Show me a smile, and I'll show you one back.

No way! Let me tell you, I'm no Elvis. Elvis had his time. I'm Vanilla Ice, and it's my turn now.

I didn't want the public in my personal life at all - I thought that people might perceive me as too normal, and I'd lose that larger-than-life rock star persona. You've got to protect that!

I've never left music behind, but I've had success in television.

I own a mortgage company and a real estate company funded by the music. Florida is a kinda gold mine.

I'm a random guy. I shake a hand and make a friend. I don't do egotistical things.

Honestly, a lot of people thought that I was on top of the world selling so many millions of records, and that this is the life that everybody would want, but I never got to enjoy any of my success.
