Seeing my son getting roughed up by the police is not fun. It brings back memories of when I got roughed up by them. He grew up totally different than how I grew up, and to me, he shouldn't have to go through that.

More quotes by Ice Cube
I remember wishing there was snow in L.A. And how jealous we used to get of those Christmas specials with kids playing in the snow.
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
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
Snoop Dog is the Phil Jackson of youth football coaches. He ain't going to accept nothing but a winner.
Ice Cube
Success really comes down to the product, not to me, my personality, or what club I'm seen going into or coming out of. None of that matters. What's important is whether or not people feel like they wasted their time or money when they pay for a movie or a CD.
Ice Cube
A good movie is a movie that you could see over and over again, not a movie that wins a Oscar, or a movie that makes a lot of money. It's a movie that you personally can watch over and over again. That, to me, is a measure of a good movie.
Ice Cube
You always want your kids to step up at the moment of truth.
Ice Cube
I definitely know the minister Honorable Louis Farrakhan. But I don't really believe in organized religion like that. I don't know what it does for people in the long run.
Ice Cube
We have to step up as adults and try to guide our youth.
Ice Cube
Cool people still have a hard time showing what they got in Hollywood.
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
Brothers keep asking Ice Cube, 'Yo, when will you bust?' They surround me and make a big fuss
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
Hollywood is obsessed with police stories.
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
Ice Cube is the piece of me that I give away to the public.
Ice Cube
If you really think back to the culture or just black America before rap music took off, New York could have been Paris.
Ice Cube
The best thing I've done with my money is buy a house for my family. You wake up to a house you love and you feel like somebody.
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
[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!
