I have an inate curiosity about people.

The Thriller album is still the biggest album of all time. That is still returning huge royalty cheques.

Each story we approach in the same way, with curiosity and interest and determination to get behind the image.

We wanted to make sure that the film covered the main issues of his life. Musicianship, appearance.

This was almost two hours of factual documentary. In our audience ratings, barely no one left the programme. The whole of his life is so fascinating and people kept watching for that reason.

I never saw anything that would qualify as a criminal activity.

It was not possible to broadcast any of that because of an agreement between Jackson and the family [of the child]. Our legal advice was that we could not broadcast it.

The first time I ask him, have you had your cheekbones raised, have you had your nose changed? He denied it all. I was asking him to compare his face with what it looked like years ago.

Press coverage has been difficult for him. I did not set out to ensnare him with a child.

He was very concerned about his children potentially being kidnapped or attached, and that's why they were covered up. When he went to Berlin zoo, there were 200 photographers.

The film was fair to his musical achievement and gave him every opportunity to explain himself.

Fear is no crime. But acting from fear is. Know that you're going to lose everything one day, whether you fear to lose it or not.

What prevents you from fully expressing yourself?

The blind cannot see light, but can feel its warmth.The deaf cannot hear sound, but are aware of its power.

Making love is not necessary to make love.

I pray God it is the answer I want, but if not I will accept any answer at all and try to be grateful for what I had.

Yes, Mother. I can see you are flawed. You have not hidden it. That is your greatest gift to me.

I'm not allowed to make a joke. It is a bit unfair how I'm treated. I thought it was a joke. I got calls and messages. I would rather not to have to worry about things like that. It is disappointing.

'Summer Heights High' is one of my favourite shows of all time. I'm obsessed. I re-watch it all the time.

I think it's important to say something. If you're making music it's kinda' like, oh, cool, so is everyone else.

What works in a relationship of very public people is not making the relationship public - keeping it as personal as it can be. It's the only way it is real.
