Samuel L. Jackson says Quentin Tarantino originally didn’t want to tell him he wasn’t playing Django.
“He sent me the script without telling me I wasn’t going to be Django.”
“He just said, ‘Read it. The character is Stephen.’”
“I called him back and said, ‘So you want me to play the most despicable Black man in the history of cinema?’”
“He said, ‘Well… yeah.’”
“I told him, ‘Okay, let’s do it.’”
“He actually toned Stephen down because he said, ‘I don’t want anybody to kill you.’”
“People call Quentin racist because of his scripts.”
“But every character he’s written for me has been intelligent, respected, and in control.”
“It would be impossible for a racist to consistently write characters like that for me.”
If you’re having a bad day just remember that there’s humans amongst us who genuinely think Cristiano Ronaldo is better than Lionel Messi. You’re doing just fine ❤️
🚨🚨BREAKING: GARETH BALE:
“There was one moment in football that completely shifted my perspective on rivalry. I was dealing with a recurring muscle problem that haunted my whole career, when I got a surprise message from Real Madrid’s fitness trainer.
He told me, ‘Leo heard about your injury and wants to help you out.’ 💙
Next thing I knew, I was getting a direct call from Messi’s own doctor. He gave me a recovery plan that had worked for him, plus the exact rehab drills Messi followed in 2013 🩺📋.
He also pointed me to a top sports clinic in Barcelona where elite players go. 🏥🇪🇸.”
“That experience showed me professionalism isn’t about club colors or badges 🤝. Real greatness is what you give to others, even if they’re your opponents. Messi is a person first, legend second 🐐❤️.
When most people treat El Clásico like a battle, Messi reminded everyone that football is about more than goals — it’s about heart and respect 🌍✨”
I have missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games.
26 times I have been trusted to take the game's winning shot and missed.
I have failed over and over and over again in my life, and that is why I succeed.
