Patience, who is undoubtedly known for playing evil-inclined roles, such as “wicked mother-in-law,” told Yes magazine that ‘acting bad roles is just her trade mark’ as many others also act different kind of roles and they are known for it.
She said, “People should admit that I have something to play! People are known for stunts, romance, bad boys and girls, gigolo and so on, but I have that as my strong point. It was when I was coming up that I thought I might get hurt or being hated for playing those roles but I never knew it was going to even make me popular and loved.
“The roles I play most times are very
vibrant and make people want to watch all my movies; even if I play the
role of a good woman now, my fans will start complaining; you
understand?”
She explained further that when she tries to act a good woman, her
fans complain and with such, a producer planning to use her will have to
be very creative with the script to bring out the best in her.
“And if your fans start complaining
that they don’t want you in a particular role, it makes the producers
want to give me those bad woman roles the more,” she said.
She also noted that she does not make demands for the bad roles she acts but she works based on the script.
“I don’t ask for it, they just give
it to me and if the script I get has something new and my fans are
anxious of what the role is going to be like, I can make it different
from what I used to do.
“It is not easy to play bad roles at
all times. Ask any artiste around you and they will tell you it’s not
easy to cry and shout on set at the same time when it isn’t your normal
self.
“It is not an easy task at all,” she added.
