Well, especially now I come to realize - and then - I would do my schooling which was three hours with a tutor and right after that I would go to the recording studio and record, and I'd record for hours and hours until it's time to go to sleep.

When I see children, I see the face of God. That's why I love them so much. That's what I see.

Well, especially now I come to realize - and then - I would do my schooling which was three hours with a tutor and right after that I would go to the recording studio and record, and I'd record for hours and hours until it's time to go to sleep.

They did it to try and belittle me, to try and to take away my pride. But I went through the whole system with them. And at the end, I - I wanted the public to know that I was okay, even though I was hurting.

Before I would hurt a child, I would slit my wrists.

Let us dream of tomorrow where we can truly love from the soul, and know love as the ultimate truth at the heart of all creation.

Yes, and I had pimples so badly it used to make me so shy. I used not to look at myself. I'd hide my face in the dark, I wouldn't want to look in the mirror and my father teased me and I just hated it and I cried everyday.

Everyone who knows me will know the truth, which is that my children come first in my life and that I would never harm any child.

My mother's wonderful. To me she's perfection.

Because I wanted to have a place that I could create everything that I that I never had as a child. So, you see rides. You see animals. There's a movie theater.

I just wish I could understand my father.

If you enter this world knowing you are loved and you leave this world knowing the same, then everything that happens in between can be dealt with.

The greatest education in the world is watching the masters at work.

People write negatives things, cause they feel that's what sells. Good news to them, doesn't sell.

But I will never stop helping and loving people the way Jesus said to.

Children show me in their playful smiles the divine in everyone. This simple goodness shines straight from their hearts and only asks to be lived.

I'm a black American, I am proud of my race. I am proud of who I am. I have a lot of pride and dignity.

I love my family very much. I wish I could see them a little more often than I do. But we understand because we're a show business family and we all work.

Because parents have power over children. They feel they have to do what their parents say. But the love of money is the root of all evil. And this is a sweet child. And to see him turn like this, this isn't him. This is not him.

Me and Janet really are two different people.

I'm just like anyone. I cut and I bleed. And I embarass easily.

I'm never pleased with anything, I'm a perfectionist, it's part of who I am.

Well, you don't get to do things that other children get to do, having friends and slumber parties and buddies. There were none of that for me. I didn't have friends when I was little. My brothers were my friends.

There were times when I had great times with my brothers, pillow fights and things, but I was, used to always cry from loneliness.

Because I think every child star suffers through this period because you're not the cute and charming child that you were. You start to grow, and they want to keep you little forever.

It's a complete lie, why do people buy these papers? It's not the truth I'm here to say. You know, don't judge a person, do not pass judgement, unless you have talked to them one on one. I don't care what the story is, do not judge them because it is a lie.

Elizabeth Taylor is gorgeous, beautiful, and she still is today, I'm crazy about her.

I'm happy to be alive, I'm happy to be who I am.

Please keep an open mind and let me have my day in court.

The meaning of life is contained in every single expression of life. It is present in the infinity of forms and phenomena that exist in all of creation.

The Bee Gees who are brilliant, I just love great music.

Yeah, Wacko Jacko, where did that come from? Some English tabloid. I have a heart and I have feelings. I feel that when you do that to me. It's not nice.

Just because it's in print doesn't mean it's the gospel.

I will say again that I have never, and would never, harm a child. It sickens me that people have written untrue things about me.

Everything that I love is behind those gates. We have elephants, and giraffes, and crocodiles, and every kind of tigers and lions. And - and we have bus loads of kids, who don't get to see those things. They come up sick children, and enjoy it.

You know, let's put it this way, if all the people in Hollywood who have had plastic surgery, if they went on vacation, there wouldn't be a person left in town.

I've helped many, many, many children, thousands of children, cancer kids, leukemia kids.

I rememeber one time we were getting ready to go to South America and everything was packed up and in the car ready to go and I hid and I was crying because I really did not want to go, I wanted to play. I did not want to go.

I was a veteran, before I was a teenager.

Why can't you share your bed? The most loving thing to do is to share your bed with someone. It's very charming. It's very sweet. It's what the whole world should do.

Children show me in their playful smiles the divine in everyone. This simple goodness shines straight from their hearts and only asks to be loved.

I don't understand why the press is so interested in speculating about my appearance, anyway. What does my face have to do with my music or my dancing?

Hope is such a beautiful word, but it often seems very fragile. Life is still being needlessly hurt and destroyed.

Sometimes when you're treated unfairly it makes you stronger and more determined. I admire that kind of strength. People who have it take a stand and put their blood and soul into what they believe.

Children show me in their playful smiles the divine in everyone.

Out of the bliss comes magic wonderment and creativity.
