Michael Jackson

My mother's wonderful. To me she's perfection.

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.

There were times when I had great times with my brothers, pillow fights and things, but I was, used to always cry from loneliness.

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.

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.

When I see children, I see the face of God. That's why I love them so much. That's what I see.

The Bee Gees who are brilliant, I just love great music.

The greatest education in the world is watching the masters at work.

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.

To live is to be musical, starting with the blood dancing in your veins. Everything living has a rhythm. Do you feel your music?

And that's what innocence is. It's simple and trusting like a child, not judgmental and committed to one narrow point of view. If you are locked into a pattern of thinking and responding, your creativity gets blocked. You miss the freshness and magic of the moment. Learn to be innocent again, and that freshness never fades.

The bigger the star, the bigger the target.

My attitude is if fashion says it's forbidden, I'm going to do it.

Whenever I saw a sunset, I would quietly make my secret wish right before the sun tucked under the western horizon and disappeared. It would seem as if the sun had taken my wish with it. I'd make it right before the last speck of light vanished.

In many ways an artist is his work. It's difficult to separate the two. I think I can be brutally objective about my work as I create it, and if something doesn't work, I can feel it, but when I turn in a finished album _ or song _ you can be sure that I've given it every ounce of energy and God-given talent that I have.

I'm really very self-confident when it comes to my work. When I take on a project, I believe in it 100%. I really put my soul into it. I'd die for it. That's how I am

In the field I__ in, there is a lot of that and it gets offered to me all the time. People even go as far as to just stick it in your pocket and walk off. Now, if it was a good thing, they wouldn__ do that. I mean, would somebody drop something beautiful in my pocket and just walk off? But I don__ want to have anything to do with any of that. I mean, as corny as it sounds, but this is how I really believe: Natural highs are the greatest highs in the world. Who wants to take something and just sit around for the rest of the day after you take it (drugs), and don__ know who you are, what you__e doing, where you are? Take in something that__ gonna inspire you to do greater things in the world.
