Ever since I was a little kid, there used to be the Carnival that used to pass.

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!

For everybody who lost somebody out there and stuff, when you need therapy, music is the best way.

I know that the nice shines I have on is going to pass. The nice cars will pass. All that will stay is the music and the work. That's where I get the inspiration to help people out and work

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've never really [written] something that was inspired.

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