Def Jam just made deals with me. They wouldn't let me go because they didn't really have that much street cred. So they kept me around.

You gotta know when it's your time. You might wake up one day like, 'Damn, I just feel good,' but you've been feeling like that for a whole month. That's your season.

You know yourself; you gotta know your seasons. There be certain seasons, it's telepathy.

If you've got something you want to do, do it right now.

'The W' was real dark to me. Out of all the Wu-Tang albums, I like the first one and the second one. When 'The W' came into play, and the other ones, I felt they were just thrown together fast. Everyone got their money, and it was just like, 'Whatever, whatever, whatever.' 'The W' was a real dark album.

I was going into a slump during 'Ironman.' I found out I was a diabetic around that time, and I was just stressed out. My mind wasn't all the way there.

The 'Can It Be' beat was sick!

My favorite on '36 Chambers' gotta be between 'Method Man' and 'Can It Be All So Simple.'

Things change. Nothing ever stays the same, yo. You ain't never gonna stay 25 or 30 or 40. You always gonna change. Every day, you change.

I'm so spiritual.

I'm in tune with the universe, the sun, moon, and stars. I'm in tune with the jinns that are all around us.

Me and God has a good relationship.

When Wu-Tang came, Wu-Tang was for that era, right there. When Dre had it in the West Coast, it was for that time. Biggie and them, it was for that time.

I used to get money and hustle and do it in the streets.

Wu-Block is more street. It's just street, that's all.

Everything you see is not always real.

Even when I'm 70, I'm still gonna write rhymes.

I wanna rhyme about God.

My heart tells me what's right.

I follow in the footsteps of vets, regardless if they younger than me or older than me.

I'm my own man.

To me, 'Ironman' was kind of dark for me. I wasn't looking for it to be that dark like that.

RZA's my brotha for life. That's my brother-in-law.

I made 'Supreme Clientele' what it is. Those are my stories, based around whatever they're based upon. It's me.
