Jamie Foxx

Tavis: He's back. Terrell, Texas in the house.

Jamie Foxx: (Unintelligible) T-town.

Tavis: T-town. Jamie Foxx is here, and we're glad to have him. The Oscar winner is out this weekend with a new film called "The Kingdom." In it, he plays an FBI agent investigating a terrorist bombing in the Middle East. The movie also stars Jennifer Garner and Chris Cooper. Here now, a scene from "The Kingdom."

[Clip]

Tavis: I'm not that guy.

Foxx: You better understand it.

Tavis: I'm not that guy.

Foxx: It was great. We actually went over to Abu Dhabi, too.

Tavis: Abu Dhabi. Good to see you, man.

Foxx: Good to see you, man.

Tavis: You doing all right?

Foxx: I'm good, man.

Tavis: What was it like? With all the talk about the -

Foxx: Oh, man (unintelligible) -

Tavis: Go ahead.

Foxx: That's OJ texting me, man. (Laughter) OJ sends me this text -

Tavis: That's OJ?

Foxx: Talking about a little bail money, or something. (Laughter) What is wrong with us, man? Why is O.J. (unintelligible) -

Tavis: Hey, since you went there, what do you make of it?

Foxx: I think O.J.'s bipolar. I don't think he understands. Look, I tell this story all the time. I was actually throwing a party in Miami, and it was a lot of White people there, because it was Miami, (laughter) and everybody was in there, Eddie Murphy, Shaq was in there, and all of a sudden I see people rustling and everything, and it's OJ coming through the crowd.

Tavis: In the party?

Foxx: In the party. And you know it was all comedians there, so I grabbed the mic and said, “Oh, man, we got a killer party.” (Laughter) And he actually was, like. He (unintelligible). (Laughter) And then he actually ran up on me into the booth. This is a true story; people think I'm joking. He came in the booth with me and he shook my hand (unintelligible) yeah, I heard them jokes. I said, “Hey.” He had that killer strength.

Tavis: He gotta come out the house sometime, man.

Foxx: I guess, but I just - I would suggest that he would stay home so we don't have to be embarrassed.

Tavis: It is kind of crazy. What makes you - and this is all, of course, allegations - allegations.

Foxx: Allegations.

Tavis: Innocent till proven guilty. What makes a Negro think when you OJ you can break into somewhere?

Foxx: You know what it is? It's a weird thing about what we're going through, like, in the press right now, because you can just literally be famous for anything. So sometimes people just want to just be in that limelight, so for whatever reason. And I think after OJ - I'm not saying that he did the crime. (Laughter) But I think he may know a little something-something about it.

Tavis: Yeah, I got you.

Foxx: But I think after he was proven innocent, he became this beast of a personality, right - kind of, like, untouchable. So I think that's what he's going through (unintelligible).

Tavis: Now you know -

Foxx: Along with some over-the-counter medication. (Laughter)

Tavis: Now you know Fred Goldman's watching right now, all seriously, he's gonna say, "Jamie - " he's going to email you. Fred Goldman's gonna text you next and he's gonna say, "He was not proven innocent; he was found not guilty."

Foxx: Well, I -

Tavis: That's a big distinction (unintelligible).

Foxx: I don't wanna get too - I wasn't in - I didn't have nothing to do with it. (Laughter)

Tavis: I'm just saying.

Foxx: I'm just saying.

Tavis: I'm just saying. All right.

Foxx: Me and O.J. don't roll that tight.

Tavis: (Laughter) Let's move off of -

Foxx: But it's weird how we are connected with everything, like any time someone Black, it happens that you're connected with them. Michael Vick, OJ.

Tavis: There's an old adage - who was it? Anna Julia Cooper, Black woman who was at Bennett College, the all-women's Black college, who said once, as I recall, Jamie, that - how does the line go? When and where we enter, the whole race enters with us.

Foxx: That's true.

Tavis: When and where we enter, the whole race - to your point, one person acts a fool, everybody -

Foxx: We all act - and I'll quote someone, too, another philosopher - Huggy Bear (unintelligible) "Starsky & Hutch." (Laughter)

Tavis: That great philosopher, Huggy Bear. Yeah.

Foxx: No, no, but anyway, yeah.

