More quotes by Vanilla Ice
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.
Vanilla Ice
A lot of people don't remember anything since 'Ice Ice Baby,' but I've got 3 records out since then and they're all successes - but not commercially.
Vanilla Ice
Be yourself and enjoy yourself. Show me a smile and I'll show you one back. Karma: Believe in it. It's real. It comes back to you.
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
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.
Vanilla Ice
I turned a lot of people in white America - and not just white America, but middle-class America - into hip-hoppers, you know?
Vanilla Ice
I like Cleveland. I like the Cavaliers. Nothing wrong with Cleveland. I have lots of friends there.

Drop that zero and get with the hero!

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
For three years between 16 and 19 I was the opening-act-for-the-opening-act-for-the-opening-act, you know? And then I was on tour with Ice-T, Stetsasonic, EPMD, Sir Mix-a-Lot--legends--and went on to sell 160 million records. It still baffles me.
Vanilla Ice
To the extreme I rock a mike like a vandal.
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 bring people on stage with me. It's a good time, and people love to join in on the party. Show me a smile, and I'll show you one back.
Vanilla Ice
I'm a random guy. I shake a hand and make a friend. I don't do egotistical things.
Vanilla Ice
I've never left music behind, but I've had success in television.
Vanilla Ice
Show me a smile, and I'll show you one back.
Vanilla Ice
Rap is from the streets and I'm from the streets. That's why a lot of people accept me.
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
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
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.
