I picked up that whole vibe, and I’m moving toward the future with it: the vibe of Bob Marley, Jimi Hendrix, Curtis Mayfield, that type of thing. Because I’m a musician. I think that my...

My daddy was a minister, my grandfather was a voodoo priest, my uncle was a mason; I was raised with a lot of studies.

I’m like Cab Calloway: I love the entertainment, and I’ve loved entertaining people ever since I was little.

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

I had to make this album. It was my therapy after losing my dad. If I didn’t have music, I’d probably be strung-out somewhere.

She looks the most beautiful when she’s in the field natural, no makeup, nothing, Because you see Angelina, the angel. It doesn’t get any better than that.

I lived in a hut with no roof, and I rode to school on a donkey. I used to shoot birds with a slingshot to cook for dinner. Now I prefer to get my food...

I don’t have to be president to do great things for my country, but at the same time, to get legislation and policy passed, you have to be in some kind of office. So I...

When you’re sleeping or getting up to go to school, that’s when we’re just leaving the studio, and we’ll be gone for three hours and then come back and be working another 15 to 20...

They said somehow I used to run out of the house and while the Carnival’s passing, with no clothes on, and I’m jigging my body, they used to come and pull me in. They said...

I was a jazz major in high school, in an all-jazz band. No matter what I do, it features my musical influences.

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

When you pick up The Carnival, you get the big genre.

I like Bergen County because it’s nice and quiet. It’s beautiful, and I can get to the city way quick.

I always want to know what’s wrong with you, why you ain’t smiling. That’s just my character; I just love people and want to see people having a good time.

I’m most comfortable when you just give me a guitar and I just sing.

When I first heard Bob Marley I was 12 years old. I had just come to the United States from Haiti, and was living in the Marlborough Houses in Brooklyn.

I always have a producer to the side of me, and I never want to do a record by myself.

I want to see the violence in Haiti stopped. Innocent people, innocent children are getting hurt and killed every day.

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...

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...

When you’re in the Caribbean, you’re having the best time, you’re hearing a lot of beats and rhythms that you don’t hear in New York sometimes, ’cause then you come back and it’s snowing.

I realized you always have to go back to the roots. My vibe for this album was basically here, Brooklyn, and Jersey.

With Yele Haiti, the first thing was I’m proud of the organization and the work that the organization has done, and in the future hope to continue doing.

You gotta be born with it, baby. We walk with the lip, we talk with the slang. And we pretty. We pretty, baby. We move like Ali in his young days. We good with the...

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

We’re building a movement, a one million man movement.

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.

If I can’t take five years out to serve my country as president, then everything I’ve been singing about, like equal rights, doesn’t mean anything.

I broke the stereotype. Then I picked up the wand and conducted, using my hip-hop vibe. Right there was an experience for me and for them. We are living in a new millennium, a new...

Masquerade was on the Net for like four months, five months before it came out. Right now, everyone’s trying to see if they can come up with a code where they can prevent that from...
