If you look at somebody like 50 Cent, ain't nobody telling 50 what to do and how to do what he does. He has a vision of who he wants to be, and he instructs everybody along those lines.

More quotes by Will Smith
There’s a redemptive power that making a choice has rather than feeling like you’re an effect to all the things that are happening. Make a choice. Just decide what it’s gonna be, who you’re gonna be, how you are going to do it. Just decide. And from that point, the universe will get out of your way.
Will Smith
There's no easy way around it, no matter how talented you are ... your talent is going to fail you if you're not skilled. If you don't study, if you don't work really hard and dedicate yourself to being better every single day, you 'll never be able to communicate with people your artistry the way that you want!
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
The first eight years of schooling was with all white people. So that helped me to understand how white people think. I think that transition is what helped me bridge the gap, because that's what my success has really been about: bridging the gap between the black community and the white community.
Will Smith
Even Hitler didn't wake up going, 'Let me do the most evil thing I can do today.' I think he woke up in the morning and using a twisted, backwards logic, he set out to do what he thought was 'good.'
Will Smith
If you're absent during my struggle, don't expect to be present during my success.
Will Smith
Being realistic is the most commonly travelled road to mediocrity. What's the point of being realistic? It's unrealistic to walk into a room, flip a switch, and have light come on, but fortunately Edison didn't think so.
Will Smith
It's great to be black in Hollywood. When a black actor does something, it seems new and different just by virtue of the fact that he's black.
Will Smith
Love is the ultimate theme, but it's not just for women.
Will Smith
Why is life at this point in the twentieth century so focused upon the very beginning of life and the very end of life? What about the 80 years we have to live between those two inexorable bookends?
Will Smith
Basic principles: no matter what, no matter when, no matter who... any man has a chance to sweep any woman off her feet. He just needs the right broom.
Will Smith
When I was growing up, I installed refrigerators in supermarkets. My father was an electrical engineer.
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.
Will Smith
Life is...the moments that take your breath away.
Will Smith
I'd rather live my life knowing that I'm not perfect than spend my whole life pretending to be.
Will Smith
When I was young, and I'd get A's, I'd get this good feeling of all the things that I could be. And then I'd never became any of them.
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
There's so much negative imagery of black fatherhood. I've got tons of friends that are doing the right thing by their kids, and doing the right thing as a father - and how come that's not as newsworthy?
Will Smith
The separation of talent and skill is one of the largest misconceptions in modern society. Talent is something you born with, but skill can only be attained through Hours and Hours of hard work perfecting your talent as a craft. Which is why Talent will fail you without skill.
Will Smith
You have to make every group you come in contact with better.
