Oprah Winfrey Show talks about Jesse Jackson

Oprah: *in one of the guest bedrooms* Ladies and gentlemen, Jesse Jackson.

Jesse: *is sitting on a chair and waving while hugging Oprah*

Oprah: *sits down* Are you nervous?

Jesse: For what?

Oprah: For this interview?

Jesse: No, I'm fine.^^ I'm not shy...

Oprah: Not even for your first interview and it's live around the world? I thought you'd be a little nervous but you're not and that's great because if you're not nervous I won't be nervous. I just wanted to let the world know that when we agreed to do this interview you said you would be willing to talk to me about everything.

Jesse: Yep.

Oprah: I saw you in the background over there looking at those clips. Did that bring back memories?

Jesse: Yeah, some good and some bad. But I wouldn't trade them in for everything in the world.

Oprah: I also saw you laughing when you were dancing like Michael.

Jesse: Yeah, Michael is a child at heart. He helped me out a lot of times and I always want to be like him. I used to practice with Michael and I would get angry because I couldn't do the Moonwalk right. I would annoy Michael by saying things like, "Teach me the Moonwalk" or "How do you do that? How do you do that?" Many times. XD

Oprah: So he was a big mentor for you?

Jesse: *nods* He's like a mother, a father, and a friend to me.

Oprah: who else was your inspirations?

Jesse: Shukaku Ichibi, Alicia Keys, Black Eyed Peas, writers of books, and Walt Disney.

Oprah: I've only seen you three months ago and I see you alive on stage and on film. Were you as happy off stage as you appear to be on stage?

Jesse: Naw. Sometimes, I feel emo and depressed offstage except when I'm with friends or with children.

Oprah: You are serious?

Jesse: *looks down and nods*

Oprah: At what age?

Jesse: Age 10 with tabloids, Age 12 with my Assassination Trial, and age 13 with Michael's death.

Oprah: But when you was a child, you didn't have the time to hang out with friends?

Jesse: Not really... Sometimes we were all too busy to play... I don't think I really lost my childhood. People ask me why do I act like a child when I should be acting like a chunin or a Kazekage, the leader of the Sand Village. Why do I hang out with children rather than people my age group? It's because I find the thing that I never had through them, you know Disneyland, amusement parks, arcade games. I adore all that stuff because when I was little it was always "Get this, Jessy" or "Save the man, Jess" or even "Please seduce me, hottie!"
