Jamie Foxx's quotes

[on wearing prosthetic eyelids which made him blind in Ray (2004)] After six hours of being blind, you lose the sense of how a person is physically. It was amazing to hear the little buzzing voices all around you.
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.
[on creating the name Jamie Foxx when he first started in show business] The way I looked at the whole situation was, if I fail as Jamie Foxx, I'll just change my name and come back as something else.
When a project becomes magic and special it means that at certain points in the script it parallels your story.
[on riding a galloping horse in Django Unchained (2012)] On the outside, I look like Django, but on the inside I was Little Richard. "Oh no, Jesus! Jesus! Jesus, stop this horse!"
[on Kanye West's 2020 Presidential Bid]Ain't Got Time for the Bullsh*t
