| I have spent my entire life helping millions of children across the world. I would never harm a child. It is unfortunate that some individuals have seen fit to come forward and make a complaint that is completely false. Years ago, I settled with certain individuals because I was concerned about my family and the media scrutiny that would have ensued if I fought the matter in court. These people wanted to exploit my concern for children by threatening to destroy what I believe in and what I do. I have been a vulnerable target for those who want money | |
|

| You know, let's put it this way, if all the people in Hollywood who have had plastic surgery, if they went on vacation, there wouldn't be a person left in town | |

|
278 |
| I just wish I could understand my father | |

|
273 |
| I don't like pop music | |
|
267 |

|
266 |
| I'm happy to be alive, I'm happy to be who I am | |
|
265 |
| I'm a visionary and a creative person. God blessed me with certain talents. I hate to use an analogy, but Walt Disney was creative but not good with business. His brother Roy handled the books. He loved creating family-oriented entertainment and so do I. I feel that was a gift and I have that gift also. I'm very honored to have been chosen | |
|
263 |
| Elizabeth Taylor is gorgeous, beautiful, and she still is today, I'm crazy about her | |
|
262 |
| I would do my schooling which was three hours with a tutor and right after that I would go to the recording studio and record, and I'd record for hours and hours until it's time to go to sleep | |

257 |
| When I see children, I see the face of God. That's why I love them so much. That's what I see | |
|
255 |
| I was a veteran before I was a teenager | |
|
255 |
| I just want to say to fans in every corner of the earth, every nationality, every race, every language: I love you from the bottom of my heart. I would love your prayers and your goodwill, and please be patient and be with me and believe in me because I am completely, completely innocent. But please know a lot of conspiracy is going on as we speak | |
|
254 |
| Because I wanted to have a place that I could create everything that I never had as a child. So, you see rides. You see animals. There's a movie theater | |
|
254 |

| The meaning of life is contained in every single expression of life. It is present in the infinity of forms and phenomena that exist in all of creation | |
|
252 |
| I go around the world dealing with running and hiding. I can't take a walk in the park. I can't go to the store. I have to hide in the room. You feel like you're in prison | |
|
252 |
| Elizabeth Taylor is a warm cuddly blanket that I love to snuggle up to and cover myself with. I can confide in her and trust her. She's Mother Teresa, Princess Diana, the Queen of England, and Wendy | |
|
252 |
| I love my children. I was holding my son tight. Why would I throw a baby off the balcony? That's the dumbest, stupidest story I ever heard | |
|
251 |
| Not sexual. We're going to sleep | |
|

