It took me a while and a lot of hard times to figure out my purpose, I am so happy with my life. I just want to help make other people happy too.

I just kind of shoot the finger to the critics. I don't give sh - what a critic says. To me a critic is some loser who has no idea... someone with an opinion. We all have opinions.

"Ice" came in when my friends would say "cold as ice" -- if you could rap and battle people you'd say "Dude, that was ice cold." It had nothing to do with jewelry. Back then, it was like "Your cold, dawg." "Vanilla Ice -- that's cold."

And all the zig-zags and lines in my hair? I used to do that myself. I just thought it was cool that you could actually do that with your hair.

My mom raised me to be clean, so it's in my nature. I have two little girls and I'm married but we've got a nanny and a maid.

Drop that zero and get with the hero!

Concerts every night, autograph signings, endorsements, and so on. That's not what real life is about.
