More quotes by Samuel L. Jackson
I don't understand how people live without creating.
Samuel L. Jackson
Painters get up and paint. Writers get up and write. I like to get up and act. It's not a big deal. It makes me happy.
Samuel L. Jackson
I walk the streets, take the train, it's real simple. Some actors create their own mythology: 'Oh, I'm so famous I can't go places, because I created this mythology that I'm so famous I can't go places.
Samuel L. Jackson
I never had one beer. If I bought a six-pack of beer, I kept drinking till all six beers were gone. You have to have that kind of understanding about yourself. I haven't had a drink now in 12 years.
Samuel L. Jackson
I trust most people. Not producers.

I'm sure there are a lot of Italians who refer to themselves as goombahs and greaseballs and whatever. That's what people do. It gives them a sort of familiarity that other people don't have.
Samuel L. Jackson
I don't get the great story line, action, mystery scripts I get comedies. And relationship comedies are what I do. It's what attracted me to American Pie.
Samuel L. Jackson
I've never been to jail. I've never been arrested. I've never been locked up.
Samuel L. Jackson
It was fun to be in a scene again with [my wife LaTanya Richardson]. We used to do plays together all the time. We hadn't really worked together since Losing Isaiah [1995]. That was kind of early on in both of our cinematic careers. Things have changed a little bit since then.
Samuel L. Jackson
I’ve consequently played a lot of different cops from a lot of different kind of law enforcement agencies.
Samuel L. Jackson
I kind of realize that I have a tendency to choose the kind of films I watched when I was a kid and would go home and pretend with my friends that we were in those movies after we saw them.
Samuel L. Jackson
When you start to talk about comic books, a lot of the time, people forget about the comic part of it. They need to be funny.
Samuel L. Jackson
I understand the rural south because I spent a lot of time in it when I was a kid and my grandfather’s brothers were farmers and I spent time on the farm when I was a kid with them walking through the fields and working and hanging out.
Samuel L. Jackson
Young guys don't tend to want to portray people who have frailties or are less than macho.
Samuel L. Jackson
But Medicine is a demonstrative Science, and all its processes should be proved by established principles, and be based on positive inductions. That the proceedings of Medicine are not of this character, in to be attributed to the manner of its cultivation, and not to the nature of the Science itself.
Samuel L. Jackson
Doing [a relationship comedy] with Sam [L. Jackson] was exciting. I've done a lot of comedies with a lot of comedy people. My peers. I've never worked with anybody of the kind of dramatic caliber of movie actor that Sam is. It was a little bit intimidating for the first day. Or two... Or the first week. Other than that, it was a joy.
Samuel L. Jackson
Any changes that I made to my line, I asked if I could make them, which I do in every movie. So far everybody's been gracious enough to say yes. The only improvising I do is in the movies I do with Chris Guest, which is what we do.
Samuel L. Jackson
I don't run around shooting people. Much. I only shoot two people a year. Maybe.
Samuel L. Jackson
I'm a good son, a good father, a good husband - I've been married to the same woman for 30 years. I'm a good friend. I finished college, I have my education, I donate money anonymously. So when people criticize the kind of characters that I play on screen, I go, 'You know, that's part of history.'
Samuel L. Jackson