Tavis: But it's a fascinating -

Foxx: Yo, Starsk. (Laughter)

Tavis: It's true, though. We all get lumped that way.

Foxx: Yeah, it's true, because we are connected in that way. And then, like I've always said, we do kind of root for our own, you know what I'm saying? Even though it's bad - like even with the Michael Vick thing, and I caught a lot of flak for sort of speaking up for Michael Vick, but I just felt bad for the brother just messing up so bad.

Tavis: I don't know if it was your joke or somebody's joke - the punch line was, with regard to OJ, what must it be like to have all the White people hate you?

Foxx: Yeah.

Tavis: We all experience a little White supremacy every now and then -

Foxx: But to have -

Tavis: But when all of the White people hate you -

Foxx: Yeah, even the cool white people. Even Justin Timberlake don't like him. (Laughter)

Tavis: That's a problem.

Foxx: And you know he's trying to be Black. (Laughter)

Tavis: That's the problem.

Foxx: (Unintelligible). Anyway.

Tavis: You got a movie coming out tomorrow.

Foxx: Man.

Tavis: "The Kingdom." So you went to Abu Dhabi.

Foxx: We got a chance to go to Abu Dhabi and experience the culture. And what was beautiful about this movie also too is that they show the Islamic culture, or the Middle East culture in a different way. In the movie, they show a guy who's a sort of police officer with his family, eating, wanting his family to be successful and prosper, and things that we don't get a chance to see sometimes in the propaganda machine that we're going through.

So that's what was beautiful about this film, and the actual plot is we track a murderer who's actually hiding behind the veil of Islam to commit crime. So I hook up with this guy by the name of Ashrav (ph) who's, like I said, the Saudi police officer. And then we go and try to extract this guy from this evil place. And what you don't see a lot of times is someone from the Middle East saying that there is a problem - there is a problem with radical ways of thinking that just because you disagree with someone doesn't mean that you have to go and commit these crimes, and then someone who's just actually hiding behind that veil to get away with it. So it's a real heartfelt story.

Tavis: Let me set the movie aside for just a second.

Foxx: Sure.

Tavis: I know what the movie - you just shared with us what the movie tells us and shows us in terms of a more complex and holistic view of the life of Islam and persons who practice the faith. What did you see? Here we are, now, in a country where we're getting all this propaganda. What did Jamie Foxx see while you were there?

Foxx: First of all, for any American out there, Black, White, Red, or Brown, you need to get a passport. If we get passports and get a chance to travel past borders, we get a better understanding of what people are about. Because less than 15 percent of Americans have passports. There are guys in L.A. who've never been to the beach.

There's guys in Texas who've never flown to Florida. So when you go there, you see regular life. Now of course there is certain places that you probably couldn't go or that are hotbed areas, but at the same time it's just like we live, only a different culture. And they don't necessarily view everything that we do as this bad thing.

So different rules, however, when you get over there, like you couldn't do certain things. Like shaking hands was a different symbol, or doing this meant something - and you know me, I come off the plane doing all (unintelligible).

Tavis: Yeah, doing all kind of crazy things.

Foxx: But other than that, it's just basic life and you don't get a chance to see that, like I said, a lot of times in the news.

Tavis: Did I read somewhere - and I don't believe everything I read - but did I read somewhere that your father is a Muslim?

Foxx: My father's Muslim.

Tavis: Your father's a Muslim.

Foxx: Yeah, yeah, and we always have those conversations.

Tavis: Yeah, I'm sure.

Foxx: Going back - well, you know the honorable (unintelligible). I said, “Come on, man, let's just go to the park and kick it.” (Laughter) Because sometimes, when you deal with so much - like the religious views - like what I always tell people, whatever you believe that keeps you grounded and keeps you spiritual or keeps you connected to whatever it is, whether it be Allah, Buddha, God - I'm Southern Baptist - whatever it is, I think you should be able to do that, to have that in your life, without the other part. Without the just because you believe in the blue suit and I believe in the red suit or whatever it is then we have an issue with it.

Tavis: I almost asked - and I didn't wanna get to personal, even though we know each other well. I almost asked whether you were a religious person, and I almost shot myself in the head. I'm like, this Negro grew up in the church.

Foxx: Oh yeah. Oh, you come from Southern, you -

Tavis: He grew up playing in the church.

