Robert Pattinson on working on roles that everyone say is 'lame'

When asked about a project that he was 'not into at all,' Robert Pattinson had a pretty honest reply. The actor said, “I have a deep, deep fear of humiliation.” He added, “And also, you sort of know it’s down to you. You can say it’s a sh***y script or the director’s a di** or blah, blah, blah, but at the end of the day, no one’s going to care about the reasons. You’re the one who everyone’s going to say is lame. And the vast majority of people will say you’re lame even when you tried your best.”

Pattinson added, “And so it’s kind of this frightening thing, ’cause I don’t know how viable this is for a career. … I don’t know how many people there actually are in the industry who are willing to back you without any commercial viability whatsoever.”

“I’m constantly thinking that you’re just going to spend the vast majority of your life unemployed and desperate and kind of feeling like you’re a total failure,” he told Firstman, further adding, “I think that’s just what life is.”
