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.
RZAConfusion is a gift from God. Those times when you feel most desperate for a solution, sit. Wait. The information will become clear. The confusion is there to guide you. Seek detachment and become the producer of your life.
RZAEvery 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.
RZAThe knowledge of self is the most important thing, because how are you going to know God if you don't know yourself? How are you going to know anything if you don't know yourself?
RZAI invested in the album. Look, if I never did anything again in music, it wouldnโt affect my life materially. I live a very satisfying life. Not because Iโve made a few dollars, but because I have a wife who loves me and children who wait for me to come home. And that is beautiful. I think thatโs the American dream: to be at peace at home.
