"No. No, not at all. Being a world traveler, I’m touched and moved by everything that happens, especially to children. It gets me emotionally sick and I go through a lot of pain when I see that type of pain. I can’t pretend as if I don’t see it. It affects me very much. For some reason, there’s a certain part of my concert where I break down in every show and in that spot I get a certain thought – I think of the plight of the children and it gets me every time. I don’t know why in that place. It’s during ‘I’ll Be There’, the thoughts just come to me and I try hard to contain myself.” - Michael Jackson as a response to the question, “Is it difficult to relate to the needs and the pain of others?"
- ~Michael Jackson (1995)
