Robert Pattinson Wants Praise From 'Little Ashes' Fans Rather Than 'Twilight''s

Robert Pattinson says he wants to be remembered for his role in 'Little Ashes' and not for his character in 'Twilight'.

Robert Pattinson says he prefers to be praised for his role as Salvador Dali in "Little Ashes" to his portrayal as Edward Cullen in "Twilight". "Without Twilight I don't know what would happen to them. They would get like one theater. Tiny," he says. "I love it when people come up to me and say, 'I'm not actually a fan of yours from Twilight, I'm a fan of yours from the poster of Little Ashes' It's so funny."

In related news, Robert Pattinson admits he disagrees with people who consider Edward Cullen an "emo". "I don't really know what emo is to be honest. Does it mean you're in touch with your emotions? I think he's kind of the opposite," the 22-year-old heartthrob tells Film.com. "He's spent his entire life repressing everything. He's kind of ashamed of himself when he lets his facade of formality break. When Bella comes into his life. He doesn't want to feel anything. He wants to make his world smaller and smaller because he doesn't feel like he belongs in it."

"He either want to be a human or die because his existence is completely pointless. That's why he doesn't talk to anyone. He doesn't really feel anything in the book apart from when Bella comes. He's literally counting the cracks in the wall and stuff," he explains. "Every single day is exactly the same thing. If he feels anything he shuts it down immediately. He doesn't let himself feel anything at all, so I guess it's the opposite. Or he's a closet emo."
