CELEBRITY NEWS & GOSSIP

Robert Pattinson is Edward Cullen, but Edward Cullen is not Robert Pattinson.

The "Twilight" and soon-to-be "Water for Elephants" star opens up in a candid, thoughtful interview with Italy's Style Magazine (parent newspaper: Corriere della Sera). The actor best known for being a vampire talks about his childhood, his relationships, his career, and, oh, his co-star Kristen Stewart, whom most assume he's been dating for a number of years.

Here's an excerpt of what he has to say; the full interview, translated to English, includes talk about his favorite actors, his childhood and more.
