More quotes by Ice Cube
I don't cook gumbo, but I just know it's a lot of good ingredients in it. And, with a movie, you got to have all those ingredients.
Ice Cube
Once you figure out what your own thing is it's all about trying to develop shows, programs that can, I guess, enhance what you already have and what you can add to Hollywood.
Ice Cube
I’m a B-boy at heart. I still like rhyming. It’s just the radio game is like Chinese arithmetic. It’s hard to know what nuts to crack. But I still love music, been dropping music. Never stopped really.
Ice Cube
Our records, if you have a dark sense of humor, were funny, but our records weren't about comedy. They were about protests, fantasy, confrontation and all that.
Ice Cube
I'm not the type of actor who is trying to do a whole bunch of different shit, you know what I mean?
Ice Cube
I've never really taken myself too serious. That's everybody else, listening to the music or whatever. I've always said what I've felt, said what I thought was right, but I've always had a comedic bone.
Ice Cube
I figured, when I make a movie, especially earlier in my career, one thing I was going to make sure was that the movie doesn't cost a lot and that it has potential to make a lot of money. That's how you get respect in Hollywood.
Ice Cube
I feel like I got a whole lot of living to do before I think about summing it up in a book.
Ice Cube
Money is the root of all evil. Yeah, money is the root. It's not racism and this-ism and that-ism it's our thirst and hunger for money. And that's where all the bodies are buried.
Ice Cube
Comedies in Hollywood is usually the path of least resistance when it comes to being black in Hollywood and putting movies together. They would rather make us laugh than cry, in some respect.
Ice Cube
If you really think back to the culture or just black America before rap music took off, New York could have been Paris.
Ice Cube
But with rap music - not just N.W.A. - but rap music in general, seeing these artists wearing these team logos all the time started bringing a synergy and energy about having to rep your city, your team, everywhere and all the time.
Ice Cube
I'm always kind of off to the next movie, and focused on making sure that the one I'm currently working on is as good as the one that's already on TV.
Ice Cube
Truth is the ultimate power. When the truth comes around, all the lies have to run and hide.
Ice Cube
Are We There Yet? was the perfect title, because it's such a common saying. And having made the movie with the same name kinda locks it all in.
Ice Cube
Run DMC brought us out of that underground-only feel. They brought rap above ground and made it respectable as an art form to mainstream music.
Ice Cube
Ice Cube is the piece of me that I give away to the public.
Ice Cube
I was trying to be the best rapper in the world. I wasn't thinking about acting.
Ice Cube
I'm the most successful person in my generation of family members, and that sucks.
Ice Cube
Embrace what makes up you. Some stereotypes are true - I love chicken, but that's a stereotype, I love f**king basketball, but that's a stereotype, too. But who cares? Embrace it. Be who you are, and don't be ashamed of what that is.
Ice Cube
