ADD QUOTES
- Jamie: (on if he were to play the first black James Bond) Of course I'd take the role. I'd put a little swing in it. A little hip-hop, you know. Maybe I wouldn't be drinking martinis, but drinking some Hennessey maybe. My Bond would drink dark liquor.
  Edit Share Hide
- Jamie (on his new Satellite Radio channel, "The Foxxhole"): SIRIUS Satellite Radio gives me the opportunity to create urban entertainment and programming like you have never heard on the radio.
  Edit Share Hide
- Jamie (revealing the most ridiculous thing he has ever bought was a $20,000 crocodile-skin jacket): I was in Las Vegas and some girls I was with were going on and on about this crocodile-skin jacket. In the end I just gave in and said, 'Alright, I'll take it!' It was crazy. Stupid. I've never worn it. It never matched anything and it didn't even fit properly. I don't even have the jacket now - I don't know where it is.
