Kristen Aldridge: Your films have grossed more than any other actor in cinematic history, how does it feel to have that accomplishment?
Samuel L. Jackson: It’s kind of interesting to have that kind of metal. It really means that I’ve been in a couple of films that were really really monster hits, and most of them happen to be named “Star Wars”! That’s great but it means also that a lot of people have seen me work, and that I brought a lot of joy to a lot of people and I really appreciate that as my legacy.
Kristen Aldridge: For your film “Black Snake Moan” you learned how to play guitar?
Samuel L. Jackson: I did! I never actually played guitar before this movie. Every day I was in my trailer for hours, like tearin’ my fingers up. But I had great teachers, and I went to Big Jack Johnson’s house in Mississippi and played with him, which was awesome.
Kristen Aldridge: You’re back as host of the Video Game Awards tonight, can you give us a sneak peak of this year’s awards?
Samuel L. Jackson: (laughing) I’m a little bit older!
Kristen Aldridge: No, you always look great!
Samuel L. Jackson: I’m more used to it, I know the crowd a little bit, things will be a little more exciting. We’ve got a bigger stage, great performers, good presenters, and the games this year are off the hook!
Kristen Aldridge: Who do you think will win for best video game of the year?
Samuel L. Jackson: That’s really tough. Giz Awards seem really hard to beat, although I just played “Guitar Heroes” and I’m kind of digging that game.
