Ice t

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

The best way to listen to the album is to put it on, get some Moet, lay back with your boys, and kick it.

Ultimately I am happy that everybody is embracing hip hop and the sounds from the streets.

We have groups that do that, but I can't rap with the mentality of an 18 year old when I'm in my 30's.

I'm at a point where I don't have to wait for the income from the record to survive, so I'm in a comfortable zone, but I'll make rap records as long as I feel I have something to rap about.

So from an actor's perspective, you really have no idea how you're acting.

You have to come in on a professional level to make it, otherwise you just can't get into rap.

So you don't have to take us too seriously; I mean, we're already intimidating enough on stage.

I'm competitive in that I would like to outsell my last record.

When you start a business, go for the lowest hanging fruit.
