More quotes by Samuel L. Jackson
I sit at home and read books. I watch movies. I watch television. I go and play golf. I don't go to nightclubs. I don't go out to dinner that often. I'm not a big party guy.
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
Girl, don't make me put my foot in your ass.
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
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
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
Lifelong readers continue to read, finding in books the means to enjoy life or endure it
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 just always knew that I lived in two worlds. There was the world of my house and community, but to make my way in that white world I had to modify the way I spoke and acted. I had to sometimes not make direct eye contact.
Samuel L. Jackson
I've never considered myself a comedian. I'm a comedic actor.
Samuel L. Jackson
I never did one thing right in my life, you know that? Not one. That takes skill.
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'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
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
Certain comedians work with certain actors like Adam Sandler worked with Jack Nicholson.
Samuel L. Jackson
My ass may be dumb, but I ain't no dumbass.
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
You ain't got but one life. You ought to live it the way you want.
Samuel L. Jackson
I did 'Formula 51' because I got to run around Liverpool in a kilt, with golf clubs.
Samuel L. Jackson
