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.

More quotes by Jamie Foxx
You gotta have the balls to go out there and be funny, man.

I want to be the person who eventually doesn't have to be in front of the camera. I can be behind the camera and really change things cinematically, and this is giving me an opportunity to do something behind the camera, which I really want to maximize.
Jamie Foxx
Lil Wayne is a music god!!!!
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?

A lot of people may not know how competitive it is to play classical music, because when you think about it, the music that you're playing is music that's been here for years. And all you're trying to do is improve upon it when you play.

Quentin Tarantino is a hip-hop artist. I told him, You're hip-hop! You keep seeing surprises, and a clip here and there, because Quentin is hip-hop. A hip-hop artist will drop a single, leak something over here, and drop something over there 'cause he knows it's hot. He's on the spot with the way he does things.

Now ballads, I can mess around and get up on somebody on a ballad. People ain't seen it yet, but I can mess around and get up in there. I've had Ruben Studdard up in my house, Brian McKnight, Tank. Every once in a while I throw down with them.
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
I don't know if I'm built for marriage.
Jamie Foxx
Black people are the most talented people in the world.
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
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
We can't wave a magic wand and get rid of any of these people's problems, but what they want is they want to be heard.
Jamie Foxx
(I get to) kill all the white people... How great is 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
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
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
Give it up for Ray Charles and his beautiful legacy. And thank you, Ray Charles, for living.
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.'
