QUOTES BY Jamie Foxx


If I fail as Jamie Foxx, I'll just change my name and come back as something else.

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.

You guys have so much energy. I threw a party in Toronto and there were, like, 4,000 people who couldn't get in.

What we do in New Orleans, man - we party!

As black folks we're always sensitive. As a black person it's always racial.

Nobody wants to hear R&B. It's sad. If you want to be on the radio you got to stay young.

I think girls have to play a little hard to get because we come with so much bravado.

When your movie is hot, your options are crazy.

I love music. I've always wanted to do music, even when I started out as a comedian.
