My parents were Christian.

Coming from Haiti and growing up in Brooklyn, there's a lot of European influence when I get dressed up. I wear a lot of fitted suits, elegant cuts; I think it's cool to mash up a lot of different looks.

The Wyclef Jean music is eclectic music. Wyclef represents music -eclectic music. I've been doing this music since I was a child, and I said I will refuse for anyone to put me into a box.

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

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

Wyclef is a musician that tried to unite as many musicians at once as possible. I am trying to be successful at that. The greatest challenge is that, I just got arrested for protesting in NYC for cutting the school budgets... And I think that it's important to stand up. Schools are important.

When you find the talent, it's always raw, and when you put the talent in the formula, you get the Knocks.
