Be the best at what you do. Get to know more about your field than anybody alive.
Michael Jackson

For me, Love is something very pure.
Michael Jackson
Image
I've learned that love is not possessive and I've learned that love won't wait. Now I've learned that love needs expression, but I learned too late.
Michael Jackson

My singing... I'll just say it simple as possible: it's just godly.
Michael Jackson

I'm happy to be alive, I'm happy to be who I am.
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.

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.
Michael Jackson

No matter what you do, give it everything you have. Be the best, not the second best.
Michael Jackson
Image
We can help the world live without fear. It's our only hope, without hope we are lost.
Michael Jackson

If you don't have that memory of being loved, you are condemned to search the world for something to fill you up.
Michael Jackson
Image
In Africa, S. B. once remarked, if you do well, people close to you will hate you.
Michael Jackson
Image
Pierre Bordieu was right: The all powerful is he who does not wait but makes others wait. Absolute power is the power to make oneself unpredictable and deny other people any reasonable anticipation, to place them in total uncertainty by offering no scope for their capacity to predict.
Michael Jackson
Image
I could compose and write music and get to share it with the masses and the people around the world and to have them to receive it so beautifully - I love that.
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
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?
Michael Jackson
Image
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.

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.

I was a veteran, before I was a teenager.

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'.
