You know, when Michael Jackson does the moonwalk, he's showing off! When Prince or Hendrix do a guitar solo, it's confidence! I would hate to be at a show and some nervous wreck is sweating up there and doesn't feel like he deserves to be there.

Beethoven and Beatles, Mozart and Michael Jackson, Paganini and Prince - I like them all.

What I like about Elvis is the same thing I like about James Brown, Michael Jackson, Prince. These guys, back in the day, there was no smoke and mirrors. It was just raw talent. They would step out onstage and command an audience. Talk about awesome.

Michael Jackson, the 49ers and the Lakers - that's what I know about the '80s.

My inspiration is R. Kelly, Michael Jackson, and Prince - for the vocals, anyway.

From Michael Jackson to Peggy Lee, I like it all.
