Jada Pinkett-Smith covers the latest issue of Uptown Magazine and in the mag she opens up about the new season of her show HawthoRNe, family, sacrifice and of course Will Smith. First off, we gotta say Jada looks absolutely incredible! She is one mother who we would like to…
Jada Pinkett-Smith on remaining the same:
“That same girl you saw in Menace is the same girl who even then was listening to metal. But nobody knew that. If you talk to the Queen Latifahs and the Tupac Shakurs, they’d say, ‘Of course!’ I’ve always been a lot of things.”
Jada on 14 years of marriage to Will Smith:
“We create together; we love on each other,” Pinkett Smith says of the man she still rocks out with to old-school hip-hop on satellite radio. “We raise our kids together. We are building something together.”
Jada admits that the couple’s public perception is vastly different than their reality.
“People think that Will and I don’t spend a lot of time together. Too much time, actually, if you ask me,” she says with a laugh. “It’s always nice to have a little time apart. Sometimes you need that.”
Jada on sacraficing her career for her kids:
“There was a time when all I had to worry about was myself,” she says. “I’d get offers to do things—to go to Bolivia for three months or go to Prague—and now it’s like, I can’t. It’s not about me anymore, it’s about me being there for my kids. And there’s no one else I would leave that job to.”
Jada on WIllow and Jaden:
“Believe it or not, they’re both like me and Will,” says Pinkett Smith of the couple’s children. “Willow’s a lot like me – just in the chances she’ll take. And then, Jaden has the drive of his father. Jaden and I are what I call introverted extroverts. Willow and Will are more pow! Jaden and I, well, we don’t give that to just anybody.”
