~ Transcript from 2:23 where Rob talked about his career decisions and Twilight.~

S.Ahmed: You recently won the Maverick award at the Savannah Film Festival because of the roles you chose. Which suggests a kind of a successful career plan...as such...

Rob: There was sort of a vague plan. I like doing things that’s scary. I got lucky in that. A lot of people when I was doing Twilight said that, everyone asked if I was scared of being typecast, well I was never consciously scared of it, but I guess in the back of my mind, there is something which is kind of… you know you don’t want to end up pigeonholed. So I want to do completely the opposite thing, every single time.

S. Ahmed: Can I ask how you look back on those films?

Rob: I mean it was all a great experience for me. I think a lot of people who got into big franchise stuff ended up being really burned by it. And disheartened. But, I had a really great experience all the time.  Yeah moments kind of stressed and pressure but really it was a young studio making it, I liked everyone that I was working with, and it hasn’t stopped me from doing anything I don’t want to do. So this is pretty much… no downside at all (*laughs). It was really fun. I like the movies, and also I approached them exactly as I approach everything I am doing now. I think people think that if you are doing a movie that ended up being commercial, you would think differently about it. But I have actually approached everything exactly the same way.
