Samuel L. Jackon reveals how he selects movie roles in a new interview with
the Los Angeles Times. The acclaimed actor prioritizes scripts he enjoys versuswork that may add awards and honors to his resume.

近日山謬傑克森在接受洛杉磯時報訪問時，談到他是如何選擇電影角色的。
他表示現在的他會優先考慮挑選喜歡的劇本，而非一味地追求得獎電影。

“Maybe a little bit. As jaded as I wanted to be about it, you know thinking,
‘Well, I should have won an Oscar for this or should have won for that and itdidn’t happen,’ once I got over it many years ago, it wasn’t a big deal for
me. I always have fun going to the Oscars. I always look forward to getting agift basket for being a presenter. [Laughs] I give stuff to my relatives; my
daughter and my wife would take stuff out. It’s cool,” the veteran actor
explained when asked about the emotional moment he was presented an honorary
Oscar by Denzel Washington.

山謬傑克森表示：

「儘管對此感到厭煩，但有時我會想『好吧，我應該因為這部片拿下奧斯卡，或是我
應該因為那部電影拿下奧斯卡，但最後都沒有發生』直到多年前我克服了這心魔，
這事對我來說再也沒啥大不了的。

我現在每次參加奧斯卡典禮都很開心，擔任頒獎人能獲得禮物，我將禮物分送給親戚， 拿給老婆及小孩，他們在我面前將禮物拆開，這很酷。」

“But otherwise, I was past it. 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 [whispers]: ‘If you do this movie, you’ll win an Oscar.’
No, thanks. I’d rather be Nick Fury. Or having fun being Mace Windu with a
lightsaber in my hand.”

被問到對於今年奧斯卡從丹佐華盛頓手中接過奧斯卡終身成就獎是什麼感覺？

「除此之外，我釋懷了。我不會將奧斯卡當作衡量我作為一名演員是否成功的標準，
我的成功來自於快樂。我是否滿意自己正在做的事？我不是為了得獎才拍電影的。

如果有人跟我說『你拍那部電影會得奧斯卡獎喔！』

不了，感謝厚愛，我還寧可成為尼克福瑞，或是扮演手裡拿著光劍揮舞的雲度大師。」

He continued, saying how he has no regrets in making decisions on which rolesto accept and which ones to pass on.

“No,” Jackson answered. “I want to do the stuff that made me want to go to
the movies when I was a kid. I want to do that movie that people just want tosee so they can get out of themselves. That’s the guy I chose to be and I’m
fine with it. I’m satisfied because that’s who I am. I’m the guy who does
the lines that people see on T-shirts. There’s actors who go their whole
careers and no one can quote a line they’ve said in a movie. People go to
watch my movies to see how crazy I’m going to be or see how many times I say
motherfu**er. [laughs] Whatever gets them in the seats.”

山謬傑克森繼續說道：

「我想演出當我還是小孩時就會想看的電影，我想做出人們喜歡的電影，
這樣他們就能暫時擺脫自己，我想選擇成為那樣的人。對此我很滿意，因為這就是我。

我是那種台詞會被印在T恤上的演員。
有些人整個演員生涯甚至沒一句電影台詞可以被記得。
觀眾去看我的電影是想見識我有多瘋狂，或者想聽我說了多少次"馬惹法克"，
只要能讓他們乖乖坐著就行。」
