While you guys are talking and laughing, you’re not hearing his words. — Michael Jackson

"I try to do whats right for me, But no-one sees the way I see, And then I try to please them so, But how far can this pleasing go?"

"I just love Michael Jackson. He is loved by people of all ages all over the world and is an eternal presence."

"No one will be able to replace him. But I know that the light that he emanated from the stage will live on with all of us who saw him for what he was and always will be — a great teacher, pure musical inspiration. His death can only be compared to John Lennons and Elvis."

"It aint too much stuff, Jam, it aint too much, It aint too much for me to jam!"

"Remember his unparalleled contribution to the world of music, his generosity of spirit in his quest to heal the world, and the joy he brought to his millions of devoted fans throughout the world. No artist will ever take his place. His star will shine forever."

"Michael Jackson is literally walking in the shoes that no Black person has ever walked in before. If he ever writes an autobiography, it will be one of the most interesting ever. A Black man with no real formal education becomes the most powerful man in the industry, despite hatred, racism, enemies in his own camps and a media willing to be bought to the highest bidder."
