*TRANSCRIPT THANKS TO THE LION & THE LAMB LJ COMMUNITY!*

RP: "Helloooo?" He explodes into giggles.

someone tells him that we're all here to ask him questions before they screen "How To Be" and that Johnny is here.

RP: *ignores us* "Hi Johnny, how have you been? I miss you."
JW: "Hey Rob. I'm good, I haven't seen you in awhile."
RP: "Yeah, we should get together soon." Johnny starts saying something about getting together in London, but Rob starts laughing because he realizes he's having a conversation with his friend and we're all listening.

And thennnnnnnnnnnnnnnn the questions start. Everyone is way more nervous asking Robert stuff than Johnny so it's much quieter and barely anyone asks anything. They have to encourage us again because we're all sort of in shock.

Why did you decide to take on the role of Art?
RP: "I read the script and I liked it a lot, and Oliver was very nice. Also, Art has no self esteem and I'm sort of like that. Like I am self-conscious and I need reassurance on everything, like all the time."

Did you enjoy incorporating your own musical abilities into the film?
RP: "Yes, well Art isn't very good. I like to think I'm much better than that in real life. I hope. Art is a bit of a git."

This has already taken up as much time as half of Johnny's interview because Robert takes about 10 minutes to answer a question, and it takes all of us forever to get the nerve to ask him a question. They have to start encouraging us again.

Where are you? Why aren't you here?
RP: "I'm in LA." We all groan. Johnny says he's lying and he's actually on the rooftop. Robert also says he's filming a new movie, and I am SO SORRY but I already forget what it's called. I checked and it's not even up on his IMDB page. He also said who was in the movie with him, but I couldn't understand because he was mumbling hahaha.

How much of your own wardrobe did you use in the film?
RP: He laughs. "Um, about 50% of the clothes belonged to me before the film, and I own most of the rest of them now too." We all laugh and he laughs with us. Someone asks which ones were his to start with. He says the USA shirt and the one that says 'a life'

THEN THEY TELL US ONLY ONE MORE QUESTION. Johnny got wayyy more time, but I think they just wanted to start the movie because it was already very delayed.

What's your favorite color? And..... [ she says the rest of this so fast it all comes out as one word ] I baked you a cake on your birthday with your face on it.

AND ROB'S RESPONSE, HAHAHAHA. MY FAVORITE PART OF THE NIGHT.

RP: "Oh." We all start cracking up. "My favorite color............um........i dunno......um........ uhhhhh...................................................... ..........." Someone on stage starts talking because they think he's not going to answer, and all of a sudden he shouts, "BROWN!" and starts laughing hysterically. You can tell he like looked around his room for the first color he could find. And then, "And I don't actually like cake very much. At all."

Then they allowed one more question because it was someone who worked there, onstage.

Robert, if you were stranded on a desert island with only the cast of "How To Be," who would you eat and why?
RP: He laughs. "Um... I dunno." He takes a good 30 seconds to think about it with some more um's and idk's. "Johnny doesn't look all that appetizing." We all laugh. "I dunno, I would probably just eat myself because they're all such nice people." Awww :)

And then we had to say goodbye. :( It was a giant chorus of "THANK YOU ROOOOBBBBBBBB!" He giggled again. Love him. (less info)
