GERALDO RIVERA: How you doing, man?

MICHAEL JACKSON: How you doing?

GERALDO RIVERA: Good to see you. You get to smile anymore?

MICHAEL JACKSON: Of course, I smile a lot.

GERALDO RIVERA: You smile when you’re in a recording studio like this one, doing music?

MICHAEL JACKSON: Of course, I love music.

GERALDO RIVERA: Is it nice to get back to the music?

MICHAEL JACKSON: It’s fantastic. Because ahhh… It’s my life. That’s what I do.

GERALDO RIVERA: You’ve been so distracted, you know, you want to talk about how you’re feeling?

MICHAEL JACKSON: I’m doing fine Geraldo, how are you?

GERALDO RIVERA: Despite whatever else goes on in the world, you’re doing ok?

MICHAEL JACKSON: I’m doing very well, thank you.

GERALDO RIVERA: You know, it was wonderful, seeing you with the children. That I think, is the real Michael Jackson that has not been seen… you with your own children, one in diapers the other two toddlers… I don’t know how you manage without a nanny.

MICHAEL JACKSON: Well, I enjoy taking care of my children myself it’s… it’s fun that’s why I had them so I could take care of them and it’s just great relief for me you know it’s a pleasure it keeps me happy and laughing and you know, they’re wonderful sweet innocent children.

GERALDO RIVERA: I saw you as kind of the arbitrator between the ‘Nickelodeon’ and the ‘Disney Channel’ there. You got some really difficult problems to solve there. But you have such a- a kind of a normal life there. It’s sweet to see.

MICHAEL JACKSON: Thank you. They bring me that.
