More quotes by Ice Cube
The creative process of making a movie really turned me on. I'd started getting behind the scenes with a camcorder and VHS tape when making music videos.
Ice Cube
You don't have to be super clean to be a super star
Ice Cube
You wanna be remembered for making an impact and changing things. I guess for the good or for the bad, it don't matter. But I guess you just wanna be remembered when it's all said and done.
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
Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall with a joint, drinking some eight-ball.
Ice Cube
If the day did not require an AK then it was good

I've always gotten good grades, you know, with my teachers and my English teachers, 'cause I was able to - they'd say, What did you do for the summer? I'm able to explain it to them in a written form. And my teachers always patted me on the back for that, being able to take what's in my mind and put it on paper.

The moral is that a career can be gone in an instant. And all you have in this world are the people you love.
Ice Cube
You pay to have a good time, you don't always want to pay to be schooled or sad or reminded how bad you got it. To me a movie theater ain't always the place for that.
Ice Cube
They thought we were just basically keeping ourselves underground on purpose. And it was just strange for people to approach music that way. And for rap, trying to get recognition, and be seen as a regular form of music like anything else. I mean, the Soul, R&B, Rock 'N Roll, they would dis the hell out of rap when it first came out.
Ice Cube
We should love the fact that we're not just getting one point of view. That we have this diversity in entertainment, and people are not scared to be themselves, and people are not scared to make people uncomfortable, and that's all part of it. That's all part of being free.
Ice Cube
We have to step up as adults and try to guide our youth.
Ice Cube
I hear about people getting shot all the time. But most of the guys you hear about getting shot pulled through.
Ice Cube
You ask me, Did I like Arsenio? About as much as the Bicentennial.
Ice Cube
To be the cream of the crop is no easy feat. It's a big deal.
Ice Cube
Never question the size of Ice Cube's balls!

Early in my career, people wanted to hear music about protest, about trying to change things.
