“We let Willow cut her hair. When you have a little girl, it’s like, how can you teach her that you’re 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 in the world. She can’t cut my hair but that’s her hair. She has got to have command of her body. So when she goes out into the world, she’s going out with a command that it is 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.”

- Will Smith, on why he’s cool with his daughter cutting off all her hair (via geardrops)

“Ideas are a son of a bitch like that, because they always come when you are least prepared to preserve them. Inspiration is like some sort of weird collision, where the idea is always sweeping across the landscape, through the neighborhood, or in and out the bedroom window. For that idea to hit you, you must be moving as well. If you’re standing still, the idea will whip right around you and keep going. It is like some sort of weird reverse game of chicken, where the sole way to make contact is by trying to miss one another. The only other things with the perfect and unfortunate timing of good ideas are the internal clocks of long-forgotten ex’s that tells them to appear everywhere during the first couple weeks of a new relationship.”

““I go into class and talk to students about how to think, sketch, and develop their work. I can’t go home and bullshit my way through a project after that. It makes me realize how important the process is.””
