More quotes by Will Smith
There's so much negative imagery of black fatherhood. I've got tons of friends that are doing the right thing by their kids, and doing the right thing as a father - and how come that's not as newsworthy?
Will Smith
Greatness exists in all of us.
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
For me, there is nothing more valuable than how people feel in a movie theater about a movie.
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
My skin is hard when it comes to my music. But with my movies, I'm still a virgin in a lot of ways. I'm not used to being shot down for no reason.
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've trained myself to illuminate the things in my personality that are likable and to hide and protect the things that are less likeable.
Will Smith
Part of being an actor is almost self-hypnosis during those brief moments when the cameras are rolling. You want to actually believe you're Chris Gardner or Muhammad Ali.
Will Smith
The first step is you have to say that you can.
Will Smith
What developed in my early days was the attitude to start attacking the thing I was scared of
Will Smith
Something hurts, lean in. You just lean into that point until it loses its power over you. There's a certain amount of suffering that you have to be willing to sustain if you want to have a good life. And the real trick is to be able to sustain it with your heart open and still be loving.
Will Smith
If you look at somebody like 50 Cent, ain't nobody telling 50 what to do and how to do what he does. He has a vision of who he wants to be, and he instructs everybody along those lines.
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
You'd be surprised how much you don't understand what other people see your actions as how other people view the things you say and the things that you do. And a lot of times just clarifying what your intentions are with people makes a huge difference.
Will Smith
It's great to be black in Hollywood. When a black actor does something, it seems new and different just by virtue of the fact that he's black.
Will Smith
I wake up every morning believing today is going to be better than yesterday.
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
Because I know that hope and fear are connected, I put my mask of hope on.
Will Smith
I refuse to accept anything less than 100% of what I can achieve.
