00:00 It's more, as you say, softer than actually Ice would write something. But it's great. The lyrics are great. I mean, it fits the movie perfect.
00:09 [Music]
00:20 What was it like just working with them?
00:22 With the Turtles? Oh, it was great. You know, they look real in real life even. I mean, you know how it looks on TV, they look like that in real life.
00:30 They got these suits. Damn, whoever makes these suits is like good. I mean, he is real good. And the lips move, everything is real true.
00:39 [Music]
00:53 I told them, I said, "Yo, I don't have any acting skills." And they said, "Oh, just be yourself." I said, "Okay."
01:00 Actually, they wanted me to do more of the movie than I did. I was supposed to do some acting in the movie. But I was on tour with MC Hammer at the time.
01:10 And I had eight days total to do this. And it took all eight days to do what I shot. And that's what we did.
01:18 [Music]
01:26 I mean, the kids buy. The kids love it, you know. The kids are the ones who buy my records. The kids are the ones who go see the movie. I mean, it's huge, yeah.
01:35 There's no doubt about that. People over 25 don't buy records. People over 25 don't even, they rent movies. They don't go see them hardly anymore, you know.
01:44 I can see movies in the future for Vanilla Ice. I got a new movie coming out with Universal Pictures. It's called Cool As Ice. It's going to be a great movie. It's got motorcycles in it.
01:53 Well, I hope you like being a biker chick because you're not going to see me or my car again. Imagine that.
01:59 My heart is into the music. There's no doubt about that, 100%.
02:02 Let me hear you say, "Ice, ice, baby!"
02:10 My heart is into music because there's no high on earth like the high you get when you're on stage in front of 20,000 people and they're going nuts.
02:18 This movie stuff is, to me, actually the truth is boring. You know, it's this hurry up and wait deal.
02:24 And you sit there and you film it, you know, and it's over and over and over again. It's boring.
02:30 But the good part about it is when you go see it, you're like, "Yeah!" That's the exciting part about it.
02:35 Who's your favorite Turtle?
02:41 Rafael.
02:42 Why?
02:43 I like his attitude.
02:44 Sheesh, whatever happened to service with a smile?
02:47 It's the same reason that got me here. It's my attitude. It's everything about it. I won't stop until I, you know, reach it. I'm that way.
02:55 I say this to kids as well, you know, don't ever let somebody tell you you can't do something.
03:00 Because when somebody tells me I can't do something, it makes me want to work twice as hard to prove them wrong.
03:04 And right now, everybody's telling me I can't do something. And they're trying to dog me.
03:08 So it's just helping me, actually. And that's what I do. I push hard, you know, to get what I want.
03:13 Like I say, you can do anything. If you want it bad enough, you can achieve anything.
