Willow [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 SmithPeople tell me to smile, I tell them the lack of emotion on my face doesn't mean I'm unhappy.
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 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.
