More quotes by 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
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.
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
Just 'cause you pour syrup on something doesnt make it pancakes
Samuel L. Jackson
When I saw the script [of The Man], I saw the character and knew I could do the character. It's a relationship movie, which is also what I love to do. That's what attracts me to projects.
Samuel L. Jackson
Lifelong readers continue to read, finding in books the means to enjoy life or endure it
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
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
I used to like watching Helen Mirren's early films, because she was always naked. It's titillating.
Samuel L. Jackson
I trust most people. Not producers.
Samuel L. Jackson
I've never considered myself a comedian. I'm a comedic actor.
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
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 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
You ain't got but one life. You ought to live it the way you want.
Samuel L. Jackson
Everybody has to learn that the world works in very specific ways, and you're not in charge of it.
Samuel L. Jackson
Girl, don't make me put my foot in your ass.
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
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 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
