I love to be casual and comfortable, but I also love the easy glamour of wearing jewelry all the time.

I'm loud and I'm vulgar, and I wear the pants in the house because somebody's got to, but I am not a monster. I'm not.

No matter what happens, I'm loud, noisy, earthy and ready for much more living.

I've always sung in the shower. Now I make the stage a mental shower in order not to get too uptight and enjoy it.

What is a genius? What is a living legend? What is a megastar? Michael Jackson -- that's all. And when you think you know him, he gives you more. I think he is one of the finest people to hit this planet, and, in my estimation, he is the true King of Pop, Rock and Soul.

If it is not to make the world better what is money for?

I find it rather tedious working with some actors who have to go into a corner and bounce up and down, shake their hands and arms, saying to the director, "Just a second - I'll be ready in a few minutes, " while all the other actors are waiting around to get in. Then they say, "OK! I'm ready now." And then they come on and do it exactly the same way they've done it in rehearsal.
