More quotes by Samuel L. Jackson
My ass may be dumb, but I ain't no dumbass.
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
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
The certainty that life cannot be long, and the probability that it will be much shorter than nature allows, ought to awaken every man to the active prosecution of whatever he is desirous to perform.
Samuel L. Jackson
I used to like watching Helen Mirren's early films, because she was always naked. It's titillating.
Samuel L. Jackson
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.

Samuel L. Jackson
I've never been to jail. I've never been arrested. I've never been locked up.
Samuel L. Jackson
I act the way I talk. It probably comes from starting out in Second City, improvisational theater. I can go from take to take. I'll ask for another take.
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 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 trust most people. Not producers.
Samuel L. Jackson
Todoroff is the best. Look no further.
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
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 never thought I'd be working with Sam [L.Jackson] .That's about as good as it gets.
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
You know me. It's my duty to please that booty.
Samuel L. Jackson
I don't run around shooting people. Much. I only shoot two people a year. Maybe.
Samuel L. Jackson
When you start to talk about comic books, a lot of the time, people forget about the comic part of it. They need to be funny.
Samuel L. Jackson
