Women and Trust—Lisa Marie Presley and His Brothers’ Wives
本帖最后由 lovelymj 于 2009-10-8 08:35 编辑
SB: How do you feel about men who are not faithful to their wives?
MJ: I don't think it is good. But I understand it. I know that is a strange answer.
SB: You find women who fall in love with you all the time as this megastar, so you don’t judge men who are unfaithful, because sometimes you’ll ascribe it to women who make themselves available?
MJ: I don’t judge them because women can do some things that make guys very unhappy. I have seen it with my brothers. I have seen my brothers crying, in tears and pulling the grass out of the lawn with frustration because of their wives.
SB: Do you think a lot of their wives were more interested in their success than in them?
MJ: Absolutely. They were after their money. That's why I told myself I would never be married. I held out the longest. I stayed at home until I was 27, 28.
SB: So was part of the attraction to Lisa Marie that she had her own money and her own fame and you didn’t have to be anxious that she was interested in you for the wrong reasons?
MJ: Absolutely, and she didn’t take a penny. She didn’t want anything. She makes about a million dollars a year from Elvis memorabilia and selling all that stuff and she has her own thing. She is not here to take, you know.
(rabbi talks about how MJ always spoke very highly of Lisa except for the time he mentioned her getting pushy about Scientology)
SB: So that means there was almost like one girl in the whole world that you could marry because even a rich woman would want your name. You needed someone with money and a name. You were down to a Presley or a McCartney or something like that.
MJ: I know. Lisa was great. She was a sweet person. But it is hard to tie me down. I can’t stay in one place one time so that’s why I don’t know if I can really be completely married all the time.
SB: Did you want to be a father to her kids.
MJ: Yes.
SB: Do you still stay in touch with the children?
MJ: Yes, and with her.
SB: But marriage is too confining?
MJ: Yes. I don’t know whether I am disciplined enough because I am such a rolling stone. I have such a life when I am always on the move and women don’t like that. They want you to be settled in one place all the time but I have to move. I have been in the same city as where my house is and I’ll check into a hotel just to feel like I am going somewhere. My house is right there. I guess I am just moving, all the time, moving.
SB: You have gotten used to it.
MJ: I love being on the move, love it.
SB: It impresses me that everywhere you go you take your children with you. So you are on the move but it is almost like your household moves with you. Prince and Paris aren’t unsettled because of it because their source of security is always with them. But what about the families who don’t have the resources for that, and most don’t? They don’t have enough to be able to fly the kids around here and there. Businessmen who have to travel, they fly economy just to afford their own fare, and they can’t possibly bring their kids along every time. Should they not travel?
MJ: I feel bad for their children. I feel bad for their children. I always ask pilots and stewards how they do it? The children suffer. Absolutely. They suffer.
SB: You wouldn’t be doing this if Paris and Prince were going to suffer as a result. You are doing it because you have the resources to bring them where you are.
MJ: I couldn’t hurt them like that.
SB: Do you want to find them a Rose Fine kinds of figure, a bit of a motherhood figure?
MJ: That would be nice. That would be so sweet. If the person is completely sincere like Miss Fine was, who would read to them and them that there’s no difference and that we are all the same people. She used to always rub my face and I never used to understand why. She used to say I had beautiful hands. And I used to say, “Why, don’t all hands look alike?” But now I see what she means because now I do it do my kids. I rub their face like that because they are so sweet. [Laughs] I never understood why she did it to me. Then you grow up and you realize that it is an endearing thing to do, to say, “I love you.”
