Rob Pattinson Talks About His Musical Career

Next week in Los Angeles, the cast of "New Moon" will launch a 15-city tour, crisscrossing the nation as they promote the release of the "Twilight" sequel. There's no word yet whether Robert Pattinson himself will show up at any of the events, which will feature Q&As with the cast and live music from "Twilight" bands like Death Cab for Cutie and Band of Skulls. But while such promotional efforts are part of the moviemaking business, the type of tour RPattz is really interested in is of a different pop-culture variety: music.
As he told the Australian newspaper theDaily Telegraph, he one days wants to kick off a concert tour, though he's not as excited about actually releasing an album. "I'm not particularly interested in releasing it, but I'd like to do some gigs," he said. "I guess the only way to do that is to get an album out."
As Twilighters know well, Pattinson plays the guitar and piano and recorded a number of songs for the "Twilight" soundtrack (though only one, "Never Think," eventually was included on the disc). Pattinson also played a struggling singer/songwriter in the indie film "How to Be," which made its TV debut last spring.
But before he hits the road with a live act, Pattinson thinks he has to devote more time to improving his guitar skills. "I never manage more than five chords," he laughed. "I have to work on that."
One thing he's attempted to work on as well, Pattinson told the Telegraph, is creating an image of himself that is less interesting to paparazzi and that might allow him to retain a sense of privacy. "None of my strategies works particularly well," he admitted. "I've [tried] making my life look as boring as possible because I thought it would cause them to lose interest, but it didn't.
"A seven-year-old came up and asked me to bite her — and she was serious," he added. "I thought, 'You don't know what you're asking.' That was very odd."
