Michael Jackson (King of Pop/Jackson 5)

And I remember going to the record studio and there was a park across the street and I'd see all the children playing and I would cry because it would make me sad that I would have to work instead.
Michael Jackson

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.
Michael Jackson

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.
Michael Jackson

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.
Michael Jackson

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

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

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.
Michael Jackson

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

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.
Michael Jackson

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.
Michael Jackson

I have a skin disorder that destroys the pigmentation of my skin, it's something that I cannot help, OK?
Michael Jackson

I just wish I could understand my father.
Michael Jackson

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.
Michael Jackson

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.
Michael Jackson

I was a veteran, before I was a teenager.
Michael Jackson

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.
Michael Jackson

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.
Michael Jackson

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

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

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

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

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.
Michael Jackson

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.
Michael Jackson

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

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.
Michael Jackson

Me and Janet really are two different people.
Michael Jackson

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

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

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

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

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

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.
Michael Jackson

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

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.
Michael Jackson

Well Brooke, I've always liked her, and when I was little I used to stay with Diana Ross, me and my brothers stayed with her for years and I never said, but I always had a crush on her.
Michael Jackson

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.
Michael Jackson

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.
Michael Jackson

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

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.
Michael Jackson

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.
Michael Jackson

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.
Michael Jackson

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.
Michael Jackson

Shelley Long

Did you know that, if you visualize, you can actually hug on the phone?
Shelley Long

I don't believe in predestination, even though I was raised a Presbyterian.
Shelley Long

I like men to be men and I like them to care about me and to take care of me. I'm willing to let them do that.
Shelley Long

I think, head up and shoulders back. Not only does it make you look taller and thinner but it gives you confidence and boosts your self-esteem.
Shelley Long

I'm a real 'go, go' person... I'd make myself crazy by pushing too hard. It's important to pull pack the reins a little bit and get in touch with what's inside.
Shelley Long

I'm not perfect, but I'd like to be perfect. I'm working on it.
Shelley Long

I've helped people get rid of headaches by placing my hand on their forehead, and backaches by placing my hand on their back. It's a powerful example of love that really works.
Shelley Long

If it's not some daring, dangerous affair, it's just not interesting, or so it seems. So, here you have two people - a famous American iconic couple - who actually like each other sexually, in marriage. Imagine.
Shelley Long

If you don't quit, and don't cheat, and don't run home when trouble arrives, you can only win.
Shelley Long

Not everyone can be trusted. I think we all have to be very selective about the people we trust.
Shelley Long

Chris Burke

Don't give up on the child. Give the child an education. Give them daily love.
Chris Burke

Having Down syndrome is like being born normal. I am just like you and you are just like me. We are all born in different ways, that is the way I can describe it. I have a normal life.
Chris Burke

I want to do theater and I am looking forward to doing more Television and Movies. I also want to direct some plays in theater workshops for people with disabilities.
Chris Burke

I was like Gene Kelly, it was called singing in the rain. No seriously, I wasn't really born with a singing voice, but my friends Joe and John taught me how to sing.
Chris Burke

To have my fan club. I am very proud of doing everything. I try to support my parents, friends and fans. I am also proud of my performing in the visual arts, and motion television.
Chris Burke

Dave Pelzer

Ask yourself: was there anything I could have done to prevent the situation? If the answer is yes, do something now and become a better person for it.
Dave Pelzer

If people have a basic understanding of right from wrong, possess a strong desire to better themselves and persist in there cause, they can break the chain of any negative environment.
Dave Pelzer

The thing is, at the end of the day you still have to face yourself.
Dave Pelzer

To help yourself, you must be yourself. Be the best that you can be. When you make a mistake, learn from it, pick yourself up and move on.
Dave Pelzer

Whatever you do for the sole purpose of having others admire you, your efforts will most likely be in vain.
Dave Pelzer

When you please others in hopes of being accepted, you lose you self-worth in the process.
Dave Pelzer

Rick Springfield

Being a songwriter does not rely on an audience or other band members or a camera. I can just sit in a room and write songs.
Rick Springfield

