QUOTES:
[When asked about his character in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace (1999)] “He’s black.”
[on the subject of his character’s inevitable death in Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith (2005)] “I don’t mind dying, I just don’t wanna go out like some punk.”
People mistake me for Laurence Fishburne all the time. And he always gets mistaken for me. (And why not? We’ve both starred in Spike Lee movies, haven’t we?) Even when we’re standing together, people have called him by my name and me by his. A woman recently ran up to him and said, ‘My daughter loved you in Pulp Fiction (1994)! Could she have your autograph?’ So he signed it, ‘Respectfully yours, Samuel Jackson.’
