I consider myself an alchemist. An alchemist is basically a mystical chemist, right? And one of the great feats that alchemists used to do is they would take lead - just take a chunk of lead - and they could turn lead into gold.

More quotes by Will Smith
The women who don't seek attention are usually the women you need to be giving your attention to.
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 Kitai. Do not misunderstand me, danger is very real, but fear is a choice.
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
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
If the world attacks and you slide off track, remember one fact, I got your back.
Will Smith
It feels like God visits everywhere else, but lives in Africa.
Will Smith
I try to speak my points of view about black America, and how I feel about black men and the role that black men should play in their lives with their children and in their lives with their women.
Will Smith
Greatness exists in all of us.
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
Things work in spite of me sometimes.
Will Smith
The big thing I tell my kids is you have to control how you label things. It's very important to me they understand the power they have to create the lives that they want.
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 love creating music and television and film. I love the hustle, I love the grind, I love working sixteen- and eighteen-hour days and waking up at four the next morning and going to the gym. I love that.
Will Smith
Just as a person, just in my life, the way I was raised, my grandmother made it very clear that God will make a way.
Will Smith
We didn't grow up with the sense that where we were was where we were gonna be. We grew up with the sense that where we were almost didn't matter, because we will be becoming something greater.
Will Smith
Those who say I can, and those who say I can't - are both usually right
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 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
I'm motivated by fear...a fear of fear. I hate being afraid to do something.
Will Smith
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.
