I've seen a dude who had the Wu logo tatted on his face. I mean, his whole face was tatted, but the Wu was the biggest thing on his face. That is a statement, something that means a lot to us.

I'm a scientist by nature and not by trade.

I love Indian food and Thai food; those are, like, my favorites. I also like Japanese and some Italian.

As far as being a vegetarian, it's a moral thing, a health thing, a conscious thing - a combination of all. I think it's better to be that way.

I get inspired by many different things.

I'm constantly writing.

I could write about a pencil if I wanted to. You just take it back deep enough, all the way back to the tree it came from.

As you grow and get older, you evolve.

I just have certain interests in different things, and they inspire me to write. I would encourage aspiring artists or MCs or rappers to be able to grab from many different sources to create your story.

I think every being in the universe is connected somehow.

To write a story is to create a world of your own.

Documentaries sometimes can be shot over 10 years. You plan to stop in two, but you still gotta catch more.

Wu-Tang has only done, like, three rehearsals throughout our whole career.

I think artists should really write more.

People say Wu-Tang makes you think too much. What's wrong with thinking?

I'm a late-night person who likes to eat a lot of breakfast stuff at night.

I think I'm okay; I got a pretty good shot when I concentrate. I like pool.

I like snowboarding, and I like to watch it.

I played on a 10'x10' chessboard at a hotel in Miami. The pieces were heavy, and I got tired just making a move. Not cool with that.

In chess, you have to bring all the pieces into the game. It is about development. In writing, you have to develop the story.

Writing is sort of like chess for me. You have to think carefully before you move, thinking, planning.

Even if we didn't make records, we would have done it on the side for fun. Like, some painters sell their work; others just keep it - they love to do it whether they get paid or not.

We've done a lot of shows and a few albums without Dirty. He was a wild and crazy dude.

When we did 'Back In The Game' on the Wu-Tang 'Iron Flag' album, I did a verse about gambling. I didn't want to be 'back in the game' or 'back on the block' - that's typical. I made it all metaphorical.
