Only once in the past decade has my wife taken the cassette from my tape recorder as soon as I finished a phone interview, popped it into her own Walkman, and then listened to the entire conversation, laughing gleefully throughout. That was when I interviewed Samuel L. Jackson, four years ago.

Jackson was exactly as cool as you would hope. (And now my son loves him too; his favorite characters in The Incredibles and “The Clone Wars” are Frozone and Mace Windu.) Unfortunately, the movie he was promoting was the not-so-cool Freedomland, so almost all of this Q&A remained unpublished–until now.
