Robert Pattinson has admitted that he likes to give few interviews because he finds speaking to the media "risky".
The Twilight actor confirmed that he has a private nature because he would prefer to be known for his film roles rather than as a celebrity.
"I think it's such a risky thing doing interviews. I try to limit the amount of interviews I do, because no one is that interesting, especially when you're not really saying anything," Pattinson told MTV.
"I don't particularly want to be some kind of character in society or whatever. So I guess the only thing you can do is do jobs and see if people respond to that."
The star added that he is also concerned about being frequently described as "self-deprecating" in articles.
He said: "I'm always told that I don't really know who I am, so hopefully I won't compartmentalise myself because of that. I am just completely ignorant of [how others perceive me].
"I've never really struggled with anything up until recently. I've got to stop being so self-deprecating, because people are starting to believe it. They're like, 'Yeah, that guy is an idiot'. So I've tried to stop doing that."
