I haven't accomplished nothing yet - I have a long way to go.

Haiti is my country. The same way the Beatles are received in England - that's how Wyclef Jean is received in Haiti, do you know what I mean?

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

I feel that life is short, so we should be disciplined, but at the same time we should have a good time.

No matter how far you go, if you can't go back to the essence, you're not sayin' nothin'. The essence for me is hip-hop. But the hip-hop community I came up in isn't a loyal community.

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

It's important, when you see darkness, to understand that there's light ahead of that, and I'm the living testimony of that, you dig?
