Samantha accepts failure over her last few films
A person asked, “Can you tell us how hard have you worked for Citadel and what your character would look like?” Samantha said, “I made a promise to myself that I’ll challenge myself with every role that I take, each challenge being more difficult than the last one. I agree I made some mistakes in the past and things haven’t really worked out, and I accept failure. I accept that I might not have done my best in my last few films.”
Samantha opens up about Citadel
“Citadel is something that I am truly proud of, even before its release just for the fact that I was able to complete the project. So I’m already proud of it.
