Past Tense Problem

Which one is correct?
He knew I like ice cream.
He knew I liked ice cream.

Cos I always like ice cream, not just at that time 'he knew', should I put 'like' into present tense or past tense?

Others like

He said he was Jackson.
He said he is Jackson.

Thanks.

It doesn't matter if you continue to like ice cream; it's still as Brennus said -- "He knew I liked ice cream." ;)
