What if Picasso had gone to the Moon? Or Andy Warhol or Michael Jackson or John Lennon? What about Coco Chanel? These are all artists that I adore.
For the first two weeks of filming, I remember bristling at some of the occurrences on the set, none of which directly involved me. Then I surrendered to the environment, to Michael’s method, and became much happier, even though no one knew what to expect.
Michael is the kind of guy who has rhythm; he has rock’n’roll in his soul, whether he really plays it or not.
From dancing around to Michael Jackson and Madonna as a kid to having my mind blown by the first sounds of punk and indie rock, to getting to play my own songs and have people listen, music is what got me through.
I never wanted to be Michael Jordan, although I would like to trade bank accounts.
One of the greatest moments of my career was on the road promoting ‘Superbad’ with Michael Cera and Chris Mintz-Plasse. We were showing the movie at colleges.
Growing up I was a huge Michael Vick fan.
I think Michael Moore is loathsome, though, not because he dislikes Bush, but because he seems to dislike America.
I take every role seriously. Personally, I never look at any role as Michael White. I’ve done that my entire life.
Teddy Riley was telling everyone I was his female rapper, but he never came through. And Michael Bivens promised me all kinds of stuff but then he told me to wait.
There are Michael Scott moments, which are character choices, but there are also Steve’s reads. Usually the things that I’m the biggest fan of are these weird reads that he does – just the way he’s interacting with other people.
When Michael Jordan quit, I suddenly found myself without a sports hero.
When you think about basketball, and you watch someone like Michael Jordan play basketball – even if you’re a baseball player, there’s still a lot to learn from there.
Speak slowly, Michael. He is an honourable man.
The real Michael Jackson that has not been seen… with children, one in diapers, the other two toddlers.
When I started working on ‘Michael And Michael,’ it was my life for three to four months, and then suddenly it’s gone.
At the end of the day, what would be a Canadian sensibility? Is it Michael Ondaatje? Alice Munro? Is Margaret Atwood more Canadian than Neil Bissoondath?
I began writing with a Michael Buble mentality. I think he’s fantastic, and it’s the perfect music for any date night, ever.
I was in California the first time I heard Michael Jackson wanted to record with me. I was, like, ‘Nah, no way, he’s too big, it can’t be true.’ Then I got a call from Michael’s people at my hotel telling me he was interested. But I still wasn’t believing it – I thought they were setting me up for a TV practical jokes show.
Do we root for Michael Corleone in the ‘Godfather’ films? I think so, even if he is a monster.
I remember, in school, writing Janet Jackson and Michael Jackson and asking them to come get me out of class. I would imagine them running down the hall and asking my teacher, ‘Ms. Daniels, can we get Missy out of class? We’re here to see Missy.’
The people I admire most are those doing outstanding things for the poorest children, such as Michael Wilshaw at Mossbourne academy, Dan Moynihan and all those at the Harris academies, and those at chains such as Ark and the Haberdashers, who are driving up standards in the poorest areas.
When Michael died I was tipped over the edge. I was beyond grief.
Losing Michael Jackson is a handicap. It’s the Lakers trying to win a championship without Kobe Bryant.
It’s like, I don’t think you understand, Michael Jackson’s bedroom is two stories and it has, like, three bathrooms and this and that. So, when I slept in his bedroom, yes, but you understand the whole scenario.
Michael C. Hall is an incredibly detailed actor who can convey so much with just an eyebrow.
The term ‘meritocracy’ was coined by socialist theoretician Michael Young, who crafted the party’s 1945 election manifesto.
Zac Efron is my obsession, we’re the same person. We’re not actually here, it’s like Janet and Michael Jackson. He just puts on his wig and a dress, and it’s me, and you don’t know that. It’s one of the greatest mysteries of all time.
I always use Michael as, first and foremost, a vocal inspiration, and ‘Off the Wall’ was definitely the one that made me feel like I could sing.
I feel blessed that I am able to play really dark guys in a business where they usually want you to play the same character over and over. Poor Michael Rapaport will being playing white homeboys till the day he dies. That’s not the kind of career I want.
Whenever you went into any place where there was Michael Jackson footage at Sony, it was like going through Homeland Security.
