I want to do something to help those who lost their parents, who lost their mothers and their fathers. Those are our people. Those are our children. Those are our parents.
Michael JacksonTo me, ballads are special, because you can have a pop song thatโll be know for three weeks and then youโll hear nothing else about it. Nobody else will record it and itโll just be gone. But if you do a good ballad, itโll be in the world forever.
Michael JacksonJust watching a girl can give me the best reason to smile. Girls are something very special and you got to treat them that way. That's why I always say don't stare right at a chick. She'll begin to fidget, wondering if her hair's messed up or if her make-up is smeared. It's kind of like going to an art gallery to see beautiful paintings. If you look at a painting just the right way, you get the most out of it!
