More quotes by Will Smith
There are so many people who have lived and died before you. You will never have a new problem you're not going to ever have a new problem. Somebody wrote the answer down in a book somewhere.
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
Give me about 10 years, I'm going to run for President. If I can squeeze in an NBA championship before that, I'll do it.
Will Smith
My biggest emotional defeat and the greatest emotional pain I've had as an actor was when Wild Wild West opened up to $52 million. The movie wasn't good. And it hurt so bad to be the No. 1 movie - to open at $52 million - and to know the movie wasn't good.
Will Smith
So if you stay ready, you ain't gotta get ready, and that is how I run my life.
Will Smith
I think with movies I am really connecting to the Joseph Campbell idea of the collective unconscious.
Will Smith
I know who I am, I know what I believe, that's all I need to know. From there, you do what you need to do.

Gettin' jiggy wit it is, like, the next level of cool. It's cool to the eighth power. Some people are fly, some people are kind of hot. But when you are the jiggiest, when you exude jiggy-essence, it's the acme of cool.
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 can't run away when I'm scared. I always have to attack. That's how I deal with seemingly difficult things.
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'm motivated by fear. Fear of fear. I hate being scared to do something. And I think what developed in my early days was the attitude that I started attacking things that I was scared of.
Will Smith
You be as truthful as you can to a specific situation, and it will become universal.
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
When you create art, the world has to wait.
Will Smith
My grandmother used to always say, 'People need to be worth something.'
Will Smith
The game cannot be won, only played.
Will Smith
I met my father for the first time when I was 28 years old. I made up my mind that when I had children, my children were going to know who their father was.

Sorry, I'm allergic to bullshit.

The keys to life are running and reading.
