More quotes by Will Smith
I try to speak my points of view about black America, and how I feel about black men and the role that black men should play in their lives with their children and in their lives with their women.
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
I know how to learn anything I want to learn. I absolutely know that I could learn how to fly the space shuttle because someone else knows how to fly it, and they put it in a book. Give me the book, and I do not need somebody to stand up in front of the class.
Will Smith
Sorry, I'm allergic to bullshit.
Will Smith
Just as a person, just in my life, the way I was raised, my grandmother made it very clear that God will make a way.

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 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.

I have no idea what my limits are. I believe that if I set my mind to it, within the next fifteen years, I would be the President of the United States.
Will Smith
When you find things that are tried and true for millennia, you can bet that it's going to happen tomorrow.
Will Smith
If you want somethin', go get it. Period.
Will Smith
We think it hugely important to support young artists, there is a war against that kind of artistry, that kind of creation...When somebody is 19 years old, they're gonna do what they're gonna do just like we did... For me the most important thing was for him to know anytime he can call and I'll come whatever happens.
Will Smith
Summer, summer, summertime time to sit back and unwind.
Will Smith
I want the world to be better because I was here. I want my life, I want my work, my family, I want it to mean something and if you are not making someone else's life better then you are wasting your time.
Will Smith
I can't run away when I'm scared. I always have to attack. That's how I deal with seemingly difficult things.
Will Smith
I'm motivated by fear...a fear of fear. I hate being afraid to do something.
Will Smith
It's better to be prepared than to get ready.
Will Smith
Greatness lives on the edge of destruction
Will Smith
The big thing I tell my kids is you have to control how you label things. It's very important to me they understand the power they have to create the lives that they want.
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'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
