More quotes by Will Smith
The things that have been most valuable to me I did not learn in school. Traditional education is based on facts and figures and passing tests - not on a comprehension of the material and its application to your life.
Will Smith
Greatness exists in all of us.
Will Smith
Don't chase people. Be yourself, do your own thing and work hard
Will Smith
And where I excel is ridiculous, sickening, work ethic. You know, while the other guy's sleeping? I'm working.
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
Smiling is the best way to face every problem, to crush every fear, to hide every pain.
Will Smith
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.
Will Smith
I believe that I can create whatever I want to create. If I can put my head on it right, study it, learn the patterns, and - it's hard to put into words, it's real metaphysical, esoteric nonsense, but I feel very strongly that we are who we choose to be.
Will Smith
Coming from sitcom television and coming from music you burn up every single second. You don't leave anything there. You burn it up and you pass out when you walk off stage, so I took that concept into acting.
Will Smith
I always thought there was some place I was going, that there was some success or some achievement or some box-office number that was going to fill the hole. And what I realize is that life is a hole. It's a process of continually trying to find and reinvent myself.
Will Smith
There is nothing like having to change your physical form to put you in contact with every weak part of yourself, to train yourself in discipline. Put somebody on a treadmill and I'll tell you how good they are at any other thing they do in life.
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
Throughout life people will make you mad, disrespect you and treat you bad. Let God deal with the things they do, cause hate in your heart will consume you too.
Will Smith
I think with movies I am really connecting to the Joseph Campbell idea of the collective unconscious.
Will Smith
I think for me, as a parent, once my children are thoroughly informed, they can make the decisions that they want to make. The only thing that I demand is a complete comprehension [of the information].
Will Smith
Here I stand before you - brown. Color of the mountains Colossal as the earth Wrapped so deliciously within my own joy and misery Feathers of my wings paralyzed by the distance of my mind Here I stand before you, the color of the night Frozen by the potential of me.
Will Smith
The execs don't care what color you are. They care about how much money you make. Hollywood is not really black or white. It's green.
Will Smith
If you're absent during my struggle, don't expect to be present during my success.
Will Smith
Whatever your dream is, every extra penny you have needs to be going to that.
Will Smith
I just think that the gifts that God has given me and the attention that I have, I just don't feel like acting is the limit of it. I just feel like there's so much more that I could do...And, you know, every day I wake up and I try to do a little more and I just want the world to be different and better because I was here.
Will Smith
