More quotes by Ice Cube
[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!

Anybody that really knew Tupac will tell you the same thing. That he was just a dude that was full of life, full of energy.
Ice Cube
I still enjoy doing music. I'm not going to stop doing it, and doing it the way that I feel it should be done.
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
Hollywood is obsessed with police stories.
Ice Cube
I figured, when I make a movie, especially earlier in my career, one thing I was going to make sure was that the movie doesn't cost a lot and that it has potential to make a lot of money. That's how you get respect in Hollywood.
Ice Cube
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
I hope everything works in our favor. The show is cool. It’s family fare. We ain’t aiming at the cheap seats. Instead, we’re making something with a broad appeal that people of any color or creed and from all walks of life can enjoy and maybe learn something from.
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
I wanted to go in a different direction, artistically. But having somebody like Terry[Crews] in it was your ace in the hole. That makes it very strong, so I definitely had to jump in with both feet.
Ice Cube
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.
Ice Cube
We're in this entertainment business really to give the audience what they want.
Ice Cube
I believe every pencil has to be sharpened every now and then to stay sharp, or you dull out. So my records, I chose to speak on what black people do, what white people do, what women do, what men do.
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
For me rappers and dancers are poets and artists and often times the most interesting performances are given by them.
Ice Cube
For my birthday, buy me a politician!
Ice Cube
Do I gotta go sell me a whole lotta crack for decent shelter and clothes on my back?
Ice Cube
I love Godzilla, but my favorite was on this TV Show, Johnny Sokko and His Flying Robot. I used to love the idea of having a giant robot under my control. That was like a dream come true for a kid.
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
If you think about stuff that happened when you were young, it stays with you forever.
