I'm As Serious As A Heart Attack.

What I Remember From [the First Meeting With Samuel L. Jackson] Was That He Was A Friendly, Animated Kind Of Guy. His Screen Image Is A Hard Boiled Intimidating Kind Of Character. That's What I Remembered Thinking, 'boy, This Guy Seems Like A Normal Guy.'

I Love To Play Real People... Good People That I Know The Audience Will Get Behind. It's The Good People In The World That I Gravitate To.

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.

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.

If You Go Into A Comic Book Store, There Are Tons Of Star Wars Stories On The Stand. There Are Lots Of Different Stories To Tell. Maybe George [lucas] Won't Tell Them. Maybe Some Kid, Who's A Star Wars Fan That's Planning To Go To Film School, Will Call Lucas And Say, 'i'd Like To Make A Star Wars Film.' Then, They'll Make One.
