I grew up listening to a lot of Usher at 13 and 14. I have every Usher album that ever existed. So I grew up listening to a lot of Usher, Michael Jackson, Luis Miguel, a lot of pioneers in Latin music.
I don’t think I’ll be remembered in a big Michael Jackson, Led Zeppelin way. I think I’ll be remembered in this way: by the people who were there, who can’t capture or explain it. I’m not trying to brag or anything. It’s not about me. It’s about facilitating a good time for everyone.
Michael Brown’s tragic death has revealed a deep distrust between some in the Ferguson community and its police force. It also developed a need to develop and widely disseminate law enforcement best practices for responding to public demonstrations.
Plenty of people detested Michael Jackson before his death wiped away the world’s collective memory. Timberlake was originally dismissed as just another boy-bander. Legions have joined in a ‘Hate Anne Hathaway’ movement. Elvis, the Rolling Stones, Kristen Bell, even Mozart had haters.
I’m really into tall boots. I just got some new ones from Michael Kors that have these little gold studs. I have Valentino ones that I really love. Real, real tall boots!

The judge gave Michael permission to issue a statement. I think Jackson went way outside the bounds of the judge’s intent. It will be interesting to see what the judge does tomorrow in court.
Someone tried to introduce me to Michael Bloomberg, but I declined.
There’s something really amazing about watching an actor like Michael C. Hall or Jennifer Carpenter, who are completely professional and do everything so brilliantly, but yet can have a really great time on set.
I grew up playing sports, so I think of what it would be like to be in the NBA if you were a great player when Michael Jordan was playing. You could’ve been a phenomenal player, but you’re in the Jordan era. That’s the unfortunate thing about the competitive nature of entertainment. But we know what we signed up for.
If people hate Michael Langdon, that’s a good thing. I’m not going to debate that. I don’t worry about making him likeable… My real focus in playing Langdon is making his intentions clear and how he operates and what his mission is and how he shapes the perception of who he is around people.
Michael Jackson, he used to chase relevancy all the time. He always wanted to go a little bigger and better and keep that audience. There was never a point where Michael was going to feel like, ‘I’ve got to play the Nokia, and that’s all I’m going to pull in is the Nokia.’ That would not have been acceptable.
Even for the most difficult scenes, and there are difficult scenes in the film, and because Michael Haneke is such a great film-maker – I think a great film-maker is not only being inspired, but how to do it, how to make it as real as possible, knowing that it’s not real.
‘Slow West’ is a film that I did with Michael Fassbender in New Zealand and Scotland. The director was John McLean. It’s a film set in the 1800s. I play a young Scottish boy brought up in the royal family. I fall in love with someone who works on our land.
Michael Bates was a very funny actor; he’d served in India, could speak Urdu, and had great comic timing.

I dominated Michael Bisping.
The cure for the Michael Brown, Trayvon Martin, Tamir Rice and Eric Garner tragedies is not education or exposure. It’s the gospel.
Myself, Marion Jones and Michael Johnson all got married on the same day because it was the only point on the athletics’ schedule we could fit in. October 3, 1998.
Being Michael Jordan means acting the same as I always have.
What I did not want to be was a fad, because fads die. I had one of the George Michael Wham! neon-colored sweatshirts, and I thought it would never go out of style. Fads die.
At a party in L.A., I met this middle-aged gentleman who I was talking to for ages when I asked, ‘So, what do you do?’ Turns out I was speaking to legendary music producer Quincy Jones, who worked on Michael Jackson’s hits. And there was little old me rattling on – I was so embarrassed.
Shortly after her feeding tube is removed, Terri Schiavo receives the Catholic ceremony of last rites. Michael Schiavo stays in a room down the hall. He remains at his wife’s side throughout the day, except when her immediate family comes to see Terri.
Many witnesses to the shooting of Michael Brown made statements inconsistent with other statements they made and also conflicted with the physical evidence. Some were completely refuted by the physical evidence.
My name is Michael Pennington, and I am not a comic character.
Michael Vick may enjoy watching dogs fight. Someone else may find that repulsive but see nothing wrong with eating an animal who has had a life as full of pain and suffering as the lives of the fighting dogs. It’s strange that we regard the latter as morally different from, and superior to, the former.
There’s only one Michael Jordan.
I grew up in the church and loved contemporary Christian music. I go back to the early days of when it first started with the likes of Amy Grant and Michael W. Smith. Those people that really pioneered are heroes of mine.
If we all had a little bit of Michael Jackson in us, I think it would make the world a better place.
That was the moment I wanted to use bitcoin: when I saw Harriet Tubman on a $20 bill. It’s like, when you see all the slave movies, it’s like, why you gotta keep reminding us about slavery? Why don’t you put Michael Jordan on a $20 bill?
Michael Chertoff and the Department of Homeland Security, they have the primary responsibility of ensuring that our ports are secure.
Beyonce is very special. I think the super-pop thing that supposedly died with Michael Jackson is still there with her.
I can tell you categorically that we at 60 Minutes did not pay Michael Jackson one cent.
The first bit of vinyl I bought was Michael Jackson’s ‘Bad.’
Michael’s the ultimate entertainer. After Michael Jackson, it’s Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, and Bruce Lee.
I can remember me and my cousin always fighting. He was a big Bulls and Michael Jordan guy.
My dream is to work with people like Meryl Streep, Michael Fassbender, Christian Bale and Cate Blanchett. To me, those are true storytellers – genuine people who have stories to tell and make incredible films.
Michael Cohen is one of the world’s greatest evidence hoarders. He rarely threw anything away.
When my friends were listening to hip-hop or R&B, I was in the crib listening to Billy Joel and Michael Bolton, Luther Vandross, and Oscar Peterson.
I ran into my old friend Michael Kenneth Williams, who I worked with on a show called ‘The Philanthropist’ for NBC. He was going to be doing this show called ‘Hap and Leonard.’ He was playing Leonard, and they were looking for somebody to play Hap.
Jason Voorhees was a kid who was picked on at summer camp, and Michael Myers was someone vilified by his own family. I think that’s why gay people like horror movies, because it’s seeking revenge on the privileged.
I have a weird and undying love for George Michael. He’s the reason why I want to do what I do.
I have a gut instinctive feeling that I will be as massive as Madonna, as massive as Michael Jackson… Whitney Houston, sure.
In 2007, Michael Grimm, former Marine, former FBI agent, accountant and attorney, was poised for success as a small business owner. Instead, as alleged, Grimm made the choice to go from upholding the law to breaking it. In so doing, he turned his back on every oath he had ever taken.
Michael and Alex, I love you. And we’re going to have the biggest celebration when you get home.
I nearly died twice after I replaced Michael Crawford in ‘EFX.’
Michael Sunday and I are the original members of the band. We first did it just for charities and benefit concerts. It was very ad-hoc, and before we knew it, we were really a band. We went through several drummers and guitarists before we were happy with the line up.
I was very shocked to hear about Michael Jackson’s passing. He was a pioneer, and icon and a legend. I remember buying ‘Thriller’ when I was pretty young.
My friends were the class clowns, but I was the one in class doing Michael Jordan or teachers for no reason. I’ve always been amazing at impersonating real people, too, rather than celebrities.
I’ve loved Michael Jackson, his music, his music videos.
I had been cut from the basketball team every year. But I was like, ‘I can turn it around! Michael Jordan made it!’ You see it a lot of times – you’ll have an athlete that you love, and then they’ll be like, ‘I also want to rap,’ and you’re like, ‘Don’t do that.’ I was that kid.
