I never saw anything that would qualify as a criminal activity.

We wanted to make sure that the film covered the main issues of his life. Musicianship, appearance.

If somebody's not prepared to answer the question, you can keep asking.

Michael Jackson has some contact with his mother. I know she is involved with the children.

The film was fair to his musical achievement and gave him every opportunity to explain himself.

The first time I ask him, have you had your cheekbones raised, have you had your nose changed? He denied it all. I was asking him to compare his face with what it looked like years ago.

I don't think his life has been in any way disfigured by the film. The film did disclose some difficult facts.

He was very concerned about his children potentially being kidnapped or attached, and that's why they were covered up. When he went to Berlin zoo, there were 200 photographers.

It was not possible to broadcast any of that because of an agreement between Jackson and the family. Our legal advice was that we could not broadcast it.

Each story we approach in the same way, with curiosity and interest and determination to get behind the image.

It's terrible. How can we tell the world who the real Michael Jackson is?

You say he's childish, but he's very professional about business transactions.

It was a challenging experience. I'm looking forward to a break.

The children don't wear their masks at home and in controlled surroundings.

Press coverage has been difficult for him. I did not set out to ensnare him with a child.

I never saw anything that would qualify as a criminal activity.

I have an inate curiosity about people.

The Thriller album is still the biggest album of all time. That is still returning huge royalty cheques.

This was almost two hours of factual documentary. In our audience ratings, barely no one left the programme. The whole of his life is so fascinating and people kept watching for that reason.

For watching sports, I tend to drink Guinness; early evenings always begin well with a Grey Goose and tonic with plenty of lime; and on a cold winter's night, there's nothing quite like a glass of Black Maple Hill... an absolute peach of a bourbon.

I had a pension that I was paying into for 27 years... It's now worth less than a Herman Cain endorsement.

I'm just trying to do my best in the circumstances and am very happy for everyone else to do the same so I don't cultivate enemies.

If you listen carefully to Rick Santorum, he sounds more like Stalin than Pope Innocent III.

The chili-rubbed rib-eye at Porter House New York is one of the best steaks that I've eaten anywhere in the world.

Stand up for what you know is right.

Exercise is good for your mind, body, and soul.

When it comes to money nobody should give up anything.

Human life moves only in one direction - toward disease, damage, and death. The best you can hope for is to remain stagnant or, in certain cases, return to a previous condition when things weren't as bad as they've become for you.

At Natura, we have long been committed to measure and improve the impacts of our activities.

For me, the more talented the actor is that I'm working with, the easier my job is because the circumstances of a scene are easier to believe when the people around you are in the moment just as much as you are.

You cannot reduce the complexity of a given task beyond a certain point. Once youve reached that point you can only shift the burden around.

The dead of midnight is the noon of thought.

Black jurors sit on juries every day and convict black people every day.

I'm rather old-fashioned about this video business. It's all relatively new. We really don't do videos, Fleetwood Mac. We've only done two.

What I've come to know is that in life, it's not always the questions we ask, but rather our ability to hear the answers that truly enriches our understanding. Never, never stop learning.

Straight-away the ideas flow in upon me, directly from God, and not only do I see distinct themes in my mind's eye, but they are clothed in the right forms, harmonies, and orchestration.

I rarely eat breakfast because of our schedule, actually. If I do, though, I'll try to do an egg-white omelet with some bell peppers and mushrooms. Maybe a side of a bunch of different fruits.

Acoustic phonetics, which is developing and increasing in richness very rapidly, already enables us to solve many of the mysteries of sound, mysteries which motor phonetics could not even begin to solve.

Many fans were surprised when they learned that the little girl in drama 'Stairway To Heaven' was me.

Disneyland is the star everything else is in the supporting role.

I've always had a close connection to both rock and classical music.

I've always had better luck learning things on my own. And I really love the challenge of doing it yourself and kind of being alone against the system.

The old jazz singers or old blues singers, you always just saw them kind of sitting down and singing. They weren't worried as much about their voice sounding perfect. They would make the song kind of fit their voice.

I'm curious how people build up the codes that they live their life by, and how they come to think that that's the best way for them to function.

When you have little children, you want to tell them about joy and happiness and hope. And then comes the time you want to tell them there are tough moments. I admire people who can do that.

I said, I don't want to paint things like Picasso's women and Matisse's odalisques lying on couches with pillows. I don't want to paint people. I want to paint something I have never seen before. I don't want to make what I'm looking at. I want the fragments.

I've always deplored bad heterosexual values that dictate the minute a marriage is over the former partners no longer speak to each other; only straights could be so cruel and inhuman as to reject totally the person with whom they've shared their life for 20 or 30 years.

To me, that aspect of life that most touches the everyday and celebrations is food.
