I don't think people have ever really been in touch with science. They're drawn to it, but they don't know why they're drawn to it. For example, you may be blown away by the structure of something, like a soccer ball or a geodesic dome, with its hexagonal shapes.

It's gonna sound so boring to most people. There have been times when I've been told, 'Oh, you're doing an album about physics? I hope it's not boring.' They don't get the idea. Because rappers are so one-dimensional, so narrow-minded, it comes off corny.

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

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

Rap has always had a braggadocios flavour to it. That goes all the way back to 'Rapper's Delight.'

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.

Every family argues and goes through things.

Writing, for me, really started in the '70s as a young child. I used to read a lot of nursery rhymes, and I learned a lot of those rhymes word for word.

I love nature, and I love information.

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

Hip-hop started with street poets with great lyrical skills, and that's what hip-hop has always been about for me.

Education is the tool. Even if we haven't directly instructed a session, I think Wu-Tang has been an instructor of education to anyone who has been a fan, anyone who has supported our movement, whether its been from buying a Wu-Tang CD or coming to see a show.
