I Don't Understand Racism. We Are All The Same And I Have The Perfect Hypothesis To Prove It. I Play To All Those Countries And They Cry In All The Same Places In My Show. They Laugh In The Same Places. They Become Hysterical In The Same Places. They Faint In The Same Places And That's The Perfect Hypothesis. There Is A Commonality That We Are All The Same.

We Can Program Ourselves To Be The Person We Want To Be, Whatever The Subject Matter Is, Live In It By A Mental Physical Program - A System Of Learning And Doing. Studying All The Greats In That Field And Becoming Greater. I Believe We Are Powerful, But We Don't Use Our Minds To Full Capacity. Your Mind Is Powerful Enough To Help You Attain Whatever You Want.

I Fast Every Sunday. I Don’t Eat Anything. Just Juices. […] It Flushes Out The System, Cleans Out The Colon. I Think That’s Great. To Really Make It Work, You Have To Do It Properly. That’s The Sewer Valve Of The System. You Have To Keep That Clean Like You Clean The Outside Of Your Body. All These Impurities Come Out Of Your System Because You’re Not Clean Inside.

I Believe That In Its Primordial Form All Of Creation Is Sound And That It's Not Just Random Sound, That It's Music. You've Heard The Expression, Music Of The Spheres? Well, That's A Very Literal Phrase. In The Gospels, We Read, "and The Lord God Made Man From The Dust Of The Earth And Breathed Into His Nostrils The Breath Of Life And Man Became A Living Soul." That 'breath Of Life' To Me Is The Music Of Life And It Permeates Every Fiber Of Creation.

With Two Children Of My Own, I Know What It Means To Balance The Demands Of Family And Career - And Let's Not Even Talk About Finding A Date For Myself. Rabbi Shmuley Keeps Telling Me He'll Find Me The Perfect Woman. My Response Is, 'as Long As She's Not A Journalist'.

I Love To Draw-pencil, Ink Pen-i Love Art. When I Go On Tour And Visit Museums In Holland, Germany Or England-you Know Those Huge Paintings?-i'm Just Amazed. You Don't Think A Painter Could Do Something Like That. I Can Look At A Piece Of Sculpture Or A Painting And Totally Lose Myself In It.

I Always Wanted To Do Music That Influences And Inspires Each Generation.

There’s A Whole Psychological Reason For Those Cartoons About Good Against Evil. We Have "superman" And All Those Other Hero People, So That We Can Go Out Into Life And Try To Be Something.

Some Of The Greatest Political Figures Have Come To The United States To Meet Them.

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.

I Love Elizabeth Taylor. I'm Inspired By Her Bravery. She Has Been Through So Much And She Is A Survivor. That Lady Has Been Through A Lot And She's Walked Out Of It On Two Feet.

James Brown, Ray Charles, Jackie Wilson, Chuck Berry And Little Richard - I Think They Had Strong Influences On A Lot Of People, Because These Were The Guys Who Really Got Rock'n'roll Going. I Like To Start With The Origin Of Things, Because Once It Gets Along It Changes. It's So Interesting To See How It Really Was In The Beginning.

Caring. And Reading The Bible, Learning About God, Jesus, Love. He Said, 'bring On The Children', 'imitate The Children', 'be Like The Children' And 'take Care Of Others.' Take Care Of Old People. And We Were Raised With Those Values. Those Are Very Important Values And My Family And I We Were Raised With Those Values And They Continue Strong In Us Today.

It All Begins With Forgiveness, Because To Heal The World, We First Have To Heal Ourselves. And To Heal The Kids, We First Have To Heal The Child Within, Each And Every One Of Us.

I Believe In The Bible And I Try To Follow The Bible. I Know I'm An Imperfect Person … I'm Not Making Myself An Angel Because I'm Not An Angel And I'm Not A Devil Either. I Try To Be The Best I Can And I Try To Do What I Think Is Right.

Oh, No, I Think I'd Die On My Own. I'd Be So Lonely. Even At Home, I'm Lonely. I Sit In My Room And Sometimes Cry. It Is So Hard To Make Friends, And There Are Some Things You Can't Talk To Your Parents Or Family About. I Sometimes Walk Around The Neighborhood At Night, Just Hoping To Find Someone To Talk To. But I Just End Up Coming Home.

But They Told Me A Man Should Be Faithful, And Walk When Not Able, And Fight Till The End But I'm Only Human.

