PLEASE WELCOME, ROBERT PATTINSON!

♪ ♪ ♪ ( APPLAUSE )

>> Stephen: HEY.

I'M FINE.

HOW IS IT GOING FOR YOU?

>> IT'S GOING OKAY.

>> Stephen: YEAH.

>> I HAD A PREMIERE LAST NIGHT SO I'M AT ABOUT 10%

FUNCTIONALITY.

>> Stephen: THE PREMIERE WAS HERE IN NEW YORK.

WAS THERE A PARTY YOU WENT TO?

>> YEAH.

>> Stephen: YOU CAME STRAIGHT HERE FROM THE PARTY FROM LAST

NIGHT?

>> WELL, I-- AFTER A BUNCH OF DISASTROUS PRESS ALL DAY AS

WELL.

>> Stephen: DISASTROUS PRESS?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN DISASTROUS PLEAS?

>> I'VE BEEN BANGING OUT BAD ONES, BAD INTERVIEW AFTER BAD

INTERVIEW.

>> Stephen: THAT ENDS RIGHT HERE.

THIS IS GOING TO BE A GREAT INTERVIEW, GREAT INTERVIEW.

WOW, WHO ELSE HAVE YOU BEEN WITH TODAY?

I'M NOTUE KNOW, I'M NOT PROUD.

WHO ELSE HAVE YOU BEEN-- PRESS, TV?

ANY OTHER TV?

>> NOT ANY OTHER TV.

>> Stephen: THEN I DON'T CARE.

YOU BUT YOU MUST BE EXHAUSTED, RIGHT?

>> I'M GOOD.

IT'S FREEZING COLD IN HERE.

>> Stephen: THAT'S WHY WE KEEP IT SO COLD BECAUSE WE THINK OF

OUR GUESTS AS JUST MEAT.

WE HAVE TO KEEP YOU FRESH.

YOU STARTED OFF IN LONDON, I UNDERSTAND, YOUR FIRST PLAY WAS

IT "OUR TOWN?" >> YEAH.

>> Stephen: YOU WERE GEORGE IN "OUR TOWN."

>> YEAH.

>> Stephen: WHAT A SWEET, SMALL, NONSHRIEKING CROWD TO

PLAY.

WHAT COULD BE LESS FAMOUS THAN PLAYING GEORGE?

>> I'M DESPERATELY TRYING TO EVEN REMEMBER WHAT "OUR TOWN" IS

ABOUT.

I WAS TALKING ABOUT IT.

IT'S ABOUT A TOWN -- >> Stephen: IT'S VAMPIRES AND

WOLVES WHO, IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST, KILL A GIRL NAMED

EMILY.

IT'S-- IT'S ABOUT GROVER'S CORNER, NEW HAMPSHIRE AND IT'S

THE GREAT REDESTRUCTION OF THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE ABOUT HOW EVERY

SIMPLE INDIVIDUAL LIFE OF THE ORDINARY LIFE IS EXTRAORDINARY

BECAUSE THE BEAUTY AND THE NEEDS OF HUMAN RELATIONSHIP.

>> WOW.

I LITERALLY THE ONLY THING I THOUGHT IT WAS ABOUT WAS THE

FACT THAT I GOT TO KISS HELEN ZIEGLER, WHO WAS PLAYING EMILY.

AND THAT'S LITERALLY-- WAS HER NAME-- THAT'S THE REASON --

>> Stephen: THAT'S HOW THEY GOT YOU INTO A PLAY BECAUSE YOU

COULD KISS A GIRL.

>> THAT'S REASON I'M AN ACTOR.

>> Stephen: KISSING THE GIRLS?

HOW IS THAT WORKING OUT.

YOU HAVE ENOUGH AT THIS POINT?

NOW, BESIDES DOING CEDRIC DIGGERY IN THE HEARTY POTTER

FILMS.

( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) BY THE WAY, HAVE YOU MET-- HAVE

YOU MET OUR GUITARIST MATTY RICE OVER THERE?

HAVE YOU MET-- >> A HARRY POTTER FAN.

>> Stephen: A BIG HARRY POTTER FAN.

NOT FAMILIAR WITH YOUR WORK BUT A VERY BIG HARRY POTTER FAN.

AND, OBVIOUSLY, THE "TWILIGHT" MOVIES.

YOU HAVE SUBSEQUENTLY DONE FASCINATING INDEPENDENT MOVIES,

"COSMOPOLIST" AND "MAPS OF THE STAR."

YOU WORKED WITH VERNER HERZING ON, ONE OF THE MOST INDY OF ALL

INDY DIRECTORS.

SO WHY NOT ANOTHER BLOCKBUSTER?

WHY DO YOU LIKE THE SMALL STUFF?

>> I HAD THE LUXURY OF KIND OF NOT HAVING TO KEEP WORKING

CONSTANTLY, SO I'VE KIND OF BEEN ABLE TO CHOOSE WHAT I WANTED TO

DO, AND IT'S BEEN WHAT I WANTED TO DO.

I MEAN THE SCRIPTS-- I MEAN, I SEE EVERYTHING AS A BLOCKBUSTER.

YOU HOPE IT WILL BE A BLOCKBUSTER AFTERWARDS.

YOU HOPE AT LEAST SOMEONE WILL SEE IT.

BUT, YEAH, YOU JUST NEVER KNOW.

>> Stephen: WELL, THE NEW FILM, YOU'RE WONDERFUL IN THE

FILM.

IT'S GOTTEN GREAT REVIEWS.

IT GOT A SIX-MINUTE STANDING OVATION AT CANNES THIS YEAR.

YOU PLAY CONNIE WHO IS FROM QUEENS, A SMALL-TIME CROOK FROM

QUEENS.

