Get the Quote of the Day from Michael Jackson
I'm happy to be alive, I'm happy to be who I am.
I'm a black American, I am proud of my race. I am proud of who I am. I have a lot of pride and dignity.
If you enter this world knowing you are loved and you leave this world knowing the same, then everything that happens in between can be dealt with.
When I see children, I see the face of God. That's why I love them so much. That's what I see.
I just wish I could understand my father.
Everyone who knows me will know the truth, which is that my children come first in my life and that I would never harm any child.
Because parents have power over children. They feel they have to do what their parents say. But the love of money is the root of all evil. And this is a sweet child. And to see him turn like this, this isn't him. This is not him.
But I will never stop helping and loving people the way Jesus said to.
Children show me in their playful smiles the divine in everyone. This simple goodness shines straight from their hearts and only asks to be lived.
Everything that I love is behind those gates. We have elephants, and giraffes, and crocodiles, and every kind of tigers and lions. And - and we have bus loads of kids, who don't get to see those things. They come up sick children, and enjoy it.
I was a veteran, before I was a teenager.
Because I wanted to have a place that I could create everything that I that I never had as a child. So, you see rides. You see animals. There's a movie theater.
Before I would hurt a child, I would slit my wrists.
And I remember going to the record studio and there was a park across the street and I'd see all the children playing and I would cry because it would make me sad that I would have to work instead.
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.
I love my family very much. I wish I could see them a little more often than I do. But we understand because we're a show business family and we all work.
I rememeber one time we were getting ready to go to South America and everything was packed up and in the car ready to go and I hid and I was crying because I really did not want to go, I wanted to play. I did not want to go.
I will say again that I have never, and would never, harm a child. It sickens me that people have written untrue things about me.
I'm just like anyone. I cut and I bleed. And I embarass easily.
You know, let's put it this way, if all the people in Hollywood who have had plastic surgery, if they went on vacation, there wouldn't be a person left in town.
