I've always been a caretaker; I think a lot of women are. We take care of everybody else first, and very rarely do we think about ourselves.

When I'm tired, I rest. I say, 'I can't be a superwoman today.'

Art should never be limited - the beauty of art is that it gives us the freedom to go places where we wouldn't go to in our normal lives. Inside, I'm just so many different people. I go from the pretty girl on the red carpet to the singer at Ozzfest, spitting in the crowd. That's Jada.

Controversy is always a beautiful thing. I love controversy and I try to fan it as much as I can without having my husband's head pop off!

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.

Love and honesty are the things that make a good wife and mother.

I do call upon a little Fish Mooney energy sometimes, believe it or not.
