My school was 90 percent white, but 90 percent of the kids I played with were black. So I got the best of both worlds. I think that is where my comedy developed.

My skin is hard when it comes to my music. But with my movies, I’m still a virgin in a lot of ways. I’m not used to being shot down for no reason.

One of my teachers used to call me Prince, because I always had a way of charming myself in and out of different situations.

Our thoughts, our feelings, our dreams, our ideas, are physical in the universe.

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.

Part of being an actor is almost self-hypnosis during those brief moments when the cameras are rolling. You want to actually believe you’re Chris Gardner or Muhammad Ali.

Part of what makes a human being a human being is the imperfections. Like, you wouldn’t give a robot my ears. You just wouldn’t do that.

Probably means there’s a good chance. Possibly means we might or we might not.

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

Sitting in the movie theater watching Star Wars, I’ve never had an experience with any form of entertainment that was like that. It was almost spiritual. I couldn’t believe that someone’s mind created that. And, right, it felt like George Lucas had a piano that was playing my emotions, and he could go ahead and do whatever he wanted and make me lean forward if he wanted, or he could make me go oh, or he could make me hide my face.
