I won't let my career break my marriage

I won't let my career break my marriage

Though her husband Will Smith and she are both successful film stars, Jada Pinkett said she would willingly give up acting if it ever came down to a choice between career and marriage.

'I'm aware how busy careers can quickly lead to divorce, but I'm not going to let that happen to us,' she said.

'I'll give up my career before I let it break up our marriage. I made it clear to Will that I'd throw it away completely, which is what I'm doing to a certain extent.'

Married for 10 years, Jada and Will have two children - their son Jaden Christopher, 8, who recently starred with his father in 'The Pursuit Of Happyness', and daughter Willow, 6, reports www.hollywood.tv

In her latest film 'Reign Over Me', Jada plays a wife who's trapped in an unhappy marriage, a role that conversely taught her even more what it takes to make a marriage work.

'Even though you have this union as husband and wife, you can never forget who you are, just simply as yourself.

'If you lose yourself then everything else will fall out. There is no relationship to be had if you don't have a relationship with yourself first,' she said.
