More quotes by 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
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
I think girls have to play a little hard to get because we come with so much bravado.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
If you can, always be appreciative of the ebb and flow of the losses and the wins.
Jamie Foxx
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
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
What we do in New Orleans, man - we party!
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
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
When you're an actor or actress in this business, usually the natural progression is to direct, but a lot of times, we don't get a chance to get to it. Myself, I really want to get into it. I want to be the person who eventually doesn't have to be in front of the camera.
Jamie Foxx
I'm a southern gentleman.

Lil Wayne is a music god!!!!