I’m a big soccer fan, so any soccer player that I meet, I always get star struck. I’ve met a lot of big stars – Justin Timberlake, Michael Buble – and I don’t ever get starstruck, but when I met famous ex-football players, I just got completely starstruck.
Michael Jackson was a Gemini. Kanye, Lauryn Hill, a lot of people that are amazing artists are Geminis.
I have the most ridiculous TV crush on Michael McIntyre. I fell in love watching him on ‘Britain’s Got Talent’.
I met Seamus Heaney and Michael Longley on the same day in 1968. I was sixteen at the time. Very exciting. They were reading at Armagh. One of my teachers brought me to meet them, introduced me, and I became friends with them.
Michael was the first person to show me what it meant to be a star… but you cannot be that star and not accept all the things that came with it.
The fire in the belly is essential, otherwise you become Michael Buble – famous and meaningless.
My favorite scary movie was always ‘Halloween.’ I love that there’s hidden emotion underneath Michael Myers’ psychotic behavior. Plus, he has the best mask, hands-down.
I probably wouldn’t be singing if not for Michael Jackson. When I started singing, I didn’t like my tone until my mom put me on to Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder, so listening to the way they used their instrument helped me get more comfortable with my own.
When I think of musical geniuses, I think of Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Michael Jackson and Prince. That’s who comes to mind.
People still look at Michael Jackson as being a Motown artist.
I’m a Michael Jordan fan just like everyone else. I just don’t think he’s the greatest player ever.
A lot of the books that have been written about Silicon Valley are really good. Michael Malone’s books are incredible. I think his ‘Infinite Loop’ is the best book that’s been written about Apple.
I always loved Batman, the Michael Keaton ‘Batman.’ I loved those films, and Superman, but I was never a real comic book geek.
I wish Michael Sam nothing but the best in his quest to become a star in the NFL,and I am confident he will get the opportunity to show what he can do on the field.
For Michael Wright and Frank Darabont to cast me as the ultimate good guy and Eddie Burns as the ultimate bad guy, and really switching roles from what we usually play, is pretty awesome. That generally doesn’t happen, but TNT is a horse of a different color.
A lot of the guys that work for Warners and make these big films there all come from the same film school. Like Michael Bay, Zack Snyder, Tarsem Singh – they all went to Art Center in the College of Design. And there’s a certain expectation when these guys graduate.
I’m a huge fan of Michael Jordan, and I love the game of basketball.
I once died my hair blonde, and it looked like an orangey-red carrot top. It was the ’80s, and I was trying to look like George Michael. At the time, the ladies loved it, and I loved it too!
I started at home as a kid putting on shows and lip-syncing Michael Jackson for the grown-ups. Then, in musicals and plays in school. At 17, I was performing in coffee shops and in parking lots at Phish shows. At 18, I had a band that played local shows in the Northwest.
My children, Michael and Alex, are with our Heavenly Father now, and I know that they will never be hurt again. As a mom, that means more than words could ever say.
It’s an issue that we need to have a national discussion about, the militarization of local police forces, and then when they are used to quell peaceful demonstration. Then we have a problem, and especially around this entire case of the murder of Michael Brown at the hands of a Ferguson police officer.
If you don’t think it’s possible to win five golds, go talk to Michael Phelps.
I love, love, love Michael Jackson.
I’ve been watching Michael J. Fox since I was a toddler, basically. I watched all the ‘Back to the Future’ movies! I’ve been a fan my whole life.
I have an acting crush on Gene Hackman; I have an acting crush on Tommy Lee Jones. Gary Cooper. Jimmy Cagney. Michael Gambon. Simon Russell Beale.
I wish Michael Schumacher would come try NASCAR. That’d be cool.
Michael Jackson carried urban America and eventually American society on his vocal cords for a good 25 to 30 years before even hip-hop became the vox populi of America, and then as an adult he shattered racial barriers.
I had piercings all over my face, which did look dreadful, but I got them done while waiting for my husband Michael to get a tattoo. I was bored.
Michael Lewis has the amazing ability to take complex formulas and concepts and turn them into page-turners.
