Robert Pattinson doesn’t like similar roles

Robert Pattinson doesn’t like to repeat his film roles.
The ‘Twilight’ star ensures that every part he takes on is completely different because he doesn’t like feeling "really self-conscious" over parts he’s played before.
He said: "I feel like as soon as I repeat myself even a little bit, I suddenly get really self-conscious. If you’re pushing something out into the unknown a little bit, you can’t judge yourself, because you don’t really know what you’re doing.
"Even with a voice I can’t really do it more than once, because then I think, ‘Oh, this is my acting voice.’ That’s why I can’t even do anything in my normal accent, because it doesn’t feel like I’m working."
And the 32-year-old actor felt pigeonholed at the start of his career.
He added to Little White Lies magazine: "When I first started … if you’re tall and have floppy hair and a posh accent, they’re like ‘Period dramas!’ And then you’re exclusively in the period dramas box. I was like, ‘No! I don’t want to do period dramas!’ I’ve done a couple, and as soon as I put on the high Edwardian collar, I’m like, ‘Ughhh’. Your costume is out-acting you at all times."
Robert previously admitted using a different accent for a movie is "confusing".
Asked whether he’s able to turn his on-screen accent on and off, he shared: "It depends who I’m talking to … if I’m talking to my co-stars, I’ll talk to them in my normal accent. If I’m talking to the directors, I’ll talk in a different accent. But if it’s just before a take or something, I’ll talk in this accent. It’s all kind of pretty random. I think if you’re speaking it the whole time it’s quite confusing to yourself … When everybody is doing different accents, it’s very, very difficult to stay in the same one."
