Robert Pattinson is on the cover of the U.K.'s Esquire Magazine, and he gets very honest about his former relationship with Kristen Stewart.

He said that the fact that his relationship with Stewart ended was "normal" because they are young.

"Sh*t happens, you know?" he said. "It's just young people. ... It's normal! And honestly, who gives a sh*t?"

Pattinson explained that the hardest part for him was figuring out how to talk about the situation. He didn't want to say anything that could affect Stewart.

"It's like that scene in 'Doubt,' where he's talking about how to take back gossip? They throw all those feathers from a pillow into the sky and you've got to go and collect all the feathers," he said.

The "Twilight" actor continues to be very humble about his celebrity, saying that he doesn't understand why he gets followed by paparazzi. He thinks it's because he's the "guy to the follow" for the moment.

It still doesn't prepare him for the encounters.

"But whenever I see a bunch of paparazzi hanging out, I always think, 'Oh God, what have they found out!'" he said. "Oh, THAT love child! I totally forgot!"

Pattinson has been steadily working since the ending of "Twilight," but he has mostly been working in indies. He thinks that critics are much tougher on these kinds of movies because they "step outside the norms of mass entertainment."

As with many interviews with Pattinson, this one also circled back to his living situation.

The reporter asked to have lunch at his house, but Pattinson declined.

"People have journalists over because it's part of the whole 'show,'" he said. "But my house doesn't reflect my personality. There's, like, no furniture! It looks a bit psychotic"
