Robert Pattinson wants to start his own religion.
The 'Twilight' star has a lot of other ambitions away from acting and he is intrigued by the idea of being the head of his own faith.
He told the German edition of Glamour magazine: "I definitely want to record an album, direct a film and start my own religion."
Robert can think of one major benefit to having his own believers - the lucrative tax breaks given to religions.
Speaking about the advantages of organised faith, he added: "Well, I definitely wouldn't have to pay taxes anymore."
It seems Robert has recently been musing about religion.
The 24-year-old actor addressed claims author Stephanie Meyer hides Mormon teachings and philosophy in her vampire books, especially final tome 'Breaking Dawn' in which character Bella Swan decides to keep a baby even though it threatens her life.
He said: "I think people make up all these Mormon references just so they can publish 'Twilight' articles in respectable publications. Even Stephanie said it doesn't mean any of that. It is based on a dream."
