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. - Michael Jackson
I knew it was wrong. If we hadn't stopped the process and examined what we were doing, the record would have been terrible. [...] It's like taking a great movie and ruining it in the ending. [...] Some things can't be rushed. - Michael Jackson
I know who I am inside and outside, and what I want to do. And I will always go with my dreams. - Michael Jackson
I trembled to think of a world without stars. 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? - Michael Jackson
I was twenty-one years old, and I was so rich in some experiences while being poor in moments of true joy. - Michael Jackson
If all of the people in Hollywood had plastic surgery and went on vacation, there wouldn't be a person left in town. - 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
If you want to make the world a better place, take a look at yourself, and make a change. - Michael Jackson
I'm going to search for my star until I find it. It's hidden in the drawer of innocence, wrapped in a scarf of wonder. - Michael Jackson
I'm really very self-confident when it comes to my work. When I take on a project, I believe in it 100%. I really put my soul into it. I'd die for it. That's how I am. - Michael Jackson
I'm starting with the man in the mirror, I'm asking him to change his ways; And no message could have been any clearer, If you wanna make the world a better place. - Michael Jackson
In a world filled with hate, we must still dare to hope. In a world filled with anger, we must still dare to comfort. In a world filled with despair, we must still dare to dream. And in a world filled with distrust, we must still dare to believe. - Michael Jackson
In general record companies never believe a new album will do considerably better than the last one you did. They figure you either got lucky last time or the number you last sold is the size of your audience. - Michael Jackson
In the end, the most important thing is to be true to yourself and those you love and work hard. I mean, work like there's no tomorrow. Train. Strive. I mean, really train and cultivate your talent to the highest degree. Be the best at what you do. Get to know more about your field than anybody alive. Use the tools of your trade, if it's books or a floor to dance on or a body of water to swim in. Whatever it is, it's yours. - Michael Jackson
In their innocence, very young children know themselves to be light and love. If we will allow them, they can teach us to see ourselves the same way. - Michael Jackson
It always surprises me when people assume that something an artist has created is based on a true experience or reflects his or her own lifestyle. Often nothing could be farther from the truth. [...] An artist's imagination is his greatest tool. It can create a mood or feeling that people want to have, as well as transport you to a different place altogether. - Michael Jackson
It 's strange that God doesn't mind expressing Himself/Herself in all the religions of the world, while people still cling to the notion that their way is the only right way. Whatever you try to say about God, someone will take offense, even if you say everyone's love of God is right for them. For me the form God takes is not the most important thing. What's most important is the essence. My songs and dances are outlines for Him to come in and fill. I hold out the form. She puts in the sweetness. - Michael Jackson
It's easy to mistake being innocent for being simpleminded or naive. We all want to seem sophisticated; we all want to seem street-smart. To be innocent is to be "out of it. - Michael Jackson
