Rob Pattinson: 'Twilight Shows Love Conquers All'
By TheImproper.com
Twilight star Robert Pattinson says the message behind the hit vampire romance is that love does indeed conquer all.
"It's a love story that shows that nothing is impossible," Pattinson told Colombia's Tu magazine in a new interview. "If you really love someone, you can overcome any obstacle."

Pattinson, 22, is a hot commodity these days, thanks to Twi's monster box-office success. So far, the film has grossed an astonishing $282 million worldwide since its Nov. 21 U.S. release. A sequel, New Moon (2009), will begin shooting in March, and will be filmed back-to-back with its sequel, Eclipse (2010).
Despite the deafening buzz surrounding the Twi machine, Rob has not been seen publicly since Dec. 22, when he jetted home to London to spend the Christmas holidays with his family. Pattinson, who previously starred as Cedric Diggory in the 2005 blockbuster Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, was an unknown before Twi mania catapulted him to overnight sensation. Now, the handsome 6'1" British hunk can't go anywhere without attracting swarms of paparazzi and screaming fans.

Indeed, Rob recently made international headlines when he cut the trademark tousled hair he sported as sexy vampire Edward Cullen. But why did he do it? "That’s why I wanted to get a new haircut: When someone says that something is a trademark, you better get rid of it," explains Pattinson.
The self-deprecating London native seems to have his head squarely on his shoulders. When asked about industry scuttlebutt comparing him to heartthrob Jude Law, Rob remains modest. "I suppose if they say so, it's just because I’m British too," he says. He was also pleasantly surprised when told that his beautiful co-star Kristen Stewart, 18, called him "an excellent kisser." Says Rob: "Really? Wow!"
Pattinson, who previously struggled for work (as most actors do), wants to keep acting for as long as he can. "I definitely want to continue with acting for a while now," he says. "I’ve worked for so long now and received nothing [no recognition], so when everything is working, it would feel silly to waste it all away."
