I don't want to just sell out shows to young girls who like my movie franchise. I want to sell tickets because people respect me.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If any movie people are watching this show, please, for me, have some respect. You wanna sell some tickets, act like you know what you're talking about.
You have to understand that you are not making the film for yourself; you're making it for the audience. If I am asking my audiences to buy tickets, I owe them the worth of their money, and I owe them entertainment.
Most of the offers I get from Hollywood are for teen comedies. My manager thinks I'm crazy for turning down all that money, but I'm very picky.
Promotions are the worst part of making a movie. We are actors and not salesmen. Still, you have to go to so many places to try and sell the movie.
If you go to Hollywood, you've already sold out.
Actually, we've done 75 of these shows and every one of them has sold out. But then we buy all the tickets.
I don't want to be in somebody else's movie, and then they make all the money. I've gotten offers to do the movies, but I won't sell myself short and be in somebody else's movie, like 'Boyz N the Hood.' I don't think I woulda done that.
I don't have to worry about how my movies sell because I'm not the guy in front.
I'm not up there with Kate Winslet and Julia Roberts. I don't sell tickets. I've known that for a long time.
When I want to support a film starring actors I like, I purchase several tickets at the box office - even if I can't stay for the movie.
