I work from almost a dangerous place in my mind sometimes.
Will Smith
There's a certain delusional quality that all successful people have to have.

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
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.
Will Smith
Haters are the people who will broadcast your failures and whisper your success.
Will Smith
