Robert Pattinson continued, "The nature of the shoot was so kind of insular, always shooting at night, and I felt very much alone. You're not really allowed out of the studio with the suit on, so I barely knew what was going on at all outside."
Still, at least he kept chipper on set as he got into character. "I have to really, really feel like I've hit rock bottom," Pattinson told GQ.
"Where right up until the moment I have to perform it's, 'Wow, I'm the most empty piece of s***'."
Robert Pattinson adds: "You have to feel the pain. And suddenly it's like God gives you a little treat, 'Here's an idea you've never thought of before'."
