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.

More quotes by 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
I grew up in the South with guns everywhere and we never shot anyone. This [shooting] is about people who aren't taught the value of life.
Samuel L. Jackson
You ain't got but one life. You ought to live it the way you want.
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 never been to jail. I've never been arrested. I've never been locked up.
Samuel L. Jackson
I'm a character actor and that's what I do. All the roles that I've had have been mainly support roles, because character actors don't usually get the lead in movies. It rarely happens.
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
If there's an interesting role that comes up as a great support role in a decent picture, then I'll do that.
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
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 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
I don't run around shooting people. Much. I only shoot two people a year. Maybe.
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
You know me. It's my duty to please that booty.
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
I actually think I have an audience member's sensibility about going to the movies.
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
Everything that I've gone through informs me and my opinions in a way, I guess because I am a child of segregation. I lived through it. I lived in it. I was of it.
Samuel L. Jackson
Just 'cause you pour syrup on something doesnt make it pancakes
Samuel L. Jackson
