Everybody was wearing bullet-proof vests.

He was very good. Very charismatic, funny, relaxed. I think he could do another movie. And he was able to show vulnerability, totally different from the image in the rap world.

The first few days, I worked about seven hours on each scene with him. He just kept wanting to do it better. He never went to self-pity or said, 'What do you want from me?' even though it was difficult. I knew he had resilience and self-confidence. He worked very hard, never complained, never was in a bad humor.

I had that feeling the minute I met him that I could do a movie about somebody coming back from the dead, ... One of the times when I was getting a little hyperbolic and melodramatic, I wrote down, 'A black-gangster Jesus with the wounds to prove it.'

He had a Muhammad Ali-kind of self-confidence, ... There's something in that culture, that if you're very confident, very expressive, you must be close to death. Because for hundreds of years, you weren't allowed to be like that. So when you repress people, and they can't express their natural soul and you keep them back and push them down, down, down -- you're going to get the diamonds that come up. And 50's one of them. He's like Muhammad Ali.

We were always walking the line between reality and fiction.

I kind of grew up in a neighborhood like that, so I felt I knew 50, ... to go inside the ghetto and see what's the cause of the rage.

I think there's an affinity with the Irish and black culture in many ways. I think tap emerged from Irish dancing when we came over with our hard shoes. Blacks watched it and developed it with hands and body and made it a different thing. There are many ways in how the cultures cross each other.

[For instance, in the original script, 50 Cent's character, Marcus, kills four rival drug dealers on a corner.] I was asking the studio, 'Is this true?' They said they don't know. 50 said no, ... So I said, one, if he did kill somebody, why advertise it, and two, if he didn't, why glorify it? So I took it in a different direction.

Everybody was wearing bulletproof vests. But I've filmed in Belfast; you get used to it, you know? I never felt threatened on the set.

I thought city government was bad. It doesn't have anything on FEMA.

I was going to everybody and saying, 'You've got to stop this,' and nobody was saying no, so I just lost my head.

The kids were going insane, 50. I thought someone was going to get injured.

He works very, very hard - he's determined, very focused and has huge self-esteem,

At the end of the movie people will wonder: Is this the real 50 Cent? Has he changed? Is he acting a part? All three are true,
