Molly: Well, Michael, I can finally welcome te to Australia, and whether te like it o not, being the King of Pop and the biggest recording stella, star in the world, what is your philosophy of staying at the top?
Michael Jackson: Boy, I think being humble and believing in yourself and having true Amore in your cuore for the world and really trying to help people through lyrics and the Amore of Musica and dance because I truly do Amore people very much.
Molly: Realising that, but does it not put pressure on you, I mean that te have to be...
MJ: Well it always
Molly: ...and they hold te in such esteem.
MJ: Well it always does. The successivo album has to be better than the other. [laughs]
Molly: Well how do te cope with all the hysteria? I mean wherever te go, whether its London, whether its Munich, whether its New York, whether its Bangkok, whether its Giappone and even here in Australia, how do te cope with the hysteria?
MJ: Um...I know its all love, so it makes my cuore very happy and I like to give it back, te know through however I can give and it puts a smile on my face to see all the children and all the teenagers and the adults, the demographics. It makes my cuore very happy, I Amore them, I Amore all the fan very much.
Molly: Well coping with the hysteria, I mean I can't cope with it, I mean watching all this going on around, I mean the press have been absolutely manic, its been manic mania. Can I ask you, do te ever relax? Does Michael Jackson ever relax? Cause I know you're a workaholic.
MJ: [smiles] Yes, I am a workaholic. Uh, I don't relax really, I don't sleep a lot, I like to continually... my mind never stops. I'm always creating. I never stop. But, I Amore a good water balloon fight o te know playing around, goofing off, Nintendo games, arcades.
Molly: Now Michael, I have to ask te this question. Being possibly the biggest profilo in the world, um I guess Princess Diana matches you, te read all these amazing stories about Michael Jackson. I mean I don't know whether they're true o not. te read that Michael Jackson's a weirdo, te read that Michael Jackson's bizarre, te read that he's done this, he's done that. Now I know some of those stories are not true because even I was accused of being at your wedding, and I knew that wasn't true. But how do te cope, how do te feel about all these stories that are written about you?
MJ: It's very sad, I just want the fan to know and to understand that is not the truth. 99.9% of it is not the truth. And don't read it, don't believe it, it's garbage. It's tabloid junk, I mean they just simply make it up for greed and money. So please don't listen to it, it's trash.
Molly: Alright now, there's one più domanda I've gotta ask you. It's about a personal friend of yours. But I have gotta ask te this question..
[Michael looks sternly at him]
(Molly was granted the interview on the condition that Michael had approval of the questions, and this bit was obviously not pre-approved)
Molly: I am a Stephen King fanatic, I have every book...
[Michael starts to laugh]
Molly: ...that possibly Stephen King has written, um... te can say mind your own business. And I know you've done Ghosts with him and I think that's a sensational piece of work.
MJ: Thank you.
Molly: Did te enjoy doing that?
MJ: Very much, yes.. yes.
Molly: I mean that skeleton blew me right out..
MJ: Where te there at the premiere?
Molly: No, but I've seen it at home.
MJ: Ooohh
Molly: It is just amazing. Can I ask te what is Stephen King like?
MJ: Stephen King is a very gentle sweet kind man I mean the profilo that we see... the books, with his works... he's nothing like that. He's very humble.
Molly: Right.
MJ: Ahhh... A lot of people judge me the same way. I'm pretty simple... I Amore to create. I Amore to make magic. I Amore to create the unexpected. te know. And Stephen, he's just wonderful, he's not bizarre o strange o weird. He's a loving person.
Molly: And great to work with?
MJ: Great to work with. Together, he and I wrote Ghosts and had fun doing it.
Molly: Alright now, listen, I never normally asks for autographs. But this is a Stephen King book and it's called Insomnia, and I'm sure over the last week I've had no sleep...
[Michael starts to laugh]
Molly: ...with the Michael Jackson thing. Can te sign this book of Stephen King for me?
MJ: Sure. Sure. [Takes the book and signs it]

My History Starts when i was 4 years old and my parents were whatching tv and then appears Thriller on Tv.
I was really scared but i really loved the song.
Then when i was 5 years old my aunt gave me a MJ cd with all his Musica video (i specially fell in Amore with the "Bad" Musica video, i think he looks so sexy in it) I was obssesed with that cd, i even used to listen it every day.
Then i forgot Michael's Musica for years.
But now i am a huge fan of his music, im in Amore with him.
I feel embarrassed to say to my Friends that i Amore MJ so its a secret. Well thats all
PS: sorry for my english but my original language its spanish

It all started when I was 7 years old. Somewhere in the mese of June o July, I got news that Michael Jackson had died. I didn't care much at that time. Life went on as usual for me. Them my dad upgraded his car and one giorno gave me a lift in it. I turned on the Musica player. The first song? Thriller(the song). I fell in Amore with it...
Then only had I realized who Michael Jackson was. My dad still had più songs. I listened to them all.
As soon as the player struck Little Susie, my dad would change the song. I did not know why. I downloaded Little Susie and listened. After the song was over, my eyes were waterfalls. The song was absolutely gloomy. I researched the story and finally ended up here on this site. Only fanpop gave me a reasonable explanation for Little Susie.
I created my own account on this site, just to praise him...
He shall live in my cuore forever...
