I think, first of all, I don't think people understand Ice Cube's body of work. Ice Cube is a, and I hate to use the word 'urban' but - when you think of Judd Apatow, and a person who's launched so many careers, Ice Cube has done that for so many comedians, you know?

I had one incident where my daughter said that a girl asked if she was a brown person. I said, 'We're black. You have black people, white people, Chinese people, Hispanic people; we're all brought up differently.'

I've done auditions where the casting director is taking the paper out of my hand in the middle of reading.

The most exciting thing in the world to me is that I'm doing what I love to do, and that I'm successful doing it. Pursuing my dream and executing it is exciting to me.

It's very rare that you get a director that lets you be creative and bring what you feel your character should do or should be.

People don't want drama 365 days a year. I'm a sense of relief; it's my job to take your mind off what's bad for that brief second you're in the room with me, regardless of shape, race, colour or anything. It brings people together, and it makes me feel good about what I'm doing.

Everybody wants to be famous, but nobody wants to put the work in!!
