Fame Wrecks Pattinson's Music Dream

The Twilight star admits his best lyrics came from terrifying moments onstage in tiny London talent clubs - and now he can't set foot in the same places because he fears he'll be mobbed by fans.

He tells WENN, "I used to write a lot more music by just doing gigs, just turning up to open mics and stuff with two lines of the song and then the pressure would force me to make something up on the spot. And I can't really do that anymore, which was my main process for writing songs.

"When I sit down to write some lyrics it just sounds like rubbish. All the songs I've done before were based on as much of a stream of consciousness as you can get."

But Pattinson, who wrote and performed tunes for the Twilight soundtrack, insists he hasn't given up his dreams of becoming a music star: "I've been talking to people (producers) about stuff for ages, where I play a musician. I'd really like to, but it's quite difficult to do. I think it's a bit risky as well.

"I think I'm doing another movie after the movie I'm doing now but I think I'll try and write some music, hopefully by the end of the year."
