More quotes by 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
I think that my Let's get it done! Let's have fun! Let's make a great movie! attitude helped. I rarely have problems on my movies with egos and attitudes.
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
I've never really taken myself too serious. That's everybody else, listening to the music or whatever. I've always said what I've felt, said what I thought was right, but I've always had a comedic bone.
Ice Cube
I go light on breakfast. Sometimes it's a yogurt, but a lot of times it's leftovers from one of my wife's dinners.

Ice Cube
Sports without music is just a game. Music makes it entertaining.
Ice Cube
The thing is with hip-hop, it has its waves and the waves crash against the beach and the new waves come in. So to stay relevant you have to roll with 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
The '80s was brand new. It was AIDS. It was gangbanging. It was starting to become big dope-dealing, and crack was starting to flood the neighborhoods. And then you had hip hop, which was something new, other than what we were doing, which was sports, playing football, basketball, baseball. And I was excited.
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
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.
Ice Cube
I love performing. I'll never get that out of me.
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
Truth is the ultimate power. When the truth comes around, all the lies have to run and hide.
Ice Cube
Run DMC brought us out of that underground-only feel. They brought rap above ground and made it respectable as an art form to mainstream music.
Ice Cube
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
The silver and black may have another home, but the Raiders will always belong to the people of Los Angeles.
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 always want your kids to step up at the moment of truth.
