- Know what I also love? Mannequins. I guess I want to bring them to life. I like to imagine talking to them. wewe know what I think it is?
Yeah, I think I'll say it.
I think I'm accompanying myself with Marafiki I never had. I probably have two friends. And I just got them. Being an entertainer, wewe just can't tell who is your friend. And they see wewe so differently. A nyota instead of a next-door neighbor. That's what it is. I surround myself with people I want to be my friends. And I can do that with mannequins. I'll talk to them.
I sit there and say, 'Please don't call me up, I am too shy.' But once I get up there, I take control of myself. Being onstage is magic. There's nothing like it. wewe feel the energy of everybody who's out there. wewe feel it all over your body. When the lights hit you, it's all over, I swear it is.
Snakes are very misunderstood. Snakes, I suggest, may be the oldest victims of bad press.
I wake up from dreams and go, 'Wow, put this down on paper.' The whole thing is strange. wewe hear the words, everything is right there in front of your face. And wewe say to yourself, 'I'm sorry, I just didn't write this. It's there already.' That's why I hate to take credit for the songs I've written. I feel that somewhere, someplace, it's been done and I'm just a courier bringing it into the world. I really believe that. I upendo what I do. I'm happy at what I do. It's escapism.
"Michael Jackson - Life in the magical kingdom" - Rolling Stone (February 17, 1983)
- Like the old Indian proverb says, do not judge a man until you've walked 2 moons in his moccosins.
- Most people don't know me, that is why they write such things in wich 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.
wanyama 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.
Handwritten note published in People (12 October 1987)
- Consciousness expresses itself through creation. This world we live in is the dance of the Creator. Dancers come and go in the twinkling of an eye but the dance lives on. On many an occasion when I am dancing, I have felt touched kwa something sacred. In those moments, I felt my spirit soar and become one with everything that exists. I become the stars and the moon. I become the lover and the beloved. I become the victor and the vanquished. I become the master and the slave. I become the singer and the song. I become the knower and the known. I keep on dancing and then, it is the eternal dance of creation. The Creator and the creation merge into one wholeness of joy. I keep on dancing — until there is only ... the dance.

- I have no problem with them imitating [me]. It's a compliment. Everybody has to start out looking up to someone. For me it was James Brown, Sammy Davis Jr., Jackie Wilson, Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly.

- I have begun to see that even my father's harshness was a kind of love. An imperfect love, to be sure, but upendo 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 aliyopewa way to forgiveness.
"Heal the Kids" speech at the oxford Union (2001)
- I put a lot of mannequins in my room in the past, and I still have mannequins in my room, because I used to be very lonely, painfully lonely. wewe have no idea. I used to walk the streets looking for people to talk to. I'm talking about the height of one's career…. I would walk up to them, strangers, and say, "will wewe be my friend?" They'd go, "my god, Michael Jackson!" and that's not what I wanted.

They called me a homosexual. They called me a child molester. They alisema I bleached my skin. They made everything to turn the public against me.

Here in America we create new opportunities out of adversity, not punitive laws, and we should look to new technologies like Apple's new muziki Store for solutions. This way, innovation continues to be the hallmark of America. It is the mashabiki that drive the success of the muziki business.

Michael Jackson mashabiki making extravagant plans for the anniversary of his death need a Plan B -- because Forest Lawn Cemetery and cops are putting the kibosh on most of the celebration.
A rep for Forest Lawn -- where MJ is buried -- tells TMZ mashabiki will be allowed into the park on June 25, but not into the mausoleum itself. And the news ain't so good for these special requests:
- Releasing doves (DENIED)
- Releasing balloons (DENIED)
- Performing Jackson songs and dance routines (DENIED)
Sgt. Tom Lorenz says the Glendale PD has its own no-no list: no camping out the night before, no parking around Forest Lawn 24 hours prior, and no mitaani, mtaa vendor sales of anything ... including MJ merchandise.
The Forest Lawn rep says mashabiki who behave will be allowed to pay their respects.

MZ has learned Dr. Conrad Murray will go about his normal business -- seeing patients -- on the anniversary of Michael Jackson's death.
We're told Murray will not visit MJ's mausoleum Friday, because it will cause a scene. He will, we're told, pay his respects around that time, when no one is there.
Miranda Sevcik, the PR rep for Murray's lawyer, Ed Chernoff, tells TMZ, "Dr. Murray will be mourning privately. He doesn't want to distract people kwa reminding them of Michael's death. He'd rather people remember his friend, Michael Jackson, as he was in life

TMZ has learned Katherine Jackson and Michael Jackson's three kids will not be in L.A. to commemorate the one-year anniversary of MJ's death.
Sources connected with the family tell TMZ the gang will be at Michael's birthplace -- Gary, Indiana -- where they will observe the day.
We're told Katherine is set on Gary because she feels it is a "family point of connection" -- and it's just too crazy in L.A.
Our sources say Katherine, Prince, Paris, and Blanket will keep things private with relatives and Marafiki in Gary.

You'll probably never get this letter
Michael, I wrote wewe a hundred times before
Knowing how I feel, I'll write a hundred more"
"Dear Michael, everytime your records on
Michael, I close my eyes and sing along
Dreaming you're imba to me"
And then she wrote
"Michael, I upendo you
I've held tears back long as I can
I'm sealing my feelings in this envelope
Cause I wanna be zaidi than just your number one fan
I'm gonna answer your letter
I'll start beginning with the ABCs of loving you
Your letter really touched my heart
I've been dreaming of meeting the picture
That wewe sent along, signed with all your love
(Michael, Michael)
(I want you)
(She wrote)
I'm gonna write wewe back
Ooh, I promise wewe that
Girl, I think I upendo you
Hurry, hurry Mr Postman
Take my letter
Tell her her I upendo her
Hurry, hurry Mr Postman
Take my letter
Tell her I upendo her

Randy has been on Twitter attack, calling the auction at Planet Hollywood in Vegas "distasteful."
Darren Julien from Julien's Auctions claims it's pure coincidence the auction falls on June 25 -- "We have the same summer auction [of pop nyota memorabilia] at the same time every year."
Julien says the auction tarehe can't be moved. So there.
Certainly the will stipulates that the money, the children will get when they reach 30 years of age. kwa then, of course, the interest amount will exceed 300 million dollars!! Not bad ...
The mother of Michael Jackson gets 40% of its assets, while the remainder will go to charitable institutions.
Naturally, Jacko did not leave anything to his father, which had no good relationships, but none of the siblings.
Dr. Conrad Murray took a $16,000 hit today -- when officials rejected his request to relieve the massive child support debt he owes his baby mama.
Murray -- who practices medicine in Nevada -- had worked out a deal with Nevada State Board of Medical Examiners, in which they'd back off from revoking his license ... if he could convince a California court to forgive the $16,000 in back child support he owes in Cali.
But today, a judge in California turned down the request -- which means Murray's license is still very much in danger.
And check this out -- a hearing was scheduled to be in Nevada for June 25th ... exactly one mwaka after Murray allegedly pumped Michael Jackson full of a deadly dose of Propofol.

Murray -- who's due in court inayofuata mwezi in the Michael Jackson manslaughter case -- was corralled kwa a shabiki Wednesday at a Houston Starbucks.
She gave us the pic but asked us to blur her face.
It's all about taking precautions.
