Speaking about intense ways people react whenever they see him, Charles Awurum said:

CHARLES AWURUM: When I got into this place you saw how a guy shouted, that is how most people do. Some scream, some say Jesus, so many things. But when you grow in a certain industry, you get used to all those things. Those people are your fans. They are the ones that make you who you are. When you see them that way, it makes you feel that what you are doing, people like it and that’s what makes you are happy. I go through so many gates because of what I do. Doors open for me because of what I do. People are happy seeing me. I am used to crowd. Before I entered the movie industry, I was on stage. I had played so many stage productions before I went to school in Calabar and read Theatre Arts. So I am used to people.

Speaking about times the embarrassing moments he has experienced, Charles Awurum said:

CHARLES AWURUM: There was a time I was coming back from Onitsha, a girl saw me and she said, ‘Chicken thief’. See am, e go steal fowl. Then they call you all sorts of names. That’s why most of the time; I don’t blame our celebrities who try to shy away from people because it is when somebody greets you and you return the greeting that he or she has the time to tell you what he or she wants to tell you. People can just see you, the next thing they call you, hey! Come, come, see my girlfriend, come do am make she laugh. And it’s not funny because most times, these are people you are much, much older than. Some people are very disrespectful, without thinking twice, they tell you words that will not go down well with you but you just look at the person and go your way.

Speaking about how he deals when fans get too far sometimes, Charles Awurum said:

CHARLES AWURUM: I am a man, whether television or not, we interact with woman and you know women show more love and in showing you love, they can do certain things that would…but you look at them and make sure you don’t make them feel bad. I try not to make anybody feel bad, no matter how you look because I didn’t create myself and you didn’t create yourself. I embrace everybody that comes my way whether man or woman but I know where to draw the line and when it gets to that point, I take myself away from that environment.
