Jamie Foxx
She still talks to me now, only now she talks to me in my dreams. And I can't wait to go to sleep tonight because we have a lot to talk about. I love you.

My Grandmother would say, 'Make sure you look good. Make sure you speak well. Make sure you remain that Southern gentleman that I've taught you to be.'
Jamie Foxx
I think there's grays in characters if you look at all the great characters, those characters that have those layers of being good and being bad and what's the struggle. It's always more interesting to watch.
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
Every two, three years there is a movie about the Holocaust because they want you to remember and they want you to be reminded of what it was. When was the last time you seen a movie about slavery?

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
What we do in New Orleans, man - we party!
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
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
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 went to college on a classical piano scholarship. My grandmother made me practice one full hour a day. Every day. Man. I thought all she wanted was for me not to have any fun. Next thing you know, you have a career in music. Now, not everybody's going to go on and be Mozart or Michael Jackson. But music makes you smarter.
Jamie Foxx
I don't know if I'm built for marriage.
Jamie Foxx
In black comedic culture, there's always been a thing about Man, I ain't gotta wear a dress to be funny! But I've done it.
Jamie Foxx
all of us feel special inside to where we feel as if we are the best, unique, or blessed. of course this is true, our error in this thought process is we forget that all the other people and all living things are just as special as we feel about ourselve.
Jamie Foxx
It's hard to be a celebrity nowadays. It's not about your track record anymore. If you have a great movie, you're good. If not, people are ready to write you off. I think the only ones who are really winning are people like Will Smith. People go, 'Oh, it's Will Smith. I've got to see him, whatever he's in.'
Jamie Foxx
if I fail as Jamie Foxx, I'll just change my name and come back as something else.
