Singer Robbie Williams deliberately avoids having his own Twitter account because he knows he would be "vicuious" on the micro-blogging site.
The 'Go Gentle' hitmaker said he would get in so much trouble' if he joins and waste days voicing his opinions, reported Contactmusic.
"I am (on Twitter), via someone else. If I want to say something, I tell them because I'd get into so much trouble if it was left to me. Because I bite and I bite hard. I'd be vicious. That would be my whole day gone. I'm going to stay away from that. I think it's best for my soul," he said.
Williams prefers to express himself in his songs and admits some of the tongue-in-cheek lyrics on his upcoming album Swings Both Ways were influenced by his days touring gay clubs with boy band Take That.
"When I joined Take That, we toured gay clubs for 18 months. It always used to confuse me and make me laugh when a lot of the gay people I was hanging out with were insistent everybody was gay," he added.
