Breathing is meditation; life is a meditation. You have to breathe in order to live, so breathing is how you get in touch with the sacred space of your heart.

If I know what's true in my heart and my soul, then what people say can't shape that.
Willow Smith

If you don't like me, if you like me; both are equally cool. I send love and positive energy to all those people in their lives. I hope they find where they're meant to be.
Willow Smith

I want to embrace my full self, as natural as I can be.
Willow Smith

The only thing that really matters is spreading love and light and acceptance and unity throughout the entire world in any way that you possibly can.
Willow Smith
6.
Caring less what everybody else thinks, but also caring less and less about what your own mind thinks, because what your own mind thinks, sometimes, is the thing that makes you sad.
Willow Smith
7.
There're no novels that I like to read so I write my own novels, and then I read them again, and it's the best thing.
Willow Smith
8.
Comparing yourself to somebody else is like comparing yourself to a bird.
Willow Smith

Don’t be afraid to be yourself and don’t let anybody tell you that that’s wrong. Because the best thing is you.
Willow Smith
10.
If I had to change one thing about my life, it would probably be, I wouldn't be famous. Because when you're famous it's so hard.
Willow Smith
11.
I like to go to places with my high-fashion things where there are a lot of cameras. So I can just go there and be like, 'Yep, yep, I'm looking so sick.' But in my regular life, I put on clothes that I can climb trees in.
Willow Smith

You see so many beautiful things happening in this world, and you see so many things that make you want to cry and crawl under a rock. But there's an underlying feeling of magic and mystery in everything that I live for. I feel like all of my art is trying to get people to see that underlying, subtle energy that lives within everything that we see and what we don't see in this world.

The best piece of advice that I have ever received is from my mom. And she said, "Do you, boo boo." That is forever going to be the best advice.
Willow Smith
14.
Not a lot of siblings have opportunity [of realizing ourselves and realizing each other], because they're always being pushed together so much. They need their time apart in order to realize themselves and realize who they are.
Willow Smith
15.
I can never tell what I'm gonna wear. I kind of just put on whatever feels right. Sometimes that's Converse and a T-shirt, sometimes it's Givenchy heels and leather pants.
Willow Smith
16.
There's people, like me and Jaden [Smith], who want to utilize social media to elevate the consciousness of those people who feel like all they want from social media is to be famous.Like, you can actually be a voice. You can actually say something that's inspiring and not just make people feel like you need to buy things and be a certain way.
Willow Smith
17.
I have the motto that says, 'Whatever you see in your closet that you like, pick it and wear it.' It's not just your closet, but just your life. Whatever catches your eye. Pick it.
Willow Smith
18.
I want to retreat back to living off the land and just being in nature, experiencing life in the most pure, natural way possible.
Willow Smith

Growing up, all I saw was my parents trying to be the best people they could be, and people coming to them for wisdom, coming to them for guidance, and them not putting themselves on a pedestal, but literally being face-to-face with these people and saying, "I'm no better than you, but the fact that you're coming to me to reach some sort of enlightenment or to shine a light on something, that makes me feel love and gratitude for you." They always give back what people give to them. And sometimes they keep giving and giving and giving.
Willow Smith

When I can see someone that's posting the way that they're thinking about what's happening in the world right now or even art that they've created, it inspires me to do the same. It makes me turn off my phone and go paint a painting or go hike a mountain or go record a song. Those are the kind of things that social media helps me do. But it also can make me sit in my room and not do anything.

I like the way Billy Idol sings. Mommy turned me on to him.
Willow Smith
22.
I mean, time for me, I can make it go slow or fast, however I please. That's how I know it doesn't exist.
Willow Smith

I went to school for one year. It was the best experience but the worst experience. The best experience because I was, like, 'Oh, now I know why kids are so depressed.' But it was the worst experience because I was depressed.
Willow Smith

My style kinda comes from the music I listen to.

If you don't work hard, then you aren't going to have the success that you want. But if you work hard and dig in, then you are going to have the success that you want.

If you're not really having fun then there's no point of really trying.

Whipping your hair means not being afraid to be yourself.
Willow Smith
28.
I don't want there to always be this stigma of the "female" artist. "Oh, what does it feel like to be a female doing something?" That hurts me.
Willow Smith
29.
Don’t let haters get me off my grind. Keep my head up, I know I’ll be fine. Keep fighting until I get there. When I’m down and I feel like giving up I whip my hair back and forth.

I wear anything I feel like. If I want to put on a pair of Converse with a pencil stuck through them, I will.
Willow Smith
32.
I get my flow from Daddy, my singing ability from Mommy, the camera stuff from both. That's just what happens when you hang out with the Smiths.
Willow Smith
33.
Wow, I did so much for young black girls and girls around the world.
Willow Smith
34.
I never really get to go to school because I am always on tour or with my father. There is a tutor most of the time, but usually I am working so I never get to do the lessons. The worst thing about maths is all the kids are ahead of me because they go to school.
Willow Smith
35.
Some people don't feel like they need to give anything back because it's like, "Oh, if you're famous, you can just keep giving, and it doesn't matter." It's not just about money. It's not just about giving people gifts or whatever.
Willow Smith
36.
And then you think about what you think, which is very dangerous.
Willow Smith

I'm a huge advocate of all sciences. And my favorite - actually, not my favorite because I love all sciences - but my primary science that I study all the time is physics. It's the mother of all sciences because it's just how things move and how things react to the world around them. I feel like I would definitely go to college for physics.

I know so many kids who literally are, like, Instagram-famous. They have done nothing but post pictures on Instagram. And they have followings. People love to see them in person, but it's only because they post on their Instagram. It's literally crazy.
Willow Smith

Me and Jaden just figured out that our voices sound like chocolate together. As good as chocolate tastes, it sounds that good.

Famous-ness is awesomeness but some parts of famous-ness can be hard.

When I first got into the entertainment industry, I would always watch Rihanna and all those people, so I was like, 'Ooh, I have to be this.' So my mom was like, 'Just be yourself.'
Willow Smith
42.
I'm not really sick of people whipping their hair. It doesn't really get old. They're fans and I love them! It's just a fun game to play.

I like eating pepperoni. I heat it up in the microwave and then I let it roast and then I eat it with cheese.
Willow Smith

I know so many kids who literally are, like, Instagram-famous. They have done nothing but post pictures on Instagram. And they have followings. People love to see them in person, but it's only because they post on their Instagram. It's literally crazy. Kids will paint a picture of themselves that is so far beyond who they actually are. It's like they're wearing someone else's skin.
Willow Smith
45.
I like to eat cheese out of a bowl everyday.
Willow Smith
46.
I love Osho. I don't know if you would call him a philosopher; I would just call him a really cool dude. Osho really changed my life. Because the way that he spoke about emotion and the male and female energies in the world and how people react to the world around them, it's so simple, yet it has such a depth.
Willow Smith
47.
That's what art is, shocking people. Sometimes shocking yourself.
Willow Smith

What my parents have given to me is not anything that has to do with money or success or anything that society says people should be focusing on - it's something spiritual that only certain people can grasp and accept. And that's how I act and move in the world today.
