If you go in the ring and box and you're angry, you're gonna lose the match.
Wyclef Jean
When you find the talent, it's always raw, and when you put the talent in the formula, you get the Knocks.
Wyclef Jean
You get quick money, it's beautiful, there's sunshine, but at the end of the day, you find out it's all a masquerade, baby. It's not what it seems.
Wyclef Jean
There's not a hip-hop artist that didn't snatch of piece of Bob Marley. It's totally impossible.
Wyclef Jean
I feel that life is short, so we should be disciplined, but at the same time we should have a good time.
Wyclef Jean
I don't see no more Billie Holidays, no more Marvin Gayes, no more Smokey Robinsons. I don't even see no more Nirvanas.
Wyclef Jean
Bob Marley stood for universal peace and love. He tried to break racial barriers.
Wyclef Jean
That's the best way to feed the human mind. That's how Bob Marley did it. He never put it in your face. After you got the groove, you were just singing the hooks, because you thought it was cool.
Wyclef Jean
I'm not going away fast I've been around for a while, and plan to be around for a while more.
Wyclef Jean
People often associate raves with drugs, but for me raves are more associated with self-expression.
Wyclef Jean

Wyclef Jean
If I can't take five years out to serve my country as president, then everything I've been singing about, like equal rights, doesn't mean anything.
Wyclef Jean
It will be true work that the kids can follow, as opposed to a facade of you doin' something, and you're doin' nothing.
Wyclef Jean
When you're talkin' about a great man, you're not talking more than one person. It's not about how many people are followin' you, it's about the fact that you're a great man, that's all it's about.
Wyclef Jean
I want to be part of a different kind of celebrity, one that thinks not just about charity but policy.
Wyclef Jean
I've known Clinton for probably the last year that he was in office and stuff. The vibe that I always got from Clinton was, you-know, he never gave me a president-vibe.
Wyclef Jean
When you enter the realm of politics, you don't enter it because you want to be popular. When I want to be popular, I pull on a guitar and sing a song.
Wyclef Jean
My first record wasn't even with the Fugees. I was signed to Big Beat Records, so I was signed back in 1989 to the label that the Knocks are on now. You can always tell which generation had the pulse based on how they see things.
Wyclef Jean
I do music for the love of it, and I've been doing it from a very young age: about 11.
Wyclef Jean
My battle raps couldn't get me groceries from the supermarket.
