Born Robert Fitzgerald Diggs, RZA (pronounced “rizza”) is effectively the leader of the Wu-Tang Clan, one of the most influential hip-hop groups for almost 30 years. During most of that time, RZA has also studied Shaolin kung fu, and his love of music and martial arts have coalesced in many cinematic projects. RZA costarred in Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai (1999), composed the score for Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2003), and directed The Man With the Iron Fists (2012). With this quote, the artist attributes success to pursuing your curiosities and passions, and staying true to your inner nature.
