Is this it?


Is this it?

She's plays in a band, stars in new film Reign Over Me and is Will Smith's other half. But what is Jada Pinkett Smith doing for the rest of her life?

Stay-at-home mum... Jada Pinkett Smith in Reign Over Me

Who's that girl?
I guess it would be Janeane, the girl in Reign Over Me. Janeane is Don Cheadle's wife and she's a stay-at-home wife and mother having a difficult time with the resurgence of the friendship between the characters of Adam Sandler's character and Don's [after Sandler's family dies on 9/11].

How can I be sad?

Well 9/11 brought up a lot of questions and helped me redefine and really look at life and look how I was really seeing things. It helped me understand the necessity to have understanding. It got me back into the idea of making sure my children had an understanding of all religions before they decide what they want to practice.


Deal or no deal?
Deal! We're filming the pilot for my TV show MILF and Cookies and it's coming along. For our show MILF means "mother I'd like to figure out". It has many different meanings actually. It just depends how crude you want to go with it. It just so happens ours is not so crude.

Do you know the way to San Jose?

Actually I don't. But I've been there. I've flown there.

Who do you love?

I love my husband. I love my family [children Jaden and Willow, with Will Smith]. I love my friends. And I love myself very much. I would say that last bit has been a journey. I think that's just part of growing up. You're constantly transforming and constantly trying to keep up with yourself. As long as we stay on top of ourselves and we are responsible for ourselves I think it's not that hard.

How deep is your love?

Very deep. I love people very deeply and very hard.

Who are you fighting for?

No one really at this point in time to be honest. Not even myself. I'm pretty much done with the fighting.

Who needs guitars anyway?

Oh absolutely. We definitely need guitars. My band Wicked Wisdom is about to go into the studio to do a second album so we're excited about that. We're going to tour but we don't want to go back out until we have our new material.

Who killed the electric car?

Well shame on them for killing the electric car but that's a good question. We have a Lexus hybrid SUV at home though. We enjoy it very much.

What are you doing for the rest of your life?

Good question. Isn't that quite the mystery? I don't know how much I will be acting. I have to be really tempted by something. I get offered a lot of things but they're not necessarily good which is one of the reasons I'm moving a little behind the scenes. I decided to do this film because I was really intrigued not necessarily by the role of Janeane but the idea of the movie. I like what it's saying.

Who let the dogs out?

I have lots of dogs and usually we let the dogs out to protect the perimeter. We've got five and they're all mutts. Sometimes we walk the dogs but they need to be walked about three times a day so we have people who come and walk them if we can't. But usually at weekends we take our dogs for hikes up into the hills.

Is this it?

No. I wouldn't say "this is it". It's never "this is it" for me.

ยท Reign Over Me is out now
