In many ways an artist is his work. It's difficult to separate the two. I think I can be brutally objective about my work as I create it, and if something doesn't work, I can feel it, but when I turn in a finished album — or song — you can be sure that I've given it every ounce of energy and God-given talent that I have.
Вярвам в желанията и в умението на личността да претвори желаното в действителност. Наистина вярвам! Всеки път, когато видя слънчев залез, безмълвно отправям съкровеното си желание малко преди слънцето да се закъта в западния хоризонт и да се изгуби. Струва ми се, че то е успяло да вземе моето желание със себе си точно преди да изчезне и последната искрица светлина. Тогава желанието е повече от желание, то е цел. То е нещо, което вашето съзнание и подсъзнание може да направи реалност.
Like the old Indian proverb says, do not judge a man until you've walked 2 moons in his moccasins.
Most people don't know me, that is why they write such things in which most is not true. I cry very very often because it hurts and I worry about the children, all my children all over the world, I live for them.
If a man could say nothing against a character but what he could prove, history could not be written.
Animals strike not from malice but because they want to live, it is the same with those who criticize, they desire our blood not our pain. But still I must achieve I must seek truth in all things. I must endure for the power I was sent forth, for the world for the children.
But have mercy, for I've been bleeding a long time now. MJ.

I have begun to see that even my father's harshness was a kind of love. An imperfect love, to be sure, but love nonetheless. He pushed me because he loved me, because he wanted no man to ever look down at his offspring. Now with time, rather than bitterness I feel blessing.… My initial fury has slowly given way to forgiveness.
