I make a mean cup of coffee, if you give me the right ingredients.
I go light on breakfast. Sometimes it's a yogurt, but a lot of times it's leftovers from one of my wife's dinners.
I'm not really into the political game as far as paying politicians and stuff like that, I'm not into that. You do your job, and I'll do mine.
It never gets old. Working with somebody like Kevin Hart is rejuvenating in a lot of ways. He's such a pro. He's so good.
Obama reminds me of the black kid at a white school that don't nobody want to play with.
I'm not the type of actor who is trying to do a whole bunch of different stuff, you know what I mean?
I love any time you can enlighten people to mistakes, that's how I started my career.
We're in this entertainment business really to give the audience what they want.
I think I'm unique to the game 'cause of my versatility.
I still enjoy doing music. I'm not going to stop doing it, and doing it the way that I feel it should be done.
Brothers keep asking Ice Cube, 'Yo, when will you bust?' They surround me and make a big fuss
If it was all about me, I'd do a whole lot of pop records, make a whole lot of money, just rake in the dough. But it's never been all about me. It's all about being a voice for the voiceless. People who can't speak for themselves, who don't have a mic, don't have a say.
I was ready to get out of the box and play something a little different than what everybody has seen.
Some people have a taboo about doing advertising in the States. You know, where they kind of make their bread and butter. But to me, that's crazy.
