I have to take what I say and make it heavy, so every single bar means something. And there's no riddles in my rhymes. Every single word means something.

I'm afraid because some police are way out of control. My true feeling with police is this: If they do their job, there's no problem.

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.

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.

When we say a rapper, a rapper can say a rhyme. But an MC can rock a party.

If I'm going to be a jazz player, I need to understand Miles Davis.

There is no such thing as a normal family so don't trip off it, just deal with it.