Love Is The Human Family’s Most Precious Legacy. Its Richest Bequest. Its Golden Inheritance.

Just Watching A Girl Can Give Me The Best Reason To Smile. Girls Are Something Very Special And You Got To Treat Them That Way. That's Why I Always Say Don't Stare Right At A Chick. She'll Begin To Fidget, Wondering If Her Hair's Messed Up Or If Her Make-up Is Smeared. It's Kind Of Like Going To An Art Gallery To See Beautiful Paintings. If You Look At A Painting Just The Right Way, You Get The Most Out Of It!

We Are Behaving Like People Without Compassion And Love For The Most Vulnerable Section Of Society. The Children Of The Universe Are Without A Spokesperson, They Are Voiceless...we Are All Touched By The Atrocities Committed Against Children: Sexual, Physical Abuse, Child Slave Labor, Educational Neglect. We Feel Ashamed. Angry. Appalled. But There Is No Action...no Action.

We Listen, We Watch, We Learn. We Open Our Hearts And We Open Our Minds, Open Our Souls.

I Just Don't Like Being On A Lot Of Different Things Or Being Everywhere Because I Get Kind Of Embarrassed.

No Guide For The Sailor To Trust At See, No Jewels To Dazzle Our Sense Of Beauty [...] But All Around The Globe, The Air Is So Dirty And The Lights From The Cities Are So Bright That For Some People Few Stars Can Be Seen Anymore. A Generation Of Children May Grow Up Seeing A Blank Sky And Asking, "did There Used To Be Stars There?

My House Is About Equidistant From The Young's Brewery And The Fuller's Brewery. This Is No Accident.

And The Dream We Were Conceived In Will Reveal A Joyful Face... And The World We Once Believed In Will Shine Again In Grace. Then Why Do We Keep Strangling Life Wound This Earth, Crucify Its Soul. Though It's Plain To See, This World Is Heavenly. We Could Be God's Glow... Heal The World.

I Think About Our Planet. I Mean How To Make It A Better Planet. The Global Warming Issue Is A Concern To Me Very Much. Just Make The World A Better, Happier Place. It's Our Home. I'd Like To See Us Do A Better Job Of Taking Care Of It.

I Don't Care If The Whole World Is Against You Or Teasing You Or Saying You Are Not Gonna Make It. Believe In Yourself, No Matter What.

I Have Always Felt Compassion For The Planet. Sometime I Just Start To Get Emotional. I Cry Because I Can Almost Feel The Pain In The Air. I Put It In Words And In Song And In Dance I Think That Is What Artistry Is.

I Promise To Love And Cherish Each Of My Sweet-faced Fans Forever

Children Show Me In Their Playful Smiles The Divine In Everyone.

One Day My Dad Said, "if You Guys Ever Stop Singing, I'll Drop You Like A Hot Potato." That's What He Said. It Hurt Me. You Don't Say That To Children And I Never Forgot It.

Happy To Be Alive

People Always Say The Abused Abuse And It Is Not True. I Am Totally The Opposite.

What One Wishes Is To Be Touched By Truth And To Be Able To Interpret That Truth So That One May Use What One Is Feeling And Experiencing, Be It Despair Or Joy, In A Way That Will Add Meaning To One's Life And Will Hopefully Touch Others As Well.

How Would I Like To Be Remembered? As A Person Who Came And Brought Light To The World, Some Escapism. Also As The Voice For The Voiceless Children, Because I Love Them.

What I Enjoy Most About Performing Is Making People Happy. Just To Make A Person Smile Means More To Me Than Anything.

I Become The Stars And The Moon. I Become The Lover And The Beloved. I Become The Victor And The Vanquished. I Become The Master And The Slave. I Become The Singer And The Song. I Become The Knower And The Known. I Keep On Dancing Then, It Is The Eternal Dance Or Creation. The Creator And Creation Merge Into One Wholeness Of Joy. I Keep On Dancing And Dancing...and Dancing.

When You Want To Be Close To Me, Listen To The Music. The Love Is Stored There And Will Not Die.

What Have We Done To The World?....... Look What We've Done.

The More Passive One's Life In The Field, The Greater The Need To Reverse The Situation When One Returns Home, Which Is Why The Arcane And Authoritative Character Of Academic Writing May Be Seen, To Some Extent, As A Vengeful Reaction To The Inertia, Uneventfulness, And Waiting One Had To Endure As A Guest At Someone Else's Banquet. A Way Of Redressing An Existental Imbalance, As It Were Reclaiming Authorial Will By Superimposing One's Own Meaning On Theirs...

