You took your dream to a much higher level and turned it into a reality, a reality of over 100 million records sold on that next album "Thriller." You thereafter continued to turn every one of your dreams into reality, while inspiring the world, and becoming the most recognizable, the most well-know, and the most loved person in the entire world.You’ve lived your dream, you’ve proven to us all that if we believe, you will achieve; you believed, and oh my, did you achieve! What you've accomplished is astounding - no one can ever possibly follow.

on her six year absence from the media radar: "I just needed to get all of the negativity out of my life and just go into finding out what I wanted and who I was and that's basically what I did."
on the Playboy pictorials... "I -- actually it was my management. It's nothing that I would have done on my own."
on Jack Gordon a.k.a. "the management": "I was promised that if I ever left, that I would be killed. And I believed it." "You know what? I'm in a good space in my life at the moment, and I want to keep it there. I'm very positive now, and I like that and I want to stay that way, actually."
on Michael and the children: "Michael -- he's doing fine. He's wonderful. Thanks for asking. And his children are just absolutely adorable."
She also stated that her new album "Starting Over" is slated for a summer 2003 release. A complete transcript appears here. Stay positive, Toya!

<<What about Jack?>>
LaToya divorced her manager/husband Jack Gordon in 1996. The Universal Love believes that although some of LaToya's most glorious moments occurred while under his management, he also hit her with a chair and forced her to do things she didn't want to do. We love you, Toya, and are glad you're free now! Read the complete divorce details here. In yet another predictable move for Jack, he reportedly is releasing a book of his own, where he will try and sell out "the secrets" of the Jackson Family, including an alleged Jackson Family monkey sacrifice! Sounds a lot like Jack doesn't have a publisher yet. Or a conscience.Jack Gordon at one point managed Elvis Presley Jr., who claims to be The King's Illegitimate son, and the newly re-nosed national skank: Paula Jones! Now we truly know what a complete scumbag Jack is, not that we ever thought otherwise... No doubt keep your eyes peeled for Paula's psychic infomercials*, Playboy** spread, and exotic club tour!Jack appeared on Extra saying that Paula once told him that she made up the whole thing Clinton Hotel encounter. Howard Stern gave him 2 lie detector tests, of which he passed one and failed the other.*How sad that our prediction came true! Jack "puppet master" Gordon eventually did book Paula a psychic line deal. Too bad nobody cared!**And even sadder, Paula posed for Penthouse!***PPS. Jack died in 2005 at age 66. Jack Gordon Wiki
