More quotes by Ice T
I've been pulled out of my nice new car and laid out in the street by the police, interrogated and then have them get in the car and roll off leaving me lying in the street without even saying 'Get up.' The humiliation that they can put on a black man because they determine that you ain't got the money.

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
I'm competitive in that I would like to outsell my last record.
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.

Any New York group can come to L.A. and sell out every show, but an L.A. group who goes to New York might not do the same because the audience hasn't been introduced to the group.
Ice T
I'm pretty open book, I'm also the kind of person that will say, 'That's none of your business,' too.
Ice T
Los Angeles is a microcosm of the United States. If L.A. falls, the country falls.

Passion makes the world go round. Love just makes it a safer place.
Ice T
There is no such thing as a normal family so don't trip off it, just deal with it.
Ice T
I'll never sell 14 million like Hammer, I just wanna do a good Ice-T show.

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
I have no hatred for cops. I have hatred for racists and brutal people, but not necessarily the cops. The cops are just doing what they're told to do.
Ice T
You can't just sing the song and live another life.
Ice T
Half the rhymes you write, you're saying that you're better than the other MC. That's how we keep the craft sharp.
Ice T
When I recorded my first album, my ego didn't let me believe that what I was gonna say on the mic, anyone would really care about. But then when I found out that they did, I started to take it more seriously.
Ice T
I have to take what I say and make it heavy, so every single bar means something. And there's no riddles in my rhymes. Every single word means something.
Ice T
I think when people say 'real hip-hop,' they want it more buried in the streets. They want it more connected to the streets and the grime and the roughness of the streets. They don't want the fluff.
Ice T
I'm a far cry from politically correct, because I don't really care what the political views are. I don't care what the people say. I'll say my opinion. That will always make you controversial.
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
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.
