More quotes by Samuel L. Jackson
Certain comedians work with certain actors like Adam Sandler worked with Jack Nicholson.
Samuel L. Jackson
I used to like watching Helen Mirren's early films, because she was always naked. It's titillating.
Samuel L. Jackson
I tend to play characters that I can infuse with certain kinds of humour. Even the baddest guy can be funny in his own particular way. I want the audience to engage with the character on some deeper level so that they leave the cinema still thinking about him.
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 don't understand how people live without creating.
Samuel L. Jackson
I never did one thing right in my life, you know that? Not one. That takes skill.

But Medicine is a demonstrative Science, and all its processes should be proved by established principles, and be based on positive inductions.

Samuel L. Jackson
I read, watch television, watch movies, hang out with family. I like my clothes and I have great cars, and I drive those. But for most people, it's like, That's boring. You don't club? You don't party?
Samuel L. Jackson
The best advice that was given to me was that I had to be 10 times smarter, braver and more polite to be equal. So I did.
Samuel L. Jackson
Jackson doesn't bother to read the scripts anymore. He just checks to make sure he has one loud scene where he gets to shout, then cashes the paycheck.
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
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've made a way to allow myself to do big films, small films, dramas, comedies, action films, horror films, or whatever interests me, as a movie-goer. I like watching myself in movies. I want to choose movies that allow me to enjoy myself, the way that I want to entertain myself.
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
My ass may be dumb, but I ain't no dumbass.

Those are the rules. To improvise in a movie with other people, when they're following a script, everybody has to know what's going on. I think a line or two we might change. Certainly, I do. But I wouldn't call it improvising. I'd call it fudging the lines.
Samuel L. Jackson
You know me. It's my duty to please that booty.
Samuel L. Jackson
I love coming in for quick pops. You come in. You score. You leave. You're on the golf course. It's great. You don't carry any story.
