I\u2019m learning how to balance those things. At the end of the day, you\u2019re a public figure, there\u2019s nothing you can do, but some things are meant for yourself and for your loved ones, and then also allowing for that space between the anonymity of you, so that you can play someone else and they won\u2019t necessarily always put you in\u2014I mean, we just talked about being eloquent. Here I am stumbling over my words, trying to explain what I\u2019m trying to say. But I do try to have privacy, not just for characters, but for me in real life. I try to be honest to who I am when I am in public, but I also try to keep things for myself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"9\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">The actress also made rare comments about Holland while discussing her preconceived notions of Pattinson when she first met him.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"10\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">She said Pattinson probably knew \u201cwhat I thought about you before I met you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"11\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Pattinson added, \u201cBecause Tom [Holland] had already told you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"12\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">\u201cTruthfully, I met you because we had common friends, and you were always pretty quiet and chill, which is a little different from my experience of Rob,\u201d she said. \u201cYou didn\u2019t say much, and I was like, \u2018Ooh, mysterious!\u2019 Then I talked to Tom and he was like, \u2018No, he\u2019s super fun and always laughing and joking,\u2019 and I was like, \u2018Really? I haven\u2019t experienced that side of him, I guess.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"13\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">\u201cThat\u2019s so depressing,\u201d Pattinson replied. \u201cI wish I could stay in the mysterious.
