I like to go against the grain, against what's out there. Every day is like a challenge.
Wyclef Jean
I think it's cool to do stuff in a different language. Basically, I learned English through listening to rap. A lot of people think it's funny. But it's true I used to try to get the accents.
Wyclef Jean
The reason why we're warriors is that we rise to the occasion anyone that's felt like the system put them down, and then they rose to the occasion, they're a warrior. It's not about whether you come from the hood or you come from the suburbs, you know what I mean? It's about reality and life.
Wyclef Jean
People often associate raves with drugs, but for me raves are more associated with self-expression.
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
If you go in the ring and box and you're angry, you're gonna lose the match.

What I picked up on Michael Jackson - because I study people when I watch them - the way that he counts his rhythm with his feet and his neck at the same time is crazy... so he's hearing multiple things at once. And I don't know anybody who does that.
Wyclef Jean
Respect, my brother, nothing but respect, man.
Wyclef Jean
Haiti is my country. The same way the Beatles are received in England - that's how Wyclef Jean is received in Haiti, do you know what I mean?
Wyclef Jean
I'm from the church, my dad was a pastor's kid.
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
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 daddy was a minister, my grandfather was a voodoo priest, my uncle was a mason I was raised with a lot of studies.
Wyclef Jean
I come from a hut, from a hut I went to the projects, from the projects I went to a mansion so you out there you have ABSOLUTLY NO EXCUSE!
Wyclef Jean
When I rap, I get to express myself in a way where putting words together is like poetry, and sometimes it's better to talk in certain expressions than sing, you know? So I love, I love to rhyme when I want to express certain things.
Wyclef Jean
Rap records don't make you feel good no more. Six months after release, it can't come back as a classic
Wyclef Jean
What I'm trying to do is break the genre from what is rap and what is music.
Wyclef Jean
I'm cheap, and I'm proud of it!
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 was a jazz major in high school, in an all-jazz band. No matter what I do, it features my musical influences.
