More quotes by Vanilla Ice
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.
Vanilla Ice
I own a mortgage company and a real estate company funded by the music. Florida is a kinda gold mine.
Vanilla Ice
Rap is from the streets and I'm from the streets. That's why a lot of people accept me.
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 a random guy. I shake a hand and make a friend. I don't do egotistical things.
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
It wasn't until '94 when I tried to commit suicide that I realized that it wasn't about the money.
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
i'm okay.. is that what you really want me to say?
Vanilla Ice
Drop that zero and get with the hero!
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
I do a lot of TV stuff, but I also turn a lot down - it's got to be an adventure.
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
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
Another car is not going to help me out, a nicer car, I've already got it. A bigger house ain't gonna do anything for me, and you know, a yacht, it's not going to do anything for me anymore. So how can I find happiness?
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
This was totally influenced by me and the direction that I am writing about and the stuff that I am writing about. There is just no way that you can be as intense as what I have been through in my life over a drum beat machine, sample, or loop it's just not going to happen.
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
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'm the kind of guy who really likes a challenge. It's more rewarding.
Vanilla Ice
