I think that the kinds of stereotypes that people have about Haitians or about HIV sufferers exist because we don't realize that these are our brothers, our sisters, our aunts and uncles, our neighbors. They are us. And I don't mean that in some metaphorical sense. They are literally us.

Since the 1960s, exile for Haitians is a condition that ends only to begin again.

When I came in, Haiti was not governed by Haitians anymore. Probably mostly by NGOs. And that has done what to Haiti? It has weakened our institution.

I think if you want good things to happen for a country like Haiti, then you need to provide the circumstances where the Haitians can do that.
