Robert Pattinson is contemplating quitting acting after Twilight because he's unsure if he wants a long stretch in the film industry after the vampire franchise.

The 23 year old has had a rollercoaster ride from relative unknown to global superstar since taking on the role of blood-sucking Edward Cullen.

Now Pattinson is looking into the future, and admits he's thought about giving up acting for good.

Referring to his character, Pattinson tells Seventeen magazine, "I don't even know if 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!"
