Right now, we do not act as a true society. We act as a world under terror, just scrambling to survive.
Jaden SmithMy dad once told me, he was like, 'The only time you should lie is when someone's holding a gun to your head and says 'Okay, lie or I'm going to shoot you.'' And that really stuck with me.
Jaden SmithIt's good to be happy and tell us how cool your life is and how awesome you are on social media. It inspires other people to be happy, too. But a lot of times, people are trying to be happy in the wrong ways - with money or with different things that are not true happiness. It's leading people down a rabbit hole that actually doesn't exist. So people think like, "Yo, once I get this money and these cars and stuff, I'ma be so happy." But that's not true. And I feel like that's why it's very important to educate people on different things while you are actually on social media.
Jaden SmithI'll watch movies I like to see, Steve Jobs interviews, something that's going to make me smart and then go to sleep.
Jaden SmithWillow [Smith] started making music first. I was like, "My younger sister is, like, 4, and she's making all these fire songs. What's happening?" Willow was doing all these things, about to have record label deals at like the age of 6, and I was like, "I feel like I'm underachieving."
Jaden SmithI feel like a serious revolution needs to take place in order for human beings to evolve in a way where we can truly exist as a society.
Jaden SmithYou never learn anything in school. Think about how many car accidents happen every day. Driverโs ed? Whatโs up? I still havenโt been to driverโs ed because if everybody I know has been in an accident, I canโt see how driverโs ed is really helping them out.
Jaden SmithSo when one thought goes into your mind, itโs not just one thought, it has to bounce off both hemispheres of the brain. When youโre thinking about something happy, youโre thinking about something sad. When you think about an apple, you also think about the opposite of an apple.
Jaden SmithI used to not be really honest with girls and then I dropped a song called 'Starry Room' and then I started turning over a new leaf.
Jaden SmithAs soon as me and Willow started releasing music, that's one thing that the whole world took away is, okay, they unlocked another step of honesty. If these guys can be honest about everything, then we can be more honest.
Jaden SmithI have a goal to be just the most craziest person of all time. And when I say craziest, I mean, like, I want to do like Olympic-level things. I want to be the most durable person on the planet.

Jaden SmithAll of our issues come from us not being aware enough or not seeing through our problems to the depths of the issues.
Jaden SmithAnything that you can shock somebody with. The only way to change something is to shock it. If you want your muscles to grow, you have to shock them. If you want society to change, you have to shock them.
Jaden SmithHereโs the deal: School is not authentic because it ends. Itโs not true, itโs not real. Our learning will never end.
Jaden SmithA question I would like to present to the world is: Where is the love? And what are we doing? Who's making the decisions that are putting us in the predicaments that we are in, with all of these people losing their lives around the world in so many different ways?
Jaden SmithOn working with his father in Pursuit of Happyness: It was fun having that experience with my dad 'cause he really taught me a lot of the stuff that he knows. Almost everything he knows about acting in that one movie.
Jaden SmithMy dad one time told me, he was like, 'The only time you should lie is when someone's holding a gun to your head and says 'Okay, lie or I'm going to shoot you.' And that really stuck with me. I think about that a lot. I used to not be really honest with girls and then I dropped a song called "Starry Room" and then I started turning over a new leaf. Now, I'm completely honest with girls all the time and they just get mad at me.
Jaden SmithIt's proven that how time moves for you depends on where you are in the universe. It's relative to beings and other places. But on the level of being here on earth, if you are aware in a moment, one second can last a year. And if you are unaware, your whole childhood, your whole life can pass by in six seconds. But itโs also such a thing that you can get lost in.
Jaden SmithBeing aware in the moment of right now is just the most important thing. All of our issues come from us not being aware enough or not seeing through our problems to the depths of the issues.
Jaden SmithI watch like, Steve Jobs interviews, I don't really watch TV. I stopped watching TV when I turned like ten because my parents were like, 'TV's really bad for you.'
Jaden SmithI want to create a society that is working for me and with me - and I am working for society, not against it.
