Summary
Will Smith is giving Jersey the credit it deserves—calling it the fertile ground that launched his career, from his childhood at Victoria College to his Emmy-winning work on Slow Horses and Veep. Nominated for nine Emmys, including Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series again, Smith says he wouldn’t be where he is without the island’s supportive creative community and the teachers who sparked his love for storytelling. Even with global acclaim, he still finds Emmys surreal—remembering being in the same room as Harrison Ford. Winning for Slow Horses was especially emotional; he didn’t expect it and champions creating art for yourself, because true success happens when you’re happy with your work, no matter the audience.
