Basically what happened was, she decided to remedy the problem and she checked herself in and it saved our lives.
I mean, I produced a Frank Sinatra special - Elizabeth Taylor, with Michael Jackson, Gregory Peck, I won't even take a picture.
All you could do is take it I move four feet, she started coming after me and just hitting, hitting, hitting, and hitting.
And Michael likes to read a lot. People don't realize that about him but he reads a number of books per week and he's fascinated just about every subject.
And I don't feel in any way responsible.
Oh, I'm sure - everybody alienates - ah, people. But did it stop me from getting her everything she needed? Not at all.
Here we are on a vacation and out of nowhere she starts going to the mini-bar. And I come in and she's violent. And I was stunned.
Nothing can repay me for what has happened to my health. No $10 million, no $20 million, no $30 million, no $40 million.
I wanted to give her a normal life. I loved her. You know, it tore my heart out.
She was, as she said in interviews, basically broke. So I didn't marry her for anything that she could give me as far as financially. I just loved the woman. I mean, I just loved her, unconditionally loved her.
She took basically a year and a half of my life away, and I didn't know if I would ever be able to stand up for a few years.
She bit my bodyguard. She bit him in the stomach.
It looks like I'm this huge shark going in for the kill... I don't know what I was thinking.
She was making great money at personal appearances.
