More From 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."
- "I hope Obama gets scary in the next four years, ‘cuz he ain’t gotta worry about getting re-elected."
- "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.’"
