Look at what is happening in the United States every day. This reminds me of maga (make america great again). Slogan. In fact, I have always been a fan of maga. Make America strong again, yes, but if you want to do this, you must vote for the Democratic Party." Keitel's inflammatory words won the cheers of a large number of spectators. Voice.

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.”
