Hollywood has its own way of telling stories. I was just telling stories that I was familiar with. And it's what I want to do in the future: I want to take my audio cinema and put it on the screen.

More quotes by Ice T
When you hit the wall, it's how fast you come back.
Ice T
I always knew that I had to direct. That was something I'd wanted to do. Finally, I was just looking at the situation and I said, I wanna document hip-hop, as an art form, seeing how a lot of people don't take it seriously.
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 it sells, it sells. If it doesn't sell, I'll go make a movie.
Ice T
My father's family came from Virginia and Philadelphia. He wasn't a brother who talked a lot. He was a working man, a quiet, blue-collar dude.
Ice T
Truthfully, a weak rapper can hide behind a lot of production.
Ice T
Anybody who speeds thinks they can outsmart the cops.
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
Well, I am very happy that I was able to play a part in bringing music from the streets onto the radio and into modern culture, I worked very hard and always believed in the sounds I was creating.
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
Los Angeles is a microcosm of the United States. If L.A. falls, the country falls.
Ice T
A good emcee will rhyme a lot of different ways. Don't limit yourself.
Ice T
The best way to compliment an emcee is to say his lyrics. That's how you say, Hello.
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
I think all music - not just rap - has fallen into this very diluted, delusional state, where everyone's singing about money and having cars, and having all this fun when really, people are losing their homes.
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
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
You can't just sing the song and live another life.
Ice T
You have to come in on a professional level to make it, otherwise you just can't get into rap.
Ice T
I started writing rhymes first and then put it to the music. I figured out I could lock it to the beat better if I heard the music first. I like to get a lot of tracks, put the track up and let the music talk to me about what it's about.
