50 Cent chats to ilikemusic.com

ILM: How difficult was it to portray the more vulnerable aspect of the character? Because on the street, the emotion, fear and concern in the eyes is just what you don't want to show?

50 Cent: Absolutely, for me I grew up kind of boxed in. Jim will tell you one of the things he was surprised about was me not displaying aggression easy. Because they assume because the music content is aggressive, that you have to be aggressive from the goodbye. If you're crying people will perceive you as weak, and you make yourself a victim, but if you're over-intimidating they'll kill you because you pushed the wrong person into a corner.

So you have to find a medium somewhere where you're non-threatening but everything that you want you actually have to take it. The thing that I think makes people look at me and makes me appear crazy is when things go on around me and I appear unaffected by it. So it looks like 'that was nothing, that was yesterday and today's another day.' And they go, somebody got stabbed yesterday, and it's a major thing to them and to me it's like [shrugs].
