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

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.

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.

You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand.

Achievement is not always success, while reputed failure often is. It is honest endeavor, persistent effort to do the best possible under any and all circumstances.

Dissatisfaction with possession and achievement is one of the requisites to further achievement.

There is no personal achievement in being born beautiful.

The mind must see visual achievement of the purpose before action is initiated.

Creativity is a great motivator because it makes people interested in what they are doing. Creativity gives hope that there can be a worthwhile idea. Creativity gives the possibility of some sort of achievement to everyone. Creativity makes life more fun and more interesting.

Peace is not the product of a victory or a command. It has no finishing line, no final deadline, no fixed definition of achievement. Peace is a never-ending process, the work of many decisions.
