Human spirit, things that aren't tangible, fascinate me, so I'm always researching mind, spirit, soul.
— Jada Pinkett Smith
What is the thing that Will could do to make me not love him? That would make me abandon him? I can't think of one. I'm sorry. Except if he did something bad to the kids - now we've got a problem.
Good mothers make all kinds of choices. Making a decision that might sound selfish does not make a woman a bad mother.
I've always told Will, 'You can do whatever you want as long as you can look at yourself in the mirror and be okay.' Because at the end of the day, Will is his own man. I'm here as his partner, but he is his own man. He has to decide who he wants to be, and that's not for me to do for him. Or vice versa.
I grew up in a neighborhood in Baltimore that was like a war zone, so I never learned to trust that there were people who could help me.
Love is what sometimes holds us and binds us when we're not so happy.
I'm in this whole flow of doing certain art pieces without commerce.
I'm not one about trying to slow things down. What I try to do is create an atmosphere for my family where we can pretty much have whatever.
I feel a real responsibility to my community and so right now there has been this bizarre myth in our community how our vote doesn't count. I'm trying to get out there and re-educate on how the government works and break that myth and talk about the importance of being involved.
We all think there is a formula, (but) as long as we love our children, that's really the only solid thing I know that works across the board.
I try my best to confront situations because I know, at the end of the day, you can deal with it or it will deal with you. I've had enough experience to know that that's how it goes down. There's no going around it.
Do whatever rejuvenates you. It might be a cooking class, cocktails with the girls, or just private time with the hubby. We all have our moments where we run out of steam because we've given everything we've got to everyone else. Whoever decided that was a good thing? It's not. Everyone needs to refuel.
What you're willing to sacrifice is the measurement of how you love - at least it is for me.
I don't have to go around trying to save everybody anymore; that's not my job.
I've always been a caretaker; I think a lot of women are. We take care of everybody else first, and very rarely do we think about ourselves.
For people to be able to sit down together and have a conversation, that's the power of love.
I had to get into a place for myself of thinking what I would create for myself if I didn't have to worry about making money.
I just want pieces of the world.
I won't sell my soul to the devil, but I do want success and I don't think that's bad.
Women, you can have it all - a loving man, devoted husband, loving children, a fabulous career.
I have been affected by gossip and I know people who have been, too. I've seen marriages destroyed by gossip. It is cruel. At the end of the day, all that matters is: Do you love what you see when you look in the mirror? That is it, baby.
Women need to attack those negative voices they have in their head.
I don't think it's easy to be married to anyone.
I learned that surrounding myself with people who are able to help me is like being surrounded by tangible godliness.
My belief is that communication is the best way to create strong relationships.
I have a thing for doors. I always think of them as a threshold to something new.
I'm scared of clowns.
I think women who lead full lives are better mothers.
When we met, I never thought in a million years that Will Smith and I would be together.
I'm extremely ambitious. I don't know why people are afraid to say that. I won't sell my soul to the devil, but I do want success and I don't think that's bad.
