Ice Cube | Ep. 86

Be an original, be authentic, and let the chips fall where they may. Don't worry about pleasing people. Just be yourself, and let the chips fall where they may.

Sometimes, when you focus just on your clientele, so to speak, everybody else join in. Sometimes, when you're trying to get everybody, you even miss your main audience. So, always go for your main audience and let everybody else get in where they fit in.

I don't wanna hear an AI Drake song ... I don't want to hear that bullshit. He should sue whoever made it ... It's like a sample; somebody can't take your original voice and manipulate it without having to pay.

That's, to me, the measure of a great movie—not how much money you make, not how many Oscars you get, but how many times can you watch it?

I heard 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs', that the dwarves are really your mood swings when you're coming off of cocaine.

I think AI is demonic. I think AI is going to get a backlash from real people, real organic people. And so, I think artists need to go back to using they real voice and making sure people know this is authentic and not made from a computer.

A lot of actors are waiters, but I'm a writer. I'll write what I want to be in and not wait for somebody to come up with it.

I think a script just got to be like a great meal. You got to have the right ingredients... enough food, enough different courses to be, you know, a feast.

I want to do movies that people can watch over and over and over again. That's my goal.
