I didn't really realize how big I was 'til I started to tour, because being in your own neighborhood, people don't actually give you full props.

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.

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

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
Image
I just don't believe that there's any way that you're ever gonna get one peace, because everybody has different ways of seeing life.

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?!

Los Angeles is a microcosm of the United States. If L.A. falls, the country falls.

Winners have to absorb losses.

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

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.

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
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'.

Image
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 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
Image
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
Image
I've always been a person that, if I'm with a woman, she's in the picture. Even my son's mom, she was on my early (album) covers.

It's not about being mad at everything. It's about being really mad at the right things.

If you believe that I'm a cop killer, you believe David Bowie is an astronaut.
Ice T
Image
I was a pretty bad person early in my life.
Ice T
Image
I've never been a cop hater. You know, when I was breaking the law, the cops were the opponent. I just thought I could outsmart them.
Ice T
Image
I was doing the wrong thing, at the time I thought I was doing the right thing. It's like if you're dealing with somebody who is high on drugs, they can look back at it and say, Wow, I was destroying myself. But during the period, they think they're doing the right thing. You just have to let the smoke clear so you can see the whole picture.
