Oh man, nobody is as tough as Mr T. Ice T is pretty tough though as well.

Anybody who has anybody in the armed forces, I don't care how well-trained they are, there's nothing safe about it.

Rapping is a vocal delivery, so you can do it without being part of hip-hop and not knowing what hip-hop is about.

I've never been competitive with anybody but myself.

When I was younger I never drank. I never drank, I never did any weed or drugs or anything because I felt it would compromise my position. I was an orphan, and I had a feeling like if I ever hit the ground I may never get back up.

I've never read for a movie, I've always been given them.

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.
