More quotes by 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.

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
There are tons of stories out there. I read a lot of scripts on a weekly basis. I'm looking for stories to tell and stories that I hope will be interesting to an audience.

You ain't got but one life. You ought to live it the way you want.
Samuel L. Jackson
I'm actually very ordinary, except people get to pay their money to come watch me work. The same way that we go to McDonald's.. we don't care about the guy behind the counter, but if he was doing something special, we'd pay our money to go watch him cook that hamburger.
Samuel L. Jackson
Girl, don't make me put my foot in your ass.
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.
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
We've come a long way in our thinking, but also in our moral decay. I can't imagine Dr. King watching the 'Real Housewives' or 'Jersey Shore.'
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
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
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 guess the worst day I have had was when I had to stand up in rehab in front of my wife and daughter and say 'Hi, my name is Sam and I am an addict.'
