More quotes by Ice T
in the mornin' po-lice at my door Fresh adidas squeak across the bathroom floor Out the back window.. I make a escape Don't even get a chance to grab my old school tape
Ice T
If you believe that I'm a cop killer, you believe David Bowie is an astronaut.
Ice T
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.
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
I'm like a monkey. You don't let go of one branch until you get a hold of the other.
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
I'm pretty open book, I'm also the kind of person that will say, 'That's none of your business,' too.
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
When the President (of the United States) mentions your name in anger, you know the sh*t has hit the fan!
Ice T
Anybody who speeds thinks they can outsmart the cops.
Ice T
The best way to compliment an emcee is to say his lyrics. That's how you say, Hello.
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'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 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
If I'm going to be a jazz player, I need to understand Miles Davis.
Ice T
I mean rappin' to me is easy, it's something you can do over a week.
Ice T
I'll never sell 14 million like Hammer, I just wanna do a good Ice-T show.
Ice T
It's not about being mad at everything. It's about being really mad at the right things.
Ice T
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
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.
