They (children) are my teachers. I watch them and I learn. It is important for us to try and be like them and imitate them. They are golden.

I'm a black American, I am proud of my race. I am proud of who I am. I have a lot of pride and dignity.

Your cameras can't control the minds of those who know, that you'll even sell your soul just to get a story sold.

They didn't trademark everything back then. Now someone farts and they put a TM after it. Even Miller Lite says 'A Fine Pilsner Beer' on the label. It is a crime.

It's been my fate to compensate for the childhood I've never known.

I'm not a comedian. I'm not a show host. I'm a musician. That's why I've turned down offers to host the Grammy Awards and the American Music Awards. Is it really entertaining for me to get up there and crack a few weak jokes and force people to laugh because I'm Michael Jackson, when I know in my heart that I'm not funny?
