And that's what innocence is. It's simple and trusting like a child, not judgmental and committed to one narrow point of view.

Michael JacksonThereโs a whole psychological reason for those cartoons about good against evil. We have "Superman" and all those other hero people, so that we can go out into life and try to be something. Iโve got most of Disneyโs animated movies on video-tapes, and when we watch them. Oh, I could just eat it, eat it. [โฆ] Jimmy Cricket, Pinocchio, Mickey Mouse โ these are world-known characters. Some of the greatest political figures have come to the United States to meet them.
Michael JacksonOnce at a record store in San Francisco, over a thousand kids showed up. They pushed forward and broke a window. A big piece of glass fell on top of this girl. And the girl's throat was slit. She just got slit. And I remember there was blood everywhere. Oh God, so much blood. And she grabbed her throat and was bleeding and everyone just ignored her. Why? Because I was there and they wanted to grab at me and get my autograph. I wonder whatever happened to that girl.
