More quotes by 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
Black people are the most talented people in the world.
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
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
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 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
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
I'm a southern gentleman.
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
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
Lil Wayne is a music god!!!!
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'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 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
Give it up for Ray Charles and his beautiful legacy. And thank you, Ray Charles, for living.
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 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
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
