Will Smith

We let Willow cut her hair. When you have a little girl, it’s like, how can you teach her that your in control of her body? If I teach her that I’m in charge of whether or not she can touch her hair, she’s going to replace me with some other man when she goes out into the world. She can’t cut my hair, but that’s her hair. She has got to have command over her body. So when she goes out into the world, she goes out with command that it’s hers. She is used to making those decisions herself. We try to keep giving them those decisions until they can hold the full weight of their lives.

When I started to make more or less serious money – for those times – then, of course, I wanted to show everyone that life is different: it’s a new kind of life; we are earning this money. We wanted to pay taxes and live honestly.

I have no interest in becoming a tax exile and living somewhere I don’t want to – I just want to be at home with my family.

Philanthropic efforts are among the best rewards you can have for a life well lived.

When a fellow says it ain’t the money but the principle of the thing, it’s the money.

A man who pays his bills on time is soon forgotten

Honesty is the best policy – when there is money in it.

Money gives me the creeps and mildly embarrasses me. I get paid too much anyway.

Money is like manure. You have to spread it around or it smells.

Too much money ain’t enough money.

Whoever thinks that money can’t buy happiness . . . just doesn’t know where to shop!

Money was never a big motivation for me, except as a way to keep score. The real excitement is playing the game.

If all the economists were laid end to end, they’d never reach a conclusion.

No one would remember the Good Samaritan if he’d only had good intentions – he had money, too.

Undermine the entire economic structure of society by leaving the pay toilet door ajar so the next person can get in free.

I’m bout this shmoney!
