R-Patz prepares to fail for becoming better actor

Washington -  Robert Pattinson has revealed that he constantly expects failure and believes that he would become a bad actor if he felt ''validated'' by his performances.

The 'Cosmopolis' star, who was recently left devastated when girlfriend Kristen Stewart confessed to an affair with married director Rupert Sanders, always tries to be pessimistic about his career in order to become better at what he does.

''I think as soon as you feel validated, you're a bad actor. You have to constantly feel that there's a 99 percent chance of failure. Total failure. Devastating failure,” Contactmusic quoted him as saying on 'MTV First Robert Pattinson'.

''You should feel like every single job is the potential where you're never going to get another job again. Not in a bad way - you should feel good about it, because then you're in it. It's all about living in the present,” he added.
