Aired February 28, 2008 - 21:00 ET
THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.
KING: So you never felt like I wish more were on me?
JACKSON: Oh, no. I was very shy. Well, most -- -- everyone in my family was very shy, especially when were younger. But no, no, never that.
KING: And most of the family still is shy.
JACKSON: We are? I don't think I am.
KING: No, you're not. Michael is.
KING: When you got into show business -- how old were you when you stepped on a stage?
JACKSON: I was seven, seven-years-old.
KING: Looking back, good or bad?
JACKSON: It was great for me, but I don't know if I would take the same route for my children.
KING: Because?
JACKSON: I could see where it could be very difficult. It would have to be something that they truly really want to do. You don't get much of a childhood -- even though I got more than my other brothers and sisters. I did spend time in a regular school with friends, but I also worked a great deal, as well.
So I could see where it is very tough. I know where it is very tough and missing out on your childhood. And I think that's why I still have so much kid in me, which I don't ever want to lose.
KING: Michael has said he didn't have a childhood.
JACKSON: Yes, for sure.
KING: Would you like to tour as a family again?
JACKSON: I would love to. I get my brothers on the phone all the time. I'm the biggest fan of the Jacksons, the Jackson Five. I have conference calls all the time pushing them to do a huge tour. I tell them if they did, I would love to open for them.
KING: You would be the opening act? JACKSON: I have never opened for anyone. I never opened -- my very first tour I was the headline. It was a nation tour. I never opened for anyone. It would be an honor.
KING: What do they say?
JACKSON: They would love to, but one of them is on the fence. You have to respect that. He's worked very hard --
KING: Is that Michael?
JACKSON: -- at his solo career. I don't know. Maybe he'll come around. Still kind of working on him.
KING: What do you make of the anniversary of Thriller?
JACKSON: It's huge. It's big, number one everywhere. Good for him. Twenty five years, how fast did that go by?
KING: When that came out, when it was recorded, did you think it would be what it became?
JACKSON: I knew I loved it. I knew that I loved it. As a matter of fact, he played, as he always did when we were very close growing up, and every time he would complete a project, he would play the entire album. He had a great sound system in his car. We would sit in the car and we would listen to the album from front to back. I loved every song I heard.
KING: A number of years ago, you and Michael did a musical video together called Scream. Let's take a look.

KING: What was it like working with him?
JACKSON: We had fun. That was our first time ever working together since we were kids, and he had asked me when I had done the Rhythm Nation album to do a song with him, but I wouldn't.
KING: Why not?
JACKSON: I hadn't felt like I came into my own yet. I didn't want anyone to think I was riding his coat tails. So then I did the Janet album and I was on tour and I got a call, dunk -- That's my nickname from my family, one of my nicknames. Dunk, let's do something together. I said all right. This time, I feel I'm ready.

JACKSON: I just want to say one thing seriously. I just wanted to tell you how proud I am of you, and how much you've inspired me, and how proud I am to be your sister, and how much I love you. I do. ( CLIP FROM 1993 GRAMMY LEGEND AWARDS)
