The public library is more than a repository of books. It's a mysterious, wondrous place with the power to change lives.

On Michael Jackson and child stardom: He had one of the worst childhoods ever. I think I had the second.

I never face the day without perfume.

I, along with the critics, have never taken myself very seriously.

I hate being called "Liz", because it can sound like such a hiss.

If you can't laugh at yourself, you're cooked!

Michael Jackson is part of my heart. We would do anything for each other.
