More quotes by Vanilla Ice
My mom raised me to be clean, so it's in my nature. I have two little girls and I'm married but we've got a nanny and a maid.
Vanilla Ice
I didn't end up going bankrupt... I made some great investments and I held on to my money, which also enables me to have the freedom to do what I want now. But it's not about finances. No matter what, it's about keeping it real.
Vanilla Ice
If you grew up in my generation, you're going to be influenced by Run DMC, the Beastie Boys and also listen to Metallica - it wasn't segregated anymore.
Vanilla Ice
Anything less than the best is a felony.

I was born in Dallas, Texas, but I was raised in south Florida. Ice Ice Baby is about that area.

I have a very broad demographic, from the 8-year-old who knows every word to 'Ice Ice Baby' and the college kid who grew up on 'Ninja Rap' to the soccer mom and grandparent.

My breakdancing crew used to go to the mall and squat a piece of cardboard there we had our jam box, and I'd spin on my head and make about forty bucks a day, which was pretty good back then. I was only 14 years old, so I would chase the girls around the mall and eat some pizza and have some change left over.

I do a lot of TV stuff, but I also turn a lot down - it's got to be an adventure.

Ice came in when my friends would say cold as ice -- if you could rap and battle people you'd say Dude, that was ice cold. It had nothing to do with jewelry. Back then, it was like Your cold, dawg. Vanilla Ice -- that's cold.
Vanilla Ice
I'm to trying to say I'm something I'm not. Black people understand that. I'm just doing my raps, my way. Rap is black. I recognize that and respect that. I'm just a white guy trying to rap, and I got lucky.
Vanilla Ice
And all the zig-zags and lines in my hair? I used to do that myself. I just thought it was cool that you could actually do that with your hair.
Vanilla Ice
All my friends were black and Mexican. I was the only white kid in our group and had to work hard to be accepted. Year after year, we'd breakdance and we all became close and they labeled me Vanilla - like Hey, Vanilla and they knew I hated it, so of course they kept calling me it.
Vanilla Ice
I don't know all the certain words to word it.
Vanilla Ice
My sound has changed. It's still hiphop, but it's more of like a rock/hip-hop show. It's high energy, stage diving, pyrotechnics, girls showing their breasts. It's crazy party atmosphere.
Vanilla Ice
I'm the kind of guy who really likes a challenge. It's more rewarding.
Vanilla Ice
i'm okay.. is that what you really want me to say?
Vanilla Ice
Stop, collaborate and listen.
Vanilla Ice
It took me a while and a lot of hard times to figure out my purpose, I am so happy with my life. I just want to help make other people happy too.
Vanilla Ice
I live off a motto that says, 'yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery'. I have goals and agendas. Where ever I'll be tomorrow, that's where I'll be.
Vanilla Ice
I used the music kind of as therapy, and it's just amazing that I feel so free after doing that. I feel like I had it trapped inside of me and now I feel free. So it's been a very good therapy session for me as well.
