00:00 Samuel L Jackson, hello sir.
00:02 Does it ever wear off? I'm guessing not.
00:07 Man, one of the most lucrative, prolific actors you've ever seen.
00:11 Lucrative? What does that mean?
00:12 Lucrative, the amount of money people have made off you.
00:14 Ah, yeah, off me, yeah. Thank God. Somebody finally admits it.
00:18 I read you've got like five different movies on the go right now.
00:21 What's keeping the pep in your step? That's Wikipedia for you.
00:24 Really? I don't know. I enjoy acting, you know.
00:28 It's one of those jobs, like I told my daughter, you know,
00:31 pick something that you want to get up and do every day and it's perfect.
00:35 It's something I love to do and I love to hang out on film sets.
00:38 Obviously we saw you in Kingsman and then in this,
00:40 it seems like these kind of film sets are particularly fun for an actor to be on.
00:44 Well, Matthew, you know, Matthew has a knack for making fun movies.
00:48 I remember, you know, when he was talking to me about Kingsman,
00:50 the first thing he showed me was that church fight scene.
00:53 I was like, oh yeah, I'm in this. Yeah, for real.
00:56 So it's that simple. He makes great, yeah, great set pieces.
01:00 He tells great stories and he's a wonderful filmmaker.
01:03 Well, we're looking forward to seeing some more great stories told by you, sir.
01:05 Have a great evening. Enjoy yourself. I'm looking forward to it.
01:07 And we'll see you on the next one. Thank you very much.
