More quotes by Ice T
A lot of people play single to work some angle. I'm always about keeping it real. If that's how I'm living, that's how I'm living.
Ice T
I'm just disillusioned with the hip-hop sound right now. It's too materialistic. You know, I'm the kind of guy ... I can't do that. If you track my movement, you'll never see a picture of me with any girl that wasn't mine, or my own car. My jewelry, my clothes. What kind of gangsta rapper has a stylist? A stylist?!
Ice T
I was born in Newark, New Jersey, and grew up in Summit, an upscale town in north Jersey. There was this tiny area of Summit where most of the black families lived. My parents and I lived in a duplex house on Williams Street.
Ice T
...As an artist, you need the naysayers and the nonbelievers to add fuel to your creative fire.
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
When you hit the wall, it's how fast you come back.
Ice T
I don't rhyme for the sake of riddlin'. If I say it, I gotta be able to back it up.
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'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.
Ice T
I'd say people are victims of circumstances and they're limited to the opportunities that they see. Even though there might be more opportunities, you might not see them. You might just think, I don't have any options. You usually go to the dark side, in that situation.
Ice T
The best way to listen to the album is to put it on, get some Moet, lay back with your boys, and kick it.
Ice T
I'm at a point where I don't have to wait for the income from the record to survive, so I'm in a comfortable zone, but I'll make rap records as long as I feel I have something to rap about.
Ice T
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.
Ice T
I mean rappin' to me is easy, it's something you can do over a week.
Ice T
Being happily married, I’m more focused on what I’m doing. Ya know, one of my quotes is ‘love isn’t looking somebody in the eyes it’s looking out in the same direction.
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
If I'm going to be a jazz player, I need to understand Miles Davis.
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
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.
Ice T
My father died early. My mother died early. I started hanging with the gangs. I'm on the streets I'm committing crimes. And the music came along, and this music just took me on a different road.
Ice T
