Stop letting people who do so little for you control so much of your mind, feelings and emotions

Image
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.

Image
There's a forgiveness that literary audiences will give you that film audiences don't give you. It's the two hour construct. You're in there and it needs to climax and finish.
Will Smith
Image
Never lie, steal, cheat, or drink. But if you must lie, lie in the arms of the one you love. If you must steal, steal away from bad company. If you must cheat, cheat death. And if you must drink, drink in the moments that take your breath away.

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
Image
I want to represent possibilities. I want to represent magic, right, that you're in a universe, and two plus two equals four.

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.
