My lawyer is telling me I have to take some responsibility about the welfare of the children. Do I want the kids? Hell no. Does it look good for me to ask for them? Absolutely. I don't want to look like the woman who gave away her kids and just forgot about them.
Michael had a very low pain tolerance, and his fear of pain was incredible. And I think that doctors took advantage of him that way.
Michael respected doctors immensely: that they went to school, that they studied... to do no harm.
We have a non-traditional family, and if it makes people uncomfortable, it's a shame that they are not more open.
Michael and I will always be connected with the kids. I will always be there for him. I will always be there for the children. And people make remarks: 'I can't believe she left her children.' Left them? I left my children? I did not leave my children. My children are with their father, where they are supposed to be.
Michael did it all. I am telling you that he is the most brilliant father. Almost before the baby needed something, he knew what it was.
If you regret anything in your life, then you haven't learned any lessons.
I don't think I have segments in my life; it runs all together.
I don't think there's anything I'm not proud of. I'm happy with pretty much everything I've done.
It doesn't make it any easier that people form opinions and make judgment calls and think I'm something that I'm not or do things that I don't.
My biggest fears I can't talk about. And my biggest fear is that those fears happen, and I can't stop it.
There's two Michaels: there's, like, my Michael. And the Michael that everyone else sees. Michael the entertainer.
I'm not miserable; please don't misunderstand me. I have a lovely life.
The very rich, very poor, and the very famous get the worst medical care. The very rich can buy it, the very poor can't get any, and the very famous can dictate it.
Michael Jackson was my friend before he was anything else. I saw him, and I would say, 'Oh my God, I know him...' And I would think, 'I'm so flipping lucky.'
Michael is a great person and a great father, generous and caring.
I had a very 'colorful' language, and every time I went to say something, Michael would cut me off with words like 'shoot' and 'fudge.' He didn't like curses. He didn't think it was necessary when other words would do.
You know what Michael did? He got me the most fabulous place to live. If you read the tabloids, it's the enclave of the enclave, Beverly Hills, which I have no idea what an enclave is. If it's chic-chic, it's cool.
The personal Michael is indescribable. He's magnanimous. He truly is in every way. Had it not been for all the media stuff, I would have stayed married to him forever unless he finally got tired of me.
You earn the title 'parent.' I have done absolutely nothing to earn that title.
