Happy Birthday Jada Pinkett-Smith! At 43yrs old, she puts many girls half her age to shame. Known for her toned and petite frame, the A-list actress struts her stuff for the newest issue of Health magazine. Inside the issue, the mom of Willow and Jaden, opens up about her workout regimen, getting older and life with husband, Will. Check out the excerpts below.

On her exercise routine:

“I tell people all the time ‘You can eat whatever you want, just as long as you’re willing to put the work in,’ and that’s a thing I had to learn. So I make sure I do something physical everyday. But that doesn’t mean you have to go to the gym  and freakin kill yourself. Literally, I’m never in the gym longer than 45 minutes. Just be consistent-that’s it!”

On keeping confident as time goes on:

“Because it is what it is! I’m getting older! I never looked at myself, as, like, a beauty. I’m not sore on the eye, but I know there’s always going to be somebody more beautiful…always.  My grandmother used to say to me, ‘Its not what you look like on the outside. Its what you look like on the inside,’ So she helped me learn at an early age to be well-rounded, to be spiritual,  to be compassionate. and my mom said, ‘You can do whatever you want to your hair and clothes.’ I went to art school, and I would make my hair lime green if I wanted. So there is a certain internal power that grew within me because I didn’t have a problem being who I was, no matter what room I was in.”

On date night with Will:

“A lot of times we’ll do it at the house because when we go out it can be a little hectic. So we have different places around our yard where we like to set up a little Arabian tent, pillows, wine and cheese and candlelight. Will likes really thought-out productions.”
