JACKSON: 'I'M DONE WITH DRUGS'

PULP FICTION star SAMUEL L JACKSON finds it easy to stay away from his past drug demons - because he's convinced himself that drug abuse equals extreme poverty.

The movie star admits he had nothing when he was a junkie and when he quit, his career took off with a part where he played a druggie in SPIKE LEE's JUNGLE FEVER.

He says, "As soon as I stopped and did Jungle Fever as my first thing after I got clean, I started coming to lunch in Hollywood.

"In my mind, if I do any of that s**t again, I'll go right back to what I was before, which is penniless, crazy, nasty, stinking and out of my mind.

"So it's easier for me to be this than it was to be that.

"I don't miss drugs. I used to have drug dreams all the time, but I haven't had one for years."
