Yeah. Shush. Anyway. arysani posted some quotes from this already, but G4 interviewed Robert Pattinson and his take on Edward is just... it makes me smirk.

Based off his reading of the Midnight Sun manuscript:

[Edward] sees himself as the biggest moron and just disgusting and selfish and everything... That's essentially how I saw him anyway. He's a guy who's just incredibly frustrated and finds this one thing which is his and he can't keep it safe and that's almost impossible for him to handle. He's not that great a guy at all, I mean, it's just how [Bella] sees him. That's how I'm interpreting it anyway because it's just impossible to play a perfect guy.

On "vampire stuff" (his words, srsly):

I don't get to kill anyone. I really want to get to kill some people. I keep trying to convince them to let me have one little casualty. I mean, I just want to have one where I flip out and just kill a whole crowd. That'd be great. But, uh, I think Edward-- he's trying to hide it all the time, which is annoying. He's always trying to maintain, you know, the human.

The Bella/Edward relationship:

I've been trying to get more of the serious aspects. He's a 108 year old guy who's gonna live forever and hates himself and this girl-- I mean, when you put the bare facts out he tells her, "I've killed forty or fifty people and that you really shouldn't-- and I want to kill you so much, every single day. Every moment I'm with you, I'm desperately wanting to kill you." And she's like, "I don't care. I love you." And it's like, well, there's definitely something wrong with her and there's very obviously something wrong with me, and I just try to get that kind of relationship rather than just two teenagers who like each other.

And a bit of rehash, but it amuses me:

It's always such a bizarre situation, for him especially. He's like, "What am I doing with this kid. I'm 108 years old and I've fallen in love with this girl who sits next to me in Biology."
