Robert Pattinson

I aspire to be Jack Nicholson. I love every single mannerism. I used to try and be him in virtually everything I did, I don’t know why. I watched One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest when I was about 13, and I dressed like him. I tried to do his accent. I did everything like him. I think it’s kind of stuck with me.

We had to do this scene looking like heroes diving into the lake. they had a stand-in doing perfect dives on the first take. Then Stan, Clemence, And I tried, but none of us could dive in right, and we all looked really stupid.

[On his favourite scene from “New Moon”] The Volterra scene, where I have to step into the light. There were many extras and many fans there. Some fans travelled across the world to be there. I felt a huge sense of responsibility, being in front of so many that are so obsessed with this story. It was nerve wrecking, but I never felt closer to the character before this.

Before Twilight, I did any movie that I got offered. But now fans expectations have doubled and I just can’t mess around. Today, I can’t afford to be a part of any movie. I have to question a lot more now before I take a project. After all I can’t disappoint my fans.

Last year I couldn’t even have a date,but now it seems that girls have changed their opinion about me.

I’ve changed so much. I’m not nearly as cocky as I was, I was a real prat for the first month. I didn’t talk to anyone. I just drank coffee and told everyone I was 24 and this famous theatre actor just back from South Africa.

Education helps one case cease being intimidated by strange situations.

Any man can learn anything he will, but no man can teach except to those who want to learn. Education is preeminently a matter of quality, not amount.

You can’t learn in school what the world is going to do next year.

What I’m learning is that there is so much to unlearn.

A man’s college and university degrees mean nothing to me until I see what he is able to do with them.

Learning carries within itself certain dangers because out of necessity one has to learn from one’s enemies.

Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school.

In teaching the children at Greenfield Village, we are trying to get back some of the solid McGuffey qualities.

Women who earn a certificate or degree from a community college, especially in STEM-related field, will be ready to move into a good-paying job in the growing global economy. Community colleges also offer mentorship and support that goes far beyond the classroom.

No one will ever get anywhere in this world unless he becomes a teacher, one who can show others how to do things.

I would like to be a scholar in whatever I do, a scholar is never finished, he is always seeking and I am always seeking.

Education not just preparation for life, but part if life itself-a continuous art.

The biggest little thing for entrepreneurs is the lifelong commitment to education.

When girls are educated, their countries become stronger and more prosperous.

No task before our nation is more important than expanding and improving the educational opportunities of all our people. The concept that every American deserves the opportunity to attain the highest level of education of which he is capable is not new to this Administration – it is a traditional ideal of democracy. But it is time that we moved toward the fulfillment of this ideal with more vigor and less delay. For education is both the foundation and the unifying force of our democratic way of life – it is the mainspring of our economic and social progress – it is the highest expression of achievement in our society, ennobling and enriching human life. In short, it is at the same time the most profitable investment society can make and the richest reward it can offer.
