More quotes by Will Smith
There's so much negative imagery of black fatherhood. I've got tons of friends that are doing the right thing by their kids, and doing the right thing as a father - and how come that's not as newsworthy?
Will Smith
Something hurts, lean in. You just lean into that point until it loses its power over you. There's a certain amount of suffering that you have to be willing to sustain if you want to have a good life. And the real trick is to be able to sustain it with your heart open and still be loving.
Will Smith
The greatest dreams are always unrealistic.
Will Smith
I want to take care of people. I want to help people. The maximum joy that I have is when I can create something that makes someone else's life lighter, brighter, or better.
Will Smith
I work from almost a dangerous place in my mind sometimes.
Will Smith
I truly believe that I can be president of the US if I really want to.
Will Smith
The value of a story isn't that it just has a narcotic effect. It's that it awakens something in you that makes you want to think, that makes you talk to other people, that stirs something that makes you examine the story that eventually turns into self-examination.
Will Smith
Don't chase people. Be yourself, do your own thing and work hard. The right people - the ones who really belong in your life - will come to you. And Stay.
Will Smith
I was trying so hard. I would memorize the entire script, then I'd be lipping everybody's lines while they were talking. When I watch those episodes, it's disgusting. My performances were horrible.
Will Smith
Just because the kid's cute, doesn't mean you're not the father.
Will Smith
So to really be able to dive into what does it mean to be broken by an experience, and I developed it just through research and talking and understanding the truth of what it means to lose everything.
Will Smith
Don't let failure go to your heart, and don't let success go to your head.
Will Smith
In my mind, I've always been an A-list Hollywood superstar. Y'all just didn't know yet.
Will Smith
There’s a redemptive power that making a choice has rather than feeling like you’re an effect to all the things that are happening. Make a choice. Just decide what it’s gonna be, who you’re gonna be, how you are going to do it. Just decide. And from that point, the universe will get out of your way.
Will Smith
I think for me, as a parent, once my children are thoroughly informed, they can make the decisions that they want to make. The only thing that I demand is a complete comprehension [of the information].
Will Smith
Whatever you have is gonna die and you are gonna have to rebirth something new. You have to be willing to ride the waves.
Will Smith
Sorry, I'm allergic to bullshit.
Will Smith
I think that my sensibilities are becoming slightly less delicate and I'm venturing out in a storytelling world.
Will Smith
Tommy Lee Jones is hilarious. I would say, if you look at the body of his work, the character he is most like is the one in 'The Fugitive.' That's how he talks and jokes. That is the type of energy he has.
Will Smith
Those who say I can, and those who say I can't - are both usually right
