Jamie Foxx
What we do in New Orleans, man - we party!
Jamie Foxx
I don't know if I'm built for marriage.
Jamie Foxx
You know what? I never really factor Hollywood into anything. I'm a black actor, so I can't really control what Hollywood thinks. I gotta go do my thing, and my jokes have got to be funny. Whatever I do has got to be great.
Jamie Foxx
I'm a southern gentleman.
Jamie Foxx
That's what's great about the arts. Everything inspires you, and you get a chance to grow from watching other people and how they do their work.
Jamie Foxx
Guys don't adapt as well as women do to getting their heart broken for the first time. It's tragic.
Jamie Foxx
My homies that are around me never give me that 'star pass'. I've hung out with some stars who are playing basketball and everyone let's them score all the baskets. Shooting pool, they let them make all the shots. My homies don't let me get away with that.
Jamie Foxx
You have a responsibility to your work, to your choices. Once you get to a certain level of quality and commitment, you don't want to go back and make Booty Call 7.
Jamie Foxx
I play a slave. How black is that? I have to wear chains. How whack is that? But don’t worry. I get free. I save my wife and I kill all the white people in the movie. How great is that?
Jamie Foxx
I really wanted to just be a musician. I didn't want to be anything else, but I was funny and all that.
Jamie Foxx
Will.i.am and I performed at Wango Tango. That's when my daughter said that I had made it in music.
Jamie Foxx

Jamie Foxx
The most interesting thing about acting is when you go to the dark places, that's a lot of energy. When you go to the happiest places, it's also a lot of energy.
Jamie Foxx
(I get to) kill all the white people... How great is that?
Jamie Foxx
In looking at Hollywood and its structure, the director controls the medium, and I want to be in control of certain things. I want to be able to get my own ideas and my own feelings out there, and the only way to do that is to be behind the camera.
Jamie Foxx
In our music, in our everyday life, there are so many negative things. Why not have something positive and stamp it with blackness?
Jamie Foxx
To be the leading man it's about the celebrity and the looks, and it's tough to do that. People who do it great are people like Tom Cruise and Will Smith - they're built for that. I ain't. I'm more of a character guy.
Jamie Foxx
You guys have so much energy. I threw a party in Toronto and there were, like, 4,000 people who couldn't get in.
Jamie Foxx
