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.

More quotes by Ice T
Redemption just means you just make a change in your life and you try to do right, versus what you were doing, which was wrong.
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 was doing the wrong thing, at the time I thought I was doing the right thing. It's like if you're dealing with somebody who is high on drugs, they can look back at it and say, Wow, I was destroying myself. But during the period, they think they're doing the right thing. You just have to let the smoke clear so you can see the whole picture.
Ice T
When the President (of the United States) mentions your name in anger, you know the sh*t has hit the fan!
Ice T
I think everybody wants to redeem themselves after they've done something that might be considered negative. I don't think anyone wants to go to the grave negative.
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
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
The right to bear arms is because it's the last form of defense against tyranny.
Ice T
Los Angeles is a microcosm of the United States. If L.A. falls, the country falls.
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 don't watch daytime television, I have a job, I work and, you know, I think daytime television is really for women.
Ice T
With the invention of the blog and all this Internet stuff, everybody has an opinion everybody has a voice. In fact, there was a time when the average person didn't have a voice so you had to pick an artist to speak for you.
Ice T
I look at my career and I feel I have the potential to maybe mature into a Samuel Jackson-type older cat, and people will still respect me and say 'Yo, Ice-T was wild', into my old age. And why not? I don't necessarily think I'll be rapping in 10 years.
Ice T
I'm on the front line and I am a rapper.
Ice T
If it sells, it sells. If it doesn't sell, I'll go make a movie.
Ice T
People think I'll kill you if you make a joke. I compare it to Clint Eastwood. I've only seen Clint Eastwood in movies. You think if you make a joke to Eastwood, he might shoot you.
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
Rapping is a vocal delivery, so you can do it without being part of hip-hop and not knowing what hip-hop is about.
Ice T
If I'm going to be a jazz player, I need to understand Miles Davis.
Ice T
You know, I say in my lyrics, Every word I write will be analyzed by somebody white. It's just that I know that this sh*t is just not gonna fall on deaf ears.
Ice T