>> YEAH.

>> Stephen: WAS IT HARD FOR YOU TO GET A QUEENS ACCENT DOWN?

>> UM, I MEAN, NOT REALLY.

I MEAN, IT'S KIND OF-- IT'S, YOU KNOW, I THINK WHEN YOU DO, LIKE,

A NEW YORK MOVIE, THERE'S SOMETHING SO CINEMATIC ABOUT

GENERAL NEW YORK ACCENT.

BUT IF YOU REALLY-- LIKE, A QUEENS ACCENT IS KIND OF-- IT'S

QUITE SPECIFIC.

AND I ALWAYS FIND IT KIND OF INTERESTING TO-- TO GET SOME

KIND OF REGIONAL DIALECT.

IT MAKES THE PART SEEM MORE SPECIFIC.

>> Stephen: WAS THERE A HOOK OR SOMETHING THAT GETS YOU INTO

A NEW YORK ACCENT?

IS THERE SOMETHING YOU HAVE TO SAY FIRST SORT OF TO FIND IT?

>> UM, I MEAN, THERE WAS-- WELL, I'M BASICALLY DOING, TO MY EAR,

I'M DOING THE DIRECTOR'S ACCENT.

SO I'M KIND OF DOING THAT ALL THE TIME.

>> Stephen: DOES HE KNOW THAT?

>> HE ALWAYS SAYS, "YOU'RE NOT PLAYING ME.

STOP TELLING PEOPLE YOU'RE PLAYING ME, BECAUSE YOU'RE

PLAYING A PSYCHOPATH."

( LAUGHTER ) IF YOU HADN'T NOTICED.

>> Stephen: I'M SORRY, YOU WERE GOING TO SAY THERE IS A

HOOK YOU USE.

>> OH, THERE WAS A THING-- IT'S THIS DOCUMENTARY-- DO YOU KNOW

JOHN ALPERT?

HE DID THIS AMAZING DOCUMENTARY CALLED "THE YEAR IN THE LIFE OF

CRIME" AND IT'S ABOUT SOME PETTY CRIMINALS, TWO YEARS OVER THE

LIFE.

AND YOU SEE THESE GUYS AND THERE'S AN INNATE CHARISMA, AND

GUYS WHO ARE BASICALLY LIVING FROM SHOPLIFTING, AND THEY'RE

JUST SO CINEMATIC.

AND THERE'S SOMETHING-- THERE'S SOMETHING-- THEY'RE SO

CHARISMATIC.

AND THAT WAS REALLY WHAT GOT ME AND THE WAY THEY SPEAK AND THE

WAY THEY MOVE.

THAT WAS KIND OF IT.

>> Stephen: NOW, I HAVE A CLIP HERE.

YOU HAVE A BROTHER, YOUR BROTHER IN THIS IS-- HAS MENTAL

IMPAIRMENT.

HE'S-- HE'S DEVELOPMENTALLY DISABLED.

AND YOU GUYS -- WHAT HAS JUST HAPPENED HERE?

YOU GUYS HAVE JUST TRIED TO-- >> I AM GIVING HIM A LIFE

EXPERIENCES, AS A GOOD BIG BROTHER DOES, WHICH MEANS TAKING

HIM OUT OF HIS PSYCHIATRIST'S OFFICE AND TAKING HIM

IMMEDIATELY TO ROB A BANK.

>> Stephen: IT DOESN'T-- IT DOESN'T GO WELL.

>> NO, IT DOESN'T GO WELL.

>> Stephen: OKAY, JIM.

>> WHAT THE (BLEEP) ARE YOU DOING?

>> COME OUT!

FIVE SECONDS, I CALL THE POLICE!

>> MY BROTHER IS MENTALLY HANDICAPPED.

I'M GOING TO COME OUT IN ONE SECOND.

IT'S AN EMERGENCY, ALL RIGHT.

PLEASE, JUST GIVE ME FIVE MINUTES.

YOU'VE GOT TO GET THEM OFF RIGHT NOW.

SWEAT PANTS UNDERNEATH.

THAT'S WHY YOU WORE THEM.

HURRY UP ( KNOCKING ON THE DOOR ).

>> YES!

PLEASE!

>> Stephen: IT'S THAT INTENSITY.

THAT INTENSITY.

( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ).

>> IT'S THAT LEVEL OF INTENSITY THE ENTIRE MOVIE.

IT'S A KIND OF-- I THINK ME AND THE DIRECTORS HAVE COINED A NEW

GENRE, WHICH IS JUST CALLED "PANIC."

AND IT'S JUST PANIC.

IT'S A PANIC-- IF YOU WANT TO EXPERIENCE WHAT A 90-MINUTE

PANIC ATTACK IS AT THE CINEMA, THIS IS WHAT IT FEELS LIKE.

>> Stephen: WONDERFUL.

BEFORE WE GO, CONGRATULATIONS, VERY NICE.

THIS IS THE SEPTEMBER ISSUE OF "GQ" THERE YOU ARE.

AND I JUST HAVE TO ASK YOU, HAVING YOU HERE, HAVING YOU

HERE, AND HAVING THIS COVER RIGHT HERE, I JUST HAVE TO ASK,

DO YOU OWN A COMB?

( LAUGHTER ) >> I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.

I WAS JUST-- I WAS BACKSTAGE.

I JUST-- THERE'S NOTHING TO BE DONE.

>> Stephen: I WISH-- I WISH MINE COULD DO IT.

ANYWAY, ROBERT, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE.

"GOOD TIME" IS IN THEATERS THIS FRIDAY.

ROBERT PATTINSON, EVERYBODY!
