Acting Quote by Ice T

“When I first started out in music, I was so…” quote by Ice T — Download Open image

“When I first started out in music, I was so negative. I was knee-deep in the streets. Then my friends started going to jail. They said, 'Boy, you better start taking this seriously; you got a chance to do something with your life.' That's when I realised I had to focus. The music led to the acting.”
