- Will: (on becoming Ali from Director Michael Mann) He said we would run the way Muhammad Ali ran, in the cities that he ran in, and the routes he ran. We would eat the food that Muhammad Ali ate, we would spar the way he sparred, we would train the way Muhammad Ali trained. And by "we" he meant me. Then there was the mental and emotional development of Ali. The third part was the spiritual development, where I would understand the convictions that Muhammad Ali developed during the period we were shooting in the film.
  Edit Share Hide
- Will: (revealing wife Jada gave him advice before his love scene in Seven Pounds) Jada said, 'Listen, I know you're uncomfortable, but you better not embarrass me.' She said, 'When you do that love scene, you better show 'em what you're working with!'
  Edit Share Hide
- Will: (revealing he feels uncomfortable during sex scenes in his movies) My worst nightmare is for an actress to ... feel like I'm taking this opportunity to get a little quickie feel, you know, some legal cheating going on! I just need, specifically women, to feel comfortable around me. I just don't want to feel like I'm that dude.
