Black people were very angry with me for writing the book. A lot of people didn't believe me, or didn't want to believe me, and that used to really bother me. It was a very painful and difficult time.

He will be beginning a brand new chapter in the Michael Jackson legend.

I am pleased to tell you that he is finally getting some rest and is regaining his appetite as well.
LaToya Jackson

I can honestly say that I am happier now than I have ever been. For the first time in my life I feel free.
LaToya Jackson

I can't say it's not painful being estranged from most of my family. I wish it could be otherwise.
LaToya Jackson

I love my family and I miss them very much but I'm a new person now. I know a lot of people will not agree with what I've done, but it was right for me.
LaToya Jackson

I married him because he told me it was the only way he could protect me. If we were just manager and client, my family could do whatever they wanted to get me back, but if I was his wife, they couldn't.
LaToya Jackson

I posed nude to show my parents they couldn't dictate to me any more - that I control my life.
LaToya Jackson

I realize now I didn't really want to die. I just wanted to stop the hurt and pain.
LaToya Jackson

I think the deepest problem is between my parents and me. I just don't know if it will ever be the same.
LaToya Jackson


I'll never stop dreaming that one day we can be a real family, together, all of us laughing and talking, loving and understanding, not looking at the past but only to the future.
LaToya Jackson

It is so difficult in the world for people to find love, true love.
LaToya Jackson

It was so strange. I knew that Josephine Baker had performed on the same stage but that night I felt it. Many of the same people who worked with Josephine Baker are still here. They know what they're doing. And that was a very comfortable feeling.
LaToya Jackson

J has told me about his past. I know what happened and why. But he is the one person who made me believe in my talent and whatever happened in the past, he's been a wonderful manager to me.
LaToya Jackson

Michael and I talk at least every two weeks. He understands why I've done the things I have.
LaToya Jackson

Our marriage is strictly in name only. It has never been consummated.
LaToya Jackson

People had this image of the Jacksons as the perfect American family and I destroyed that image. But what people have to understand is writing that book was very healing for me.
LaToya Jackson

The end of the trial and the 'not guilty' verdicts on all counts, clearing Michael of all charges, mean that he can now concentrate on the future and his art.
LaToya Jackson

This is a very big victory for Michael and we are all very proud that he has been completely and totally vindicated in court, as we were certain he would be.
LaToya Jackson

This is the first time in my life I've ever been happy, not completely happy, but happier than I've ever been.
