Pattinson: 'I aim for therapeutic roles'

Robert Pattinson has revealed that he likes to pick roles that will help him with his personal life.

The Remember Me actor, who plays a rebellious young man called Tyler who is trying to cope with his brother's suicide in the film, said that he uses his work as a "therapy exercise".

Pattinson told Parade magazine: "I try and pick roles that will help me develop as a human being and I think I was going through a similar kind of experience as my character Tyler, which I guess you could call being rebellious.

"I thought just doing the film would actually help me to think about and discover things that would help me in my life. I was kind of using it as a therapy exercise."
