More quotes by 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 was looking for Quincy Jones, that's who I was obsessed with. Watching Mike [Jackson], I always knew that I had to be a showman on stage, because when people come to you live you always want them to come back. You gotta give them something to remember.
Wyclef Jean
I'm the hip-hop Quincy Jones of today
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've been communicating with the Fugees, and it feels a lot better now than it did three or four years ago.
Wyclef Jean
I always look outside.
Wyclef Jean
My dad was in the hood, he was a minister, and he would always put churches in the ghetto.
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 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
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
I lived in a hut with no roof, and I rode to school on a donkey. I used to shoot birds with a slingshot to cook for dinner. Now I prefer to get my food from KFC.
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.
Wyclef Jean
When I'm rhyming it's all in my head... Like the slaves, when they were picking cotton, they would block out their minds. They would sing.
Wyclef Jean
For me, before I go on stage, it all depends. Might be a girl, might be an edible, might be a verse, might be somebody mixing something in my drink without me knowing - hopefully that won't happen tonight.
Wyclef Jean
All that violence in the world, we need to stop that
Wyclef Jean
I'm like Cab Calloway: I love the entertainment, and I've loved entertaining people ever since I was little.
Wyclef Jean
People often associate raves with drugs, but for me raves are more associated with self-expression.
Wyclef Jean
Mama, you know you raised me with no father figure. I wanna take this time to thank you, even though I'm doing life.
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
I think the greatest thing about America is the American Dream.
