More quotes by Will Smith
I like to look good, but I like my body to function well more than anything. For me, it's as spiritual and intellectual as it is physical. And emotional. I enjoy pushing myself.
Will Smith
There is no pain worse than not achieving a dream when it is your fault. If God did not want you to have it, that is one thing. But if you do not get what you desire because you are lazy, there is no pain worse than that.
Will Smith
Don't ever let someone tell you that you can't do something. You got a dream, you gotta protect it. When people can't do something themselves, they are going to tell you that you can't do it. You want something, go get it. Period.
Will Smith
I think that when I make a film, I'm terrified that people will come to work and work on something that they're not proud of.
Will Smith
The separation of talent and skill is one of the largest misconceptions in modern society. Talent is something you born with, but skill can only be attained through Hours and Hours of hard work perfecting your talent as a craft. Which is why Talent will fail you without skill.
Will Smith
The first eight years of schooling was with all white people. So that helped me to understand how white people think. I think that transition is what helped me bridge the gap, because that's what my success has really been about: bridging the gap between the black community and the white community.
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
There's a forgiveness that literary audiences will give you that film audiences don't give you. It's the two hour construct. You're in there and it needs to climax and finish.
Will Smith
The guy who's willing to hustle the most is gonna be the guy that just gets that loose ball.
Will Smith
If the world attacks and you slide off track, remember one fact, I got your back.
Will Smith
If it was something that I really committed myself to, I don't think there's anything that could stop me becoming President of the United States.
Will Smith
The thing I wanted to focus on first was that I wanted to graduate, and (with me) coming back, I knew that I wanted another national championship. Another national championship is everyone's main goal, but we have to take it one game at a time. We can't get ahead of ourselves. We've got Washington first, then we'll see what happens.
Will Smith
I wake up every morning believing today is going to be better than yesterday.
Will Smith
Life is lived on the edge.
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
Being realistic is the most commonly travelled road to mediocrity. What's the point of being realistic? It's unrealistic to walk into a room, flip a switch, and have light come on, but fortunately Edison didn't think so.
Will Smith
If you're always ready, you don't have to get ready.
Will Smith
I love being black in America, and especially being black in Hollywood.
Will Smith
I think it would be arrogant and borderline foolish to believe there's no other life forms that exist out there.
Will Smith
It's been rough for me trying to find my position in the struggle and where my voice is needed and helpful. You know, I grew up in Philadelphia, and Philadelphia has a really rough police-brutality history. I grew up in a neighborhood where it was very clear that the police were them and we were us.
