More quotes by Michael Jackson
I see God through my children. I speak to God through my children. I am humbled for the blessings He has given me.
Michael Jackson
I was too shy to be around real people. It wasn't like old ladies talking to plants.
Michael Jackson
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
I'm a collector of cartoons. All the Disney stuff, Bugs Bunny, the old MGM ones. It's real escapism, it's like everything's alright. It's like the world is happening now in a far away city. Everything's fine.
Michael Jackson
As corny as it sounds, natural highs are the greatest highs in the world. The stars, the mountains, children, babies smiling are just magic.
Michael Jackson
I'm trying to imitate Jesus in the fact that he said to be like children, to love children, to be as pure as children and to make yourself as innocent and to see the world through eyes of wonderment and the whole magical quality of it all.
Michael Jackson
Before you judge me , try hard to love me , look within your heart Then ask , - have you seen my childhood ?
Michael Jackson
Beat me, hate me, you can never break me.
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.
Michael Jackson
The major ingredient of any recipe for fear is the unknown.
Michael Jackson
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
Michael Jackson
I really do wish people could understand me some day.
Michael Jackson
The actor's tense, he's being taped and things are not falling naturally. That's what I hate about Boadway. I feel like I'm giving a whole lot for nothing. I like to capture things and hold them there and share them with the whole world.
Michael Jackson
I'm really very self-confident when it comes to my work. When I take on a project, I believe in it 100%. I really put my soul into it. I'd die for it. That's how I am.
Michael Jackson
I want people to hear or watch something I've done and feel that I've given it everything I've got.
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
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
There is no greater bliss than dancing and performing.
Michael Jackson
They scream, they cry, they love, they support, they defend, they listen. My fans are everything.
Michael Jackson
It's [music composition] the most effortless thing in the world because you don't do anything. I hate to say it like that, but it's the truth.
Michael Jackson
