• To you, Michael is an icon. To us, Michael is family and he will forever live in our hearts. On behalf of my family and myself, thank you for all of your love, thank you for all of your support. We miss him so much. Thank you so much.
  • 2009 BET Awards

• Acceptance is right. Kindness is right. Love is right. I pray, right now, that we're moving into a kinder time when prejudice is overcome by understanding; when narrow-mindedness, and narrow-minded bigotry is overwhelmed by open-hearted empathy; when the pain of judgmentalism is replaced by the purity of love.

• You ought to be thankful for the little things
  But little things are all you seem to give
  You're always putting off what we can do today
  Soap opera says you've got one life to live
  Who's right, who's wrong?
  • What Have You Done for Me Lately

• I'm not a prude, I just want some respect (that's right)
  So close the door if you want me to respond
  Cause privacy is my middle name
  My last name is control
  No, my first name ain't baby
  It's Janet — Ms. Jackson, if you're nasty
  • Nasty

• Seeing that your love's true.
  Never I'll doubt you.
  My heart belongs to you.
  That's alright with me.
  Worlds could end around me.
  So in love that I can't see.
  You and me were meant to be.
  That's alright with me.
  • Alright

• I don't know if I've ever felt like this before
  But I'm sure that the way I feel, I don't want it to go
  'Cuz I've cried my share of tears
  And I've sang my share of blues
  But to keep you over here, I'll do what I got to do

  Touch It, It said so
  So come and get it babe
