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

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'm not going away fast; I've been around for a while, and plan to be around for a while more.

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 think the greatest thing about America is the American Dream.

I don't see no more Billie Holidays, no more Marvin Gayes, no more Smokey Robinsons. I don't even see no more Nirvanas.

Bob Marley stood for universal peace and love. He tried to break racial barriers.
