Trash and Bash: The children of WILL SMITH and JADA PINKETT are pretty much set for life. But Will and Jada don't want them growing up with that attitude. So Will makes sure to keep them in check. On "Oprah" he said, quote, "I tell the kids all the time, it's like, Mommy and Daddy are rich, y'all are broke. We don't allow them to just sit around. "We talk about the concept of the group and the necessity of you adding to the family, and then you have to add to the neighborhood, and then you have to add to humanity." Just because he's rolling in cash now, Will says he doesn't feel any different than he did when HE was broke growing up. He told Oprah, quote, "No matter how successful you get, it's really difficult to shake your mindset. "I still have a poor person mentality. I can't shake it and it gets really detrimental. It's really difficult to shake. When I go to sleep at night right now, I'm as financially nervous as I was 20 years ago."
