Hollywood actor Robert Pattinson says he looks for roles that will help him with his life and that is why he agreed to do the movie Remember Me.

The Twilight star plays Tyler Hawkins, a rebellious young man living in New York city and trying to cope with the suicide of his brother in Remember Me, reported contactmusic.com.

"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. 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,” said the 23-year-old actor.
