If my film does not do well, it really hurts me. But by God's grace, even if some of my films may not have done well, people have still liked my work in it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When my films don't do well, I'm hurt and surprised. It's discouraging.
I've made movies that I thought were okay, but then I was very good. And sometimes you're in a movie and you think, 'I wish more people saw that' - because you're good. And it just works out that the movie gets lost. But that's show business.
Sometimes I do movies that aren't any good, or sometimes I might not be any good in them, or sometimes they don't do very well.
I was slightly disheartened when three of my films didn't work at the box-office. But the silver lining is that people did appreciate my work in those films. Had my performance gone unnoticed, I would've been in big trouble then.
At the end of the day, it is about working in a good film. It's the films that you leave behind that matter.
When you do a film like 'My Soul to Take,' and people think it sucks, that hurts. We put a lot of work into it, and it's a good film, but you go on.
If my films make one more person miserable, I'll feel I have done my job.
Usually when I am in a movie that is about to come out, if people don't love it, that is fine - I can handle it.
People's behaviour towards you changes when your films don't work. It's a painful period.
If a film is not a success, then that's just the way things are. Nothing I can do can make a difference. I have stopped worrying about it.
