Robert Pattinson keeping things exciting

MSN (German MSN Interview): Since "Twilight", has it been easier or more difficult to meet woman?

Robert Pattinson: Before "Twilight", nobody had ever approached me. So if this is happening now, I suspect that maybe she doesn´t want to be only "nice". That´s strange.

"Robert Pattinson admits to having trouble remembering his lines.
The hunky actor says that he needs someone to “feed” him his lines during the Twilight movies and has a poor memory. “When we do 'Twilight' there is always someone there who takes care of everything and feeds you your lines,” he said.
Pattinson, who plays Edward in the film, tries to practice his lines, but in the end he still needs a little help. “I read a lot on set, but as soon as I shut the book I can barely remember the last line I’ve just read. We’re just shooting "Bel Ami" and Declan Donnellan is directing it. He usually does stage productions and expects me to know all of my lines – like a stage actor. No chance! I realized how rusty and slow my brain has become.”Kristen Stewart - "Eclipse" trailer screencaps.
Meanwhile, Rob and "Twilight" co-star Kristen Stewart have been linked romantically, but Pattinson still won’t completely spill. “I think most people like to have a secret with a girl or boyfriend,” he said.“It keeps things exciting.” Source: www.gossipcenter.com

Kristen Stewart Picks Favorite SXSW Artists

Kristen Stewart: dressed to rock in "The Runaways".


Dakota Fanning, one of the stars of the new film "The Runaways" arrived for their SXSW premiere in a Chevrolet Suburban.


Kristen Stewart: "[Dakota Fanning] and I went to go see Band of Horses and Broken Social Scene. She left right before Broken Social Scene played, and they brought out the chick from Metric and oh my God — it felt very South By Southwest-y. It's really crazy driving around here. The streets are loaded with really cool-looking people — and really loaded people, too! It was weird that they happened to be playing that night, because it was the first night we were here. And everyone was like 'Oh, you need to go see a show,' and Band of Horses happen to my favorite band right now ... I was very excited. I'm planning on seeing Johnny Flynn too, because he is a mutual friend. South by Southwest is so cool, because it's actually so chill and not intimidating. Usually, music festivals aren't this way. As you're approaching the city, you can hear the music. And from my hotel room, you can hear music, and it hasn't stopped."

Gwyneth Paltrow and Philip Baker Hall in "Hard Eight".

"Sydney (Philip Baker Hall) is a man who has been gambling for a long time, and knows a lot about the subject, and shares his knowledge with the kid because--well, maybe just because he has it to share. The kid is named John (John C. Reilly).Movies like "Hard Eight" remind me of what original, compelling characters the movies can sometimes give us. Like David Mamet's "House of Games" or Mike Figgis' "Leaving Las Vegas", or the documentary "Crumb" they pay attention to the people who inhabit city nights according to their own rules, who have learned from experience and don't like to make the same mistake twice. At one point, when Clementine asks him a question, Sydney says, "You shouldn't ask a question like that unless you know the answer."