Every actor wants to break out of the box that they put you in and that's where I'm heading, out of the box as fast as I can.
Rick Springfield

I am a bit more of a whore with my acting than I am with my music. I am not a whore with my music.
Rick Springfield

I am a closet toy freak. I started chasing after some things as far as Star Wars toys - some very rare stuff.
Rick Springfield

I don't think anyone ever feels acknowledged enough.
Rick Springfield

I don't want to mix the identities. Noah Drake isn't Rick Springfield.
Rick Springfield

I learned to read and write and socialize in school, and that's pretty much it.
Rick Springfield

I took that time off - I knew it was messing me up, not being connected to a spiritual plane.
Rick Springfield

I was one of those dark, quiet kids that wrote poetry.
Rick Springfield

I was very fortunate to be at the vanguard of music video.
Rick Springfield

I would have been an Egyptologist if I had had the schooling.
Rick Springfield

I'll watch any show on the History Channel.
Rick Springfield

I've always liked the heavier stuff. I've always loved Tool and System of a Down, Korn and Nine Inch Nails.
Rick Springfield

I've been writing songs since I was 14 years old, and that's my true love.
Rick Springfield

I've heard from writers and musicians and fans that they think I'm underrated.
Rick Springfield

If the timing's right and the gods are with you, something special happens.
Rick Springfield

Karma is not just about the troubles, but also about surmounting them.
Rick Springfield

Music is a 24-hour-a-day thing for me.
Rick Springfield

My first crush was Hayley Mills when I was a little kid in England. I used to kiss her picture goodnight.
Rick Springfield

Once I discovered music, I knew what I wanted to do.
Rick Springfield

Puberty hit me very hard, and I basically had no use for school once I discovered the guitar.
Rick Springfield

Residuals from Australia, from the Mission Magic show, saved my butt. So there is a reason for everything.
Rick Springfield

There weren't a lot of girl singers around. Paul McCartney and John Lennon were the guys I looked up to.
Rick Springfield

They were marketing me as a teen idol, when the stuff on the record was not what teen idols were doing at the time.
Rick Springfield

When someone pursues music through your music, that's the greatest accolade anybody can get.
Rick Springfield

Susan Olsen (Cindy Brady)

And we do talk a lot about my past and my impression of things and how it relates to what we're doing now. The Brady Bunch, in its heyday, was really the genesis of when TV started to become the force that it is today.
Mike Lookinland

Being a Brady comes with it's pleasures and its baggage. I'm not one given to a lack of privacy and invasion.
Christopher Knight

I still get so much fan mail addressed to Carol Brady, and I think a lot of it's through the Net. And I always answer it, if it's legible.
Florence Henderson

I was always an Olsen. I never thought of myself as a Brady. I never actually wanted to be a Brady. I always preferred my own family to the Bradys.
Susan Olsen

My introduction to the Brady book was an attempt to nail the exact same idea since Brady addressed the point. And since I write pornography, naturally, something of an obsession for me.
Peter Sotos

The book grew out of the introduction I did for Brady's Gates of Janus. I knew that the writing in that introduction had a better than average chance of being read by people involved in Brady's life - parents of victims, police, Brady himself.
Peter Sotos

The Brady Bunch is a live action modern fairytale of family. In this context it's less odd that it's lasted for over thirty years; and why it may last in some respects as long as Mother Goose!
Christopher Knight

Linda Ronstadt

Cocaine made people deaf, it made people dead and it made people real obnoxious.
Linda Ronstadt

I don't think you can look for love. All you can do is get yourself in a situation where you don't discourage something that may be rather nice.
Linda Ronstadt

I wish I had as much in bed as I get in the newspapers.
Linda Ronstadt

It's a real conflict for me when I go to a concert and find out somebody in the audience is a Republican or fundamental Christian. It can cloud my enjoyment. I'd rather not know.
Linda Ronstadt

The constant fear of a performer is to become what is reflected back at you.
Linda Ronstadt

The thing you have to be prepared for is that other people don't always dream your dream.
Linda Ronstadt
