Michael in April 1982 seen outside the Westlake Recording Studios when he had just started working on “Thriller”. He says personal affirmations helped him prepare to make the world’s biggest selling album of all time. “I look in the mirror, and I would say over and over to myself… I’d take a deep breath, put my feet together, raise myself erect, strong like a… a hero warrior, and I’d say, “Biggest-selling album of all time, greatest seller,” over and over to my mind, and look in my eyes. And I’d mean it. I’d say, “Biggest-selling album of all times.” And I wouldn’t accept anything unless this was exactly what I wanted. My attitude was: I want the biggest-selling album of all times, to break records, to do phenomenal work.”
