Additional quotes by Michael Jackson

I knew it was wrong. If we hadn't stopped the process and examined what we were doing, the record would have been terrible. [...] It's like taking a great movie and ruining it in the ending. [...] Some things can't be rushed.

In many ways an artist is his work. It's difficult to separate the two. I think I can be brutally objective about my work as I create it, and if something doesn't work, I can feel it, but when I turn in a finished album — or song — you can be sure that I've given it every ounce of energy and God-given talent that I have.
