When I am abroad, I always make it a rule never to criticize or attack the government of my own country. I make up for lost time when I come home.

You don't expect music to be brilliant when the films are so bad.

Michael Jackson's album was only called Bad because there wasn't enough room on the sleeve for Pathetic.

All these non-singing, non-dancing, wish-I-had-me-some-clothes fools who tell me my albums suck. Why should I pay any attention to them?

I take everything that comes and let it bounce right off me because I know the time will come when nobody will be able to speak falsely.

Anyone who lip-synchs in public on stage when you pay 75 pounds to see them should be shot.
