Michael Jackson Official Site

In 1983, Michael was asked if he would take some time off given the success of “Thriller”: “If I take a week off, I feel I’m loafing, and I feel like I’m getting behind. I like being active, I like to create. I am constantly coming up with different songs and different ideas and looking and prying into the future, the sound of tomorrow – and this music is constantly changing minute by minute. It’s important not to become ‘old hat’, which is an old expression.”
