More quotes by Will Smith
I don't want to be an icon. I want to be an idea. I want to represent possibilities.
Will Smith
As a child, I watched 'Dallas' and that was my vision for my life for as long as I could remember.
Will Smith
You can't break poor people mentality. Once you grow up poor, you don't take anything for granted. It can have the negative side also because you can never truly be relaxed.
Will Smith
I believe you need to be educated about what you want to do in life, but I don't believe you actually need college to get you there.
Will Smith
Being realistic is the most commonly traveled road to mediocrity. Why would you be realistic? What's the point of being realistic? I'm going to do it. It's done. It's already done. The second I decide it's done, it's already done.
Will Smith
You can cry, ain't no shame in it.
Will Smith
I control every interaction with every human being I'm with. I can actually manage any situation with 98 percent of the people on Earth.
Will Smith
You might have more talent than me, you might be smarter than me, you might be sexier than me, you might be all of those things you got it on me in nine categories. But if we get on the treadmill together, there are two things: You're getting off first, or I'm going to die. It's really that simple, right?
Will Smith
I love being black in America, and especially being black in Hollywood.
Will Smith
I work from almost a dangerous place in my mind sometimes.
Will Smith
The person that works the hardest wins.
Will Smith
For me and my storytelling and the way that I embrace stories in the way that I embrace characters, I desperately needed to know that everything was okay.
Will Smith
The things that have been most valuable to me I did not learn in school.
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
I've always been the goofy kid. Growing up, I always enjoyed the comedic aspect of relating to women. Even on camera, it was always the funny take on it.
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
A rapper is about being completely true to yourself. Being an actor is about changing who you are.
Will Smith
I'm profoundly changed. There's a bittersweet emotion that I feel from playing this role. . . . I want the world to be different because I was here. However lofty or crazy or delusional that may sound, I want people's lives to be better because I was here.
Will Smith
I wake up every morning believing today is going to be better than yesterday.
Will Smith
I'm motivated by fear. Fear of fear. I hate being scared to do something. And I think what developed in my early days was the attitude that I started attacking things that I was scared of.
