More quotes by 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 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
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
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
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 really wanted to just be a musician. I didn't want to be anything else, but I was funny and all 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
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
I live young and I keep the weight off of me.
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
What we do in New Orleans, man - we party!
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
Guys don't adapt as well as women do to getting their heart broken for the first time. It's tragic.
Jamie Foxx
Lil Wayne is a music god!!!!
Jamie Foxx
But don't get caught out there looking goofy. It's weird. When you do something that stinks, it's going to last forever on the Internet. There's always someone in the audience with a camera phone and if you're not 100%, you're going to be watching yourself on YouTube.
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.
Jamie Foxx
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
What I've noticed is that when people win huge and they have those huge, huge successes, sometimes they forget about the actual acting of it, and sometimes it's hard to come down from their perch.
Jamie Foxx
I think girls have to play a little hard to get because we come with so much bravado.
Jamie Foxx
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
