RPATZ: "VAMPIRE LIFE IS NOT FOR ME!"

“Twilight star Robert Pattinson vaulted to fame as immortal vampire Edward Cullen, but he admits the vampire lifestyle is not for him. For one, he doesn’t think he would want to live forever.

Pattinson has been immersed all things vampire during shooting for sequel “New Moon” and now the follow up, “Eclipse.”
But he’s taken a break and is on a press tour of Australia and New Zealand ahead of New Moon’s debut next month.
Despite his fondness for the “Twilight saga and his character, Pattinson insists he'll be happy to finally be finished with the film series, after the concluding “Breaking Dawn.” And, he’d never want to be a vampire himself.

"When you think about it, being a vampire means you have to kill people and feed on their blood, but all you get in return is you can run really fast, or throw things around. That's kind of a lame trade-off," he surmises.

"It's the same with living forever. I wouldn't want to, under any circumstance. I don't think anyone would want to, would they? It's like my great aunt.
"She's 97 and a very, very funny woman but every time I talk to her she says things like; 'When you next come to see me, can you please bring me some poison?' I'm like; 'Yeah, OK' because I know what she means. Live forever? I couldn't think of anything worse..."

He told the New Zealand Herald that playing Cedric Diggory in “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire” and now the Twilight series have turned his life upside down.

"One of the weirdest days was when we started shooting New Moon at this high school, in Canada. The school was still open, so there were kids everywhere," he said.
"We did this scene, where we were just walking around the corridors but, after every take, all the kids started applauding. It was the same whenever a class came out after a lesson: they'd all clap. That was really bizarre - one of the strangest days ever."
