Michael Jackson was a joker to his core. He loved a good joke especially if it's displayed on somebody else.

Michael Jackson is everywhere. I can't not listen to what we did because it's everywhere. I listen to it all the time whether I want to or not.

I was a question on a game show. I think it was Jeopardy. The question was, "Who is the only person in the world, only female in the world unrelated to Michael Jackson, to ever do a duet with him?" He was doing a duet with me and that's all I cared about.

Whenever you were in Michael's Jackson presence, I mean, he's the King of Pop and the most recognized face on the planet second only to Muhammad Ali. I was often surprised to find out that he felt he had as much to learn from you as you did from him. So he treated you accordingly. Everyone was a teacher to him. He had something to learn from everybody. If he appreciated your creative artistry, he was that much more into you.

There's so many good things I have to look forward to in life and new opportunities that arise every day because of my association with Michael Jackson. I mean, he is the gift that keeps on giving.

Michael Jackson loved studying the greats. He felt that they could only add to what he did naturally. He was absolutely right. I mean, he studied James Brown for years when he was 10 years old, because the Jackson 5 would open for James. He studied him. He studied Fred Astaire. He loved to watch Fred's movies.

Michael Jackson was a joker to his core. He loved a good joke especially if it's displayed on somebody else.
