Michael Jackson quotes - page 2

I said, you wanna be startin' somethin', You got to be startin' somethin', I said, you wanna be startin' somethin', You got to be startin' somethin', It's too high to get over, It's too low to get under, You're stuck in the middle, And the pain is thunder. (Michael Jackson)
Im giving you On a count three Just show your stuff Or let it be Im telling you Just watch your mouth I know your game What you're about! Well, they say the sky's the limit, And to me that's really true, But, my friend you have seen nothing, Just wait 'til I get through.
Michael Jackson
And it doesn't seem to matter, and it doesn't seem right, 'Cause the will has brought no fortune, still I cry alone at night, Don't you judge of my composure, 'cause I'm bothered every day, And she didn't leave a letter, she just up and ran away.
Michael Jackson
I put a lot of mannequins in my room in the past, and I still have mannequins in my room, because I used to be very lonely, painfully lonely. You have no idea. I used to walk the streets looking for people to talk to. I'm talking about the height of one's career.... I would walk up to them, strangers, and say, "will you be my friend?" They'd go, "my god, Michael Jackson!"
Michael Jackson
Ever since I was a little boy, I would study composition. And it was Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky that influenced me the most. If you take an album like Nutcracker Suite, every song is killer, every one. So I said to myself, 'Why can't there be a pop album where every...' - People used to do an album where you'd get one good song, and the rest were like B-sides, they'd call them "album songs" - and I'd say to myself 'Why can't every one be like a hit song? Why can't every song be so great that people would want to buy it if you could release it as a single?. So I always tried to strive for that. That was the purpose for the next album.
Michael Jackson
Did you ever stop to notice All the children dead from war? Did you ever stop to notice This crying earth, these weeping shores?
Michael Jackson
You're a vegetable, you're a vegetable, Still they hate you, you're a vegetable, You're just a buffet, you're a vegetable, They eat off you, you're a vegetable.
Michael Jackson
Night creatures call. The dead start to walk in their masquerade. There's no escapin' the jaws of the alien this time (they're open wide). This is the end of your life.
Michael Jackson
So let love take us through the hours, I won't be complainin' 'Cause this is love power.
Michael Jackson
I try to do what's 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?
Michael Jackson
They print my message in the Saturday Sun, I had to tell them I ain't second to none, And I told about equality, And its true, either you're wrong or you're right. (Michael Jackson)
You are the sun, you make me shine, or more like the stars, that twinkle at night. You are the moon that glows in my heart. You're my daytime, my night-time, my world...you are my life.
Michael Jackson
You say that workin is what a man's supposed to do. But I say you ain't right if I can't give sweet love to you.
Michael Jackson
I know my race. I just look in the mirror. I know I'm black.
Michael Jackson
Cause there's a time when you're right And you know you must fight, Who's laughing, baby? Don't you know? And there's a choice that we make, And a choice you must take, Who's laughing, baby?
Michael Jackson
And the whole world has to answer right now, Just to tell you once again, 'Who's bad!
Michael Jackson
How could you leave, girl? 'Cause love for us was meant to be, Then you must be seein' Some other guy instead of me.
Michael Jackson
You wanna show them that you're really not scared, You're playing with your life, this ain't no truth or dare, They'll kick you then they'll beat you then they'll tell you it's fair, So beat it.
Michael Jackson
The record companies really do conspire against the artists. They steal. They cheat. They do whatever they can, especially the black artists.... Sony's Tommy Mottola is the president of the record division. He is mean. He is a racist, and he's very, very, very devilish.
Michael Jackson
Sometimes I cry cause I'm confused, Is this a fact of being used? There is no life for me at all, 'Cause I give myself at beck and call.
Michael Jackson
Like the old Indian proverb says, do not judge a man until you've walked 2 moons in his moccasins. Most people don't know me, that is why they write such things in which most is not true. I cry very very often because it hurts and I worry about the children, all my children all over the world, I live for them. If a man could say nothing against a character but what he could prove, history could not be written. Animals strike not from malice but because they want to live, it is the same with those who criticize, they desire our blood not our pain. But still I must achieve I must seek truth in all things. I must endure for the power I was sent forth, for the world for the children. But have mercy, for I've been bleeding a long time now. MJ. (Michael Jackson)
She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene, I said, 'Don't mind, but what do you mean I am the one, Who will dance, on the floor, in the round?
Michael Jackson
Let's dance, let's shout! Shake your body down to the ground.
Michael Jackson
I wake up from dreams and go, 'Wow, put this down on paper.' The whole thing is strange. You hear the words, everything is right there in front of your face. And you say to yourself, 'I'm sorry, I just didn't write this. It's there already.' That's why I hate to take credit for the songs I've written. I feel that somewhere, someplace, it's been done and I'm just a courier bringing it into the world. I really believe that. I love what I do. I'm happy at what I do. It's escapism.
Michael Jackson
You'll never make me stay So take your weight off of me. I know your every move So won't you just let me be. I've been here times before But I was too blind to see That you seduce every man. This time you won't seduce me.
Michael Jackson
