Quotes

Will Smith: It's better for my body, for my sanity, for my family, for my life, if people are having fun. My skin is better. (edit)
Will: I know how to learn anything I want to learn. Give me a book. (edit)
Will: (On Star Wars) I might have been eight or nine. That was the movie that put me into a space where the science fiction element was almost a spiritual connection for me. I thought, if someone could imagine that and then put it on a screen and make me feel like that... and my entire career I've been trying to make people feel like Star Wars made me feel. (edit)
Will: If I weren't a musician/actor, I'd be a computer engineer. I was always good at math. I probably would have been the guy who invented the remote control if I'd been around then. (edit)
Will: (on the birth of Jaden) Me and Jada wanna take credit for it, but we went to Mexico and got some tequila and nine months later he showed up. (edit)
