Use the tools of your trade, if it's books or a floor to dance on or a body of water to swim in. Whatever it is, it's yours.”

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 â€� or song â€� you can be sure that I've given it every ounce of energy and God-given talent that I have.”
Michael Jackson, Moonwalk