Foxx: - you'll never get away from that. And of course, as you get older, you expand your religion. A lot of times I tell people you have expand your religion for what's going on today. When I moved to California and met 81 different countries in college, that's 81 different countries, 81 different people that have different ways of thinking. So you do have to expand your religion, but you know where your base is.

Tavis: How was this - for all the work that you have done, including "The Kingdom" and everything else - how was this Walk of Fame honor the other day?

Foxx: Oh, man, incredible.

Tavis: (Unintelligible) A Negro got a star.

Foxx: Man, a star.

Tavis: And first of all, (unintelligible) not how was it - here's the real question. Where did they put your star? Are you next to Rin Tin Tin? Or are you next to -

Foxx: 'Cause I was a little worried, I thought they were gonna put me right -

Tavis: Where is your star?

Foxx: - right next to Ryan Seacrest or something. (Laughter) Hi, Ryan. No, my star is right next to Halle Berry. Holler.

Tavis: Halle pregnant.

Foxx: Halle - yeah, but I've been going out with Halle now, in my mind, (laughter) for about eight years, and I know she's pregnant and everything, but I share in that.

Tavis: Did your heart sink, too?

Foxx: It did, kind of.

Tavis: (Unintelligible) same thing, man.

Foxx: Now, why do you feel that way? Do you feel like we have -

Tavis: I don't know.

Foxx: You know (unintelligible) ain't got a chance.

Tavis: You know you ain't got a shot, exactly.

Foxx: But once she got pregnant, I really went damn, this is gonna make it tougher. (Laughter) I'm gonna have to work around this kid.

Tavis: I think - (laughter).

Foxx: We gonna have to do a timeshare with the kid.

Tavis: I think every brother in America who ain't got a shot felt the same way.

Foxx: Oh, it hurt me, it hurt me, man.

Tavis: Like, oh, no.

Foxx: And I don't even know the dude, so I guess he's good looking for a White dude (unintelligible).

Tavis: Yeah, he's a really good looking White dude.

Foxx: Yeah, I guess, yeah. She blew it. (Laughter) She should have been with someone who was just going - well, that wasn't gonna be (unintelligible). (Laughter) But I still love her.

Tavis: The last time I saw you, I saw you and you didn't see me, and I didn't want to come back and bogart -

Foxx: Well, what was going on?

Tavis: I caught your concert tour.

Foxx: Wow.

Tavis: I was in the audience one night, and I didn't bust backstage (unintelligible) tell him Tavis is out here; tell him Tavis is out here.

Foxx: Yeah, yeah.

Tavis: But the music and the comedy, you mixed it up.

Foxx: Yeah, yeah, mixed it up, yeah.

Tavis: That was a wonderful thing; I enjoyed it.

Foxx: Thank you.

Tavis: You had fun?

Foxx: I had a great time with the concert. Being able to go back to my roots with the comedy, like a lot of the promoters was, like, well, Jamie, you've changed now. You have the Oscar now, so you should tell your jokes (laughter) more - my house is in escrow. I said, “Man, are you kidding me?” I said, “I'm gonna be in Detroit, I'm going to be in Oakland.” And it was good to get back and let them see that things haven't changed as far as that, keeping it ground level.

Tavis: For those who haven't seen it, how would you describe how you specifically uniquely make comedy and music work together on the same show?

Foxx: I'll tell you what it is. Going out to do the jokes -

Tavis: Telling a joke, then you sing "Infatuation." (Unintelligible.)

Foxx: Yeah, you tell the jokes first, it's kind of like getting everybody loose, letting the homies know that I'm still with them (unintelligible) doing my jokes or whatever like that, crack them up. Then I come back and I say, “Fellas, you can stick around if you want to, but this is for the ladies.” And then we go into the music. And a great transition, because now you kind of get everything. Now this is our first time doing it, and we'll perfect it.

Like I think the second time we'll come out we'll have the album will be hotter, because we didn't go out when the album was really hot. It was, like, two years afterward. But the next time we go, we'll fix those things that didn't work, and the things that did work were enhanced.

Tavis: How often - how many times per show do you hear catcalls from the audience for Wanda? Does it happen all the time?

Foxx: Yeah. And this -

Tavis: All the time.

