50 Cent and Robert De Niro cover the March ‘08 issue of Vibe Magazine and discuss why it’s cool to play a gangster.
Is it ok to play a gangster?
50 Cent:
“Actors are imitating life. That exists. People who don’t actually follow the rules. So for an actor to create a project to show people what actually happens, that’s cool.”
De Niro :
“Movies are like dreams, an expression of people’s subconscious, what they feel, what they would want to do but wouldn’t do … And we all know the difference between reality and fiction.“
