Jada Pinkett Smith

“Willow and I definitely talked about doing a collaboration. She really loves rock music, so she wants to come on and get crazy with me on a track. Which I would love, because she has a fantastic voice.”

“I think, as women, we have to stop being scared to be the women we want to be and we have to raise our daughters to be the women they want to be - not the women we think they should be.”

“I just think, as women, we have to give ourselves room to be individuals. So when a woman makes a decision for herself, we as women shouldn't set those hardcore boundaries for another woman. Just like we don't want men setting hardcore boundaries for us.”

“My music is like my freedom space.”

“It's not about what you tell your children, but how you show them how to live life.”

“I never stop being a mother and I never stop being an artist. You understand? Which is probably why my kids are so creative, because it's not separated.”

“For people to be able to sit down together and have a conversation, that's the power of love.”

“I've always wanted to have the ability to do what I want to do. And there are so many things that I want to do because I love acting, I love directing, I love producing, I love being a mother, I love being a wife. If I had to choose one, just would put me in the crazy house.”

“I'm scared of clowns.”

“I have a thing for doors. I always think of them as a threshold to something new.”

“I can't cook! It's genetic. My grandmother can't cook, my mother can't cook. I was raised to believe you eat because your body needs fuel for energy, so I eat super foods.”

“I find fame to be quite unnatural. Humans are not built for extreme adoration.”

“Art should never be limited - the beauty of art is that it gives us the freedom to go places where we wouldn't go to in our normal lives. Inside, I'm just so many different people. I go from the pretty girl on the red carpet to the singer at Ozzfest, spitting in the crowd. That's Jada.”

“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.”

“Here's the thing, men have to also mature in how they see women, too. Because they need to understand that it's not just about how we look, it's about who we are. And I am going to tell you like this, 'If you can't love me with short hair, and you telling me I got to have long hair to be loved, guess what, I ain't the one for you.'”

“I learned that surrounding myself with people who are able to help me is like being surrounded by tangible godliness.”

“Human spirit, things that aren't tangible, fascinate me, so I'm always researching mind, spirit, soul.”

“I think women who lead full lives are better mothers.”

“Know this, if someone has cheated on you who truly loves you, they have hurt themselves as much as they have hurt you.”

“If I had my way, I'd wear jewelry, a great pair of heels and nothing else.”
