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!

At the end of the day, just know that God made you, so you can be your own individual, and don't let people give you that peer pressure.

When I lose touch with the audience and the reality of what life really is, I'll be Vanilla Ice or something.

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.

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.

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

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