I say, ‘You should blanket me’ or ‘you should blanket her’, meaning like a blanket is a blessing. It’s a way of showing love and caring.
Michael Jackson

I am always writing a potpourri of music. I want to give the world escapism through the wonder of great music and to reach the masses.
Michael Jackson

All the forms of popular music from jazz to hip-hop, to bebop, to soul [come from black innovation]. You talk about different dances from the catwalk, to the jitterbug, to the Charleston, to break dancing -\-\ all these are forms of black dancing...What would [life] be without a song, without a dance, and joy and laughter, and music.

I like people who can make you laugh without using vulgarity, or bad words.

Songwriting is a very frustrating art form. You have to get on tape exactly what's playing inside your head
Michael Jackson

Oh, no, I think I'd die on my own. I'd be so lonely. Even at home, I'm lonely. I sit in my room and sometimes cry. It is so hard to make friends, and there are some things you can't talk to your parents or family about. I sometimes walk around the neighborhood at night, just hoping to find someone to talk to. But I just end up coming home.

Just because it's in print doesn't mean it's the gospel.
Michael Jackson

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

I prefer just being with people I like. That's my way of celebrating.
Michael Jackson
Image
When I step out on stage in front of thousands of people, I don't feel that I'm being brave. It can take much more courage to express true feelings to one person. [...] In spite of the risks, the courage to be honest and intimate opens the way to self-discovery. It offers what we all want, the promise of love.
Michael Jackson
Image
Escapism and wonder is influence. It makes you feel good, and that allows you to do things. You just keep on moving ahead, and you say, 'God, is this wonderful - do I appreciate it.'
Michael Jackson
Image
I was too shy to be around real people. It wasn't like old ladies talking to plants.
Michael Jackson
Image
I'm willing to forgive the press, or forgive anybody, I was taught to love and forgive, which I do have in my heart.

Heal the world! Stop the hate. Lend a helping hand to those in need.

People who grew up as child stars have the same thing in common. You're cute, they love you you go through the awkward stage, they don't accept you any more. Very few make the transition to adult star.
