More quotes by Jamie Foxx
Mike Tyson's life is one of the most amazing American stories.
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.

What's weird is when you meet a girl who is 23 and you are talking to her, even her voice is high-pitched, she's young. You ask her how old she is, she says, 'Twenty-three, how old are you?' and when I tell her I'm 41 it's like I've just told her I have cancer. It's, 'Oh my God, how long have you had that?'
Jamie Foxx
I'm bad on Valentine's Day, but even worse on Christmas. I go shopping at nine o'clock on December 24th every year. Nobody else is there. I'm in Toys'R'Us all by myself. I get there five minutes before closing.

Guys don't adapt as well as women do to getting their heart broken for the first time. It's tragic. I really wanted to be in love, get married, have kids and buy a wood-paneled station wagon for the family. But it didn't work out, and, boy, it wrecked it!
Jamie Foxx
I never planned to win an Oscar. When I auditioned for Ray, I was just thinking about what a great project it would be.
Jamie Foxx
You gotta have the balls to go out there and be funny, man.
Jamie Foxx
Being just an actor, sometimes people are like, Hey, man, we don't wanna see you no more, in front of the camera, and I don't want that.
Jamie Foxx
My worst hair experience was when I was trying to relax my hair and my grandmother did it. It went all straight and I looked like a black Bee Gee.
Jamie Foxx
I think girls have to play a little hard to get because we come with so much bravado.
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
if I fail as Jamie Foxx, I'll just change my name and come back as something else.
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
Yeah, anytime anybody has a kid, you know how you feel when you have a kid, you look at the world differently because your kid's in the world now. When it's just you, whatever happens happens but now you pay more attention to political things. You pay more attention to things because your daughter or your son has to deal with these circumstances.

I've been a sports fan all my life, and like most other actors, I'm convinced I could have been a pro athlete if Hollywood hadn't come calling.
Jamie Foxx
(I get to) kill all the white people... How great is that?
Jamie Foxx
Black people are the most talented people in the world.
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
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
