Fan : Michael, are you going to do a new world tour soon?
Michael: No, I don't think so… music is a part of my life and I want to begin something else… for the moment, I think I am going to produce movies, play in movies. That's what I want to do.
Roz – (facing the camera) " The King of Pop is working hard to establish a sizeable business kingdom. He has teamed up with a big time entrepreneur and they are wooing the New York investment banker community. Even though my questions were extremely limited, I'm glad I got to go one on one, with MJ." [She says that with pride]
"The King As Pop" – From LIFE Magazine
You have two nurses, three chefs and a doting dad. You have a petting zoo, two locomotives and a full-scale amusement park – all in your backyard. And, oh yes, your godparents are Elizabeth Taylor and Macaulay Culkin. So you've got that going for you.
I would like to welcome all the journalists and press who are covering this historic press conference. For reasons I will soon share with you, Kingdom Entertainment represents a long avaiting dream come true.

Katey: How did this photo shoot come about?
Harry: Well, David Friend, who's the director or photography, at Life, he's been keeping in touch with Michael, as we all have, over the years, and Michael thought it was a good idea for us to come along and photograph his baby. He also wants Life to photograph the baby, every year of his life. Like what we did for Elizabeth Taylor.
