I'm pretty open book, I'm also the kind of person that will say, 'That's none of your business,' too.

...As an artist, you need the naysayers and the nonbelievers to add fuel to your creative fire.

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.

I don't watch daytime television, I have a job, I work and, you know, I think daytime television is really for women.

When I got a chance to rap, I just busted my ass. When I got a chance to act, I busted my ass. Anytime I get a chance. I'm not wasting time. I won't do it if I'm not doing it 110 percent. You've got to work hard if you want to play hard. I like to play, but I know I gotta bust my ass.

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.

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.

Real men hold themselves accountable for stuff.

Image
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.
Ice T
Image
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
Image
If I'm going to be a jazz player, I need to understand Miles Davis.
Ice T
Image
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
Image
I'll never sell 14 million like Hammer, I just wanna do a good Ice-T show.

Image
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'.

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
Image
I like crime movies where the crime is so incredible that, attractive as it seems, you don't wanna do it because it's just too dangerous.

Image
Rap music came along and saved my life. I started to tell the stories of the streets and that was my way out.
Ice T
Image
I don't feel that rap has been respected as an art form. Because people have seen rappers rap off the top of their heads, they don't think it is difficult.
Ice T
Image
So from an actor's perspective, you really have no idea how you're acting.

I was a pretty bad person early in my life.

There is no such thing as a normal family so don't trip off it, just deal with it.
