More quotes by Ice Cube
A good movie is a movie that you could see over and over again, not a movie that wins a Oscar, or a movie that makes a lot of money. It's a movie that you personally can watch over and over again. That, to me, is a measure of a good movie.
Ice Cube
You like a woman, she's got kids, it's a package. You can't just go in one-sided.
Ice Cube
You really have to challenge yourself to come out of those parameters that they put you in, even if that's your job.
Ice Cube
The real is always presented. That hardcore record or movie is not needed in the hood, because it's already there. You can see it with your own eyes.
Ice Cube
Our household is built on love and respect. And we don't really let negative vibes stay too long. It's worked out. I got a great family, great kids.
Ice Cube
A bird in the hand is worth more than a Bush.
Ice Cube
Do I gotta go sell me a whole lotta crack for decent shelter and clothes on my back?
Ice Cube
Nowadays, you can be yourself. You don't have to put on façade. You can be who you are and still be just as successful as the ones who put on the fake façade. You know, it's like reality is just as important as fiction.

[Make a sitcom] was really the idea of Executive Producer Joe Roth who owned the property over at Revolution Studios and said he was thinking about taking it to TV. And after he said that he already had [writer/director] Ali Leroi on board, and that he was going after Terry Crews, to me it was a no-brainer. I said, Let's put this together!
Ice Cube
I like to deal with things I heard about, ... People are always getting their house broken into around the holidays. That's when the crime rate goes up.
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
Gangsta to us didn't have anything to do with Al Capone and stuff like that. It's just about living your life the way you want to live it. And you're not going to let nothing stop you.
Ice Cube
It never gets old. Working with somebody like Kevin Hart is rejuvenating in a lot of ways. He's such a pro. He's so good.
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
I usually don't mind movies that people think go overboard because that's what art is all about. Art is about pushing us and making us examine ourselves.
Ice Cube
Don't want to hear my favorite rapper doin' a love song. If I want to hear something soft, I'll throw on Luther Vandross.
Ice Cube
My worst ever car was a green Datsun B210, back when they called it 'Datsun' - now it's 'Nissan.' Very unsexy, unattractive. Girls hated the car. I was embarrassed to even be in it but it was my transportation.
Ice Cube
I love performing. I'll never get that out of me.
Ice Cube
To me, it's my job not to laugh, no matter what's said. By the time we shoot, I'm ready for all that's coming. I probably do most of my breaking in rehearsals, when I know that I can.
Ice Cube
There's not enough Ice Cubes out there. There's not enough Ice Cubes getting a chance to do their thing.
