If you`re not willing to work hard, let someone else do it. I`d rather be with someone who does a horrible job, but gives 110% than with someone who does a good job and gives 60%.

I want to stop at five. when asked by Jules Asner about having more children.

You`re so much stronger when your partner is strong. I honestly believe there is no woman for me but Jada. Of all the women I`ve met - and there`ve been a few - no one can handle me the way Jada does. Once you feel someone locked in on you, it`s no contest. As fine as other women can be, as tempting sexually, I`m not going anywhere. This is it. I can`t imagine what anyone else could offer.

[on Star Wars] "I might have been eight or nine. That was the movie that put me into a space where the science fiction element was almost a spiritual connection for me. I thought, if someone could imagine that and then put it on a screen and make me feel like that... and my entire career I`ve been trying to make people feel like Star Wars made me feel."

My grandmother once told me, `Don`t let failure go to your heart and don`t let success go to your head.`

It`s a whole different thing being an actor. A rapper is about being completely true to yourself. Being an actor is about changing who you are. You make yourself a different person. You become a different person.

I really believe that a man and a woman together, raising a family, is the purest form of happiness we can experience.

My biggest emotional defeat and the greatest emotional pain I`ve had as an actor was when `Wild Wild West` opened up to $52 million. The movie wasn`t good. And it hurt so bad to be the No. 1 movie, to open at $52 million and to know the movie wasn`t good.

I love being black in America, and especially being black in Hollywood.

When I started in movies, I said, `I want to be the biggest movie star in the world.` The biggest movie stars make the biggest movies, so [my producing partner James Lassiter and I] looked at the top 10 movies of all time. At that point, they were all special-effects movies. So Independence Day, no-brainer. Men in Black, no-brainer. I, Robot, no-brainer.

About Aishwarya Rai: "I really wanted to work with her in _Hitch (2005)_ but she was shooting for Bride and Prejudice (2004) at the time and she couldn`t do it. She has this powerful energy where she doesn`t have to say anything, do anything, she can just stand there. Anything she`s making, I`ll be there." (February 2006)

If I weren`t a musician/actor, I`d be a computer engineer. I was always good at math. I probably would have been the guy who invented the remote control if I`d been around then.

Too many people spend money they haven`t earned to buy things they don`t want to impress people they don`t like.

People laugh, but if I set my mind to it, within the next 15 years I would be president.

When I turned 28, everything clicked. I even got way better in bed.

On the change in his body that Ali`s intense physical training required: "I`m human viagra. I`m Willagra. I`m a sex machine now. I`m raring to go every second of the day. My wife`s loving it."

[On his first season of "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" (1990)] "I was trying so hard. I would memorize the entire script, then I`d be lipping everybody`s lines while they were talking. When I watch those episodes, it`s disgusting. My performances were horrible."