Foxx: And I love that, because I look at it now how you're sort of building your body of work, and that you have to address those fans, too. You don't wanna kind of leave them (unintelligible) -

Tavis: But you are an Academy Award winner, Jamie. You ain't gotta be Wanda no more.

Foxx: No, no, no. You see guys - you ever see somebody out that's like your favorite actor and you say, “Yo, man, do that,” and they go, “Hey, come on, man.”

I'll never forget, it was one girl, I won't call no names - Michael Michelle - from (laughter) "New Jack City," and you know that was my movie. And so we see the - I said, "There go the light-skinned babe in the 'New Jack City', you know what I'm saying?"

So all the homies, (unintelligible) going oh, man, we loved you in "New Jack City." "Of all the things I've done, and that's all you can remember?" And I was, like, “Well, hell. (Laughter) I'm glad Nino Brown cut you off. (Laughter) Cancel this. I'll (unintelligible). Yeah. Is that what this is about? (Unintelligible) See ya. Wouldn't wanna be ya.”

Tavis: Now you know you set yourself up -

Foxx: And Wesley always says, “Huh. Huh, yeah. Huh. (Laughter) Sit your five-dollar ass down before I make change.”

Tavis: See, Wesley had some drama, too. O.J. ain't the only one, man.

Foxx: Man, Wesley - what's going on with that? I'm just trying to stay right, Tavis. (Laughter) Man, keep me on your speed dial, man, because you know I'm (unintelligible). I might (unintelligible) and do something, too, man. I don't wanna come down on him too hard. Huh, taxes? Is that what this is about? (Laughter) I don't give (unintelligible) about taxes. You can cut that out.

Tavis: You're killing me. (Laughs) You're killing me. Did I read somewhere that you have -

Foxx: I don't know.

Tavis: - of all things - again, I don't believe everything I read, but this was a little suspect. It said, “Jamie Foxx has an avocado farm.”

Foxx: I do.

Tavis: That's true?

Foxx: I have an avocado farm. I got, like, 40 -

Tavis: Avocado farm?

Foxx: Avocado farm, out over in - I can't say exactly where it is because people will (unintelligible) -

Tavis: They'll steal your avocados.

Foxx: But I'm out there in the country. I got that guacamole for you, man. (Laughter) I'm pushing that guacamole like crack, too, (laughter) because they were saying that I could make, like, $100,000 a year so I could pay my little property tax, you know what I'm saying? So I'm pushing - I got the guacamole on tap.

Tavis: But Jamie, out in (laughter) -

Foxx: I'm telling you. And it's a trip, because like I think Ellen asked me, people kind of like try to make you feel in adequate, because I didn't really know what kind of avocados I got. So she said, "Well, what kind are they?" And I said, "Well, African American." (Laughter) I don't know, I guess there's some kind of -

Tavis: Is there more than one kind of avocado?

Foxx: I don't know. I just said, “Well, they Black avocados, I guess.” But I got a guy out there who tills the land and everything like that, this cat Mario, and I saw - and for whatever reason, the avocados produce extremely abundant, and it's because he talks to them. Because as I was driving (unintelligible) I saw him out there, (unintelligible).

Tavis: So you got a avocado farm and a cat that you pay who talks to your avocados.

Foxx: Yeah, he actually talks to them, and tills the land. He has his own -

Tavis: How much does that job pay?

Foxx: I can't really divulge, because I told him I'd give him some premiere tickets or something like that, kind of supplement the income.

Tavis: I like to talk. On the weekend, I can do some part-time work, talking to the avocados.

Foxx: It's really great, and it's really Texas for me. Because like where it is it's like it looks like Texas, look like Montana, and it is beautiful, man.

Tavis: So, like, are you going to be like Paul Newman one day, and you're gonna have Jamie's Avocado Dip or something?

Foxx: You gotta have some kind - look at Fifty. Vitamin water, everybody, vitamin water.

Tavis: And here you come with your avocados.

Foxx: So I'm going to come with the avocados - that guacamole. (Laughter) I got that green.

Tavis: Oh, man. Turning 40.

Foxx: Turning 40.

Tavis: This year.

Foxx: Four-zero.

Tavis: Come on and join us, come on and join us.

Foxx: (Unintelligible) what?

