I turned a lot of people in white America - and not just white America, but middle-class America - into hip-hoppers, you know?

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

When 'Ice Ice Baby' was selling a million records a day, I bought several properties: a home next to Michael J. Fox in L.A., a palace in Miami and a mountain cabin in Utah. Then, a few years later, I took a break from touring, saw that my properties had cobwebs, so I sold them, and - to my surprise - I made a huge profit!

I've never left music behind, but I've had success in television.

I just kept it real and had the freedom to do what I want. It's not designed for any age group. It's not made for radio. There are no edits. The whole album contains explicit lyrics but that's because you need it.

Concerts every night, autograph signings, endorsements, and so on. That's not what real life is about.

I don't harp on what I could change about the past, because I can't go back and change it. But definitely a lot of things I would change.

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.

Act smarter than you are and always know where your exit is in case you get into too much trouble.

I don't know all the certain words to word it.

I just kind of shoot the finger to the critics. I don't give sh - what a critic says. To me a critic is some loser who has no idea... someone with an opinion. We all have opinions.
Vanilla Ice
Image
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.

I'm a random guy. I shake a hand and make a friend. I don't do egotistical things.
Vanilla Ice
Image
With the mega-fame came the mega-downfall - you know, with the press and everything - and at a young age, it was very stressful to me.

I've been playing concerts for many years, and it's still as exciting as it was the first time. I hope that shows when I'm performing.

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.

Not everyone agrees on music. Some people like rap, some like country - it's all an opinion. F the critics.

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.

I do freestyle jumping. Been doing since I was eight years old and can't quit. I'm addicted. I've broken many bones, but I ride with confidence. It's my thing - there's no high on earth like it. It's my hobby and I really enjoy it.

It wasn't until '94 when I tried to commit suicide that I realized that it wasn't about the money.
