I honestly believe that if I decided to be the president of the United States, I could do it. That might sound foolish to some. But in my mind, if Ronald Reagan can become president, why not Will Smith?

There's a certain delusional quality that all successful people have to have. You have to believe that something different than what has happened for the last 50 million years of history - you have to believe that something different can happen.

Don't let failure go to your heart, and don't let success go to your head.

When you find things that are tried and true for millennia, you can bet that it's going to happen tomorrow.

I work from almost a dangerous place in my mind sometimes.

If it was something that I really committed myself to, I don't think there's anything that could stop me becoming President of the United States.

For me and my storytelling and the way that I embrace stories in the way that I embrace characters, I desperately needed to know that everything was okay.
