People mistake me for Laurence Fishburne all the time. And healways gets mistaken for me. (And why not? We've both starred inSpike Lee movies, haven't we?) Even when we're standingtogether, people have called him by my name and me by his. A womanrecently ran up to him and said, 'My daughter loved you inPulp Fiction (1994)! Could she have your autograph?' So hesigned it, 'Respectfully yours, Samuel Jackson.'
To be frank, I am as passionate about golf as I am about acting. I veryseldom get angry at golf. The year I started golf I had a caddie andone day I did get angry with myself and threw a club. My caddie toldme, 'You're not good enough to get mad'. I have never thrown a clubsince. I enjoy my golf, it does not matter whether I play great orbadly. I let it go.
I've played Loch Lomond - that's the one with the bogs isn't it? Iplayed the one with the lighthouse. When we were in Liverpool we usedto take the ferry and go to Northern Ireland. Films get in the way ofmy golf, but they have afforded me the chance to play a lot of golf.
