More quotes by 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
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 don't necessarily believe in organized religion.
Will Smith

Will Smith
I believe that I can create whatever I want to create. If I can put my head on it right, study it, learn the patterns, and - it's hard to put into words, it's real metaphysical, esoteric nonsense, but I feel very strongly that we are who we choose to be.
Will Smith
I try to connect to human emotion. I'm always looking for something primal, something really base that is beyond language, that people understand beyond language.
Will Smith
Don't let failure go to your heart, and don't let success go to your head.
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
Bouncing in the club where the heat is on, All night on the beach till the break of dawn
Will Smith
Anything can go away. There's no such thing as safety and security. You can do things that give you the illusion of safety and security, but there's really no such thing.
Will Smith
I want to represent possibilities.
Will Smith
10 ways to love: listen, speak, give, pray, answer, share, enjoy, trust, forgive, promise.
Will Smith
I've always considered myself to be just average talent and what I have is a ridiculous insane obsessiveness for practice and preparation.
