Bob Colacello: Why do you want to forget so much? Do you think life is really hard?

Michael Jackson: No, maybe it’s because I just like jumping in other people’s lives and exploring. Like Charlie Chaplin. I just love him to death. The little tramp, the whole gear and everything, and his heart—everything he portrayed on the screen was a truism. It was his whole life. He was born in London, and his father died an alcoholic when he was six. He roamed the streets of England, begging, poor, hungry. All this reflects on the screen and that’s what I like to do, to bring all of those truths out.

Whitney Houston: Michael, I am honoured to present to you with the Philips Hall of Fame Achievement award for your enormous contribution to state of the art of video. This award honours you for your consistent artistic and technical excellence in all forms of video and for raising the standard of art form to new horizons.
