Will Smith
I read a Bruce Lee quote that shifted how I'm trying to live my life right now. He said, Some targets are only meant to be aimed at. Right? And I took that to mean a shift for myself from goal orientation to path orientation.
Will Smith
The things that have been most valuable to me I did not learn in school. Traditional education is based on facts and figures and passing tests - not on a comprehension of the material and its application to your life.

Will Smith
Black people playing tennis, next white people will be tap dancing!
Will Smith
I believe that my connection, to my higher power, is separate from everybody’s. I don’t believe that the Muslims have all the answers. I don’t believe the Christians have all the answer, or the Jews have all the answers...
Will Smith
There’s nothing you’ve ever been successful at that you didn’t work on every day.
Will Smith
I consider myself an alchemist. An alchemist is basically a mystical chemist, right? And one of the great feats that alchemists used to do is they would take lead - just take a chunk of lead - and they could turn lead into gold.
Will Smith
So if you stay ready, you ain't gotta get ready, and that is how I run my life.
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
The first time that I performed as an actor was the first day on the set of 'The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.'
Will Smith
Sorry, I'm allergic to bullshit.
Will Smith
You play a part in every aspect of your life going the way you want or not going the way that you want. It has very little to do with other people.
Will Smith
Being famous is such a gift for me because small things make people's lives brighter. You just shake somebody's hand. You just smile and write your name and people will talk about it for the rest of their lives.
Will Smith
