You know, I'm a modern day Harry Belafonte; I got the swagger of the island.

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.

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

'Masquerade' is the autobiography of Wyclef Jean. A lot of people know me through my work with Carlos Santana or Destiny's Child, winning all those Grammy Awards, but you do not know what is going on inside me.

That's the best way to feed the human mind. That's how Bob Marley did it. He never put it in your face. After you got the groove, you were just singing the hooks, because you thought it was cool.
