Time & Perspective Quote by Robert Pattinson

"I always get carried away when I'm kissing. I just go nuts! Walking away after it is the strangest moment for me. It's embarrassing - not knowing what to say to each other"

About this Quote

Pattinson turns the supposedly glamorous currency of celebrity romance into something awkwardly human: too much feeling, not enough script. The phrase "carried away" does double duty. It hints at passion, sure, but it also suggests a loss of control, like the moment outruns the persona that’s meant to contain it. Then he spikes the fantasy with "I just go nuts!" a deliberately unsophisticated line that reads like a self-mockery shield. If you admit you’re overwhelmed, you say it in a way that keeps the audience from taking it too seriously.

The real tell is his fixation on the aftermath. Most public talk about kissing lingers on buildup and payoff; Pattinson spotlights the exit ramp. "Walking away after it is the strangest moment" frames intimacy as a scene with blocking, not a private act. That’s actor-brain, but it’s also celebrity-brain: what happens when the performance ends and two people are left holding the messy remainder of a heightened moment.

"Embarrassing - not knowing what to say" lands as both romantic and strategic. Romantic, because it admits the basic truth that physical closeness doesn’t automatically create emotional fluency. Strategic, because it softens his image against the hyper-constructed male lead archetype he’s often cast as. In the late-2000s/early-2010s context of fan-scrutinized relationships and PR-coded interviews, this kind of confession reads like an authenticity play: intimacy presented not as conquest, but as social disorientation.
