Roryandcraig.com: What are you drinking Will?
Will Smith: Fruit punch and carbonated ice water. What about you guys?
RandC: We're sharing a Shiraz. We love blush wines.
You're coming out with a vampire movie this summer called "I Am Legend," what differentiates this from all the other vampire movies you've been in?
WS: I don't want to give too much away, but you have to realize that this movie takes place in New York City. There are ethnic cab driver vampires, ethnic subway vampires and ethnic bodega vampires. Wesley Autrey, the guy who saved a man's life by jumping on the subway tracks, will be playing a vampire who kills a man on the subway tracks. This movie is gonna be off the chain.
RandC: When you act, are you really acting?
WS: No. I believe in a singular universal experience that we are all living. We all share the same life, that transcends space and time. When I portrayed Muhammad Ali, in 'Ali,' I wasn't acting like Muhammad Ali, I actually was Muhammad Ali. I ate his food, breathed his air and suffered whatever disease he now has.
RandC: Is there any beef between you and DJ Jazzy Jeff? We've noticed a lack of collaboration in the last 10-15 years.
WS: Jeez. You're throwing some heat now. In our 1989 album, And In This Corner, there was a song called "You Got It (Donut)." If you listen to that song, you'll understand that we were fighting over a donut...that's what we called girls in 1989. Needless to say, that Donut caused a huge riff in our relationship.
RandC: And who was that Donut?
WS: Brooke Shields' agent.
RandC: What can we expect for the "Jiggy-man" for the rest of this Willennium.
WS: I think technology will play a huge role in the next few years, so I'm embracing it completely. I'm releasing an album/peace contract dedicated to our future robot rulers. "Yes Yes Y'all: Cyborg Lovin' 1001101."
RandC: Thank you so much for speaking to us, Will. This both fulfills a huge dream of ours, and an obligation we had to your team of agents.
WS: Thank you fellas. Keep dreaming.
