I can't say it's not painful being estranged from most of my family. I wish it could be otherwise.

For so long, I was controlled and manipulated by other people. Whatever people think of me, I'm finally doing what I want to do.

I'm a creature of habit and I like to stay in my own little comfort zone, but you have to reach out of that sometimes. And when you do that, you grow.

When people are in love, I don't see anything wrong with it in the world. If they choose to live their lives and get married, why should we interfere? A lot of people don't agree with me, but that's how I feel.

This is a very big victory for Michael and we are all very proud that he has been completely and totally vindicated in court, as we were certain he would be.

He will be beginning a brand new chapter in the Michael Jackson legend.

Our marriage is strictly in name only. It has never been consummated.
