More quotes by RZA
Complainin' to my lawyer how this rookie tried to frisk me... Jealous of my jeep, I gave his badge to the chief, And got his ass directin' traffic in the heat for a week.
RZA
I'd say that directing is in my heart. And that's where my focus is, like a laser beam. That's what I've been studying for a long time, and I think that everything that I've done before has contributed to the development of my craft as a director.
RZA
I feel when I say I can do something and carry this opportunity to make movies, it's because I took the time to study it. A boxer can't just jump in the ring. You've got to practice and practice and practice.
RZA
Happiness is something you get from yourself. If you're completely satisfied with yourself, nobody can take it away from you.
RZA
It's not good to argue with your woman about something, because women feel strong about it, they slap you in your face, you still go back to them.
RZA
We put out real hip-hop at a time when it was turning into pop or R&B ... We brought the focus back to the music in its rawest form, without studio polish or radio hooks. ... People want something that gives them an adrenaline rush. We're here to supply that fix.
RZA
If you live through defeat, you are not defeated. If you are beaten but acquire wisdom, you have won. Lose yourself to improve yourself. Only when we shed all self-definition do we find who we really are.
RZA
Love is mistranslated into sex, because sex is not an expression of love. Sex is an expression of physical activity. It can be an expression of love between two people in love, but it's a carnal expression.
RZA
Once you've got an inspired spark, you've got to strive. You've gotta keep putting wood on it, so they say, to keep it burning. But then there's the alchemist side of it, that's the fire that's burning but it don't burn.
RZA
It is sad that the world has gotten more of my time than my children, but my children benefit from it through their financial and economical freedom that I didn't have.
RZA
I can't say unfortunately but sadly - I've got babies in more than one household.
RZA
You are a 64-track recording - the tracks are always there, they're always with you. Sometimes the harsh tracks are cranked up and the rest are rolled down to zero. Other times the sweet tracks are high and the darkness is low. But it's all you.
RZA
If there's no deals being made rappers, what happens to the lawyers. They've got to close their firms, they can't make no money. How can they make money from the client now? Litigation!
RZA
When scoring a film, empathy is the key. And it is just as important to use music to express the actors' emotions as it is to move the audience.
RZA
In today's society, the forces against you are heavy against you. The whole goal is to get knowledge of yourself, but people are so far from themselves that they don't believe themselves.
RZA
I love vinyl, you know? To me it has depth, warmth, it's the best way to really sample.
RZA
Just bring love. Everybody keeps bringing violence, let's bring love.
RZA
I believe in the 12 Jewels and try to provide my childrem with them. That is Knowledge, Wisdom, Understanding, Freedom, Justice, Equality, Food, Clothing, Shelter, Love, Peace and Happiness.
RZA
That's what I am. I warn people. Whenever I see and I feel things in my heart, I speak it.
RZA
Every aspect of your personality, if you're wise, you're able to separate each one of them and put them to use at the best time for the best position.
