Will Smith: 'Movie Made me More Careful'

Will Smith is glad he plays a depressed, suicidal tax officer in new film Seven Pounds - because it made him take greater control over his own destiny.The Hancock actor stars as a U.S. Irs agent who is racked with guilt about his past mistakes in the upcoming drama.And he admits the role has made him behave more cautiously in case fate deals him a tragic blow.He tells Usa Today, "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."I make choices in my life after working on this film. I found myself walking down the staIrs and it's 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.”
