More quotes by Ice T
One of the things about powerful people is they have the ability to make it look easy.
Ice T
I mean rappin' to me is easy, it's something you can do over a week.
Ice T
The best way to compliment an emcee is to say his lyrics. That's how you say, Hello.
Ice T
A lot of times people would offer me movies and, because I'm a car freak, I'd look in a magazine and say, 'How much is this car? If you give me this car I'll show up and do the movie' I call 'em 'sports car flicks'.
Ice T
You can't just sing the song and live another life.
Ice T
Ice-T in the music has done some outrageous things.
Ice T
As an actor, you can do what you want with your role. That's why they hire you to take the role and make it real.
Ice T
It's like a paradox. For one side, being popularized rap got better and the other side of it got worse. It's very pop and it's very different now. When you make it as pop and as soft as it is, it lacks its integrity. It lacks its accountability. It lacks a lot of other things that came from that dangerous time in hip hop.
Ice T
Hip-hop is a competition culture. It's based around, My DJ is better than you. My graffiti artist is better than you.
Ice T
I think what's happenin' is that, with the overflow of music, it's been diluted. There was a time when people would go search out underground records. Now, underground means free, and people don't really care for it. So now artists tend to go more pop and look for the radio.
Ice T
The right to bear arms is because it's the last form of defense against tyranny.
Ice T
Another thing about me dealing with the old school rappers, you see a lot of humility. When you're new, nothing is wrong. Everything is tight. Because you're trying to hype the world into believing in you.
Ice T
The next day, I got a phone call from him and he told me to come and read for a movie called New Jack City. So I went over there and they told me I was gonna wear dreads and play a cop.
Ice T
I didn't really realize how big I was 'til I started to tour, because being in your own neighborhood, people don't actually give you full props.
Ice T
If one person comes in and says, this is the way life should be, I think you're asking for chaos. I think you gotta let different people live different ways. It's a big world.
Ice T
Rap is rock 'n' roll. Rock is when you push the buttons in the system when you say, I'm not going along with what you're saying. That's rock, whether it's done with guitars, or it's done with just beats.
Ice T
I'm like a monkey. You don't let go of one branch until you get a hold of the other.
Ice T
Los Angeles is a microcosm of the United States. If L.A. falls, the country falls.
Ice T
I'm very much against the anonymity of bloggers and social media. I just hate it and I think it's really cowardly.
Ice T
The music led to the acting. But movies aren't something you can just will yourself into. Someone has to choose you, and you have to be quite fortunate to be chosen.
