In an interview with Parade.com, Robert Pattinson opens up about being romantic and what it’s like to become a super star over night.

The love bug bites the deepest.

“What’s interesting about this story  is that it’s suppose to be about this all-powerful immortal creature.  But he’s completely destroyed just by falling in love with this normal girl.  He can’t control anything afterwards.  His entire life turns upside down.  So I guess love can be more lethal than a vampire bite.”

On Relationships:

“Getting involved in Twilight has definitely changed my mind about how people are kind of fanatical about wanting to have the perfect relationship.  I had no idea that people were so desperate and felt like it was so unobtainable.  They want to put this idea of unconditional devotion just so high above everything else, which is why they can’t get enough of this story.”

Advice for Bella:

“I keep wanting to tell people who think she should choose between Edward or Jacob that she should choose someone else.  Jacob seems like the perfect viable option at the beginning of New Moon, but he turns out to be just as tortured as Edward is.  So I guess Bella is just an unlucky girl.”

On Being Romantic:

“I don’t know, I can’t think of a single romantic thing I’ve ever done.  That’s terrible.  Wait.  I put a flower in someone’s locker when I was 15-years-old.  It was a girl named Maria.  She thought it was somebody else that had done it and the other guy was trying to take credit.”

The good/bad news about becoming famous:

“It’s a scary situation to be in, in a lot of ways.  You really have to question yourself a lot more. Before Twilight, I did any movie that I could and I tried to make the best of it afterwards.  But now you’re expected to come and provide, not only economic viability at the box office, but also a smashing performance as well.  When no one’s watching your movies and you get a part, you can do whatever the hell you want.  I don’t have that luxury anymore.”
