Robert Pattinson graces the April 2009 cover and pages of GQ to promote his Little Ashes film – directed by Paul Morrison – and opens up about his Twilight audition. Pattinson says I took half a Valium and then went into this thing—and all this stuff happened. It was the first time I’ve ever taken Valium. A quarter. A quarter of a Valium. I tried to do it for another audition, and it just completely backfired—I was passing out.
On watching his performance on Twilight. He watched the first ten minutes @ the America premiere w/ mom, and then: I went out and sat in the car, having a full-blown panic attack.”
On the future: I’m not massively concerned about doing lots of acting jobs. If it all just went, right now, I’d be like, ‘All right. I don’t really care.’ That’s probably a stupid thing to say. But I don’t, really.
On Little Ashes – as young artist Salvador Dali: I thought I’d never get another acting job again. So I was like, ‘Yeah—why not try to do something weird?’ There’s all these gay sex scenes. And y’know, I haven’t even done a sex scene with a girl, in my whole career… And here I am, with Javier [Beltrán], who plays Lorca, doing an extremely hard-core sex scene, where I have a nervous breakdown afterward. And because we’re both straight, what we were doing seemed kind of ridiculous.
On rumored girlfriend – Annelyse: There’s literally not a single [true] story that could be written about me. There’s this thing about my supposed girlfriend. There’s this one girl who’s consistently mentioned. It’s like, ‘He’s dating this Brazilian model.’ … What’s her name—-Annelyse. I’ve never met her.
On Camila Belle and pictures of him walking with her: That’s the extent of it. I mean, Camilla’s the nicest—she’s a saint. I don’t see people. I don’t even have people’s phone numbers. I almost don’t want to have a girlfriend, in this environment.
On romantically linked to Ms. Camilla: That’s the funniest [rumor]. No. I mean, yeah, yeah, I’m friends with Camilla… It’s funny, though, because I met her at her place the other day, and there’s a security gate, and even the security woman—I guess she knows that Camilla lives there, and she was like, ‘Oooh!’ …I mean, Camilla’s the nicest—she’s a saint. And it’s funny that she’s being portrayed as this home wrecker. She’s literally the most unlikely person to be a home wrecker. It’s just ridiculous.

On any last comments – progued by interviewer: Okay, (deep breath) I f***ed Joe Jonas. I love him.
