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.

The Wyclef Jean music is eclectic music. Wyclef represents music -eclectic music. I've been doing this music since I was a child, and I said I will refuse for anyone to put me into a box.
Wyclef Jean
It was important to me to go back to the grungy, because all of a sudden you get excited again, 'cause there's another whole dimension of 'Clef that you wasn't expecting to hear.
Wyclef Jean
I like to go against the grain, against what's out there. Every day is like a challenge.
Wyclef Jean
I want to be part of a different kind of celebrity, one that thinks not just about charity but policy.

I like Bergen County because it's nice and quiet. It's beautiful, and I can get to the city way quick.
