Robert Pattinson has hinted that he plans to quit acting once he finishes work on the Twilight films.

The actor was thrust into the limelight over his role as the brooding vampire Edward Cullen in Twilight - a character he is to reprise in three more films.

And he's considering quitting acting once he finishes that.

He said, "I don't even know I want to be an actor that long. I don't even know how to be someone else.

"If I start doing lame work I'm not going to stick around and do it."
