Washington (ANI): Hollywood actor Robert Pattinson has refused to compose a soundtrack for his flick Twilight, as he wants to keep music as a back up career. Although The Twilight actor, who is a talented composer, pianist and guitarist, wrote two songs for the original flick, helping them to top the American album charts, he is not ready to do the same for the sequel.

"I really didn't want it to look like I was trying to cash in. Music is my back up plan," Contactmusic quoted Rob, as telling OK! Magazine.

Meanwhile the rock band Paramore has been signed up to pen the title track for the flick.

Everyone needs a "job" and a "hobby" - if acting is your choice of work and music is your way of escaping from everyday living - than by all means keep your music aside of all other. And then if you want to use it as back up if you ever should decide to try another career you always have it to fall back on. Don't you ever get tired of other people telling you how to live your life? I do and I'm not even you? It takes a special kind of patience to not want to knock somebody senseless for that kind of behaviour - but seriously, follow your heart, that will guide you to your happiness.

Robert I think you should do what you think is best. Yes You always need a back up plain if your first job plain fails. Which in your case I doubt will happen for quiet a while. In regards to not making a soundtrack. Do what your heart tels you and follow the trail to the end. That is what I say

Rob, please share your incredible talent! Music needn't be a back up plan. Follow your inspirations. When it comes from within, it's never seen as cashing in. That's what we consider "bubble gum pop" and carefully orchestrated boy bands. The best musicians, yourself included, write from within. Your voice is beautiful and your songs are unique and I hope for more.

I think Rob should ignore the money (cash) part and just do it for the fans. I really like the songs used in Twilight and I believe that he can write one that would go perfect with New Moon. Rob, please do it for the movie, any extra money you make see it as an extra bonus.

Please reconsider! That is why I bought the Twilight soundtrack.

I wish he would cash in; his music added greatly to the Twi soundtrack!

Such a shame as he has the most amazing soulful voice. But understandable I guess
