Quote

Being famous is such a gift for me because small things make people's lives brighter. You just shake somebody's hand. You just smile and write your name and people will talk about it for the rest of their lives.

The way I like to measure greatness is... How many people can you make want to be better?

The greatest experience I've ever had in a movie theater was watching Star Wars. It shaped how I look at the world. My imagination was so small before I went in that theater and there was an explosion in my head. I just couldn't figure out how someone came up with it.

I know how to learn anything I want to learn. I absolutely know that I could learn how to fly the space shuttle because someone else knows how to fly it, and they put it in a book. Give me the book, and I do not need somebody to stand up in front of the class.

I can't run away when I'm scared. I always have to attack. That's how I deal with seemingly difficult things.

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.

Greatness is not this, wonderful, esoteric, elusive, god-like feature that only the special among us will ever taste. You know? It's something that truly exists, in, all of us. It's very simple, this is what I believe, and, I'm willing to die for it. Period. It's that simple.

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.

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

For me, there is nothing more valuable than how people feel in a movie theater about a movie.
Will Smith
Image
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
Image
I've always considered myself to be just average talent and what I have is a ridiculous insane obsessiveness for practice and preparation.
Will Smith
Image
If you stay ready, you don't have to get ready.
Will Smith
Image
Begging for acknowledgment, or even asking, diminishes dignity and diminishes power.

Well, all I know is what I read in the papers.

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.
