I was reading an interview with Samuel L. Jackson once and he said that he says "Yes" to pretty much everything. I've seen his name on some direct-to-video stinkers over the years and was wondering why he, of all people, would sign on to shit like that? He said a similar thing in the interview, that before he finally made it big, there were many days where the phone didn't ring and he never forgot it, and doesn't take for granted that it won't happen again.
