“I never worry about that. If people want to think of me as a role model then they should watch how I live my life. I’ve been married for over 30 years, I graduated from Morehouse College, I am a father who drove in carpools, I love my daughter, I respect my mom, I go to church. If you see me on the screen saying the N-word or four-letter words 50 times that has nothing to do with who I am. I throw myself into my characters the way I throw myself into life. But if you meet me on the street you’ll find out I’m just Sam.”

– Samuel L. Jackson on whether playing bad guys in film projects the wrong image.� He discusses his new movie, Lakeview Terrace, at Parade.com.
