I was too shy to be around real people. It wasn't like old ladies talking to plants.

More quotes by Michael Jackson

Image
To give someone a piece of your heart, is worth more than all the wealth in the world.
Michael Jackson
Image
I never think about themes. I let the music create itself. I like it to be a potpourri of all kinds of sounds, all kinds of colors, something for everybody, from the farmer in Ireland to the lady who scrubs toilets in Harlem.
Michael Jackson
Image
I love experienced people. I love people who are phenomenally talented. I love people who've worked so hard and been so courageous and are the leaders in their fields. For me to meet somebody like that and learn from them and share words with them -to me that's magic.
Michael Jackson
Image
I am scared of my father to this day. My father walked in the room - and God knows I am telling the truth - I have fainted in his presence many times. I have fainted once to be honest. I have thrown up in his presence because when he comes in the room and this aura comes and my stomach starts hurting and I know I am in trouble.
Michael Jackson
Image
Music is a mantra that soothes the soul...something our body has to have. It's important to understand the power of music.
Michael Jackson
Image
Today I feel more betrayed than perhaps ever before, that someone who had got to know my children, my staff and me, whom I let into my heart and told the truth, could then sacrifice the trust I placed in him and produce this terrible and unfair program.
Michael Jackson
Image
We need Peace, We need Giving, We need Love, We need Unity.
Michael Jackson
Image
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
Image
In their innocence, very young children know themselves to be light and love. If we will allow them, they can teach us to see ourselves the same way.
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.
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
There are two kinds of music. One comes from the strings of a guitar, the other from the strings of the heart.
Michael Jackson
Image
You know, don't judge a person, do not pass judgement, unless you have talked to them one on one.
Michael Jackson
Image
No! Once the music plays, it creates me. The instruments move me, through me, they control me. Sometimes I'm uncontrollable and it just happens - boom, boom, boom! - once it gets inside you.
Michael Jackson
Image
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
When all life is seen as divine, everyone grows wings.
Michael Jackson
Image
No one should judge what I've done with my life, not unless they've been in my shoes every horrible day and every sleepless night.
Michael Jackson
Image
Deep inside I feel that this world we live in is really a big, huge, monumental symphonic orchestra. I believe that in its primordial form, all of creation is sound and that it's not just random sound, that it's music.
Michael Jackson
Image
Music is my contribution to life. I have my heart in it.
Michael Jackson
Image
There is no greater bliss than dancing and performing.
Michael Jackson
