WE'RE HERE WITH THE GREAT SAMUEL L. JACKSON.
I'M A BIG FAN, AS I THINK EVERYBODY HERE IS, OF SAMUEL L.
JACKSON.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT MAKES YOU SUCH AN ENGAGING ACTOR IS THAT
YOU'RE CLEARLY A DEEPLY INTELLIGENT PERSON.
DO YOU THINK OF YOURSELF AS A DEEP PERSON?
>> YEAH-- I DABBLE IN DEEPNESS.
>> Stephen: I CONSIDER MYSELF A DEEP PERSON, AND I LIKE TO
TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLORE SOME OF THE MYSTERIES OF HUMAN
EXISTENCE IN A SEGMENT I CALL "BIG QUESTIONS WITH EVEN BIGGER
STARS!" ( APPLAUSE )
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: WHAT A BEAUTIFUL
NIGHT.
>> IT'S AWESOME.
>> Stephen: YEAH.
HEY, SAMUEL L. JACKSON?
>> YES, STEPHEN?
>> Stephen: DO YOU HAVE A NICKNAME?
>> YES, MY FRIENDS CALL ME ACTION JACKSON, BUT YOU CAN CALL
ME, SAMUEL L. JACKSON.
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: SAMUEL L. JACKSON,
DO YOU THINK GOD COULD MAKE A ROCK SO BIG EVEN HE COULDN'T
LIFT IT?
>> OF COURSE.
THAT'S WHERE AUSTRALIA CAME FROM.
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: I HEARD THAT,
YEAH.
STEPHEN?
IF YOU WERE STRANDED ON A DESERT ISLAND, WHAT FAMOUS
PERSON WOULD YOU WANT TO HAVE WITH YOU?
>> Stephen: I GUESS WHICHEVER CELEBRITY IS MOST SHAPED LIKE A
BOAT.
( LAUGHTER ) HEY, SAMUEL L. JACKSON, I'VE
ALWAYS WANTED TO ASK YOU THIS, WHAT'S IN YOUR WALLET
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> A WHOLE LOT OF MONEY.
( LAUGHTER ) ( APPLAUSE )
>> STEVE-O.
>> YEAH, SAM?
>> DO YOU THINK THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIVING
AND JUST BEING ALIVE?
>> Stephen: OF COURSE.
WHO WOULD BUY A MAGAZINE CALLED "MARTHA STEWART JUST BEING
ALIVE?" HEY, SAMUEL L. JACKSON, IF A
MOTORCYCLE'S COOLER THAN A DOESN'T THAT MEAN A UNICYCLE IS
COOLER THAN A TRICYCLE?
>> I TOLD YOU, STEPHEN, I'M NOT BUYING YOUR ( BLEEP ) UNICYCLE.
( LAUGHTER ) ( APPLAUSE )
>> Stephen: HEY, SAM, DO YOU BELIEVE MAN IS BURDENED WITH
ORIGINAL SIN BECAUSE ADAM AND EVE GAVE IN TO SATAN'S
TEMPTATION IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN?
>> YES, I DO.
AND I HAVE HAD IT WITH THAT (BLEEP) SNAKE IN THAT (BLEEP)
GARDEN!
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> STEPHEN.
>> Stephen: YES, SAM?
>> DO YOU HAVE ANY REGRETS?
>> Stephen: OH, ABSOLUTELY.
WAIT, I WISHED I'D SAID "NO."
( LAUGHTER ) HEY, SAMUEL L. JACKSON, DO YOU
THINK IT'S OKAY TO TELL A HARMLESS LIE TO SPARE SOMEONE'S
FEELINGS?
>> THAT IS A REALLY, REALLY SMART QUESTION, STEPHEN.
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: THANKS.
( APPLAUSE ) HEY, SAM L. JACK?
YOU HAVE BEEN IN 165 MOVIES.
WHAT PART WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?
>> MY BLEEP.
BUT I'D SETTLE FOR ""MACE WINDU"."
>> Stephen: I'VE NEVER SEEN ( BLEEP ) BUT I'VE READ SOME
GREAT REVIEWS.
( APPLAUSE ) SAM, SAM, WHAT DO YOU THINK
PEOPLE WILL SAY AT YOUR FUNERAL?
>> I ASSUME THEY'LL BE SAYING "WOW, I'VE NEVER SEEN YANKEE
STADIUM SO PACKED."
( LAUGHTER ) STEPHEN?
WHY ARE WE HERE?
WHAT IS OUR PURPOSE?
>> Stephen: WELL, I GUESS IT'S HARD TO SAY.
BUT I'D LIKE TO BELIEVE THAT WE'RE HERE TO LOVE ONE
ANOTHER AND, ABOVE ALL, TO PROMOTE "THE LEGEND OF TARZAN"
OPENING THIS FRIDAY.
SAMUEL L. JACKSON, EVERYBODY!
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH JULIE.
