More quotes by Will Smith
Give me a problem, I'll give you a solution. I just love living. That's a feeling you can't fake. I'm glad every single day. I think that even the camera can feel that I'm a happy man.
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
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
I had to focus and create a character in Bagger Vance, not just do my 'Will Smith' thing and get paid.
Will Smith
Begging for acknowledgment, or even asking, diminishes dignity and diminishes power.
Will Smith
The thing I wanted to focus on first was that I wanted to graduate, and (with me) coming back, I knew that I wanted another national championship. Another national championship is everyone's main goal, but we have to take it one game at a time. We can't get ahead of ourselves. We've got Washington first, then we'll see what happens.
Will Smith
The desire to be a good father is really innate. There aren't a lot of movies that depict that relationship because men, we have to pretend that we're not that emotional about it.
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
Money and success don't change people they merely amplify what is already there.
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
The first time that I performed as an actor was the first day on the set of 'The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.'
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
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.
Will Smith
My biggest emotional defeat and the greatest emotional pain I've had as an actor was when Wild Wild West opened up to $52 million. The movie wasn't good. And it hurt so bad to be the No. 1 movie - to open at $52 million - and to know the movie wasn't good.
Will Smith
I think it would be arrogant and borderline foolish to believe there's no other life forms that exist out there.
Will Smith
If the world attacks and you slide off track, remember one fact, I got your back.
Will Smith
We spend money that we do not have, on things we do not need, to impress people who do not care.
Will Smith
I want to represent the idea that you really can make what you want I believe I can create whatever I want to create.
Will Smith
The best feeling in the world is knowing that you actually mean something to someone.
Will Smith
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.
Will Smith
