More quotes by Jada Pinkett Smith
I just think, as women, we have to give ourselves room to be individuals. So when a woman makes a decision for herself, we as women shouldn't set those hardcore boundaries for another woman. Just like we don't want men setting hardcore boundaries for us.
Jada Pinkett Smith
I do a lot of reading, meditating, and praying to stay as grounded as I can be in this crazy world.
Jada Pinkett Smith
I feel that when a child has self-worth and purpose, that's what keeps them grounded.
Jada Pinkett Smith
That to me is happiness when I feel like I am loved and I have a place to love deeply. That to me is happiness.
Jada Pinkett Smith
I try my best to confront situations because I know, at the end of the day, you can deal with it or it will deal with you. I've had enough experience to know that that's how it goes down. There's no going around it.
Jada Pinkett Smith
The love of a child is different from any other type of love on the planet. And being loved by your children is a love that is immense. I'm always so overwhelmed by how much my children love me. I think the best part of being a parent is feeling the love of a child.
Jada Pinkett Smith
I've always been a caretaker I think a lot of women are. We take care of everybody else first, and very rarely do we think about ourselves.
Jada Pinkett Smith
Love is what sometimes holds us and binds us when we’re not so happy.
Jada Pinkett Smith
Just don't pollute something that's not dirty. I want my kids to be happy and I want them to be themselves. I was saying to a friend the other day, 'Remember, our kids are not us.' They're not. Sometimes we're trying to fix things that happened to us or projecting [onto them], and that's a terrible, terrible trap.
Jada Pinkett Smith
I've always told Will, 'You can do whatever you want as long as you can look at yourself in the mirror and be okay.' Because at the end of the day, Will is his own man. I'm here as his partner, but he is his own man. He has to decide who he wants to be, and that's not for me to do for him. Or vice versa.
Jada Pinkett Smith
I have been affected by gossip and I know people who have been, too. I've seen marriages destroyed by gossip. It is cruel. At the end of the day, all that matters is: Do you love what you see when you look in the mirror? That is it, baby.
Jada Pinkett Smith
I'm not one about trying to slow things down. What I try to do is create an atmosphere for my family where we can pretty much have whatever.
Jada Pinkett Smith
Oh, I laugh hard every day. I mean, my husband is Will Smith! I'm telling you, that's one of the joys of being married to him. My life full of laughter. Thank God I have him. My life is full of laughter because of that man.
Jada Pinkett Smith
If I had my way, I'd wear jewelry, a great pair of heels and nothing else.
Jada Pinkett Smith
How can we ask for our young stars to have a high level of responsibility if we are not demonstrating that same level of responsibility towards them?
Jada Pinkett Smith
The commitment. I think that's the key quality of all successful people. You just have to keep at it. People who enjoy sustained success understand the fact that you have to remain very committed to whatever it is you're doing, especially in this instant-gratification culture.
Jada Pinkett Smith
I don't really cook much. I'm more of a baker. My favorite things to bake that everybody loves, and I can only keep in the house for about ten minutes, are 7-Up cake and Pineapple Upside-Down cake.
Jada Pinkett Smith
I love religion and have contemplated going back to school to get a world religion degree.
Jada Pinkett Smith
I'm extremely ambitious. I don't know why people are afraid to say that. I won't sell my soul to the devil, but I do want success and I don't think that's bad.
Jada Pinkett Smith
When my husband of almost 20 years can't take his eyes off me? That's amazing.
Jada Pinkett Smith
