Samuel L. Jackson

I actually think I have an audience member’s sensibility about going to the movies.

If you have an opportunity to use your voice you should use it.

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 guess the worst day I have had was when I had to stand up in rehab in front of my wife and daughter and say ‘Hi, my name is Sam and I am an addict.’

I never had one beer. If I bought a six-pack of beer, I kept drinking till all six beers were gone. You have to have that kind of understanding about yourself. I haven’t had a drink now in 12 years.

Long Kiss Goodnight has a huge cult following. They could make another version of that movie right now and make a lot of money.

I’ve been fortunate to be in films that are classic, that are going to be around.

Not everybody goes to movies to get their life changed.
