Joe Jackson is a great man. The problem that people have with my father is that he tells it like it is. He's just straight up and doesn't beat around the bush. Tough love.

I owe a large part of my success to Joe Brown, who helped me both as a player and a person.

The only real happiness a ballplayer has is when he is playing a ball game and accomplishes something he didn't think he could do.

Joe Jackson was a tragic figure. He was a serene country boy who signed a confession he couldn't read. He was illiterate.

Despite the sometimes sordid turns his life took, Michael Jackson always held my fascination, like he did for most of us.

I was just totally taken by Michael Jackson when I was a little kid, like everyone else.

I have to admit, I sometimes wonder how much more successful I would have been as a coach had it not been for my spending summers on the golf course. I could have watched more film, that's for sure. One advantage Joe Paterno had over me was that he didn't play golf.

I didn't think I'd ever be a Michael Jackson fan. But... watching him move, watching him dance, is so encouraging for me. Because, in my mind, I can do all that stuff.

I think Joe Jackson is a great American figure. In my opinion, he became a scapegoat.

I always felt before Paul Brown, coaches just rolled the ball out onto the field.
