I'm not afraid to die on a treadmill.

The things that have been most valuable to me I did not learn in school. Traditional education is based on facts and figures and passing tests - not on a comprehension of the material and its application to your life.

Just as a person, just in my life, the way I was raised, my grandmother made it very clear that God will make a way.

I know how to learn anything I want to learn. I absolutely know that I could learn how to fly the space shuttle because someone else knows how to fly it, and they put it in a book. Give me the book, and I do not need somebody to stand up in front of the class.

My skin is hard when it comes to my music. But with my movies, I'm still a virgin in a lot of ways. I'm not used to being shot down for no reason.

I think that my sensibilities are becoming slightly less delicate and I'm venturing out in a storytelling world.

I had to focus and create a character in Bagger Vance, not just do my 'Will Smith' thing and get paid.
