More quotes by Ice Cube
I'm the most successful person in my generation of family members, and that sucks.
Ice Cube
I'm not trying to turn into Eddie Murphy, and just do kids movies the rest of my career. I'm going to still do a wide variety of movies, as well as do hardcore rap.
Ice Cube
I love performing. I'll never get that out of me.
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
Early in my career, people wanted to hear music about protest, about trying to change things.

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.

I was a very interested arts student, I was always into that part of school and when I got into high school I went into architectural drafting. It gave me an understanding of how to build things and it’s really helped me put things in perspective. With my music and my movies, to me it’s all art.

[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
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
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
No matter what part of the country you come from, you can always come together to make groundbreaking hip-hop.
Ice Cube
It's funny how people who ain't never been down there can think that America is so fair and that we should be alright. It's funny that the people who have their foot on our neck are telling us, 'Get up. What's wrong with you?'
Ice Cube
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 become a writer on a television show, and you see yourself doing bigger and better things, you don't wait till they tell you, Here's the way to do bigger and better things, you start writing. You start writing that material that you might be doing off to the side. Nobody's going to be paying you for that, but it could turn into something b
Ice Cube
What I learned from architectural drafting is that everything has to have a plan to work. You just can't wing it. I can't get all the materials I need for a house and just start building. Whether it's a career, family, life - you have to plan it out.
Ice Cube
When you go to a movie, you don't care for one Oscar, really. Do you care if a guy got a Oscar on the shelf or is it a good movie? And, you don't care how much the movie made.
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
I identify with the bottom of the pyramid, because, outside of having money, I am at the bottom of the pyramid.
