More quotes by 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 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.'
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
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
When people want me to sign an autograph in a restaurant, and I'm eating. I don't even have to say no, I just kind of stop and look at them ... Oh, okay. I'll ... I'll come back.
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
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 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
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 used to like watching Helen Mirren's early films, because she was always naked. It's titillating.
Samuel L. Jackson
But Medicine is a demonstrative Science, and all its processes should be proved by established principles, and be based on positive inductions. That the proceedings of Medicine are not of this character, in to be attributed to the manner of its cultivation, and not to the nature of the Science itself.
Samuel L. Jackson
I did 'Formula 51' because I got to run around Liverpool in a kilt, with golf clubs.
Samuel L. Jackson
You know me. It's my duty to please that booty.
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'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'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
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
When I'm not working, I like to play golf.
Samuel L. Jackson
I've never been to jail. I've never been arrested. I've never been locked up.
Samuel L. Jackson
Just 'cause you pour syrup on something doesnt make it pancakes
Samuel L. Jackson
