I saw ''Bound'' and I loved it. ''The Matrix'' is exactly what they pitched, but they were designing those cameras to get those freeze-frames, and I was like, "If that doesn't work, the movie looks ridiculous." I didn't feel comfortable with the level of importance placed on that effect working properly. … That's probably the only one that I turned down that I shouldn't have, but when you see somebody do it like Keanu you think, "Thank God." I don't think I was mature enough as an actor at that point to get out of the way and just let it be and allow the directors to make the movie. I would have been trying to make jokes. Now I would have loved to take a shot and see what I would have done with it and I know now I could absolutely have been mature enough to get out the way. But back then I don't think I was.}}</ref> उसने बाद में वक्तव्य दिया कि वह अभिनेता के रूप में उस समय परिपक्व नहीं था,<ref name="empire will smith"/> अगर उसे यह भूमिका दी जाती तो वह उसके साथ न्याय नहीं कर पाता।<ref>{{cite web|last=Hillner|first=Jennifer|title=I, Robocop|work = [[Wired (magazine)|Wired]]| publisher =Condé Nast Publications| date = | year = |url=http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/12.07/smith_pr.html| doi = | accessdate = }}</ref><ref>रिग्स, रैनसम.
