I would say being deeply involved in the art world would help keep a young artist on track. Doing what you love, so that your focus is your artistry.

We have to nurture our young women and understand the beauty and the strength of being a woman. It's kind of a catch-22: Strength in women isn't appreciated, and vulnerability in women isn't appreciated. It's like, 'What the hell do you do?' What you do is you don't allow anyone to dictate who you are.

You know, as I get older, personal happiness is all about love. It's all about love. You know, how I'm loved and how I love my family and my husband. That to me is happiness, when I feel like I am loved and I have a place to love deeply. That to me is happiness.

I met my husband, Will Smith, when I was 19 and auditioned to be his date on 'The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.' They said I was too short to play the part.

What you're willing to sacrifice is the measurement of how you love - at least it is for me.

I think women who lead full lives are better mothers.

I don't have to go around trying to save everybody anymore; that's not my job.
