I am bewildered at the length to which people will go to portray me so negatively.

I will be acquitted and vindicated when the truth is told.

The magic, the wonder, the mystery and the innocence of a child’s heart are the seeds of creativity that will heal the world.

I'm willing to forgive the press, or forgive anybody, I was taught to love and forgive, which I do have in my heart.

I don't like to see anybody hurt or suffer, especially children.

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?

I have been a vulnerable target for those who want money.
