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 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 don't know what the future will lead to.

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.

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.

Frankly, I'd rather make a little bit less money if it means living in a better world for books and publishing in the future.

At 19, I got signed up for commercials, it was easy money.

The money doesn't really matter. I've been a multi-millionaire for a long time. My sons are rich.

When I was losing my hearing, we had to buy hearing aids and they were incredibly expensive. It was a huge financial situation.
