When I finally decided to do the show, I only had two weeks to learn the choreography and the songs in French.

As far as I'm concerned, my life is just beginning. It's never too late to start over, so this is what I've been doing.

Black people were very angry with me for writing the book. A lot of people didn't believe me, or didn't want to believe me, and that used to really bother me. It was a very painful and difficult time.

People had this image of the Jacksons as the perfect American family and I destroyed that image. But what people have to understand is writing that book was very healing for me.

I posed nude to show my parents they couldn't dictate to me any more - that I control my life.

I can count the number of dates I've had on one hand. I wish that guys would approach me, but they don't.

I can honestly say that I am happier now than I have ever been. For the first time in my life I feel free.
