Robert Pattinson wrote a journal to prepare himself for his role in Twilight.

The 22-year-old British actor plays vampire Edward Cullen in the recent flick based on the novel by Stephenie Meyer.

And Pattinson admits he got so into the role he became obsessed.

“It wasn’t exactly a journal,” Pattinson is quoted as saying. “I don’t know how it started but I hadn’t realized how difficult it was going to be to play Edward until I started reading the script.

“He’s a very complex character. So I moved to Portland on my own two or three months before filming began and I didn’t do anything but read the script and books to find anything that helped me play him.

“So I started to write things. I mean, if you really prepare for a role, there’s going to be a moment in which he’s all you can think of.

“So I did things like little suicide notes. I was a little worrying actually.”

Rob reprises his role as Cullen in Twilight sequel New Moon, which hit theaters later this year.
