More quotes by 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
You ain't got but one life. You ought to live it the way you want.
Samuel L. Jackson
You know me. It's my duty to please that booty.
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
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
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
Everybody has to learn that the world works in very specific ways, and you're not in charge of 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
Young guys don't tend to want to portray people who have frailties or are less than macho.
Samuel L. Jackson
When I'm not working, I like to play golf.
Samuel L. Jackson
I never did one thing right in my life, you know that? Not one. That takes skill.
Samuel L. Jackson
I get paid all day, every day, which is almost too much for a sensitive artist.
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
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
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've never considered myself a comedian. I'm a comedic actor.
Samuel L. Jackson
I've made a way to allow myself to do big films, small films, dramas, comedies, action films, horror films, or whatever interests me, as a movie-goer. I like watching myself in movies. I want to choose movies that allow me to enjoy myself, the way that I want to entertain myself.
Samuel L. Jackson
Those are the rules. To improvise in a movie with other people, when they're following a script, everybody has to know what's going on. I think a line or two we might change. Certainly, I do. But I wouldn't call it improvising. I'd call it fudging the lines.
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
Todoroff is the best. Look no further.
