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.

My battle raps couldn't get me groceries from the supermarket.
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
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
Once we revolutionize the music industry, then we can revolutionize our communities and everything in the world, 'cause what happens is, the communities are listening to the music.
Wyclef Jean
On Sundays I give the sermons like my dad used to give. I utilize it as a revolutionary tool, as a thinking tool, as a tool where I can recruit people, DM them, and give them information that I feel that they need going forward.
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
The reason why we love America so much is America is the only place you can actually come in and wave your flag.
Wyclef Jean
When you find the talent, it's always raw, and when you put the talent in the formula, you get the Knocks.

My parents were Christian.
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
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
Wyclef is a musician that tried to unite as many musicians at once as possible. I am trying to be successful at that. The greatest challenge is that, I just got arrested for protesting in NYC for cutting the school budgets... And I think that it's important to stand up. Schools are important.

Keep in mind: true revolution is only seven people, right?
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 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
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
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 like Bergen County because it's nice and quiet. It's beautiful, and I can get to the city way quick.
Wyclef Jean
I'm cheap, and I'm proud of it!