I'm Just Like Anyone. I Cut And I Bleed. And I Embarass Easily.

There Are Two Kinds Of Music. One Comes From The Strings Of A Guitar, The Other From The Strings Of The Heart. One Sound Comes From A Chamber Orchestra, The Other From The Beating Of The Heart's Chamber. One Comes From An Instrument Of Graphite And Wood, The Other From An Organ Of Flesh And Blood. This Loftier Music I Speak Of Tonight Is More Pleasing Than The Notes Of The Most Gifted Composers, More Moving Than A Marching Band, More Harmonious Than A Thousand Voices Joined In Hymn And More Powerful Than All The World's Percussion Instruments Combined. That Sweet Sound Of Love.

I Love Fairytales. I Like Fantasy A Lot, Science Fiction, I Like Magic. I Like To Create Magic. I Love Magic.

Children Are Loving, They Don't Gossip, They Don't Complain, They're Just Openhearted. They're Ready For You. They Don't Judge. They Don't See Things By Way Of Color. They're Very Child-like. That's The Problem With Adults: They Lose That Child-like Quality.

Meaning Of Life

You Can Always Dream, And Your Dreams Can Come True. But You Have To Make Them Come True

Dreams Can Come True

The Magic, The Wonder, The Mystery And The Innocence Of A Childs Heart Are The Seeds Of Creativity That Will Heal The World. I Really Believe That. What We Need To Learn From Children Isnt Childish. Being With Them Connects Us To The Deeper Wisdom Of Life, Which Is Everpresent And Only Asks To Be Lived. They Know The Way To Solutions That Lie Waiting To Be Recognized Within Our Own Hearts.

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.

Going To My Shows, It's Like A Religious Experience, Because You Come Out, You Go In One Person, You Come Out A Different Person.

I Love Putting On An Outfit Or A Costume And Just Looking At Myself In The Mirror. Baggy Pants Or Some Real Funky Shoes And A Hat And Just Feeling The Character Of It. That's Fun To Me.

You Know, Don't Judge A Person, Do Not Pass Judgement, Unless You Have Talked To Them One On One.

Passing Judgment

On Many Occasions When I Am Dancing I've Felt Touched By Something Sacred. In Those Moments, I Felt My Spirit Soar And Become One With Everything That Exists !

I Think The Actor Or Performer Should Be - To Touch That Truth Inside Of A Person. Touch That Reality So Much That They Become A Part Of What You're Going And You Can Take Them Anywhere You Want To.

I Wouldn't Say I Was Sexy! But I Guess That's Fine If That's What They Say. I Like That In Concert. That's Neat.

I Am Bewildered At The Length To Which People Will Go To Portray Me So Negatively.

I Used To Say I And Me Now It's Us, Now It's We

Needless To Say, I Love The Interaction Between The Sexes; It Is A Natural Part Of Life And I Love Women. I Just Think That When Sex Is Used As A Form Of Blackmail Or Power, It's A Repugnant Use Of One Of God's Gifts.

I Say, ‘you Should Blanket Me’ Or ‘you Should Blanket Her’, Meaning Like A Blanket Is A Blessing. It’s A Way Of Showing Love And Caring.

Honor Your Parents By Not Judging Them. Give Them The Benefit Of Doubt.

I've Seen Lawyers Who Don't Represent Me And Spokespeople Who Do Not Know Me Speaking For Me. These Characters Always Seem To Surface With Dreadful Allegations Just As Another Project, An Album, A Video Is Being Released.

In Times Like These, We Need Each Other. We Must Bond Together In Spirit And In Service.

Times Like These

I Can Tell You There Are Rewards That Go Far Beyond Money And Public Acclaim And Awards.

Wherever You Go, In Every Country, On Every Continent, People Yearn And Hunger For One Thing: To Love And Be Loved.

I Wrote A Book Called ‘dancing The Dream’. It Was More Autobiographical Than Moonwalk, Which I Did With Mrs. Onassis. It Wasn’t Full Of Gossip And Scandal And All That Trash That People Write, So I Don’t Think People Paid Much Attention To It, But It Came From My Heart. It Was Essays, Thoughts And Things That I’ve Thought About While On Tour
