"Because I think every child star suffers through this period because you're not the cute and charming child that you were. You start to grow, and they want to keep you little forever"

About this Quote
In this quote, Michael Jackson is going over how kid stars often have a difficult time transitioning from being charming and lovely children to maturing and ending up being grownups. He suggests that this shift can be tough due to the fact that the industry wishes to keep kid stars young and valuable, rather than enabling them to grow and develop as people. This, in turn, can develop a great deal of pressure and stress for kid stars who are trying to find their location in the world.

"If I ever do anything, it actually might be some fantasy elf thing or even some cute, funny thing. Just to do something a little bit out of the ordinary. I've done my superhero gig"
