Believing in yourself is the first step to accomplishing any goal. If you think you're going to fail, you probably will.

The first time that I performed as an actor was the first day on the set of 'The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.'

Just because the kid's cute, doesn't mean you're not the father.

I've never really viewed myself as particularly talented. I've viewed myself as slightly above average in talent.

Greatness exists in all of us.

I'm profoundly changed. There's a bittersweet emotion that I feel from playing this role. . . . I want the world to be different because I was here. However lofty or crazy or delusional that may sound, I want people's lives to be better because I was here.

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