I’m always happy. I’ve just got a mean face.
I do what I do. You like it, great. You don’t, go listen to somebody else. I’m stickin’ with the people who stuck with me.
I believe our society has fell into a pyramid system where there’s people relegated to the bottom of that pyramid and there’s people that feel like they’re entitled to the top of that pyramid.
Truth is the ultimate power. When the truth comes around, all the lies have to run and hide.
Create your own path, hone your talent, be ready to show your talent, and don’t doubt yourself.
Sometimes you got to start somewhere. And it’s cool, as long as where you start is not where you plan on finishing.

I was given the name by my brother when I was about eleven or twelve years old. He was older than me, and around that age I was starting to get into girls, and when they would call the house for him, and when he was not there, I would try to talk to them. I was trying to be the man and trying to get them to come and see me, not worrying about him. When he found out… he started calling me Ice Cube as a joke because he said I was trying to be too cool. I just liked it and started telling everybody in the hood “my name is Ice Cube.”

And that’s the kind of relationship you want, not a standard.
