I never thought I'd be working with Sam [L.Jackson] .That's about as good as it gets.
Samuel L. JacksonEverybody likes an extraordinary person or likes to think that they would be great with a superpower in an ordinary world.
Samuel L. JacksonI used to like watching Helen Mirren's early films, because she was always naked. It's titillating.
Samuel L. JacksonI run into a lot of kids who are either on R&R, or on their way to Iraq. They all know who I am and are fans, but they're kids! I am yet to meet one that's over 23. Yet they're full-time warriors.
Samuel L. JacksonWe both [me and Eugene Levy] come from the same place. Eugene did most of his work in SCTV and ensemble situations. I'd done all this theater work before I got into movies and ensemble situations. We both learned how to develop characters and interact with other people in a unique and economic sort of way.
Samuel L. JacksonQuentin Tarantino was talking about Ordell a little bit, and I was like, "I'm sure Ordell is one of those people who thought Superfly was the greatest movie ever made." So he cuts his hair and straightens it, but he never has enough money to maintain it perfectly. So it's kind of nappy around the edges, straight and kind of puffed up. That's why he'd always keep it in a ponytail or a braid. We were just having fun and creating a distinctive character.
