...Jackson: "Yes, there are surrogate mothers who do that every day. That
happens every day in the world - it is happening right now."

Bashir: "Is that how Blanket was born?"

Jackson: "I used a surrogate mother and my own sperm cells. I had my own
sperm cells in my other two children. They are all my children but I used a
surrogate mother and she doesn't know me, I don't know her."
"And so he was born."

Bashir: "How did you select the mother ... out of interest?"

Jackson: "It didn't matter to me as long as she was healthy. I didn't care
what race as long as she is healthy, as long as she didn't have eye ... and
her vision is good - and her intellect, I want to know how intelligent she
is."

Bashir: "Would you have conceived a child with a black woman?"

Jackson: "Of course."

Bashir: "But I have seen Blanket and I think it is safe to say that his
mother was probably white."

Jackson: "No, you are wrong."

Bashir: "I am wrong?"

Jackson: "You are wrong."

Bashir: "So Blanket's mother is black. But blanket is so light?"

Jackson: "Black people were called coloured people because we come in all
colours from very white - as white as my hand - to very dark, as dark as your
shirt."
"My father has blue eyes. And when they see Paris, they always say Debbie but
that could be my father's genes, you know ..."

Bashir: "Really?"

Jackson: "Of course ..."

Bashir: "So when do you think you are going to have your next child?"

Jackson: "I wish I could have it today ..."

Bashir: "Really?"

Jackson: "I am thinking about adopting two kids from each continent around
the world."

Bashir: "A boy and a girl from every continent?"

Jackson: "From every continent. That is my dream."
