PARIS JACKSON

A lot of people don't like me.

I originally wanted to be an astronaut when I was a kid. Then I had this huge fear of black holes because my brother learned a bunch of stuff about it, and he's like, 'Oh, yeah, if you go into one you're never coming back.'

A ton of kids at school have made fun of me; if I had to give advice to other girls, I would say, 'Hang loose and ignore them. They shouldn't faze you no matter how popular they think they are.'

I do have, like, a regular childhood. I mean, I'm treated the same.

I didn't get why I was wearing a mask. But I understand it now - why my dad would want our face to be covered.

Ever since I was born, Daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine. And I just want to say that I love him so much.

I never met anyone before who made me feel the way music makes me feel.

I consider myself black.

I love my dad, and I'm proud to be his daughter.

I want to have a normal high-school experience.

I just don't think the title 'MJ's daughter' fits me.

I have lots of memories of my father. He was an incredible father. We all loved him to death. He'd try to educate us as much as he could and was always looking out for us. He was very protective.

They always say, 'Time heals.' But it really doesn't. You just get used to it. I live life with the mentality of 'OK, I lost the only thing that has ever been important to me.' So going forward, anything bad that happens can't be nearly as bad as what happened before.

My dad was in the movie 'Moonwalker,' and I knew he could sing really well, but I didn't know he could act. I saw that, and I said, 'Wow, I want to be just like him.'

Some people try to cyber bully me; they try to get to me with words, but that doesn't really work.

I've had a lot of mother figures. But by the time my mom came into my life, it wasn't a 'mommy' thing. It's more of an adult relationship.

I listen to older music like AC/DC.

I know my dad always wanted to heal the world, and so I think it would be great to follow in his footsteps.

The whole freedom-of-speech thing is great. But I don't think that our Founding Fathers predicted social media when they created all of these amendments and stuff.

I've had self-esteem issues for a really, really long time. Plenty of people think I'm ugly, and plenty of people don't. But there's a moment when I'm modeling where I forget about my self-esteem issues and focus on what the photographer's telling me - and I feel pretty. And in that sense, it's selfish.

I want to help people. That's it.

There are a lot of bad people out there.

I want to be my own person.

I do have a regular childhood.
