I definitely support cop acting more than cops, but all of them ain't bad, just some of them.

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.

I think rap music is the sole reason for a lot of black acceptance in pop culture because the music is very popular, it gets our image out in other ways than in movies.
Ice Cube

For me rappers and dancers are poets and artists and often times the most interesting performances are given by them.

I'm always the less is more guy when it comes to a scene. So I'ma be the one who will keep it grounded. Even if I let it go off and go crazy, I'm still the voice of keeping things grounded in reality.
Ice Cube
Image
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.

I have great people, smart people that are around me and we love the challenge. I guess it's like climbing a mountain or building a building. It's a challenge but you love every challenge that it brings or presents itself.
Ice Cube
Image
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?'

You can't pussyfoot around. When you're talking to lions, you can't meow like a pussycat.
Ice Cube
Image
You have to resist falling in love with the money they [producers] want to give you. You have to really resist that, and you have to just think about the work and whether it's a movie that you would want to see.
Ice Cube
Image
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
Image
Don't get a movie confused with real life. I'm a well-rounded human being like everyone else.
Ice Cube
Image
I feel like I got a whole lot of living to do before I think about summing it up in a book.
Ice Cube
Image
If you love what you do, and you believe in your talent, there's nothing better than breaking through. There's no better feeling than breaking through.

Image
I get freedom out of hip-hop. I get to be a true artist without any shackles or harnesses.

Image
You want the industry to finally admit that you're good. But I'm still good without their admission.
