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

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.

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.

In the past, people were born royal. Nowadays, royalty comes from what you do.

We treat our people like royalty. If you honor and serve the people who work for you, they will honor and serve you.

People are too apt to treat God as if he were a minor royalty.

Every time Paul and Gene use my makeup, they have to pay me a royalty check. I think they changed the makeup so they didn't have to pay me.

Pleasure resorts are like film stars and royalty... embarrassed by the figures they cut in the fantasies of people who have never met them.

Everyone likes flattery; and when you come to Royalty you should lay it on with a trowel.

Well, a lot of our concerts do okay, and I know we still get royalty checks which still isn't that important, but again, I have to just say that we're making our records.

Congress did a good thing back in 1995 in passing the Deep Water Royalty Relief Act. That act did a simple thing. It provided automatic royalty relief for new leases for 5 years in the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico.

An organized effort is making to deceive the people. There are two great enemies of thought and progress, the aristocracy of royalty and the aristocracy of gold.

When Religion and Royalty are swept away, the people will attack the great, and after the great, they will fall upon the rich.

Most larger companies now see that for the market to grow, Web infrastructure must be royalty-free.

Archaeologists are underpaid publicity agents for deceased royalty.

If you ever start feeling like you have the goofiest, craziest, most dysfunctional family in the world, all you have to do is go to a state fair. Because five minutes at the fair, you'll be going, 'you know, we're alright. We are dang near royalty.'

Years ago women of my size were considered royalty.

There's definitely a whole different vibe on the set when there's like basically royalty working with us. We could have whatever we wanted. I felt like Britney Spears.

We were descended from royalty.

I type even faster than I talk. I'm very proud of that. I type so fast. And I have to because the characters are living in real time and I've got to keep up with them. It's a miracle they even give me a royalty.

These are clothes my friends and I could wear. This ain't Prada. I don't want to be one of those celebrities that slaps their name on a label and collects royalty checks. Everything on that runway reflects me.

But I don't have a very good track record with royalty. My dress fell off in front of Prince Charles at the Prince's Trust, so I'm just living up to my reputation.

Singing for royalty is a dream of mine - I'd absolutely love to sing for the Queen at the Royal Variety Show. All the contestants are very good. I will just have to do my best and see what happens.

I didn't send back any of the royalty checks.

No band is special, no player royalty.

Royalty is either going to do very well with cloning, or it's going to disappear completely.

A band isn't a band unless they're playing together. Otherwise, it's just five guys that are living off their royalty checks.
