My fans truly are a part of me, we share something that most people will never experience.

I would just go in my room and just scream out of anger because I didn't understand how a person could be so vicious and mean.
Michael Jackson
Image
I prefer children because they are honest. They don't want anything from you other than to have fun. Adults have let me down. Adults have let the world down.
Michael Jackson
Image
But they told me a man should be faithful, and walk when not able, and fight till the end but I'm only Human.
Michael Jackson
Image
I wasn't aware that the world thought I was so weird and bizarre. But when you grow up, like I did, in front of 100 million people since the age of 5, you're automatically different.
Michael Jackson

I've forgotten many things, but I'll never forget a melody.

I wrote a book called ‘Dancing The Dream’. It was more autobiographical than Moonwalk, which I did with Mrs. Onassis. It wasn’t full of gossip and scandal and all that trash that people write, so I don’t think people paid much attention to it, but it came from my heart. It was essays, thoughts and things that I’ve thought about while on tour

But I will never stop helping and loving people the way Jesus said to.
Michael Jackson

The idea is to take it a step forward and innovate. Or else why am I doing it? I don't want to be just another can in the assembly line. I want to create - do something that is totally different and unusual.
Michael Jackson
Image
I just can't conceive of how a person could hate another because of skin color. I love every race on the planet earth.
Michael Jackson
Image
I love to read. I wish I could advise more people to read. There’s a whole new world in books. If you can’t afford to travel, you travel mentally through reading. You can see anything and go any place you want to in reading.

With two children of my own, I know what it means to balance the demands of family and career - and let's not even talk about finding a date for myself. Rabbi Shmuley keeps telling me he'll find me the perfect woman. My response is, 'As long as she's not a journalist'.

When I was small I didn't really know what i was doing. I just sang and it came out sounding pretty good. I just do it and it happens.
Michael Jackson
Image
Often people just don't see what I see. They have too much doubt. You can't do your best when you're doubting yourself. If you don't believe in yourself, who will?

Real charity is giving from the heart without taking credit.

Wherever you go - in every country, or in every continent, people yearn and hunger for only one thing, to love and be loved. Love transcends international boundaries and heals the wounds of hatred, racial, prejudice, bigotry and ignorance. It is the ultimate truth at the heart of all creation.
