Actor Robert Pattinson says he does not know how to act. "I don't really know how to act, I kind of wanted to somehow make it real, and one of the ways I've always thought makes that a little bit easier is if you shake up your physical state just before action. You end up walking into a scene having a different ... feeling," Pattinson told the Observer newspaper, reports femalefirst.co.uk. Robert Pattinson: ‘Batman Is Not a Superhero, You Need to Have like Magical Powers to Be a Superhero”.

"I'm a catastrophist. I'm always thinking that the worst-case scenario is actually going to happen. So when it does happen, I'm like: 'Gah! OK! I'm prepared!'" He also shared that he's drawn to particular types of on-screen characters.

Pattinson said: "I'm not entirely sure how to play, like, a normal person. I don't think I'm great at subtle.I like characters who, when a situation is placed upon them, their decision-making process is incomprehensible. The actor says he finds it fascinating when people make bad decisions. "The humour and the befuddlement," he added.
