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

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.

Criticism of government finds sanctuary in several portions of the 1st Amendment. It is part of the right of free speech. It embraces freedom of the press.

The best thanks we could offer those who went before and raised the Irish working class from their knees was to press forward with determination and enthusiasm towards the ultimate goal of their efforts, a Co-operative Commonwealth for Ireland.

The Commonwealth has had consistently bad press. It was originally seen as a kind of hangover empire. People have long predicted its demise.

Were you to read the British press today, you would learn that the British Empire never forgets its defeats.

The British press have written some nasty and spiteful things about the way I look which used to affect me quite badly when it was new to me but luckily, I've learned to ignore the comments. why do they even care about how I look?

The relationship between press and politician - protected by the Constitution and designed to be happily adversarial - becomes sour, raw and confrontational.

I truly have a love-hate thing with the press.

Well, it was actually - I brought the idea of doing a documentary to HBO back in 2000, when there were some press reports sort of were bandied about that there were going to TV movies based on some of the books that were out.

The most censored speech in America today is not flag-burning, pornography, or the press.

I'm not afraid of the press or the Militia.

I knew I wasn't a baseball writer. I was scared to death. I really was afraid to talk to players, and I didn't want to go into the press box because I thought I was faking it.

An able, disinterested, public-spirited press, with trained intelligence to know the right and courage to do it, can preserve that public virtue without which popular government is a sham and a mockery.

They cannot count on the press and they cannot count on Congressional committees to bring the problems of the scientific community to their own attention, or to police the scientific community.

The English press treated the world premiere of my first talking picture as a major event.

The job of the press is to encourage debate, not to supply the public with information.

I think when you take away all, like, the premieres and press stuff and all the special effects, then you just come down to the fact that it's all about acting, and I think that has been the best bit for me.

Some of those STINKIN' press people just had to make fun of my decision in joining the show. They also made fun of other choices in my life that I was proud of then and still am now!!!

When I go to the press conference before the game, in my mind the game has already started.

I know all's fair in love and war but when you go off and try to be by yourself and it ends up on the front page of the press it's frightening, knowing your life is under such scrutiny.

Hastiness and superficiality are the psychic diseases of the twentieth century, and more than anywhere else this disease is reflected in the press.

I do a couple of hundred press-ups a day but I haven't been to a gym in years.

Some people are still not into us. That makes sense. We haven't really done a lot of press. We haven't put ourselves out there in ways that a lot of people would know we are still around. Unless you tour or record, they don't know you are around.

Grant me thirty years of equal division of inheritances and a free press, and I will provide you with a republic.

Sure I know where the press room is - I just look for where they throw the dog meat.

Our most tragic error may have been our inability to establish a rapport and a confidence with the press and television with the communication media. I don't think the press has understood me.
