MJ Speeches & Quotes

One of the things he always told me was, Don’t be afraid to be different. In other words, when you have that desire, that drive, people are going to try to pull you away from that, and pull you closer to the pack to be “normal.” And he was saying, It’s O.K. to be that driven; it’s O.K. to be obsessed with what you want to do. That’s perfectly fine. Don’t be afraid to not deviate from that. One of the books that he gave me that helped him communicate with me was Jonathan Livingston Seagull, which was about that.
Beyond the genius of what he was, he was just a genuinely, genuinely nice person. He got me hooked on movies that I would normally never watch. Fred Astaire movies. All the old classics. I would never, never watch those. I remember my fiancée and I telling him we were getting married, and him just being really excited and actually just offering up the ranch to have our wedding there, because privacy was going to be an issue. We wanted to get married in a church, so that’s what we wound up doing. But he made the offer. He was just a genuinely nice person who was exceptionally bright, exceptionally bright, and driven and talented. You mix those things together, man, you have Michael Jackson.

Is this true? Can anyone shed some light?
MC Hammer once challenged Jackson to a dance-off. He was told to Beat It.
Jackson reportedly responded, “I’ve seen your videos and every single dance move you use, you got off of me.”
We hope MJ also said…
“Hammer, U can’t touch this, so just STOP MJ TIME”
For our younger readers – Wiki says “MC Hammer is remembered for a rapid rise to fame before losing the majority of his fortune, he is also known for his hit records, including “U Can’t Touch This”, flamboyant dance techniques and trademark Hammer pants. Hammer’s superstar-status made him a household name and pop icon.”
We can’t lie though, we did buy one or two of his records…O and hands up if you had Hammer pants?

That white glove.
A fool would underestimate the iconic power of that white glove.
In the villages of Africa, in the endless frozen horizon of the Arctic, everyone knows that white glove? Why?
For reasons we can never understand, but also because there’s only one.
The other white glove is missing.
But the absence has turned the bereft and heartbroken glove that remains into a glittering piece of defiant joy.
It’s the national flag of Michael Jackson.

I trusted Martin Bashir to come into my life and that of my family because I wanted the truth to be told. Martin Bashir persuaded me to trust him that his would be an honest and fair portrayal of my life and told me that he was the man that turned Diana`s life around. I am surprised that a professional journalist would compromise his integrity by deceiving me in this way. Today I feel more betrayed than perhaps ever before; that someone, who had got to know my children, my staff and me, whom I let into my heart and told the truth, could then sacrifice the trust I placed in him and produce this terrible and unfair programme. Everyone who knows me will know the truth which is that my children come first in my life and that I would never harm any child. I also want to thank my fans around the world for the overwhelming number of messages of support that I have received, particularly from Great Britain, where people have e-mailed me and said how appalled they were by the Bashir film. Their love and support has touched me greatly.

Michael was reportedly upset with Mottola for not promoting his comeback album, Invincible. Apparently Jackson’s criticism had an impact. Six months later, in January of 2003, Mottola resigned as chairman of Sony. He was replaced by Andrew Lack.

A foxnews Report:
Prince and Paris Jackson, children of perhaps the world’s most famous man, stepped into unfamiliar territory at the 52nd Grammy Awards on Sunday night – the spotlight.
Michael Jackson’s eldest children, who he always protected from the public eye, accepted their dad’s posthumous Lifetime Achievement Award, and while their courage brought about a standing ovation, it was clear the two had trouble getting through their speech.
“We are proud to be here to accept this award on behalf of our father, Michael Jackson,” 12-year-old Prince said, before getting choked up and stammering. “First of all, we’d like to thank God for watching over us for the past seven months. And our grandmother and grandfather for their love and support. We would also like to thank the fans. Our father loved you so much because you were always there for him. Our father was always concerned about the planet and humanity. Through all his hard work and dedication, he’s helped with many charities and donated to all of them.”
Eleven-year-old Paris closed the acceptance with a few more words; however she was clearly overcome by the moment.
“Daddy was supposed to be here, Daddy was gonna perform this year,” she said quickly. “He couldn’t perform last year. Thank you, we love you, Daddy.”

“People think they know me, but they don’t. Not really. Actually, I am one of the loneliest people on this earth. I cry sometimes, because it hurts. It does. To be honest, I guess you could say that it hurts to be me.”

“If you enter this world knowing you are loved and you leave this world knowing the same, then everything that happens in between can be dealt with.”

Yes, and I had pimples so badly it used to make me so shy. I used not to look at myself. I’d hide my face in the dark, I wouldn’t want to look in the mirror and my father teased me and I just hated it and I cried everyday

Because I think every child star suffers through this period because you’re not the cute and charming child that you were. You start to grow, and they want to keep you little forever.
