I'm from the church, my dad was a pastor's kid.

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.

I lived in the projects and the ghetto, and turned the negative into a positive.

In the beginning I had women problems, 'cause you know, I represent for the guys. But I was actin' a fool, whilin' out. I'm not sayin' I don't while out anymore. I'm not gonna lie to you.

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!

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

I'm cheap, and I'm proud of it!
