Seven Pounds made Will cautious

Will Smith says playing a depressed, suicidal tax officer in his new film Seven Pounds, has made him take greater control over his own destiny. The movie is about a US IRS agent whose past mistakes come back to taunt and haunt him. Will insists that the role has made him more cautious and prepared to face whatever fate doles out to him. "That's one of the elements that attracted me to this idea – how much control you can have over your life but how much you don't have once you relinquish it," he said. Adding, "I make choices in my life after working on this film. I found myself walking down the stairs, it was raining, and I found myself grabbing extra-hard on the railing. Just think, one slip – and that's it. You have to be conscious. You don't have control after you've set these dominoes in motion. Your control point is before you make this crucial mistake."
