Quotes by Samuel L. Jackson

Im a good son, a good father, a good husband - Ive been married to the same woman for 30 years. Im 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, thats part of history.

All movies arent fun some are hard work. You try to do something and convey a set of emotions that have to do with some real life kind of stuff.

Not everybody goes to movies to get their life changed.

I look at myself as an audience member. I still love movies, and I still go and sit in the back of the big dark room with everybody else, and I want the same thrill.

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.

Im not as angry as I used to be. But I can get in touch with that anger pretty quickly if I feel my space is being invaded or somebody is not treating me with the respect that I think I want.
