You know what? I never really factor Hollywood into anything. Im a black actor, so I cant 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. – Jamie Foxx
Ive had to be a man since I was 12 or 13. I had a job. And I was playing the piano for people twice my age. Handling responsibility is what makes a man a man. – Jamie Foxx
Man, after all my grandma put into me learning the piano, that was a hard day, telling her I was telling jokes for a living. – Jamie Foxx
Ive been a sports fan all my life, and like most other actors, Im convinced I could have been a pro athlete if Hollywood hadnt come calling. – Jamie Foxx
