Samuel L. Jackson covers the latest issue on New York Times magazine. Here are some excerpts from the interview.
On movie characters he played before Jules in “Pulp Fiction: “Before Jules… my characters were just ‘The Negro’ who died on Page 30. Every script I read, ‘The Negro’ died on Page 30…. After Jules, I became the coolest [expletive] on the planet. Why? I have no clue. I’m not like Jules. It’s called being an actor.”
On going places without bodyguards: “I walk the streets, take the train, it’s real simple. Some actors create their own mythology.” He assumed a self-pitying voice: “Oh, I’m so famous I can’t go places, because I created this mythology that I’m so famous I can’t go places.”
