Bandwagon Quote by Jada Pinkett Smith
“I've heard all the things — their marriage is not real, he's gay, she's gay, they swing. But at the end of the day, people have to believe what they have to believe…One thing Will and I are not here to do, is like, what's real for us is what's real for us, so you can either get on that bandwagon or not. I'll tell you what, it's too hard to be in a pretend marriage. Life's too short for that one.”
