Robert Pattinson flipped his hat back and smiled for photographers during a press stop in NYC today. He joined Cosmopolis director David Cronenberg at The Times Center to participate in a TimesTalks session about their collaboration on the dramatic flick. During the discussion, David complimented Rob on his work, saying, "If Rob were a violin, he'd be a Stradivarius."

Earlier in the day, Rob stopped by GMA to discuss his role in the project and politely dismissed questions about his personal life and relationship with Kristen Stewart. Rob seems to be making the best of his time in the Big Apple and was spotted in high spirits while partying with friends late last night. It follows a full week of interviews for Rob — on Monday he appeared on The Daily Show With Jon Stewart and on Tuesday he and David sat down with Time magazine to talk fans, fame, and his future:

Rob on his fans: "I guess if people think they're worried about you, it's sweet. It's kind of odd. But at the same time, the world is a pretty cruel place, so whatever inspires people to suddenly feel this kindness, hopefully they'll look at themselves and they'll look at their own lives and realise, [awestruck, Eureka-moment voice] I have the ability to . . . to empathise with people!"
Rob on fame: "The world would be a much better place, I think, if all these bankers and billionaires were followed by paparazzi and studied as carefully. As soon as people look at something very closely, the whole thing just crumbles."
Rob on his next project: "I'm going to make this movie, Mission: Blacklist, about Eric Maddox, an Army interrogator who was one of the major people responsible for finding Saddam Hussein . . . The story is crazy, absolutely bizarre. It's a really cool director called Jean-Stéphane Sauvaire. We're going to shoot in Iraq next Summer. In January, I'm doing The Rover with David Michôd (who did the Australian movie Animal Kingdom), a futuristic Western with Guy Pearce."
