Don't close the book when bad things happen in your life! Just turn the page and start a new chapter!
I'll never stop dreaming that one day we can be a real family, together, all of us laughing and talking, loving and understanding, not looking at the past but only to the future.
There's a lesson to be learned out of everything we go through in life.
It's good to do things that are out of the norm.
I think life is a learning lesson within itself. I think you should take the best out of everything that you see and that you encounter and make the best of it.
I think that every day we are taught lessons and sometimes we don't realize or see it.
As far as I'm concerned, my life is just beginning. It's never too late to start over, so this is what I've been doing.
You do learn from what you've done in the past.
I think women need to have a lobby. I feel that women need to speak out. The first time a man hits you is one too many times and you need to do something about it. That something about it is walking out that door and seeking for help and never looking back.
When I wake up, I always thank God. I'm grateful for another day, and he's allowed me this tiny thing that we should be appreciative of.
Everything starts with the inner being, your inner self - it all comes from you and we so often forget that. We think, "He made me angry." He didn't make you angry; you made yourself angry. Don't allow him to get to your inner space.
Listening to soft music and the sound of the ocean is quite relaxing to me.
I've always wanted to adopt kids ever since I was 16 years old. I always said I'm going to adopt, I'm going to adopt. There's too many kids in the world that need love and attention, I can give it to them.
Growth is what we all need and what we all strive for because we want to get better and better and better each day.
I'll be honest with you: love is not always what we think it is. It is a roller coaster ride going through this, and it's beautiful at the same time.
There's a lesson to be learned out of everything we go through in life. I recall when I left [Jack Gordon], and my mother was so upset. "How could you allow him to beat you? You should really be upset with him." And I said, "Mother, I can't be." She goes, "Why?" I said, "Because I can't harbor hatred in my heart." I was extremely religious and extremely naïve. God took me through that for a reason, for me to learn the outcome.
Michael and I talk at least every two weeks. He understands why I've done the things I have.
I love songs that people can dance to and enjoy at the same time.
I realize now I didn't really want to die. I just wanted to stop the hurt and pain.
When people are in love, I don't see anything wrong with it in the world. If they choose to live their lives and get married, why should we interfere? A lot of people don't agree with me, but that's how I feel.
I posed nude to show my parents they couldn't dictate to me any more - that I control my life.
I'm urging all women, I ask them the first time men hit you, please walk away. There is help out there. There are a lot of places that you can go and get help. That's the first step to your freedom and to your life is to walk away.
J has told me about his past. I know what happened and why. But he is the one person who made me believe in my talent and whatever happened in the past, he's been a wonderful manager to me.
He will be beginning a brand new chapter in the Michael Jackson legend.
I am pleased to tell you that he is finally getting some rest and is regaining his appetite as well.
