I Have A Career I Am Proud

I Asked Michael Jackson Once. I Said To Him, 'how Were You Able To Go From The Jackson Five To The Biggest Star In The World? What Was Your Secret, Michael?' He Said, 'ricky, Stay Inspired. That's The Hardest Thing To Do. If You Can Figure Out A Way To Stay Inspired, You Can Make It.'

I Demand Excellence From The People I Work With.

I Met The Queen, The Pope, And We Went All Over Europe And Asia. I Just Wish I Was Older When I Did All This. Then I Could Appreciate It More.

My Sympathies Go Out To The Young Performers Today Because They Are Under A Microscope In A Way I Wasn't. Now Everybody's Got A Camera Phone And Can Record At Will Or Take Pictures Of You. It's Just A Different World. I Don't Know How I Would Have Fared Back Then.

I Can Be Tough On Actors, But I Also Let Them Know Early On In Our Relationship What I Expect From Them.
