I am always writing a potpourri of music. I want to give the world escapism through the wonder of great music and to reach the masses.
Michael JacksonWherever you go, man-made things are man-made, but you’ve got to get out and see God’s beauty of the world.
Michael JacksonStart with the man in the mirror. Start with yourself. Don't be looking at all the other things. Start with you.
Michael JacksonLove. Children are loving, they dont gossip, they dont complain, theyre just open-hearted. Theyre ready for you. They dont judge. They dont see things by way of color. Theyre very child-like. Thats the problem with adults: they lose that child-like quality. And thats the level of inspiration thats so needed and is so important for creating and writing songs and for a sculptor, a poet or a novelist. Its that same kind of innocence, that same level of consciousness, that you create from. And kids have it. I feel it right away from animals and children and nature. Of course.
Michael JacksonOn the brilliance of James Brown's dancing − and the frustrations of bad camera-work on dancers:cers: I think James Brown is a genius you know when he's with the Famous Flames, unbelievable. I used to watch him on television and I used to get angry at the camera-man because whenever he would really start to dance they would be on a close-up so I couldn't see his feet. I'd shout "Show him! Show him!", so I could watch and learn.