Tavis: I'm 40 already - I'm 40 already, come on; you can come and join us. It's good. It's good, it's good.

Foxx: Yeah, but I feel good. I feel good at 40; I can't wait. It's gonna be - and I'm gonna have a - my part is actually -

Tavis: I was about to say -

Foxx: - gonna be - I'm going to get on a bus and just come to a city near you. I'm going door-to-door with my party.

Tavis: He's gonna take it around the country.

Foxx: And I'm gonna end up in Miami and we're gonna do a "New Jack City" thing. So I'm going to be Nino Brown for my (unintelligible).

Tavis: So you gonna party all across the country on a bus from California to Miami.

Foxx: (Unintelligible) keep going, keep going. We gonna have a ball.

Tavis: So Negros just may see you in their town.

Foxx: You may see me anywhere.

Tavis: On your party bus.

Foxx: You might see me in Arkansas doing my thing. Poughkeepsie. Holler at your boy. (Laughter) But it's going to be (unintelligible). We're gonna drink 40 ounces and just bring it in.

Tavis: And the word in town - and, well, I know this, and I've been to a couple of them, but the word in town is you know how to throw a party, man.

Foxx: I think it's necessary.

Tavis: Yeah. (Laughs)

Foxx: I think it's necessary that you have a way out as long as you don't go too overboard or anything like that.

Tavis: Now, what are the ingredients of throwing a good party?

Foxx: I think for one you have to have people in there that want to go to the other side. (Laughter) So a lot of times, you have (unintelligible) -

Tavis: They wanna cross over.

Foxx: Yeah, you have (unintelligible) everybody's behind the shades and stuff, bumping into everything in the club and stuff like that, trying to be cool. But I think that when you set the party up and there's people in there that really want to have a good time and feel cool about having a good time, that's what it's all about.

And when they see you having a good time, it's a (unintelligible). Just be careful with the camera phones, because they will YouTube you. (Laughter) You will be on YouTube.

Tavis: So what's your - since you went there, what's your worst YouTube experience?

Foxx: Oh, my God, for some reason, they always catch me with some - like a White girl or something. I'm never - I don't mess around with no White girls.

Tavis: You lying Negro.

Foxx: In public.

Tavis: In public. (Laughter)

Foxx: They always catch me somewhere with a snowflake or something. (Laughter) Look at Jamie's ass, always up in some White girl face. I said, "She was actually bringing me my money." (Laughter) You know this is all jokes, (unintelligible).

Tavis: Yeah.

Foxx: (Unintelligible) You know I'm telling the truth. I've seen him plenty of times. I've seen him all in Woodland Hills and Calabasas. Because that's, like, the designated -

Tavis: Designated area, I got you.

Foxx: The designated area for (unintelligible). We always have a White girl area. Gotta go out, gotta go out.

Tavis: I figured you were (unintelligible) that -

Foxx: But Black people are moving out.

Tavis: Everywhere.

Foxx: Yeah, you can be out somewhere and thinking you safe, and they having a Compton field trip. You're like oh, my goodness.

Tavis: Now, I didn't see this. I was traveling, I didn't see it, but I think I got this right. I heard that - was it you that clowned the two White boys - speaking of White folk - the two White boys fighting at the thing the other night?

Foxx: Oh, yeah, with Tommy Lee - yeah.

Tavis: Did you clown (unintelligible)? I heard you clowned them.

Foxx: White on White crime, baby.

Tavis: Yeah, White on White crime.

Foxx: Yeah, I'm glad it was them and not us. It almost turned into the (unintelligible) for a minute. (Laughter) But I guess Tommy Lee and -

Tavis: What's his name, Kid Rock?

Foxx: Kid Rock, yeah. They got (unintelligible) -

Tavis: Got to scrapping?

Foxx: Got to scrapping over the little babe, over Pamela Anderson. I didn't know she still had it like that. I guess it's (laughter) (unintelligible) thing.

Tavis: You ever scrapped over a honey?

Foxx: Have I ever - no, man. I'm a lover, not a fighter, man. (Laughter) If we gotta fight over it, man, you go ahead and take it, man.

Tavis: Yeah. So you never scrapped over it.

Foxx: I ain't never scrapped over - I don't think.

Tavis: You ever had two scrap over you?

