I will never ever sell Neverland
Michael Jackson
Image
My idea of magic doesn't have much to do with stage tricks and illusions. The whole world abounds in magic.
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
It puts a smile on my face to see all the children, and all the teenagers, and the adults - the demographics - it makes my heart very, very happy. I love them. I love all the fans, very much.
Michael Jackson
Image
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
Image
A musician knows hit material. It has to feel right. Everything has to feel in place. It fulfills you and it makes you feel good. You know it when you hear it.
Michael Jackson
Image
Look at how many great actors or entertainers have been lost to the world because they did a performance one night and that was it. With film, you capture that, it's shown all over the world and it's there forever.
Michael Jackson
Image
What I enjoy most about performing is making people happy. Just to make a person smile means more to me than anything.
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
No matter what you do, give it everything you have. Be the best, not the second best.
Michael Jackson

When they say the sky's the limit to me that's really true
Michael Jackson

Mama always told me, be careful what you do, don't go around breaking young girls hearts.
Michael Jackson
Image
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

James Brown, Ray Charles, Jackie Wilson, Chuck Berry and Little Richard - I think they had strong influences on a lot of people, because these were the guys who really got rock'n'roll going. I like to start with the origin of things, because once it gets along it changes. It's so interesting to see how it really was in the beginning.
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
I really do wish people could understand me some day.
Michael Jackson
Image
My attitude is if fashion says it's forbidden, I'm going to do it.
Michael Jackson
Image
People think they know me, but they don`t. Not really. Actually, I am one of the loneliest people on this earth. I cry sometimes, because it hurts. It does. To be honest, I guess you could say that it hurts to be me.
Michael Jackson
Image
I've forgotten many things, but I'll never forget a melody.
Michael Jackson
Image
That's what's great about show business. It's escapism. You pay your five bucks to get in and sit there and you're in another world. Forget about the problems in the world. It's wonderful.
