Listening to soft music and the sound of the ocean is quite relaxing to me.

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

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

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.

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.

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.
