A lot of my music is very reggae- driven. Half of my life Bob Marley was all I listened to.

Every generation is gonna keep changing, and you just have to embrace the change.

I want people to experience what it's like being from Haiti, coming to America, being Wyclef - multicultural, multilingual.

I hear them playing Elvis, they on they way to Graceland. But they don't scare me, I'm in the trunk.

I don't have to be president to do great things for my country, but at the same time, to get legislation and policy passed, you have to be in some kind of office. So I don't know what the future will lead to.

You know, I'm a modern day Harry Belafonte; I got the swagger of the island.

'Masquerade' is the autobiography of Wyclef Jean. A lot of people know me through my work with Carlos Santana or Destiny's Child, winning all those Grammy Awards, but you do not know what is going on inside me.
chicks dig
When I go into the studio... I want it to say something, but at the same time, I want the chicks to dig it. It's got to be sexy.
