The Jaden & Willow Interview Quiz

Get ready for a trip down memory lane as we delve into that New York Times interview with Jaden and Willow Smith. The musings of the two teen actors/musicians/designers/possible future "movement" leaders will bring you back to your Philosophy 101 days in college. You know that class where half of what you read felt undecipherable but you knew it was supposed to be deep and open your worldview? Yeah, it's sort of like that, only more confusing. In the interview, the famous offspring of Will and Jada Pinkett Smith answered fairly standard questions about their careers with thoughts on space, time, and, "Duality consciousness."

If there's anything to gather from these young...pontificators it's that they are as ambitious as they are fond of flowery language. Some day, they just might rule us all. The interview, though puzzling and even a bit troubling, doesn't come as a huge surprise. Both Will and Jada Pinkett Smith have been known to be, shall we say, outspoken and controversial when it comes to their take on the universe.

However, the interview isn't all Carl Sagan and Pure Moods meets LA street style. Willow, for example, has been writing novels since she was just 6-years-old and her fashion of choice at home is, "Clothes that I can climb trees in."

In the full interview, readers learn all about Jaden's and Willow's opinions on the energies of babies and why, "Kids who go to normal school are so teenagery, so angsty." It's not exaclty a light read. Once you've fully processed the whole thing, let's see if you can guess whether Jaden Smith, Willow Smith or a famous philosopher said these quotes.
