More quotes by Ice Cube
I really appreciate family. I really can't imagine life without them!
Ice Cube
It's easier for me to get comedies made because of my track record. Everybody needs to find their niche. I love dramas, but I understand that I am still just a young man in moviemaking. I know there will be some time to get back to 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
There's not enough Ice Cubes out there. There's not enough Ice Cubes getting a chance to do their thing.
Ice Cube
I know I ain't too old. I always think of my fans about 10 years older and 10 years younger than me.
Ice Cube
I won't do anything for money. I won't compromise my manhood.
Ice Cube
Don't get a movie confused with real life. I'm a well-rounded human being like everyone else.
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
Can't step from one movie set to the next. Only Samuel L. Jackson can do that. All us mere mortals can't do that!
Ice Cube
Everybody that wants to be successful should always be careful of what you wish for. A lot of artists and entertainers want to put the genie back in the bottle and wish they could go back to being what they were.
Ice Cube
I love makin' music, so whether I'ma make money at it or not, I'ma still do it. The thing is, I've gotten to a point where I don't have to use music to make a livin', so I can do it for fun like I used to when I was young.
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 think my fans respect me for bein' as truthful and honest as you can be and still be Rap music and not be opinion music. It's still Rap, its still style, flavor, flair, and people just kind of like how I present myself and the things that I do.
Ice Cube
You got to get used to somebody, when you're acting or going through a scene, somebody yelling, Do it a little louder! OK, you do it a little louder.
Ice Cube
Sometimes when you're relegated to your neighborhood, you forget that there's more important things than your neighborhood going on out in the world. And that just gave me a chance to see how life could be. And it gave me a chance to interact with everybody, not just black people or Mexicans. It made me just a little more worldly.
Ice Cube
Hollywood is obsessed with police stories.
Ice Cube
I remember wishing there was snow in L.A. And how jealous we used to get of those Christmas specials with kids playing in the snow.
Ice Cube
I want to do more drama. Comedy is the path of least resistance for my company. People know we can do them. People know they get a good response. People want to make them. Who am I to push up against that?
Ice Cube
When I was six, God was a white man with a big beard riding on a white cloud. That's the image television pumps.
Ice Cube
Most of the problems that we have are brought on by the government and not by music. Music is a mirror of what we're going through, not the cause of what we're going through.
Ice Cube
