Talent like Michael's is rare. I feel so privileged to have known him and so look forward to honouring his memory in what is going to be the biggest and only tribute to this great showman.

Sometimes the best things are right in front of you; it just takes some time to see them.

If all I do in my life is soothe someone's spirit with a song , then let me do that and I'm happy.

You could have told me yourself that you found someone else, instead I heard it through the grapevine.

Soul is just that inner spirit. I use that inner spirit for whatever it is I do.

I don't regret any decisions I've made in my life.

I always kind of thought I want to be a good person, I want to be right to my fellow men and love them like were supposed to.

Well, I never danced with the 'Pips' - they didn't let me dance!

When you pay your money to see me, I want you to have the best concert you can have from me.

I had some great mentors as I was coming up and starting to sing so early - I've been singing since I was four.

If you see a piece of paper on the floor, don't ignore it, pick it up, write down your dream, and carry it everywhere you go . . .

Our finger print represents our unique identity and individuality.

As you emphasize your life you must localize and define it... you cannot do everything.

It is plain to me that our prelates, in granting indulgences, do commonly blaspheme the wisdom of God.

You can always rely on a society of equals taking it out on the women.

The worst thing you can become in life is cynical. Cynical is like concrete. and nothing grows in concrete.

Young black men in America have an identity ascribed to them that is a direct legacy of slavery.

It's always good to go against your friends, especially when you come out victorious.

I must remember that a good friend is a new world.

Today we need whatever methods or help we can receive to allow the Christian message to take us to a deeper level of transformation.
