I don't watch daytime television, I have a job, I work and, you know, I think daytime television is really for women.

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

Half the rhymes you write, you're saying that you're better than the other MC. That's how we keep the craft sharp.

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.

It really really sunk into me when I went to Europe and they take rap so much more serious than we do here. That was the first time I ever heard rap considered folk music. And sometimes somebody will make you understand like, "Hey, what you doin' is serious, don't play it lightly 'cause it's changin' my life."

Who can protect themselves from betrayal? The day your brother wakes up and plans to do you dirty, there's no defense against that.

I'm not going to allow anybody to hold a badge up over me or a cross or any other power symbol and say I'm going to kill you and you're just going to kneel down to me because I'm the law.
