->''"I was never going to let the Oscars be a measure of my success or failure as an actor. My yardstick of success is my happiness: Am I satisfied with what I'm doing? I'm not doing statue-chasing movies. You know: 'If you do this movie, you'll win an Oscar.' No, thanks. I'd rather be ComicBook/NickFury. Or having fun being [[Franchise/StarWars Mace Windu]] with a lightsaber in my hand."''
-->-- '''Creator/SamuelLJackson''' in an interview with the [[https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/awards/story/2022-06-14/samuel-l-jackson-ptolemy-grey-oscars-tarantino LA Times]]

->"I always wanted to have the classic career but it drove me crazy. When you hand in great performances in ''Film/Star80'' and ''Film/RunawayTrain'' and [[{{Film/Cocoon}} the Oscar goes to]] Creator/DonAmeche, it kind of bums you out. That's when I called my agent and said, "I'll do anything as long as there’s one good thing about it". It can be a good co-star, a good director, a really great wardrobe. As long as it’s fun, I’ll do it. I started doing two to five movies a year, it’s been a blast, and I’ve seen the world for free."

And then I went in, I think I talked to Mr. David Cronenberg and we, I passionately offered my, you know, why I liked it so much. [[DoingItForTheArt I was never particularly careerist]] anyway; I was, uh, after this, you know, wild-hearted, romantic, art, creative adventure.
