More quotes by Michael Jackson
There were times when I had great times with my brothers, pillow fights and things, but I used to always cry from loneliness.
Michael Jackson
We need Peace, We need Giving, We need Love, We need Unity.
Michael Jackson
Being a world traveler, I'm touched and moved by everything that happens, especially to children. It gets me emotionally sick and I go through a lot of pain when I see that type of pain. I can't pretend as if I don't see it. It affects me very much.
Michael Jackson
Oh, no, I think I'd die on my own. I'd be so lonely. Even at home, I'm lonely. I sit in my room and sometimes cry. It is so hard to make friends, and there are some things you can't talk to your parents or family about. I sometimes walk around the neighborhood at night, just hoping to find someone to talk to. But I just end up coming home.
Michael Jackson
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
My attitude is if fashion says it's forbidden, I'm going to do it.
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.
Michael Jackson
The magic, the wonder, the mystery and the innocence of a child’s heart are the seeds of creativity that will heal the world.
Michael Jackson
Together we can make a change of the world. Together we can help to stop racism. Together we can help to stop prejudice. We can help the world live without fear. It's our only hope, without hope we are lost.
Michael Jackson
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
Just try to stay a child as long as you can. Don't force into adulthood.
Michael Jackson
There are two kinds of music. One comes from the strings of a guitar, the other from the strings of the heart.
Michael Jackson
Because I think every child star suffers through this period because you're not the cute and charming child that you were. You start to grow, and they want to keep you little forever.
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
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
Look who's standing if you please, 'though you tried to bring me to my knees.
Michael Jackson
Everyday create your history, every path you take you're leaving your legacy.
Michael Jackson
I have a loving family, a strong faith and wonderful friends and fans who have, and continue, to support me.
Michael Jackson
Fred Astaire told me things I will never forget. Gene Kelly also said he liked my dancing. It was a fantastic experience because I felt I had been inducted into an informal fraternity of dancers, and I felt so honored because these were the people I most admired in the world.
Michael Jackson
Be the best at what you do. Get to know more about your field than anybody alive.
Michael Jackson
