More quotes by Will Smith
I’m a student of patterns. At heart, I’m a physicist. I look at everything in my life as trying to find the single equation, the theory of everything.
Will Smith
Those who say I can, and those who say I can't - are both usually right
Will Smith
In my mind, I've always been an A-list Hollywood superstar. Y'all just didn't know yet.
Will Smith
Part of being an actor is almost self-hypnosis during those brief moments when the cameras are rolling. You want to actually believe you're Chris Gardner or Muhammad Ali.
Will Smith
Black people playing tennis, next white people will be tap dancing!
Will Smith
A sad thing in life is that sometimes you meet someone who means a lot to you, only to find out in the end it was never bound to be, and you just have to let go.
Will Smith
It's great to be black in Hollywood. When a black actor does something, it seems new and different just by virtue of the fact that he's black.
Will Smith
There ain't no problem that some other dude didn't have 1,000 years ago.
Will Smith
I don't want to be an icon. I want to be an idea. I want to represent possibilities.
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 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
I think with movies I am really connecting to the Joseph Campbell idea of the collective unconscious.
Will Smith
I've trained myself to illuminate the things in my personality that are likable and to hide and protect the things that are less likeable.
Will Smith
I just think that the gifts that God has given me and the attention that I have, I just don't feel like acting is the limit of it. I just feel like there's so much more that I could do...And, you know, every day I wake up and I try to do a little more and I just want the world to be different and better because I was here.
Will Smith
Remember, don't try to build the greatest wall that's ever been built. Focus on laying a single, expertly-placed brick. Then keep doing that, every day.
Will Smith
The Bible talks about your spirit being immortal, that you were created for existence beyond your physical body. Well, that's no different from Scientology! I don't think that because the word someone uses for spirit is thetan that the definition becomes any different.
Will Smith
I've always been a jokester. The things I got in trouble for, when I was little, was always about making a joke or setting up a prank or being silly when I should be paying attention.
Will Smith
You'd be surprised how much you don't understand what other people see your actions as how other people view the things you say and the things that you do. And a lot of times just clarifying what your intentions are with people makes a huge difference.
Will Smith
I've always been attracted to characters with insurmountable odds and obstacles, because innately, however inarticulately I've always believed that my dreams and my desires can command and bend time and space to be the things that I want them to be.
Will Smith
There is nothing like having to change your physical form to put you in contact with every weak part of yourself, to train yourself in discipline. Put somebody on a treadmill and I'll tell you how good they are at any other thing they do in life.
Will Smith
