The thing that I love most about being on stage is making people happy...It's my job to do that, and I enjoy it.
Michael Jackson
Image
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
Image
People need love. It’s the most powerful emotion in the world.
Michael Jackson
Image
I love putting on an outfit or a costume and just looking at myself in the mirror. Baggy pants or some real funky shoes and a hat and just feeling the character of it. That's fun to me.
Michael Jackson
Image
Be careful what you do, because the lie becomes the truth.
Michael Jackson
Image
Ain't no mountain that I can't climb, baby
Michael Jackson
Image
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
Image
Heal the world! Stop the hate. Lend a helping hand to those in need.
Michael Jackson
Image
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
Image
I don't understand why the press is so interested in speculating about my appearance, anyway. What does my face have to do with my music or my dancing?
Michael Jackson
Image
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
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
But I will never stop helping and loving people the way Jesus said to.
Michael Jackson
Image
Well, you don't get to do things that other children get to do, having friends and slumber parties and buddies. There were none of that for me. I didn't have friends when I was little. My brothers were my friends.
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
Just doing as well as you did last time is not good enough.
Michael Jackson
Image
I don't care if the whole world is against you or teasing you or saying you are not gonna make it. Believe in yourself, no matter what.
Michael Jackson
Image
Somebody once said it's the SOUL that matters
Michael Jackson
Image
Real charity is giving from the heart without taking credit.
Michael Jackson
Image
Most people don't know me, that is why they write such things in which most is not true. I cry very very often because it hurts and I worry about the children, all my children all over the world, I live for them.
Michael Jackson
