More quotes by Will Smith
You can't win enough, you can't have enough money, you can't succeed enough. There is not enough. The only thing that will ever satiate that existential thirst is love. And I just remember that day I made the shift from wanting to be a winner to wanting to have the most powerful, deep, and beautiful relationships I could possibly have.
Will Smith
I love being black in America, and especially being black in Hollywood.
Will Smith
If anybody can find someone to love them and to help them through this difficult thing that we call life, I support that in any shape or form.
Will Smith
Even Hitler didn't wake up going, 'Let me do the most evil thing I can do today.' I think he woke up in the morning and using a twisted, backwards logic, he set out to do what he thought was 'good.'
Will Smith
You've got to run your career. What happens is a lot of times artists have this talent and they're just looking for somebody to take it and do something with it. And you have to be the creative force.
Will Smith
You can create whatever you want. You just have to know what you want and take the opportunities as they come your way. We are who we choose to be.
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
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 read a Bruce Lee quote that shifted how I'm trying to live my life right now. He said, Some targets are only meant to be aimed at. Right? And I took that to mean a shift for myself from goal orientation to path orientation.
Will Smith
Reading... there have been millions and billions and billions and gazillions of people that have lived before all of us. There's no new problem you could have - with your parents, with school, with a bully, with anything. There's no problem you can have that someone hasn't already solved and wrote about it in a book.
Will Smith
I want to represent the idea that you really can make what you want I believe I can create whatever I want to create.
Will Smith
I keep going because I doubt myself. It drives me to be better. I've learned that the mastery of self-doubt is the key to success. It's like being animated by the love of a woman - the need to be worthy of her.
Will Smith
I was raised in a Baptist household, went to a Catholic church, lived in a Jewish neighborhood, and had the biggest crush on the Muslim girls from one neighborhood over.
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
So if you stay ready, you ain't gotta get ready, and that is how I run my life.
Will Smith
Don't let failure go to your heart, and don't let success go to your head.
Will Smith
Money and success don't change people they merely amplify what is already there.
Will Smith
To me, it's science fiction for me to do the things I've been blessed to do in this industry.
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
Goofy was the word that was used most often by my sisters because I've been this tall ever since I was 12 years old.
