The star of 'The Twilight Saga: New Moon' Robert Pattinson in a new interview discusses the film, as well as his view of playing Edward Cullen - the scenes that reflect Bella's (Kristen Stewart's character) loneliness and desperation. He also admits that while he is not all that romantic in real life, he enjoyed the romantic scenes in New Moon.

When asked about not being as heavily featured in New Moon as in Twilight Pattinson explains: "Those [hallucination] scenes were the hardest scenes. They weren’t really at the time, but when I saw the first cut of the movie, I was like, [we need to re-do this]; we’ve changed them quite a bit in the edit and ADR, mainly because it’s so difficult. It’s not Edward who you’re playing, it’s a manifestation of Bella’s loneliness and desperation. That was always very difficult — I was trying to ask Kristen, 'How would you play it?' As for being alone, I think I’ve always felt a little bit aloof as the character throughout the whole series. I think that’s how he is."

When asked if he is a romantic person in his own life, he reveals: "I haven’t done that many romantic things in my life … I like the romantic scenes. I felt like a lot of the story line in “New Moon” is very heartbreaking and true. And I didn’t think I was doing something just for the sake of romance. In a lot of ways, it’s a very sad story. Hmmm … what’s the most romantic thing I’ve ever done?"
