I got caught up on drugs for a few years, I'm off it, I'm very happy, got two kids and a family and everything. And like I said I'm making the underground music, and keeping it real.

More quotes by Vanilla Ice
I was born in Dallas, Texas, but I was raised in south Florida. Ice Ice Baby is about that area.
Vanilla Ice
I like Jay-Z, 50 Cent and Common. But I like the underground stuff like Young Jeezy, Black Rob and Shine. I also love heavy metal like Slipknot and Pantera, It's very intense stuff.
Vanilla Ice
What makes critics dictate what is cool and what is not. What gives them the pass to say that their opinion on music or movies or anything is what should be cool and what shouldn't. I don't think it should be up to one person.
Vanilla Ice
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
To be truthful, Jay-Z wouldn't have a quarter of the records sold today if it wasn't for the white people buying his records.
Vanilla Ice
More than half of all the hip hop record sales are white people, and I think that might be a result of my record helping people to accept hip hop.
Vanilla Ice
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.
Vanilla Ice
I own a mortgage company and a real estate company funded by the music. Florida is a kinda gold mine.
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
A lot of people think I was an overnight success, but I was an opening act for three or four years, and then I signed my contract with EMI. Then it kind of blew up overnight.
Vanilla Ice
One thing I didn't understand in life was that I had $100,000,000 in the bank and I couldn't buy happiness. I had everything: mansions, yachts, Ferraris, Lamborghinis, but I was depressed. I didn't know where I fitted in. But then I found family and friends and I learned the value of life.
Vanilla Ice
To the extreme I rock a mike like a vandal.
Vanilla Ice
I do a lot of TV stuff, but I also turn a lot down - it's got to be an adventure.
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.
Vanilla Ice
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.
Vanilla Ice
The most valuable lesson I've ever learned in my life is that life is about family and friends, not about material things or any of that. It's about enjoying your life. If you have no family, no friends to enjoy it with, it don't matter how much you have, how much success you have, how much fame you have, how much money you have, it doesn't matter.
Vanilla Ice
Honestly, a lot of people thought that I was on top of the world selling so many millions of records, and that this is the life that everybody would want, but I never got to enjoy any of my success.
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
i'm okay.. is that what you really want me to say?