Foxx: (Laughter) No, man, I don't think so, I don't think so. Have I? No.

Tavis: So this is very uncomfortable, but what are you saying to sisters who ask you - I know you're getting asked this a thousand times - when is Jamie getting married? When is Jamie gonna settle down?

Foxx: No, I don't think that's going to be the right thing to do. (Laughter) To get married right now. Because I see my friends that do get married, and they start out so good, and then the next thing you know it goes bad, and it just goes so bad. And so I don't know if I wanna go through that, because being hurt -

Tavis: Hurts.

Foxx: It hurts. (Laughter) And especially when you think you have it all together and everything. Because I'm doing my album and everything like that, and I did a song called "All the Money in the World, and She Still Cheated On Me." And so it's tough, especially being in this business, because this is a business where women sometimes have the upper hand, and they put little in front of what you do.

“I see your little movies and your little TV, that don't mean nothing.” And men want to be comfortable, so it's kind of tough in this business, because L.A. was the first time that I noticed that women are basically on the same level as men. I met a girl in L.A., when I first met her, say, like, it was a Monday. We went back to the crib and everything was great and everything went down.

The next morning it was breakfast, it was this, and I'm thinking oh, this is great, and she's pretty. And then Thursday, I see her at a club with another dude, and she speaks to me. "Hey, Jamie." I'm like, "Hey - " I almost called out her name. (Laughter) "Hey, (unintelligible)." "Hey, (unintelligible)." And she was, like, "Oh, I was telling Michael about you. You're so nice.

"He has the same Range Rover you have, only this year's. Bye." (Laughter) So you have to kind of put your mind around the fact that you are in this elevated position, and so you may not even be able to find someone who's really digging you for - I know that sounds weird, because it is you. But sometimes, when the heat is on you, it's a better fishing hole.

Tavis: Are you having difficulty determining the difference?

Foxx: I think you always - and you're in the business, too. So I think you always have that - people see you in a certain light, so if they see you in a certain light at that time, if that light goes out, then that's like, okay, well, what now? Because I've seen a lot of people that get together because they did a movie together and they were hot, and it was a promotion and they got married, and then two years later it's like, “Hmm, make the same thing.” So just being careful of that.

Tavis: To your point about the light going out, do you ever - you're so busy right now, and you are so in the zone right now. Do you ever give any thought at all to what you do when the light goes out? And not really goes out; in your case, you're so talented. But it will go dim. Nobody stays on top forever. (Unintelligible) think about that?

Foxx: You know what? It's two things. Not necessarily the light going out, but what do I do when it's just, like you said, dim? What do you do on that Sunday when you don't have anything to do on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday? So that kind of worries me a little bit, as far as, like, will I be bored to death? So what we try to do is busy ourselves in other things.

Tavis: Like avocados.

Foxx: Avocados, guacamole, or producing or doing something that you can still feed that muscle, but don't - try not to buy into the I gotta be hot all the time. I like playing the back a lot, like even in movies in the situations like playing the Ed McMahon as opposed to the Johnny Carson, because at one point, it will go dim. But you can look at other people and sort of pattern yourselves after them.

You can look at Eddie Murphy and try to go that route, or look at Bill Cosby and maybe go that route. So you just have to - I don't know, have to keep your fingers crossed.

Tavis: I got 30 seconds here. So I know Kanye's your boy, so I assume you have Kanye in that fight.

Foxx: Oh yeah, for sure, for sure.

Tavis: He spanked him a little bit, didn't he?

Foxx: He spanked him up a little bit, you know what I'm saying?

Tavis: He spanked him up.

Foxx: Go get you some vitamin water. (Laughter) Wash that down. Did Fifty retire? He was supposed to retire.

Tavis: He said he's gonna retire if he got beat. I don't know if he retired or not.

Foxx: Well, he's sitting on all that water, so he's good.

Tavis: He all right. Fifty got water, Jamie got that guacamole for you.

Foxx: Yeah, and "The Kingdom."

Tavis: "The Kingdom" tomorrow.

Foxx: Yeah, (unintelligible).

Tavis: "The Kingdom," starring Jamie Foxx, opens tomorrow. Jamie, always a pleasure to have you here.

Foxx: Thanks, man. Thank you.

Tavis: Appreciate you and love you, man.
