More quotes by Ice Cube
Truth is the ultimate power. When the truth comes around, all the lies have to run and hide.
Ice Cube
You always want your kids to step up at the moment of truth.
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
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.

Music has done a lot to enhance the emotions of sports. It's played in arenas. Whenever there is footage cut together they're always using music. And it goes together, you know.

I wake up at 5:30, 6 in the morning, but don't head into the office right away. I like to hang out with my wife, talk about things, get some coffee, you know.

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.

Creating is really what I like to do. The best thing in the world is to have an idea in the back of your head and then to make that idea into a movie and have people all over the world enjoy it.
Ice Cube
I grew up in the seventies and disco was big. That influenced me the most.
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
I don't think people should try to force their will on their family.
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
My movies work because not many people in Hollywood are like me.
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.
Ice Cube
I knew a dude whose entire check was going to his car. He didn't care. This is back when the Mustang 5.0 came out in, like, '82. Between paying the note and insurance, I think he had like $40 left. A lot of people knew people because of their car, and not them.
Ice Cube
Most of the problems that we have are brought on by the government and not by music. Music is a mirror of what we're going through, not the cause of what we're going through.
Ice Cube
I'm a good counter comedian. I can just work it off with looks, or have something crazy to say back. That works for me.
Ice Cube
There's a lot of talent in South Central L.A., in Compton and Long Beach and Watts, and the city north of Pico pretty much sits back and waits for that talent to emerge and then steps in.
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.
