"I always want to do music that inspires or influences another generation. You want what you create to live, be it sculpture or painting or music. Like Michelangelo, he said, 'I know the creator will go, but his work survives. That is why to escape death, I attempt to bind my soul to my work.' And that's how I feel. I give my all to my work. I want it to just live."

Michael Jackson.


"There's no use creating music that people don't want. The object is to bring joy to other people's lives."

Michael Jackson.

"There is no question that Michael Jackson is one of the greatest talents the world has ever known. That when he sang a song at the ripe old age of eight he could make you feel like an experienced adult was squeezing your heart with his words. That when he moved he had the elegance of Fred Astaire and packed the punch of Muhammad Ali. That his music had an extra layer of inexplicable magic that didn't just make you want to dance but actually made you believe you could fly, dare to dream, be anything that you wanted to be.

Madonna, MTV VMA 2009.
