Rob Pattinson: 'Twilight' Saved My Life

Not sure if I've already posted this, but...
Rob Pattinson has acknowledged that Twilight has saved him from being a layabout. He said:
"Sometimes you just don't know where you're going in the world. Before I got the role in 'Twilight' I didn't really know what I was doing.At the time I didn't really know if I did want to be an actor, I didn't know what I was doing, I hadn't gone to university, and I was just bumming around and not feeling particularly good at anything, But at the time I was desperately thinking that I would never reach or achieve my own goals that I had set for myself."
He also tells why he cut off his signature hair.
"The hair is still big - ish! It's toned down a little bit. It's not that I'm not fond of it but it became too much of the style and that was never my intention in the first place. It was supposed to be nondescript and then it became this massive deal so I cut it off."
Then again, the hair made him look sexy... :D

10 years after twilight , director Catherine Hardwicke opens up to The Daily Beast on new details on the film, some we've never known before. Ten years ago, the Twilight film franchise was an unknown quantity. In fact, Catherine Hardwicke, the director of the first Twilight, was surrounded by film executives who all but expected the vampire flick to fail. “Nobody thought this is a big, blockbuster franchise,” Hardwicke tells the Daily Beast. “There were very low expectations for Twilight, because every other studio had turned it down. They said, OK, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants was a very popular book for girls, and it made $39 million. That’s it. We don’t know if this could ever make us any more than that, so we don’t really want to spend more than that. The expectations were low literally up to opening weekend.” “Why do you think I got the job?” she laughs now. “Why do you think they hired a female director?
