Michael Jackson has some contact with his mother. I know she is involved with the children

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.

You know why Madison Avenue advertising has never done well in Harlem? We're the only ones who know what it means to be Brand X.

. . . money . . . is really the difference between men and animals, most of the things men feel, animals feel, and vice versa, but animals do not know about money.

Television is now so desperately hungry for material that they're scraping the top of the barrel.

One of the most irresponsible things we can do is eat in ignorance, without any awareness of what our eating is doing to the world or to other species.

It was a dark, blustery afternoon in spring, and the city of London was chasing a small mining town across the dried-out bed of the old North Sea.

When there is an income tax, the just man will pay more and the unjust less on the same amount of income.
