Jaden and Willow Smith Give Mind-Boggling Interview

They talk quantum physics, holographic realities & prana

Published 19th Nov 2014

Despite only being 16 and 14 years old, Jaden and Willow Smith have incredibly adult heads on their young shoulders.

The teenage children of Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith were interviewed by New York Times over the weekend and gave some unbelievable and bizarre replies to some of the straightforward questions posed.

Amongst the subjects the pair touched upon were quantum physics, holographic realities (WHAT?!), prana (cosmic energy) and Willow’s novel writing.

Check out some highlights below:

On what they're reading:

WILLOW: “Quantum physics. Osho.” JADEN: “The Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life and ancient texts; things that can’t be pre-dated.”

On themes that appear in their work:

JADEN: “The P.C.H. being one of them; the melancholiness of the ocean; the melancholiness of everything else.” WILLOW: “And the feeling of being like, this is a fragment of a holographic reality that a higher consciousness made.”

On breathing:

WILLOW: “Prana energy.” JADEN: “When babies are born, their soft spots bump: It has, like, a heartbeat in it. That’s because energy is coming through their body, up and down.”

On books:

WILLOW: “There’re no novels that I like to read so I write my own novels, and then I read them again, and it’s the best thing.” JADEN: “Willow’s been writing her own novels since she was 6.”**

On going to school:

ADEN: “Here’s the deal: School is not authentic because it ends. It’s not true, it’s not real. Our learning will never end. The school that we go to every single morning, we will continue to go to." **WILLOW: “Forever, ‘til the day that we’re in our bed.” JADEN: “Kids who go to normal school are so teenagery, so angsty.” WILLOW: “They never want to do anything, they’re so tired.” JADEN: “You never learn anything in school. Think about how many car accidents happen every day. Driver’s ed? What’s up? I still haven’t been to driver’s ed because if everybody I know has been in an accident, I can’t see how driver’s ed is really helping them out.” WILLOW: “I went to school for one year. It was the best experience but the worst experience. The best experience because I was, like, “Oh, now I know why kids are so depressed.” But it was the worst experience because I was depressed.”
