Quote

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.'

When I was five I was touring, singing and dancing. Always gone, always out of school.
Michael Jackson
Image
I love great music - it has no color, it has no boundaries.
Michael Jackson
Image
I think the actor or performer should be - to touch that truth inside of a person. Touch that reality so much that they become a part of what you're going and you can take them anywhere you want to.
Michael Jackson
Image
I just want to say to fans in every corner of the earth, every nationality, every race, every language: I love you from the bottom of my heart. I would love your prayers and your goodwill, and please be patient and be with me and believe in me because I am completely, completely innocent. But please know a lot of conspiracy is going on as we speak.

A lot of people think that I'm a Michael Jackson impersonator.
Michael Jackson

I see God in the face of children. If there were no children on this Earth, if somebody announced that all kids are dead, I would jump off the balcony immediately. I'm done.

Never ask for 'a beer.'
Michael Jackson
Image
Creatures crawl in search of blood to terrorize your neighborhood. And whosoever shall be found without the soul for getting down, must stand and face the hounds of hell, and rot inside a corpse's shell.
Michael Jackson
Image
The Earth we share is not just a rock tossed through space, but a living, nurturing being. She cares for us, she deserves our care in return.
Michael Jackson
Image
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.
Michael Jackson
Image
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
Image
I'm never satisfied with what I do. I always think I can do it a lot better.
Michael Jackson
Image
I know a tree feels it when the wind blows through it. It probably goes, 'Chhhhhh, this is wonderful.' And that's how I feel when I'm singing some songs. It's wonderful.
Michael Jackson
Image
I've been an ambassador of goodwill all over the world, spreading this message, did we do heal the world, treaty of all nations, circling this huge globe? What I don't understand is just singing about sex and I want to get in a hot tub with you baby and rub you all over and, but I get battered in the press as the weirdo.
Michael Jackson

I love movies and I love art - and an architect is an entertainer, the guy who builds a rollercoaster is an entertainer. He knows where to build the slopes, and the big anticipation when you go up... He makes you go, 'Oh my God!' when you get to the top before you come down. It's just the same as structuring a show or a dance.
Michael Jackson
Image
Being on stage is magic. There's nothing like it. You feel the energy of everybody who's out there. You feel it all over your body. When the lights hit you, it's all over, I swear it is.
Michael Jackson
Image
Be humble, believe in yourself, and have the love of the world in your heart.
Michael Jackson
Image
Let's all work to get people to drink more good beer, so if someone walks into your office and says he drinks Corona, don't immediately call him a dickhead.
Michael Jackson
Image
Be careful what you do, because the lie becomes the truth.
Michael Jackson
Image
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
