Jada Pinkett Smith

I don't have to go around trying to save everybody anymore; that's not my job.

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

My belief is that communication is the best way to create strong relationships.

Shaft was a pop culture figure along t he lines of, I guess, Dirty Harry - except that he wasn't as much of a racist. So yeah, I was always a fan.

Recently, I was in Bernalda, my dad's ancestral home town in Italy. He has just refurbished a palazzo and turned it into a hotel, so we had my sister's wedding there. It was beautiful.

I have learned that I am not built for conflict or controversy. I have also learned that, in all my life, I have never chosen a story. The story has always chosen me.
