattinson's part in "Cosmopolis" doesn't seem all that distant from his own life. Like his character in the film — who remains isolated in a limousine for hours as he slowly traverses Manhattan to get a haircut — Pattinson said that since "Twilight" opened, he has "had four years of gradually being put more and more into smaller and smaller boxes, and you have a desire to break out." He's also a part of the 1% — according to Forbes, he earned $12.5 million for the last two "Twilight" pictures — a number he says is "completely not true."

"Weirdly, I went to the bar the other day and there were a bunch of people protesting some 1% thing," he recalled. "I drive this kind of [junky]-looking truck sometimes because I started surfing — it's this 2001 Silverado I bought off of Craigslist for, like, $2,000 or something. So I was hiding in the back of the truck when I saw the protest thinking, 'I don't want to get involved in this.'"

The demonstrators, Pattinson said, didn't recognize him and a friend. "When the protesters saw us, they were like, 'We're not even shouting at you. You're driving this piece of .... You're not part of the 1%.'"

Pattinson insists he's terrible with his finances: "The only thing I'm good at with money is blowing it. I don't even understand [what I spend it on]. I have the exact same lifestyle as when I was 15."

"Look at the way he dresses," chimed in Cronenberg, alluding to Pattinson's informal, almost frat-boy get-up of a polo shirt, jeans and backward cap.

The actor said he feels a pressure to appear "unbearably conservative" because he senses his every move is being scrutinized. He says he'd like for bankers to be hunted by paparazzi and TMZ instead, but knows that's unrealistic.

"The tabloid industry does terrible, terrible things for the world. It makes people stupid," he said, his cheeks flushing. "People say [tabloids] are about escapism, and people have got to get away from the misery of the world. It's like, 'No, people are lazy, and they don't want to try.' … Every time I've looked at a magazine like that, I've regretted it. I gain absolutely nothing from it. And neither does anyone else."
