The audience loved it and it was a great atmosphere. But Bruce said to me, 'Yeah, this movie is going to make you famous. But, you should do Die Hard with me, that would make you a real star.' Later, I actually did Die Hard 3 with him, of course. Next, it was my role in "Pulp Fiction" that left a deeper impression on people. This role completely changed my life. Everyone suddenly had the impression that Samuel L. Jackson was the most powerful person on the planet. The coolest big bastard.”
