When the Fugees were big, we made a whole lot of money, and what happened was that I saved my money and never spent it.

I was a jazz major in high school, in an all-jazz band. No matter what I do, it features my musical influences.

I've known Clinton for probably the last year that he was in office and stuff. The vibe that I always got from Clinton was, you-know, he never gave me a president-vibe.

Rap records don't make you feel good no more. Six months after release, it can't come back as a classic

I've been communicating with the Fugees, and it feels a lot better now than it did three or four years ago.

What I'm trying to do is break the genre from what is rap and what is music.

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.
