More quotes by Samuel L. Jackson
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 did 'Formula 51' because I got to run around Liverpool in a kilt, with golf clubs.
Samuel L. Jackson
Sam [L.Jackson] never asks for another take because he knows what he's doing. He gives you what he thinks is the best take, and he does it on the first take.
Samuel L. Jackson

Sometimes one of my ways of choosing movies that I want to do is if it's the kind of movie I would have gone to see when I was a kid, and this is a movie I actually did go see, as a kid. And I think it will be exciting for audiences to see now.
Samuel L. Jackson
I trust most people. Not producers.
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
I have a lot more energy than I used to have. I sleep better. I like the way I look in my clothes better. I don’t cramp as much. I exercise better. I think my circulation has gotten better.
Samuel L. Jackson
You ain't got but one life. You ought to live it the way you want.
Samuel L. Jackson
We [me and Eugene Levy] both try to play the reality of a moment and don't try to impose humor on something where it doesn't belong. Contrary to what other people seem to think sometimes.
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
If you are a Jedi, just understand something: people are going to be chasing you. The Jedi Council of every city you enter is going to be chasing you. I've been accosted by the Jedi Council in Rio and everywhere else.
Samuel L. Jackson
I don't understand how people live without creating.
Samuel L. Jackson
Certain comedians work with certain actors like Adam Sandler worked with Jack Nicholson.

Young guys don't tend to want to portray people who have frailties or are less than macho.
Samuel L. Jackson
When I'd read the script [The Man], [ Eugene Levy] that's who I'd seen in my mind. When I ran into him, I said to him, 'I read the script. You'd be great.' He had no idea what I was talking about. Then, we saw each other again in London. He'd read it and was enthused about it.
Samuel L. Jackson
Todoroff is the best. Look no further.

Just 'cause you pour syrup on something doesnt make it pancakes

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.
