1 " That's one of the first things that comes out of young people's mouths when they're in love. FOREVER. And that's cool, it's all good-until you get old enough to realize what forever is. "
― Ice-T , Ice: A Memoir of Gangster Life and Redemption—from South Central to Hollywood
2 " There is no such thing as a normal family so don't trip off it, just deal with it. "
― Ice-T
3 " Diet food is for lazy people. "
4 " Dog's just want to sniff an ass and eat some food. "
5 " If you believe that I'm a cop killer, you believe David Bowie is an astronaut. "
6 " Never mumble some sarcastic shit to somebody who can obviously fuck you up. "
7 " Who can protect themselves from betrayal? The day your brother wakes up and plans to do you dirty, there's no defense against that. "
8 " Once I get something going well, I'll risk fucking it up just for the action. "
9 " ...As an artist, you need the naysayers and the nonbelievers to add fuel to your creative fire. "
10 " I don't rhyme about guns I ain't shotHoes I ain't caughtOr shit I ain't bought. "
11 " Frankly, I don't feel the fire anymore from the youth. I miss my era when motherfuckers were fighting for shit, spitting fire in their lyrics. "
12 " That became the signature Ice-T style - rhymes that were "topical" and "vividly optical." To me it was street-level journalism, real-life observations told in poetry. That's the vision I tried to bring to all my recordings. "
13 " That's basically the gangster code. Just be yourself. Just be you, dog. The easiest way to get your card plucked around a gangster is to be a fake. If we feel like you're trying too hard, if you're trying to act like you're from the street, you're in trouble. "
14 " Don’t get too hung up on working with any one person, because it’s like a game of checkers where dudes are hopping over one another all the time, shouting, “King me, motherfucker!” It’s checkers, yo. But with a lot of money at stake. "
15 " This next record is dedicated to some personal friends of mine, the LAPD. For every cop that has ever taken advantage of somebody, beat 'em down or hurt 'em, because they got long hair, listen to the wrong kinda music, wrong color, whatever they thought was the reason to do it. For every one of those fuckin' police, I'd like to take a pig out here in this parkin' lot and shoot 'em in their mothafuckin' face. "
