There's no way I could have put it all in one book. There's no way, you know, so there's definitely other books to come. I mean, even Will and I are thinking about writing a book.

How Debbie Allen "Looked Out" For Jada Pinkett Smith
Sway Calloway: Can you speak a little more in depth about Debbie Allen and your relationship with her? She's an amazing individual who's been on this show and I want to take this opportunity to put the spotlight on all the folks that she's touched.
Jada Pinkett Smith: Yeah. She, I mean, she's like our surrogate mom. You know, it's like Debbie is like, she raised me in Hollywood until this day, you know, and so without her, you know, even on like a different world, she just, she looked out. She was making sure we all knew how to write scripts, we all had opportunities to direct. She, when Pac got me hooked up with Menace II Society, she made it so that I could do that movie because I was contracted by "A Different World."
Sway Calloway: Oh, so you weren't really allowed to.
Jada Pinkett Smith: I wasn't allowed to.
Sway Calloway: Exclusivity.
