When I was a kid, I was denied not only a childhood, but I was denied love. When I reached out to hug my father, he didn't hug me back. When I was scared on an airplane, he didn't put his arm around me and say, Michael, don't worry. It's going to be OK. When I was scared to go on stage, he said, get your ass on that stage. … I will never deny a child love. If it means that I have to be crucified or put in jail for it, then that's just what they're going to have to do.
