And I remember going to the record studio and there was a park
across the street and I'd see all the children playing and I would cry because
it would make me sad that I would have to work instead.
Michael Jackson
Because I think every child star
suffers through this period because you're not the cute and charming child that
you were. You start to grow, and they want to keep you little forever.
Michael Jackson
Because I wanted to have a place that I could
create everything that I that I never had as a child. So, you see rides. You see
animals. There's a movie theater.
Michael Jackson
Because parents have power over children. They
feel they have to do what their parents say. But the love of money is the root
of all evil. And this is a sweet child. And to see him turn like this, this
isn't him. This is not him.
Michael Jackson
Before I would hurt a child, I would slit my
wrists.
Michael Jackson
But I will never stop helping and loving people
the way Jesus said to.
Michael Jackson
Children show me in their playful smiles the
divine in everyone. This simple goodness shines straight from their hearts and
only asks to be lived.
Michael Jackson
Elizabeth Taylor is gorgeous, beautiful, and she
still is today, I'm crazy about her.
Michael Jackson
Everyone who knows me will know the truth, which
is that my children come first in my life and that I would never harm any
child.
Michael Jackson
Everything that I love is behind those gates. We
have elephants, and giraffes, and crocodiles, and every kind of tigers and
lions. And - and we have bus loads of kids, who don't get to see those things.
They come up sick children, and enjoy it.
Michael Jackson
I have a skin disorder that destroys the
pigmentation of my skin, it's something that I cannot help, OK?
Michael Jackson
I just wish I could understand my
father.
Michael Jackson
I love my family very much. I wish I could see
them a little more often than I do. But we understand because we're a show
business family and we all work.
Michael Jackson
I rememeber one time we were getting ready to go
to South America and everything was packed up and in the car ready to go and I
hid and I was crying because I really did not want to go, I wanted to play. I
did not want to go.
Michael Jackson
I was a veteran, before I was a teenager.
Michael Jackson
I will say again that I have never, and would
never, harm a child. It sickens me that people have written untrue things about
me.
Michael Jackson
I'm a black American, I am proud of my race. I
am proud of who I am. I have a lot of pride and dignity.
Michael Jackson
I'm happy to be alive, I'm happy to
be who I am.
Michael Jackson
I'm just like anyone. I cut and I bleed. And I
embarass easily.
Michael Jackson
I'm never pleased with anything, I'm a
perfectionist, it's part of who I am.
Michael Jackson
I've helped many, many, many children, thousands of children,
cancer kids, leukemia kids.
Michael Jackson
If you enter this world knowing you are loved
and you leave this world knowing the same, then everything that happens in
between can be dealt with.
Michael Jackson
It's a complete lie, why do people buy these
papers? It's not the truth I'm here to say. You know, don't judge a person, do
not pass judgement, unless you have talked to them one on one. I don't care what
the story is, do not judge them because it is a lie.
Michael Jackson
Just because it's in print doesn't
mean it's the gospel.
Michael Jackson
Let us dream of tomorrow where we can truly love
from the soul, and know love as the ultimate truth at the heart of all
creation.
Michael Jackson
Me and Janet really are two different
people.
Michael Jackson
My mother's wonderful. To me she's
perfection.
Michael Jackson
People write negatives things, cause they feel
that's what sells. Good news to them, doesn't sell.
Michael Jackson
Please keep an open mind and let me
have my day in court.
Michael Jackson
The Bee Gees who are brilliant, I just love
great music.
Michael Jackson
The greatest education in the world is watching
the masters at work.
Michael Jackson
The meaning of life is contained in every single
expression of life. It is present in the infinity of forms and phenomena that
exist in all of creation.
Michael Jackson
There were times when I had great times with my
brothers, pillow fights and things, but I was, used to always cry from
loneliness.
Michael Jackson
They did it to try and belittle me, to try and
to take away my pride. But I went through the whole system with them. And at the
end, I - I wanted the public to know that I was okay, even though I was
hurting.
Michael Jackson
Well Brooke, I've always liked her, and when I
was little I used to stay with Diana Ross, me and my brothers stayed with her
for years and I never said, but I always had a crush on her.
Michael Jackson
Well, especially now I come to
realize - and then - I would do my schooling which was three hours with a tutor
and right after that I would go to the recording studio and record, and I'd
record for hours and hours until it's time to go to sleep.
Michael Jackson
Well, you don't get to do things
that other children get to do, having friends and slumber parties and buddies.
There were none of that for me. I didn't have friends when I was little. My
brothers were my friends.
Michael Jackson
When I see children, I see the face of God.
That's why I love them so much. That's what I see.
Michael Jackson
Why can't you share your bed? The
most loving thing to do is to share your bed with someone. It's very charming.
It's very sweet. It's what the whole world should do.
Michael Jackson
Yeah, Wacko Jacko, where did that
come from? Some English tabloid. I have a heart and I have feelings. I feel that
when you do that to me. It's not nice.
Michael Jackson
Yes, and I had pimples so badly it used to make me so shy. I
used not to look at myself. I'd hide my face in the dark, I wouldn't want to
look in the mirror and my father teased me and I just hated it and I cried
everyday.
Michael Jackson
You know, let's put it this way, if all the
people in Hollywood who have had plastic surgery, if they went on vacation,
there wouldn't be a person left in town.
Michael Jackson.