|
244 |
| I trusted Martin Bashir to come into my life and that of my family because I wanted the truth to be told. Martin Bashir persuaded me to trust him that his would be an honest and fair portrayal of my life and told me that he was the man that turned Diana's life around. I am surprised that a professional journalist would compromise his integrity by deceiving me in this way. Today I feel more betrayed than perhaps ever before; that someone, who had got to know my children, my staff and me, whom I let into my heart and told the truth, could then sacrifice the trust I placed in him and produce this terrible and unfair programme. Everyone who knows me will know the truth which is that my children come first in my life and that I would never harm any child. I also want to thank my fans around the world for the overwhelming number of messages of support that I have received, particularly from Great Britain, where people have e-mailed me and said how appalled they were by the Bashir film. Their love and support has touched me greatly | |
|
242 |
| People think they know me, but they don't. Not really. Actually, I am one of the loneliest people on this earth. I cry sometimes, because it hurts. It does. To be honest, I guess you could say that it hurts to be me | |
|
238 |
| And the dream we were conceived in will reveal a joyful face... and the world we once believed in will shine again in grace | |
|
236 |
| There is a lot of sadness in my past life. My father beat me. It was difficult to take being beaten and then going on stage. He was strict; very hard and stern |  |
|
235 |
| Everyone who knows me will know the truth, which is that my children come first in my life and that I would never harm any child | |
|
235 |
| It's a complete lie, why do people buy these papers? It's not the truth I'm here to say. You know, don't judge a person, do not pass judgement, unless you have talked to them one on one. I don't care what the story is, do not judge them because it is a lie | |
|
231 |
| Great. I just got to kiss the most beautiful girl in the world. I hope I'm worthy of her. I think I might marry her | |
|
231 |
| When I saw him move I was mesmerized. I've never seen a performer perform like James Brown and right then and there I knew that that was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life | |
|
230 |
| I am always writing a potpourri of music. I want to give the world escapism through the wonder of great music and to reach the masses | |
|
230 |
| I am bewildered at the length to which people will go to portray me so negatively | |
|
230 |
| 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 | |
|
230 |
| I will say again that I have never, and would never, harm a child. It sickens me that people have written untrue things about me | |
|
230 |
| I love my family very much. I wish I could see them a little more often than I do. But we understand because we're a show business family and we all work | |
|
227 |
| My mother's wonderful. To me she's perfection | |
|
226 |
| Everything that I love is behind those gates. We have elephants, and giraffes, and crocodiles, and every kind of tigers and lions. And we have bus loads of kids, who don't get to see those things. They come up sick children, and enjoy it | |
|
226 |
| Because parents have power over children. They feel they have to do what their parents say. But the love of money is the root of all evil. And this is a sweet child. And to see him turn like this, this isn't him. This is not him | |
|
226 |
| Well Brooke, I've always liked her, and when I was little I used to stay with Diana Ross, me and my brothers stayed with her for years and I never said, but I always had a crush on her | |
|
223 |
| There's a Mother's Day and there's a Father's Day, but there's no Children's Day. It would mean a lot. World peace | |
|
222 |
| My heart and prayers go out to every individual | |
|
222 |
| People who grew up as child stars have the same thing in common. You're cute, they love you; you go through the awkward stage, they don't accept you any more. Very few make the transition to adult star | |

|
218 |

|
214 |
| I believe in my heart that the music community will come together as one and rally to the aid of thousands of innocent victims. There is a tremendous need for relief dollars right now and through this effort each one of us can play an immediate role in helping comfort so many people | |
|
210 |
| think every child star suffers through this period because you're not the cute and charming child that you were. You start to grow, and they want to keep you little forever | |
|
209 |
| I never had the chance to do the fun things kids do, There was no Christmas, no holiday celebrating. So now you try to compensate for some of that loss | |
|
208 |
| They did it to try and belittle me, to try and to take away my pride. But I went through the whole system with them. And at the end, I wanted the public to know that I was okay, even though I was hurting | |
|
206 |
| Let us dream of tomorrow where we can truly love from the soul, and know love as the ultimate truth at the heart of all creation | |
|
206 |
| I can't think of a better way to spread the message of world peace than by working with the NFL and being part of Super Bowl XXVII | |

|
199 |
| I'm never pleased with anything, I'm a perfectionist, it's part of who I am | |
|
198 |
| Press coverage of my life is like looking at a fictitious movie. Because it's fiction. It's like watching science fiction. It's not true | |

| Well, you don't get to do things that other children get to do, having friends and slumber parties and buddies. There were none of that for me. I didn't have friends when I was little. My brothers were my friends | |

| I rememeber one time we were getting ready to go to South America and everything was packed up and in the car ready to go and I hid and I was crying because I really did not want to go, I wanted to play. I did not want to go | |
|

|
184 |
| Yes, and I had pimples so badly it used to make me so shy. I used not to look at myself. I'd hide my face in the dark, I wouldn't want to look in the mirror and my father teased me and I just hated it and I cried everyday | |
|
182 |
| Please keep an open mind and let me have my day in court | |
|

|
180 |
| All of Hollywood has plastic surgery. I don't know why they point me out. The press exaggerated it. It's just my nose, you know. They want it to be everything. Just the nose isn't enough | |
|
178 |

|
173 |
| Elizabeth Taylor used to feed me, to hand-feed me, at times. Please, I don't want anybody to think I'm starving, I'm not. My health is perfect, actually | |
|
