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.

More quotes by Will Smith
You have to make every group you come in contact with better.
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
Don't let failure go to your heart, and don't let success go to your head.
Will Smith
In black neighborhoods, everybody appreciated comedy about real life. In the white community, fantasy was funnier. I started looking for the jokes that were equally hilarious across the board, for totally different reasons.
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.'

Being realistic is the most commonly travelled road to mediocracy
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
Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn now and again.
Will Smith
I don't know what my calling is, but I want to be here for a bigger reason. I strive to be like the greatest people who have ever lived.
Will Smith
Fear is not real. The only place that fear can exist is in our thoughts of the future. It is a product of our imagination, causing us to fear things that do not at present and may not ever exist. That is near insanity. Do not misunderstand me danger is very real but fear is a choice.
Will Smith
When you're talking to a person, it only matters what they are perceiving. You only need them to perceive you as a loving husband. You don't necessarily need to be one. That's always a good road, if you actually are one. But what people are perceiving will dictate what their life is, and ultimately what your interaction is.
Will Smith
Remember, don't try to build the greatest wall that's ever been built. Focus on laying a single, expertly-placed brick. Then keep doing that, every day.
Will Smith
Human beings are not creatures of logic we are creatures of emotion. And we do not care what's true. We care how it feels.
Will Smith
Don’t compare yourself to others. That’s when you start to lose confidence in yourself.
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
There's a certain delusional quality that all successful people have to have.
Will Smith
There’s a redemptive power that making a choice has rather than feeling like you’re an effect to all the things that are happening. Make a choice. Just decide what it’s gonna be, who you’re gonna be, how you are going to do it. Just decide. And from that point, the universe will get out of your way.
Will Smith
Being realistic is the most commonly travelled road to mediocrity. What's the point of being realistic? It's unrealistic to walk into a room, flip a switch, and have light come on, but fortunately Edison didn't think so.
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
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
