"I don't feel pressure, because I do..." - Quote by Denzel Washington
I don't feel pressure, because I do what I want to do. I don't feel pressure at all. I've never done any movies because I thought this was what somebody wanted me to do. I'm a bit more, for lack of a better word, selfish than that. But like I say in the movie, you do what you have to do so that you can do what you want to do.

Every failed experiment is one step closer to success.”
