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

More quotes by Vanilla Ice
My main thing is music it's what I do.
Vanilla Ice
I've never met anybody in this world like me.
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
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
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.
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 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
Rap is from the streets and I'm from the streets. That's why a lot of people accept me.
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.
Vanilla Ice
I'm a random guy. I shake a hand and make a friend. I don't do egotistical things.
Vanilla Ice
i'm okay.. is that what you really want me to say?
Vanilla Ice
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.
Vanilla Ice
It wasn't until '94 when I tried to commit suicide that I realized that it wasn't about the money.
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
It doesn't sound anything like 'Under Pressure.'
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
Show me who your friends are and I'll show you who you are. It works for me. Stay positive and good things happen.
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
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
Stop, collaborate and listen.
