I'm A Southern Gentleman.

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.

My Grandmother Would Say, 'make Sure You Look Good. Make Sure You Speak Well. Make Sure You Remain That Southern Gentleman That I've Taught You To Be.'

Having A Stage Name Is Like Having A Superman Complex. I Go Into The Telephone Booth As Eric Bishop And Come Out As 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.

In Our Music, In Our Everyday Life, There Are So Many Negative Things. Why Not Have Something Positive And Stamp It With Blackness?
