Los Angeles March 4 (IANS) Actor Bruce Willis says he truly believes that everything in life happens exactly the way it is meant to be.
"I truly believe on a deep level that everything happens exactly the way it s supposed to in life " Willis said in a statement.
Willis whose performances have always contained a deep and layered understanding of his characters and the times they live in is seen as Paul Kersey in "Death Wish".
He saw Kersey as a man who laid down and followed his own preordained path.
"Approaching this film I thought it s clear that this character was on the path he was supposed to be on. To be a doctor as Paul Kersey is you have to want to help people. And then though it came from a tragedy after his family is attacked Kersey gets to where he is because he s supposed to be there -- one way or the other. And all of that was there in the script " Willis said.
