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.

More quotes by Will Smith
Whatever you have is gonna die and you are gonna have to rebirth something new. You have to be willing to ride the waves.
Will Smith
I've always been attracted to characters with insurmountable odds and obstacles, because innately, however inarticulately I've always believed that my dreams and my desires can command and bend time and space to be the things that I want them to be.
Will Smith
Something hurts, lean in. You just lean into that point until it loses its power over you. There's a certain amount of suffering that you have to be willing to sustain if you want to have a good life. And the real trick is to be able to sustain it with your heart open and still be loving.
Will Smith
I’m a student of patterns. At heart, I’m a physicist. I look at everything in my life as trying to find the single equation, the theory of everything.
Will Smith
Never lie to people, because the people you are able to lie to, are the people who trust you.
Will Smith
I love producing. I am loving doing that. I think that is my most natural space in the business. I just love producing or editing and that's where I thrive.
Will Smith
You might be [outshining me in many ways]. But if we get on a treadmill, there are two things: you're getting off first or I'm going to die. It's that simple, right?
Will Smith
In my mind, I've always been an A-list Hollywood superstar. Y'all just didn't know yet.
Will Smith
It's been rough for me trying to find my position in the struggle and where my voice is needed and helpful. You know, I grew up in Philadelphia, and Philadelphia has a really rough police-brutality history. I grew up in a neighborhood where it was very clear that the police were them and we were us.
Will Smith
If you learn how to defeat that person when you're running. You will know how to not quit when things get hard in your life.
Will Smith
You’ll never achieve 100 percent if 99 percent is okay.
Will Smith
I feel like I could run for President. People often laugh, but if I set my mind to it, within the next 15 years I could be in the White House.
Will Smith
There's a certain delusional quality that all successful people have to have. You have to believe that something different than what has happened for the last 50 million years of history - you have to believe that something different can happen.
Will Smith
The first step is you have to say that you can.
Will Smith
I'm profoundly changed. There's a bittersweet emotion that I feel from playing this role. . . . I want the world to be different because I was here. However lofty or crazy or delusional that may sound, I want people's lives to be better because I was here.
Will Smith
Our whole dream for our home was for it to be an artist's haven. So there are paint supplies there's a piano with a microphone and a recorder right there to capture things right in the second. There's editing equipment. There are cameras. I think the only thing in our house that people would be surprised by is the efficiency.
Will Smith
Life is lived on the edge.
Will Smith
Don't chase people. Be yourself, do your own thing and work hard. The right people - the ones who really belong in your life - will come to you. And Stay.
Will Smith
You play a part in every aspect of your life going the way you want or not going the way that you want. It has very little to do with other people.
Will Smith
I had to focus and create a character in Bagger Vance, not just do my 'Will Smith' thing and get paid.
