My father's family came from Virginia and Philadelphia. He wasn't a brother who talked a lot. He was a workingman, a quiet, blue-collar dude.
I don't have to put out another rap record. I can do it at my casual pace.
I couldn't possibly have lived all the things that Ice-T on the records lived.
I look at my career and I feel I have the potential to maybe mature into a Samuel Jackson-type older cat, and people will still respect me and say 'Yo, Ice-T was wild', into my old age. And why not? I don't necessarily think I'll be rapping in 10 years.
Being happily married, I’m more focused on what I’m doing. Ya know, one of my quotes is ‘love isn’t looking somebody in the eyes; it’s looking out in the same direction.
I've never read for a movie, I've always been given them.
Oh man, nobody is as tough as Mr T. Ice T is pretty tough though as well.
I like crime movies where the crime is so incredible that, attractive as it seems, you don't wanna do it because it's just too dangerous.
An MC is somebody who can control the crowd. An MC is a master of ceremonies so not only can you say your rap, you can rock the party.
As long as I'm around the cats in the hip hop scene, they'll throw me a track and I'll write a rap over it.
Everything we do helps the new artists in the long run.
I'm competitive in that I would like to outsell my last record.
So from an actor's perspective, you really have no idea how you're acting.
I'm a big fan of all styles, even Biggie and Wu-Tang, but I gotta do my thing.
